I asked a buddy of mine, he says his C4's right around there. It'll go a bit more all chained up. You got one or picking one up? His C4 is the most reliable of his 3 skidders. Seems a bit tippy though.

Trying to buy a parts machine for scrap price. Mine is very tippy 18.4x34 tires are too big for it. The one im trying to buy has 16.9x30 but the tires are shot.The 2 rims on the front of mine are cracking bad Ive repaired them but need replacing.The 8 lug wheels are hard to find. 750 each for new.......to much for me...

gajones- I can't part with them but MAY have a place to find some I think. There's a scrapper in these parts that's always got stuff laying around. When I'm up North this weekend I'll stop and ask him.

I stopped there once as I was driving home from Arkansas one time, they are right on the east bank of the Mississippi river. They have a lot of EVERYTHING  :D :D disassembled there!! If you like old machinery of any type you could easily spend a couple days walking around this place and not see it all.
