The machine of two friends. Few weeks back, near my place. I know some of you like the looks of euro machines. Dual winch,  carry grapple, and grapple crane.  Two ways driving position.



 

 

 

Hope you like it.

Thanks, I'm not for much on this one. Just pics of gear that you might not see that often on your side of the pond.

What I'm I missing here. 
Why wouldn't a small operation in the US not want a machine like that?
Crane to sort your own landing and winches/clam bunk.
I would think that would be slick in the woods.

I think those machines look super handy👍

Bruno; you're not missing a Dang thing.
Everyone loves the Euro machine.
It's unanimous. 
Another question might be: why isn't a machine like this being built; or sold, over here in N. America?

Price and market, when's the last time you saw a brand new swinging grapple wheel skidder 2000? From memory.

The problem is they're around 360k+

The EPA, safety stuff, and attorneys would boost that price up here in the states quite a bit.

We have our fair share of idiocy like this in France. And Europe too.

Some of the fellows around here would have grapple wrapped up in tire in short order.

If I had to guess I would say 100% emissions issues! Gotta love the EPA.

I am up in Alaska Fairbanks up.here it's a problem to get what you want so you need to do a lot by your self the crane was from a maintenance truck I modified it I would love to find a second one right now I use it on self made trailer to get the logs home to the sawmill.

that's great eiche, are you from Germany? or german speaking? i'm swiss

nice skidder and fab work, i definitively want something like that in the future, remote winch and crane on a skidder, euro style. I just don't see me spending 160k on a used 8000hour machine like Welte, HSM,..
But i could see me buying an older skidder and adapt all the stuff

@teakwood 
Why not find a swinging grapple setup from North America? The only thing they don't have is the remote winch but most do have a winch.

EICHE, that is one beautiful trailer. Looks extremely functional.

I am guessing the black section in the frame is an extension you put on?
