Title: garrett 10 skidder
Post by: EricR on August 05, 2011, 09:32:18 PM
I currently skid logs with my 30 horse kubota and even though it gets the job it certinly isnt built for doing it every day.  anyway, i would love to replace it with a garrett 10 and was wondering what the odds of finding one in new england are.

I think I've been by there and saw that skidder a while ago. Was not for sale than. I almost stopped and took a picture but did not want to bother anyone. Maybe you can take a picture for us.
