Hi Folks ,Does anyone have a clark skidder in use or not? Purchased one two mths. ago. What does it compare to in the TJ line up?
I would think similar to a TJ 360. Depends on age.
Hi! Neilo. I think the clark 665D is a 1987.It came with 24.5-32 tires. With a 667 drive train, Also an extension to the frame to compensate for the drive train.
Sounds like a nice machine.
What's it powered by?
And you know the rule.
Pictures required. :D

Hi everyone here is a pic of the skidder as requested, it is powered by a 353 Detroit.
Looks great. That should pull coconut palms no problem.
Congrats and good luck with it.
Hey Coconut, that's a nice looking machine you have there !! Many years ago I worked a 664 that had been re-powered with a 453 or so they told me. It was an awesome machine to drive and pulled like crazy. Bigger tires made it a bit of a climb but it was worth it.
Enjoy the ride and safety first !!

Global warming is just doing all kinds of bad things with invasives in Canada. Now coconuts too... next thing we know he'll be telling teakwood to move up from Costarica to get rid of the *DanG teak.
