Could find some newer skidders than that in Australia where the natural forest logging has been shut down. 

Is there any nation putting in for a large forestry development package with an International Aid & Development Agency/ Organization? Someone could put in for 20 or 30 new large Tigercat skidders and six of more 870 tilters in loader spec. Might then borrow or hire a few skidders out of the deal.

I think they want 100% mechanical machines for that application. zero electronics.

Sold alot of cat dozers and wheel loaders over there to the diamond and salt mines, the newer machines cannot handle the heat where the older machines can as they are not as powerfull. They donot figure on machines lasting a long life over there
