@@IRV707 Depends how far out from its centre of gravity you are…. Right up close I’d say 800lbs or more would be reasonable, at full extension 200ish? Maybe in the spring I’ll see if I can find a load cell at work and do some testing and get actual numbers…. They are quite strong and I can see why people like adding counter weight to the back of them, the hydraulics aren’t the limit, you can pull yourself over easily if not paying attention.

@@farawayfarm2520 It was very entertaining tho…. 😏🤣😎

He was fine

@@jonperley9722 I helped put a new cradle in this skidder on the landing a couple years ago, boy what a pile of work!

@@PuskwaskaOutdoors yes it is ive done a few for others cut out the old bushings and weld new in it isn't a fun job keeping them well greased is the best thing every day!

@@BigCatRanch Been so long since I asked my Dad about it I honestly forgot the back story on it… but you aren’t the first to mention it looked familiar 👍

@@jamesford7182 🤣 There is a teenage out there somewhere who makes a million bucks a year by recording himself playing Roblox…. Perhaps you should watch him instead of me 🤣🤣🤣 He’s probably celiac instead of vegan, vegans aren’t really relevant these days.

@@PuskwaskaOutdoors Why? Is that your next TH-cam get rich by clicks scheme?

@@jamesford7182 No I prefer baiting commenters into arguments that up my audience engagement stats, it gets my content bumped up in the search’s 😏 Thank you and the 46,000 other people that clicked on this video 👍

@@PuskwaskaOutdoors That's fine. I enjoy showing your readers how they are being conned by someone who doesn't tell the truth simply to sell them stuff. So, its win win. You get to strut like a complete buffoon and I get to point that fact out to your audience.

@@craigkerr9281 Oh you want the actual price? It was approx $6500 at the end of the day after paying roughly 20% tax and buyers fees at Ritchie Brothers Auction, Keep in mind that’s Canadian money and $1cdn gets you around $0.71us, I live several hours north from Edmonton, they were still quite new to the market when I purchased it, having a cab almost doubled the price (totally not worth it)…. Open cab versions are still selling In the $2500-$3500cdn range at auction here plus the 20% extortion from Ritchie Brothers.

@@lawrencekellie I hated it a bit when I was younger, always wanted to do some office type of job instead of pulling cable or packing saws up and down a mountain…. Now I have a fairly cozy career but I go back to help my old man as an unpaid holiday every year because I really do love the work… Small scale logging in Canada is dying, and I’ll be sad if I live long enough to see the end.

@@osparker2 Yeah you can just switch the lines around to either control pattern…. It’s pretty straight forward on the cabless models, mine would be a bit more involved.

@@TractorWrangler01 I compared the control valve on my log splitter the other day to the mini excavator controls… the log splitter won 🤣 But for an acreage owner who needs to fill a pot hole, dig in a garden, lay some weeping tile around a house etc etc you just can’t beat what these minis bring to the table.

@@GaryBonnell-m9q Ask the mill what they are doing with it…. They won’t take logs OVER 28” at the butt.

@@twinheatingairconditioning135 Depends on the operator…. I’ve pulled myself around on a slope I won’t drive my quad up and down, and when you have a hoe you can make almost any terrain into a passable trail with a few scoops of dirt here and there…. But if you haven’t ran a hoe before the short answer is they are terrible at both.

@PuskwaskaOutdoors thanks

5W-30?

@@djbradles About 2/3 the weight of green oak….

Can't go wrong for that money. If nothing else your son will be the coolest kid on the block is what I figure!

@@Steve-lj1gp my advice would be DONT. They are too fragile for rental machines.

@@BrandonBigB956 you aren’t wrong 🤣

@@jseadog1394 it all depends on the operator, I’ve taken mine down a roadside ditch embankment to clean out a culvert basin….

@PuskwaskaOutdoors okay, thank you Pusk.

@@gor4988 Some people have added them, it would be super handy 👍

@@UvozAutomobila I think it’s money well spent if you are handy enough to fix the little problems that they come with and understand it’s a very small machine so everything takes time….

@@LarchLine Loose mounting bolts won’t cause a leak, it can be from multiple places unfortunately… when I’m trying to find a leak I start by cleaning the area as well as I can with brake parts cleaner or my pressure washer, operate the machine in short intervals and periodically inspect the area the leak is in, do not feel around with your hand when the machine is running as you can end up with high pressure hydraulic oil piercing your skin and causing severe injury! Thanks for the sub 👍 it’s been a loooooong climb to this point 😎

​@PuskwaskaOutdoors, yeah! I know about climbing... we are climbing on your path too... we are 200 subs behind you... good luck... you are close... I'll try to get you 4 more...

​​@@PuskwaskaOutdoorsIf you're looking for a hydraulic leak wrapping or stuffing some cardboard around the suspected area is the easiest way to find it. You don't have to clean anything.

@@MiddleOutdoorsman The Danchel stove has been pretty solid and reasonably easy to setup so far but I’ve really only used it a handful of times, it’s not the stove but rather the tent that I don’t care for…. The amount of condensation inside of a nylon hot tent drives me crazy, I guess once you’ve grown accustomed to a GOOD canvas tent it’s hard to go in another direction… I was actually looking at various hammock hot tents last fall but ended up asking Santa for the OneTigris North Gaze and the canvas version of it was under the tree Christmas morning, haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I may take it hunting as a field test for winter camping, I still like the idea of a hammock hot tent tho, tons of room for 2 people but reasonably light weight and you get a long straight ridge line the length of the tent to dry gear on and you can walk around inside of it…. You can’t do that in a teepee tent unless it’s HUGE. I think something that gets ignored by a lot of people talking about hot tents or looking to buy a hot tent is the other environmental consideration, your buying a hot tent to stay warm in, days get shorter in the seasons your going to use it in, do you really want to be stuck in a tiny tent you can’t stand up in feeding a tiny wood stove every hour or two thru some long dark nights? I’ve done it enough to know I don’t really enjoy it, my “big” Snowtrekker (9.5’x11’) with my “big” Knico Alaskan stove on the other hand is a canvas cabin I can live in for a week or more and I actually miss it when I get back home… As for a cot? Just buy one, the frustration is real but worth it, being off the ground with a bit of warmer air under you takes the chill off, I use a closed cell foam pad on the cot and I sleep like a baby even if the fire dies…. When my missus comes out with me she has the same sleeping kit as I do and she reminds me when the stove stops glowing cherry red 🤣

@@carlearley9571 when I’m not around my dad hooks his own turns… keeps him feeling young I guess 🤣 I had a look at an 880 last week, even posted a picture on the Clark Skidder Facebook page, quite the machine, I’d givver a go 😎
