Hey John,
Picture 933 is the best picture I think I have seen of your work.It has some great Meaning.

Thanks Mark, I was behind John in my truck and was honking for him to stop, but he couldnt hear me, so I zoomed in as best I could, hence the picture.
Anyway, I put on my ice chains today, and at 350#, each side, my as@hole was spittin donuts getting them started on the tires with a fence rail.
I now have at least double the traction, and can negotiate most inclines and side slopes in this lil bit of B.C.

Although the cleats are a bit worn down, they still grab, especially when I kick in the front diff lock. My JD 540A has nothing on the Mountain Pig.

Hi Rob, in order to pass the course, all ya need to know is, whats the difference between "Cut!, Cut!", and cut.

[John Lambert]

For the Love of Locust, John, get a grip!
I was tollin' ya, dont ever get sideways on a slope! It's heavy danger!

[Gypo Logger]

Hi John, I know what you're sayin'.
Remember when I dumped the F600 on it's side when the hoist broke mid air? The 14,000 lbs of Maple firewood didnt help either.
Since then, I have a healthy respect for sideslopes. Remember when you almost fell off of Montana Mtn., Yukon on your ATV?

Gypo, my curiosity has got the best of me. What does Gypo mean? Is that a French name or term? I have assumed it has some association with logging.

Hi Tony,

[StIhL MaGnUm]

Later Rob.

 

[Ryan Willock]

Rob, where can I get a set of those for my pickup????LOL

 

[dbabcock]

This is what it looks like when I custom fabricate my own tire chains for my JD 848G.

Of course, this isn't really a picture of me, it's just an example that I found on the internet.

 

[dbabcock]

Here is a picture of some parts that go into my JD 848G.

Of course, these aren't really parts from my skidder, they're just an example that I found on the internet.

 

[dbabcock]

Here's what my brand new JD 848G Gapple Skidder looks like.

Of course, this really isn't a picture of my skidder, it's one that I found on the internet.

 

[bwalker]

Hey Doug, What did the parts you posted a pic of come out of? BTW check your e mail.

 

[StIhL MaGnUm]

Hey Doug if your making fun of me or don't believe that I own a 848 than why the He!! don't you come and find out for yourself I've asked you quite a few times to come by and we could do some cuttin' but instead your talking a bunch of sh!t I'm sorry I don't have any pics of my chains on the machine but unlike alot of you guy's I don't have a digital camera where I can just snap and download I'm sorry but those are the duplicate chains that I own!

 

[WOLF_RIVER_MIKE]

Hey Rob, have you driven over a Kubota today? Drive that skidder over to Dougs and introduce yourself.

 

[StIhL MaGnUm]

My thought exactly that kubota would be lucky if it's cab is as tall as one of my tires..

 

[John Lambert]

Since you guys are talking about what equipment you have or dont have and/or wish you had, I though I'd put in my 2 cents.
Since I cant afford a new camera, as I drove over mine today, I am hoping that KMC will throw in a new camera for free with my purchase of this 400,000 $ CDN., KMC 2600 tracked grapple skidder.
