Hahaha. Fleabay is just a pet name for Ebay.
There's a lot of online equipment sites. If you're in Alaska, getting a skidder there may be your biggest expense.

Ya getting it here , Best thing I can think of is buying a truck and trailer at the same time and place and driving the whole works up here .......

.
. As I,m not feeding a mill I,m only wanting a small line skidder ,like a 225 or 230 Timberjack , or a 440 John Deere , a small Franklin, Clark, Tree Farmer,. Ect ...Would like one with a screaming Detroit in it .. A nice little 353 ...................
.
. I,ve done plenty of the great big timber thing .. . It,s therapeutic doing small firewood retail sales ................One man operation ................

I would say it is a great time to be buying a skidder as most timber cutters I know are slower than normal. Atleast here in NC.
