Title: Boss is away the bone heads play
Post by: Mooseknuckle on April 13, 2015, 10:27:22 PM
Found this rather interesting video of some clowns beating on a few machines.  I clicked on the link as i didnt recognize the make of the skidder. Still not sure what they are.  :o

Bunch of morrons! I hate when people punish equipment for fun.  all though that skidder has some force and winch pull (breaks!)

Thats what I was thinking. Seems to be a nice sized machine if the price was right.

Are those hydraulic legs of some sort on the back, maybe to help hold the machine when winching?

I was thinking the same. or to put down the winch shield but i think those are fixed like all skidders from the us. In europe most of the machines have ajustable heights on the winchshield and rollers so you can put it into the ground when winching

They gotta be pretty tough skidders if they can take all the abuse.

Can't believe I just wasted 10 minutes watching the 3 videos.  Must be a cultural or generational thing to spend time doing those things. Just don't get it.  To each their own I guess. ???
