Skidding a 15 foot douglas fir log off the mountain. The rest was cut up into firewood but this piece was too nice to cut up. This will go to the mill for lumber.
Great shots and video of the 420C. Love it. Neighbor lost the engine in his 420C by climbing a hill so steep that the oil pump starved for oil and ruined the 2 cyl engine. I bought that 420C from him and spent a lot of time and money getting the clutch's and brakes fixed. But they will pull a mountain. Guess you can tell when starving the engine for oil, as just have to watch the stack... just kidding.
Yeah, these crawlers will go near vertical! I learned the hard way to not be low on fuel when hill climbing too! It will die at a most inconvenient time.
That"s a really cool,old dozer.Reminded me of when I was a kid.Dragging dead tree"s for firewood back to the house with a Honda trail 90.Once you learned how and where to rig the rope,it was pretty amazing what that thing would pull.
Ha! Right! Most of the time I use my little 4x4 to yard out logs. That little car can pull a lot of weight! Trail 90s are awesome. I grew up on 3-wheelers. Handy machines too.
