I set chokers behind a rubber tire skidder for awhile at a logging operation over 40 years ago. Very dangerous. One time I came inches from certain death. I still think about that moment to this day.

She sounds good in my logging career i had two skidders with 3-53 det. a 130 and a 135 franklin my tree farmer c-4 had a British ford my 120 Franklin had a 4-234 Perkins the only machine i wouldn;t own again would be the tree farmer. Put the ear muffs when you put the throttle down !!

I don't know much about logging. Is that birch you are pulling? What is the end product?
@RickBork3 жыл бұрын
That is poplar end product for me is firewood most logging operations around here sell it as pulp wood to the paper mills. Thanks for the question.

If you keep it in the powerband and the right gear you will spin out before you loose power. In high range you can run it out pretty easy. 👌
