Title: Lookin For..
Post by: Bobus2003 on February 03, 2013, 05:49:31 PM
I'm on the Hunt for a pair of JD 648G skidders.. I don't care if there Cable or Grapple, Single, Dual or Swing. Series II or III or Straight G's..Wanting to keep in the 50K Each Range.. Let me know if any of ya know of any.. Doesn't really matter on location, tho closer to SD the Better..

Also lookin around for a Good used Tigercat Bogie Skidder, and Specs... Don't care on its configuration either.. Clam-Bunk or Dual Arch..

Yeah I came back too the woods for a bit, But wasn't makin the $$.. But I got a Job with a Utility Construction Company, and they want some Custom Equipment Built. Already Bought a '82 518 (Shooks that was sitting on the Bush Ranch) And now I'm in need of the JD's to build more of these:

And want to mount one of these 650 Texoma Drills on the Bogie Skidder:
