death and destruction, I want one, looked like a log truck load or two on the skid, and I'm all game, still have to have cutters, and feller bunchers, somewhere back in the coments someone commented,, and I agree. but all else aside, that's a skedder not sure if it can handle steep ground, but as far as skidding a lot of logs on flat ground, Impressive....
The 6x6 config helps in places where traction is an issue. Snow and mud don't build up on the tracks as bad as on a plain wheel. In really wet areas, they run with chains year round because of the mud. This is an impressive machine.
LOL My coment was in response to a comment someone else posted. Glad like tigercat skiders. I work for tigercat as a machinist running a tos boring mill. Mostly I machine the arms for the felling heads.
those guys are working at my house and you can see them up close skidder,720 feller buncher,and 230 loader these people know what their doing they do a good job also nice vido.
It's great to see the advancement of logging technolody. However, the bigger they get, the fewer loggers required. I remember back in the 80's when you needed 2 to 3 line machines to do what a grapple does now. Not to mention buckermen, fallers and loadermen. I ran 518 and 520 line machines and 480, 550, 668 and 748 grapples. I also dabbled in bunching with Madill 3200 and my sweetheart, the Timberjack (Koehring) 628. Ya, those were the days.
748G, you got to be kidding me, no John Deere is a match to Tigercat, they must be having a John Deere Buncher cutting and thats all he had for him lmfao. You are a dreamer dude, you wish you were in a T/C. Step aside and let the men through.
Then you'd notice that it has flotation tires on the front, and tracks on the back to minimize its ground pressure and reduce it's overall impact on the forest floor.
Im not sure. We have 2 68C line skidders from the late 80's. My dad purchased them new and have run them every year since then. They still work like new. I do know they were made under ranger?
I'm not a leaf licker and I sell enough of my own trees to see that there are differences how machines break the forest floor. That thing in the video is just sad in this regard. Unnecessary damage is unnecessary damage no matter if I lick leaves or not.
I tried looking for the Clark web site to check out the "best" skidder and found mostly ads for machines produced in the mid 80s. Do they still produce skidders? Are they even still in Business?
i will give the T cat it due they are tough machine hard on fuel and motor oil but they just keep on going. I was only ever on the 845 b thing way tough as nails, but from the stand point of operating them i cant stand them to loud the cabs are way to small steady beaten your knees on the dash in rough ground, the AC sucks and so do the heaters didnt like the way the door only opens half way. there great for the guy that owns them no down time not so great for the guy operatin them
clark doesnt make equipment except little forklifts(Korean made). clark as a company went bankrupt. korean hat manufacturer bought the forklift division
@benlong84 toilet paper, and only houses, what their house are built with??? maybe mud? no wood! and your desk? and your kitchen table? they are hypocrites lol
