jd dozer logging

[mesupra]

If you are logging, it doesn't get much better than a skidder, dozers work well but their winches are typically much slower and their travel speed is slow, also the cost of maintaining. Dozer is typically more. Dozers are designed to doze, skidders are designed to skid, farm tractors are designed to farm. I would take a large farm tractor over a dozer personally.

I have both, a 450 and a 60 PTO HP MFWD farm tractor with skidding winch... If I could only have one, the dozer would be gone!

The farm tractor is just so much faster, uses less fuel, better ride, more usful and MUCH cheaper to own!
