It is real easy to find and pick up a cable skidder up here right now, lots of Timber jacks selling for cheap these days. I know of one with low use hours on it, knew the machine since new and could pick it up for around 8 t US ready for work, comes with ring chains on all four so taking a tractor in the woods for any serious harvesting isn`t worth the effort. Still ok for us wood scroungers that can work when the weather permits and not need to make money off the work expended.
Same around here...even more so since a lot of the paper mills have closed their doors. $8-10,000 will buy a you a very nice used machine these days. But they don't like real deep snow either.......once they start hopping up and down real easy to take out a transmission or u-joints.!!!
