Good pics Ben, whose skidder?
Its my wifes uncle's. I have been working with him in the woods lately. The guys pretty cool, showing me the ropes and all. Today he even said I can use the skidder any time to pull out tops with. Much easier to cut and load firewood at a landing than haul out of the woods with my truck.
Ill post some more tommorow if the weather is nice. This hasnt been the case for most of September though as we have already had 6" of snow on the ground.

Funny you should mention that Brian. I couldnt help but think today that if I ran my 044 over with the skidder I would have to buy a 7900 then and there would be nothing wifey could say. I know, you get some crazy thoughts when working in the bush.
I know, you get some crazy thoughts when working in the bush.Actually Gypos skidder is nicer. This one could use a new axhaust, two front tires and a coat of paint. The owner is a function over form kind of guy though. BTW I am definantly not affiliated with any crazy, beaver eatin, Labatt swillin, players smokin cunucks.
Uhh, that sounded pretty stupid, didnt it? Five years of college, a BS degree and not a ounce of it went to my head.

Hi Ben, nice pictures, I like the 440C, mines an older 540A. They made a 340 once upon a time, I would like to get one or even your Uncles 440C. Most 340's were sold in Mennonimee Minnesota or is that Michigan?
I blew a seal on the front axle, but I was hoping it was just a bit of mayoinaise.

The Stihl MS440 is a direct comparison to the Husky 372xp.
Hey gypo, Menominee sp? is in MI as well as WI and MN. Go figure. This skidder actually is a 77 that was bought from a dealer in Escanaba. Esky is about 1 hour from Menominee.
Its 12 miles w/nw of Marquette. Its funny I actually used to live in Flushing, which is only 15 miuntes from where you are. I still have a lot of family in that area. As to the 365. Its kind of a bastard saw. Its basicaly a 372 with a smaller jug. As such it doesnt have the power of the 357 and weighs more. If you are looking at this class saw I would go with the 357 or the new ms 361. You have a very good Stihl shop in your area called Leos saw shop. They are located on Dort hwy between Mt.Morris and Clio. There are no good Husky dealers in the area IMO.
