Mountain logger skidder?

[starmac]

Anybody have any experience with these.
A friend mentioned he would sell me his. I do not know what model it is, but it isn't a very big one, Has a 453 for power, does run and work well.

What is the good, bad and ugly as far as mountain loggers go.

There are some old threads on here about them, your post made me look.

Never operated one, but understand they are built like a Garrett/tree farmer. Parts easy to get, like others and built well

No, Mountain Logger was a seperate brand. Not the same as my Pettibone "Mountain Goat Speed Skidder" :D :D

My brother sold them with Mornes Equipment in Grand Rapids MN . They were built in Kalespell MT.

There is a local legend about one that used to work up by Squaw Lake, had a 2-53 Detroit in it. The oener got drunk one night, and on a dare, winched himself up into a tree- right up off the ground!

They are basically a Clark in different outer metal shape . They use Clark diff tranny's and same engine choices.Tuff machine just a bit heavier than the same size Clark.
