Slef loader trucks What do you guys have?

[jrcat]

I was wondering what some of you guys have for self loaders or what you favorites are The company I work part time for has 3 log trucks. 2 - 2000 IH paystar 5000's with serco 8500's and one 97 frieghtshaker with a prentice 120C. I love the serco loaders they are fast strong and agile but heavy. The prentice is fast and strong but not too agile but is lighter than the serco I think. I learned to run log loader 2 years ago and thought I could do it just fine right off the bat because of lots of excavator experiance. I was wrong lol. Of course i started off loading pole wood. Nothing loads harder or is more dangerous than pole wood or so Ive been told. After 2 months of that I finally loaded my first load of saw logs. WOW what a difference lol. Learning log loading/trucking was a fun time.

So what is your experiences?

An ancient IH cabover. Several of the knobs and switches actually work too. The loader works fine. I'll post a pic later in the week if I can.
