I was helping an old retired guy today and he had to show me his tractor.  The first thing I thought of when I saw it was that it looked like a mini skidder.  It is a 28hp lombardini diesel with a 3ph and pto and 4wd.



And the chicks will dig it cause hey "its a Ferrari"

That looks pretty neat! :)

Maybe a winch on the back and blade on the front that would be a nice machine!

Being a Ferrari you could probably skid a lot of logs in a hurry. :D

Yes it does articulate.

That's awesome! I've been looking for one locally without luck.
John Deere now has a articulating 4wd, and its made by Lombardini. Its model number 20A, and comes with a 21HP diesel.

Antonio Carrero also makes 4wd articulating tractors that would make cool skidders in my opinion.
Steiner and Ventrac are other small articulating tractors, but don't have PTO :( . All attachments are belt drive.

Well.... I am in the process of building a small tracked version of a mini skidder.  Progress is slow due to a 10 on 5 off work schedule.  Just got home tonight with more parts for it.  Will post some pics in a day or so.  Also working on a grapple log trailer to accomodate the skidder to be able to be used as a forwarder.  Keep in mind that I am amainly working with recycled parts.

What a neat tractor, where they purpose built for a certain type of farming?

The owner used it in a greenhouse cut flower operation.  It is nice for that because it articulates and can turn on a dime.

There is one of those in our town.  They run it through the 4th of July parade every year because everyone thinks its so cool.

I tried a Pasquali that looked similar to that in the late 70's. It turned out to be too small but being articulated it was fun to drive. At the time I was told they were made for vinyards on steep hillsides.
