Mannnnn that sucks!!! Love old machinery ESP loggin iron... One less... Thx for video! You guys have good looking old machines! I live in Cali and we do not get to see the "good stuff" anymore. Newer or nothing and those forestry D6s and ol shovel... I think they're the way to earn a living
Looks mostly put out just smoking could be little fire spots what caught it on fire? And was it just in the cab or was it in the engine. Gotta watch tho them cat dozers can light just as quick as the loader also ever get the loader out? may need to hook both dozers up to it and some skidders
Suspicious circumstances. Was in an active operation but hadn’t been used. Machine was parked next to a huge slash pile and on road that was frozen solid. Heat thawed the ground, machine slid and was in danger of rolling over. Small stream below and needed to keep the fluids out of the stream. 3208 Engine survived. Cab was obviously roasted.
Someone should get their money back from whomever built that road. Built lots of roads ,turnouts and landings in the winter and never had one "melt" away in the summer or when a slash pile was fired up.
Oh and we got it out. But only to a point it was surely not gonna roll. It’s on private ground. Owner will have to deal with the rest. Fire was only about 1/4 acre and right in the property line with BLM.
