8) My new forwarder arrived at dealer today. Big thanks to P.E. O'Halloran trucking for getting it there 4 days sooner than expected. It needs gone over and tracks installed and hopefully it will be hauling wood by mid week.

Yes it is mounted on a TJ 380 I believe

Yes tracks on front and back probably be on front til may depending on weather and ground conditions. I ordered the eco soft track supposed to have less ground pressure than standard eco track.
Nice Machine enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)
8) Put the tracks on today. Hoprfully if the permits come in we can be pulling wood out on wednesday afternoon.

Awesome! Can I pull a turn with it? ;D
Big machine, around here if you would pull up to a farmers place with a machine like that it would give him a hearttack ;D

I'm sure it would I haven't worked on too many farms that I can remember. It is the same width and length as my current Cat and weighs 5 ton more. But with a full load on it tracks front and back ground pressure is 5.66 psi front 8.7 psi on back according to eco tracks.
She's a beauty.
Nothing means business like 8wd with full on tracks! Ground pressure is surprisingly low. And with the articulation of the machine, it moves the weight around nicely.
NICE looking machine. Good luck and happy hauling... 8)
That looks like Lyons ..in Little Valley?
looks good, I like the tracks, a lot of people give them good reviews.

It used to be now it's owned by C.J. Logging Equipment. What a sad story about Lyons.
So, does it get some stakes?

Yes not putting them on til it's delivered.
There are a few of them working around here and guys seem to be happy with them. So it should serve you well. Nice looking piece of equipment.
Congratulations, awesome looking machine 8)

The manual says 25 ton plus the tracks. I don't know what they weigh.
