16 жыл бұрынJust some pictures that I took last week. Sorry about the spaghetti western music, but it happened to be exactly the right length that I needed!

Oh, no! They just keep going and going! There's even an old UH-14 over here, still running, I think, but it was parked when I saw it. The UH-181 is the preferred backspar, along with the Cat 235. More rugged than the EX-400.

Lots of our stuff was only used on the coast of British Columbia. I think some of our old iron went to your neck of the woods recently, though, so keep your eyes open for it! Lots went to NZ, as well.

I guess the good thing (or bad, depends how you look at it) about those old cable loaders, snorkels and large yarders is that you can't buy them new so if you need one you have to keep the old ones going.

My Dad was running a 181 once, and the stick started coming in on its own. Nothing he did would stop it! Smacked the boom with the bucket.

No, I meant does the hydraulic thumb have the link, like the one on the UH-14-2 backspar. It allows the thumb to close even with the bucket fully open. Lots of the old roadbuilders had them, but you don't see them much these days. Gangesex says that the 181 was only built from '84 to '87, so that narrows it down.

Smart man! Farming is probably much more stable than logging these days, most of the coastal operations are shut down now.

Thanks for the old backspars, too bad their just rusting away. How about the old cypress loader is that in use or parked for good?

Nope, it was always a QC Division machine. We had the Y12, it came from somewhere else. And the Y03, but it was a 144.

Believe it or not, the UH-181 is supposed to be going back into the bush! The 235 has even had its gantry removed, so its life must be finished. The 7230 is pretty tired, so it probably won't be going anywhere soon. But you never know! The orange 181 that was in a couple of my 1990 videos is still going as a backspar, I'll try to get a picture of it.

Chapman put most of the early Hitachi roadbuilders together. Installed the guarding, etc. Does yours have the link type thumb, or the direct acting thumb?
@jusportel 16 жыл бұрын
Okay, I'm trying to watch your video now, but it could take HOURS on dial-up. That type of thumb is rare these days, but I see Kimchiman was running a machine with one, and Gangesex has one, too.

Whats the story on the 7230C Loader? Is it still in use or has it been put out to pasture?
@jusportel 16 жыл бұрын
Does it still have CHAPMAN decals on it?
