The Farm Tractor in the Woodlot

[04ultra]

Hey John those logs are lookin better all the time..

I've been doing some research to help a fabricator friend of mine build some guards for a tractor used in the woods, and came across this "slight damage on a Kubota" and thought it might be of interest.

The Kubota can handle a two ton payload with ease. In this pictures I was forwarding logs from a secondary landing to a primary landing.

John what model Kubota is that?

 

[Gypo Logger]

It's a 5700. Not as tough as a skidder by any mean, but if you plan things out it works well.

Buck, the log pile that you are refering to is the second and third grade veneer destined for Asia. The three dots indicate a three clearsided log sold at a slightly lesser price than the ones with a single dot which indicates them as a rotary log. The highest grade as pictured above with "L" on them are bound for the USA as slicer logs.
