Very nice! If you still have it by the GTG I may be very interested.
Have you tried it on any different pitch chains?

Nope. It came in with some other stuff and I basically mounted it to the blue angle iron and spun a chain or two with it. I believe it to be a breaker and spinner but haven't used both functions. It also took me a couple try's to get that nice of a rivet. It is self oiled with a small chamber under the red cap. I was going to keep it for portable repairs but chances are slim that I ever use it in the field over grabbing another chain or saw. I also have a foley Belsaw breaker and spinner in the shop.
Not surprised it went so fast.

The skidder is a small one by todays standards, I suppose, but no tractor can do what one of those rascals is capable of. The big winch and all wheel drive is what really shines, that and the fact that it weighs a tic over 20,000 lbs. Yup, replacement for the tractor that burned. This is our first front wheel assist and so far liking it. It has a lot of lift capacity!!
Yea you guys will love the MFWD (4x4, front wheel assist). I can speak from experiance that hills are a lot less arduous with all wheels working in your favor. I would like to have a rear diff lock that I could shift in and stay there until I shift it out but can't have everything I guess.
Very nice... And yes the little skidder is a huge help I'm sure. You guys are lucky to have the JD since it's designed exactly for that job!

Sure nice of you guys to take the time to do this. Lot more work than it looks like I'm sure. Look forward to lending a hand. Just let me know when. Only have 1 more working week before having a much more free schedule.

the concrete was ok???
yes I think mark or ron posted it was ok for re-use.
I know I'll be busy a few of the weekends between now and the GTG... But if I have a free one and a one armed gimp is useful I'll come up to help. I could at least cook lunch or run errands or hand out drinks.
