Seriously wish somebody ANYBODY still built something that small. We can only buy new stuff and nothing today comes in at less than 35000 lbs near as I can find.
Look to Europe... There is outfit overthere making a smaller skidder, can't remember who? That or convince the local stealership to paint up an older machine and pretend its new...
@@madhatte73 www.mascus.com/forestry/used-skidders/lkt-82/9s6jdm5k.html its a possible lead, the LKT 81 or 82 is a smaller skidder, lots of vids on TH-cam, the link above supposedly has them for sale new in the US... While I don't think they are real small like the Deere 440 or a garret 15, its pretty close
I see that you still have a JD steering wheel emblem, if it's the original one deer with four legs. That would be collectible now there are hard to find.
I find that goofy, cause my old skidder is way easier on the ground then any tracked machine I've ever worked with. But I'm not a scientist so... That and what I remember or Ireland was a whole bunch of rock with a little moss on top, so I don't see how a skidder would tear anymore up then Cromwell already took care of
yes sir, the skidder can be moved with a 5yd type truck (26000gvw) and a decent trailer, I've heard of folks doing it with a 1 ton and a gooseneck... but that sounds sketch as the 440 alone is 12000... the excavator needs something more substantial though... anyway, I use my dumper truck (74500gvwr) and an old (ancient really) tandem trailer with air brakes. Costs too much to pay some one to move em, at around $400 each one way.
Love those little john deer skiders I'd love to find one this one looks really nice I like the old gear jamers though

My clark has ears like that. Ive thought about making little cables that come tight when you push the blade down. Kinda like a cat 518
wait... why haven't I done that?
Nice skidder!
Nice run through, don't see skidders here well not on State ground as too much ground damage so not allowed !

Cool vid bro
Do you still own this skidder?
Do you haul the skidder and excavator yourself??
