Logman missed your skidder on CL. Wish I didn't was it a private sale or did it go to a dealer. Thanks Todd

I am trading it for the the tj 450 grapple skidder. It's one the members on here's machine. Sorry you missed it!

Well good for you, hope it works out!

Logman, do you go through pickup trucks like you do skidders? :D

logman81 · May 14, 2014, 08:15:50 PM

Nope I've got a ford with the 7.3 diesel it will last forever! I would have kept this one but I was offered a deal that was to good to pass up!

I've had good luck trading machines in the past. Hopefully that good luck continues.... :)

It will all work out just fine :)

logman81 · May 22, 2014, 07:43:00 PM

celliott · May 22, 2014, 08:07:58 PM

Does it have a winch too?
Orange looks good ;D

logman81 · May 22, 2014, 08:35:43 PM

It sure does, best skidder I've ever had.

logman81 · May 22, 2014, 09:03:49 PM

I'm looking forward to using it more, it sure gets around good it the woods for a big skidder it's a keeper! More pics to come!

I'm sure you will like the 450 , I know I sure did and they do get around in the bush fast , your's is a real nice looking machine

logman81 · May 23, 2014, 06:56:06 PM

ehp I like it a lot so far couldn't be happier with, it is a fast machine. I'm sure the more I run it the better I'll be with it . Yes it has been maintained very well and is in very good shape. I have to thank the forum as well, if it weren't for it it probably wouldn't have happened.

Nice skidder! The cab looks big, does it have ac/heat, radio, coffee maker

. Nice score! Work safe out there!

Logman, Glad you are happy with the Beast. It is a good skidder. I am loving the 230 as well. Nice to be back to roots cutting by hand with a small cable machine again. Gone from that to feller buncher, grapple skidder, forwarder, hired help-back to just me, a couple of huskys and a small jd50d excavator to sort and pile. Actually fun to cut wood again!!!

Sharp machine, logman!

logman81 · May 25, 2014, 06:01:17 PM

Yes the cab is very spacious, it does have heat. No radio a CD player is on the list. Yup it's a good clean machine, very handy for cleaning up the job site. Jd540d I'm so glad that the machine working well for you it's another good one.
