View attachment 401537 Here's one of the few pics I didn't take off google. Lol
It's a JD540A I had for 12 years. It came out as though it was a painting.

Great pict, kinda frosty. That in Ontario woods?

Yes, just north of Toronto, east of Guelph, west of Barrie and south of Orangeville.
This is the closet I came to flipping it. Lol

I seen one flipped over backwards once, logs being hauled snagged against a tree, driver was green and just froze til the roof hit the logs, he was ejected and just ended up bruised and a shoulder separation. The skidder actually wasn`t damaged too badly, tough machines!

Ya, it's important to drive slow with a hitch unless you've already been down the same trail a few times.

I flipped my Timber Jack 404 just turning around on a road back in 74. Pulled up a bank just a little too far and could not reverse fast enough and over it went. Still have my hardhat with the dent in it were I hit the ROPS being upside down.

Came close to flipping a Mountain Logger 200 grapple but they are pretty stable. Low and wide.

The Mountain Loggers were made about 20 miles from me. Road a bunch of em in my younger days.
