This is awesome, i grew up logging with my Grandfather and always had toy skidders. I would love to have a fleet like yours, i am going to start collecting them again. Great video.
It was OEM too. It was only available on the line machine model. You could even get one with a little blade on the back of the machine to anchor it for hard winching, I saw a Clark 668 with one but never a Deere. My uncle bought ours new in 1980 and it stayed in full production until 1996 then went to the road crew till 2003. I'm sure to have some pics somewhere.
love the skidders dident see a timberjack in there we owned a 380 cable 471 had the updated injectors in it an it pulled like hell .we also had 225t/518c/528c/668r/an last big John deer power shift dual arch it had Brut raw power ..
We used to have a 740 with 6 way blade it was the only skidder we ever rebuilt a few times. It was on our road crew until 2003. Where do you find the Deere models? I've never seen those sizes before?
I still have that big JD. Pulled lots of logs with it when I was a kid!
