Gypo...is that Super Dave Broswick's MP?? If so that would Wild Bill Crombie driving. I used that very skidder for one summer, but not for logging...We did some firefighting and some work on the farm. You need to come out and do some winter logging!

Hi Dennis, ya thats Dave! Save the picture and show him when you get a chance. Bill Crombie has 7 2100's waiting for me in Clearwater, so dont get any ideas and lay off of them, or I'll hit you with so many flurries, you'll think your in a snowstorm.

Logging in snow land

John is it a 150 or 200.???? Must have a Clark winch on it you could not let it get wet and have a Gearamatic or it wouldnt work half the time. HAVE TO LOVE THAT OVERHEAD MUFFLER IN THE COLD not good in the summer

Old Timber Jacks had the exhaust on top of the cab no mufflers just straight pipes definatly need ear protection and don't mind the smell of diesel smoke.

Its too bad the pine in the interior has got the beatle infestation but with the elino (sp) winters its been fairly warm in B.C. so it doesn't kill the larvae etc. Those logs in the pictures would be classed as firewood for us on the west coast but supposidy the mills can get a bit of dimensional lumber out of it.

logging B.C.

Pacific you right about timberjacks they did have, but they had perkins in them not those loud detroit powerplants . plus they use half the fuel . Ran my first one in 1970 . then bought a ML 200 in 1978. Also had 2 log trucks. Now i have hot saws, i have been sick for a long time
