That's a nice looking machine.  Wouldn't mind having one, just not sure what I'd do with it  :-\

Good luck with it.

Yeehaww! Now you is a loggin! Nice Christmas present Logman81! :new_year:

[logman81]

Thanks everyone for all your help and compliments. I'm never going to sell this one. Now just need to get more jobs to keep it pulling wood. I'll post a little vid soon on youtube of it in action pulling wood so you can hear that screaming jimmy!

Should pick up that piece of angle iron laying on the landing.

Something about those C5-D's i just can't help but love-em

[logman81]

That is actuall hi some granite pillars that someone left there. Finding all kinds of metal stuff too. Yes love the tree farmer brand now that I own one. It rides better and it seems to pull better then the bone. If I had the money I would buy another one and have two to play with! I know now why you liked them. I plan to do a full resto to it once I save up some money.

nice machine, i need chains like that.

[logman81]

Yes chains make a big diffrence. I re corked the ring chains and they seem to be holding up well. I bought two new 8' chokers today so now I will have six all together.
