AC and stereo are standard equipment now. the insurance for workers on the ground is just to expensive. most machines with open cabs belong to one man operations now.

im going to meet a man now who is going to help me fix it right now. yea those big loaders are pricey. there is a forestry auction tommorrow in Gladys, VA . alot of older stuff up for sale there. i might go.

[Maine372]

thats the ticket! if youre going to sit in a machine all day it might as well be a nice one.

there two kinds of loggers, those that make payments and those that make repairs. and if youre stuck in the middle making both it reall sucks.

Tf that would do it Mate then just mount the stripper at the front end of a 24' by 6 to 8' wide heavr steel frame with a set of wheels with heavy timber say 8x10s set at each length you want to dock at mills dont mind you being alittle over length on logs  ;) and you could even wack a pair of wheels n a tow hitch to tow it to job sites with Mate  ;) ;D 8) 8) 8)
