- Caterpillar 527 skidder pulling in tree lengths to the landing. This machine was in production from about 1998 to 2008 and was a very popular machine for ground-based logging. However, today it is a little outdated due to new technology and bigger skidders that are capable of producing more per every turn. This video was shot using a DJI Air 2S drone.
We all start somewhere it's nice to hear that young kids are getting into running equipment
I'd just as soon see a younger fella go nice and slow and not tear stuff up, he'll be a great operator over time.👍
A skidded with 4 chains on it will surprise you where they will go with a good operator
A "turn" is also called a drag.... it depends on which part of the country you are in.
Who would like to see Cat build a D11 tracked skidder with this same design ?
Awesome air footage! Greatest thing about these track skidders is that its still a D5 with a blade... Road building champion
Actually the 635 tiger cat can do steep slopes with ease and carry 3 times as much down the hill
my first d4h custom skidder was a 1990 last was 2008. you are correct !
He's learning and will get better and faster
That's pretty steep but I would bring a skidded off there with a trip anyday
I always liked them but never got to run one
He’s doing a fine job!
That’s a nice machine. Looks very versatile.
