Maiden voyage to the woods and back

[Dustyw]

Made a trip to the woods with my soon to be skidder. Looking for any issues and so far nothing major. I thought I would pull the trailer first to ease in to things. Nice load of hickory!! Tomorrow I will try to pull some logs out!

Did I miss a 'build' thread? What was that great skidder made from? I love it!!

I had a post last fall from when I got it. It's a couple of Allis chalmers rear ends, an old Muncie manual transmission, and a Chevy v-8. Plus a lot of other parts. I am going to put a hydraulic winch on the back and a blade on the front.

Thought I recognized the V-8 and was guessin combine for most of the rest. Thanks.

That thing looks like you don't need to skid logs, Just wrap a chain around a couple stumps and drag a few acres of standing trees in.
