No, not Paschale. :D
Pasquali - appears to be an Italian manufacturer of a tractor similar to a Gravely or Steiner. The local JD dealer has one that is set up with a 'Norse 2500' logging winch. It looks like a great setup for small-scale skidding - 4wd, very wide and low center of gravity, appears to be a standard 3-pt hitch and PTO, center articulation, and a rugged-looking Lombardini diesel engine. I know it runs, because every time I visit the dealer it's in a different spot.
I'd be interested in using this critter to skid out logs and firewood, but I don't know anything else about them? Anyone here have or seen one?
I used to get Live "Demos" before buying Tractors ??
I looked at one, they are well built and would be great for small scale logging. I have a neighbor who has one with a farmi winch on the back and dozer blade on front. He like it very much. But look for an extra one as parts are hard to find.
I ended up with a Landini 60 hp for commercial thinning operations.
Take a road trip to OESCO, Inc in Conway,MA (about an hour, maybe a little more from Shaftsbury). They don't have Pasquali but do have similar units. Last time I was there they had one set up with a winch. Great people to deal with.
