Title: TJ and a Prentice
Post by: tnlogger on May 05, 2005, 07:50:27 PM
 :D Well that there son of mine done went and did it.
Paul is now in a position that he eether had to get bigger or cut back on his tracks of timber. He came over and wanted some advise on it. after  awhile we both decided that he would let me help a little and get
some equipment and retire that old homemade skidder i built for him.

  well a friend of my is retiring and i took paul up to look at his 230 TJ and a 210 prenyice loader. after a lot of horse trading i bought both for the son. The TJ needs a couple of tires but i built the motor a couple yrs ago so it's in pretty good shape. The 210 is rough but i held redo the turn table and pins in that  so it'll hold up to what he wants it for.

Oh right timberjack 240 they both have 453s in em so yup they be loud ;D
I guess i'm back in the logging mode again at least in the back ground  :D :D

Total cost of both 15000.00  now i gottageterdone.  ;D

pictures a fothcoming when we get um home.

ya got that one right leweee  ;D. Now if i could get some intrest on the loan i'd be alright  :D
Paul doesnot like loaders too many levers ta keep up with so i guess i'll have ta run it til he can find someone.  Wal we are here only to help our children if we can so it's money well spent  :)

 Hey Rob, think you can get some pictures of you running that big CAT? If you can get some pictures of other machines on site that would be cool too.  :)
