Sweet machine! I'm always on the lookout for an older skidder like this myself. I run a Cat 977H crawler loader with a winch for logging (hence my user name) and it does awesome for shorter turns but for longer turns like what you're doing it would kill the undercarriage in no time! Thanks for the great video! Subscribed!
It's Amazing to see that old Beast run, and still Pull like a New one 👍👍👍
Just gotta know how to use it
My Dad always said about these Detroits “If it ain’t hell, it ain’t happy! Just put it to the floor and let ‘er rip!”
Firewood must bring big money up there, because that's a long skid through a old cutoff just for firewood.
Old girl needs some love for sure

thanks buddy
Those tires are fine. Put chains on em an keep skiddin logs..!
Damn this looks like it would be fun to operate.
It sure is
Only a Detroit works that well ! Just wear earplugs, and keep oil in it and it will keep doing it's job a long time!
Are you cutting off your own woodlot or do you pay stumpage to a private land owner? Bought my first skidder recently for my own woodlot. Thanks
Stumpage
What’s the going rate for stumpage in your area if you don’t mind me asking
@@TitusOutdoorLiving I pay 35 per cord
Should be called just driving old skidder in the woods, nothing else matters
Great machine! I have a 230 super E. 3 speed automatic with 4 cylinder Detroit. 1980. What year is yours?
I’m in Ontario. Where are you ?
Nova Scotia check out my logging playlist
Hollie shit that thing revs
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No money in firewood,running on 4 bald tires! He’s doing it for the love of logging obviously.
I have no issue hauling with bald tires and you break was less running gear
More like just driving in the woods, nothing else don't show anything else
The tires still got a million miles on them lol
I guess if it had Decent Tires on it, it wouldn't RUN 🫣🤣😂
More likely to break stuff that’s for sure
