My Great Grandfather Dwight Garrett actually was the inventor of this and many other log skidders, as well as many other items for home use. It really is nice that people still use these machines, and still update them and keep them working, That would have made him so happy! It's just what he would have wanted. these machines really were his pride and joy, and the Garrett Enumclaw CO. (The company he founded) was absolutely booming during the time this machine was made. To this day the building where all the parts were stored still stands, And now my family is debating what to do with the old property and parts. when looking through the parts, it's really amazing, whats in there, old parts from the 60's and 70's from German and Swiss companies, and some old motor parts from John Deere, most off them never used and brand new in the box . Ideally, it would be nice if we could find a market for people that need replacement parts to keep these old machines going, but The market seems to be pretty small unfortunately, especially when we have two full semi truck trailers full of parts... But what do you think?
That is so cool!!!! I would set up an eBay/Facebook/ Amazon store. eBay for random people, Facebook to post on logging related sites, and Amazon for the newer generation like myself.
Been at this place before it's a lot of fun full of old iron and history my wife took me here for a b-day on way to the coat gotta get back there for more pictures
I agree. I have a video of a Lorraine model 56 line shovel I am going to upload in a day or so just for you!!! It’s so nice. However I know so little about them.
I have a 1964 c4 great little machine that is mostlikely a 225ci ford I have a 353 detroit diesel in mine and the winch is on the rear of the skidder but it isn't much bigger
them Garrett 10's will pull big wood, but you have to be smart and mean with em. the 15's were arguably a better machine, I've always wanted one, for reasons... but the only ones I see come up anymore are devoid of important parts.
It's neat good for fire wood tops and and 10' logs I'll bet she worked great if you keep in mind how small it is big loads you wench out pull ahead wench pull ahead wench

Small and unique enough, for right price it would be a nice collectible, usable and easy to move piece.
I agree. I could pull it with my 10k trailer I bought.
Be cool to have a hydraulic V-blade snow plow on it.
Granddad had a big model 10, he traded in the d4 and the arch for it, they have a model 9 gearmatic winch.
neat little skidder

@@tttco looking forward to it!
Saw one of these sold in Priest River a few years ago.
I live near priest river!!!
@@tttco We should have a coffee one day, buddy.
That would be a fun one. Bit smaller than our 648D.
I have a 1964 c4 great little machine that is mostlikely a 225ci ford I have a 353 detroit diesel in mine and the winch is on the rear of the skidder but it isn't much bigger
I have seen a c4 before. Just a tad bit bigger. They are so cool!!!!
It works great used for what it's made for fire wood single drags

You mentioned that you knew of another one with a bad engine for sale? Do you have more info?
Unfortunately now that I moved to Idaho I have lost connection with the man who owns the skidder
@@tttco thanks for responding
Small jobs it be the trick.
I agree!!!
