What, No Olivers?
Wow, you guys got some neat wood hauling toys! Must be all that fuel oil/propane/NG you've been saving! My dad would have loved looking at all the A-C's, we had a WD narrow front when I was growing up. The trip loader was operated by a cable/hydraulic setup. I like my 550 Oliver better, but it's a bear climbing over the loader frame.
Thanks!

4x4 articulating mini skidder
Here's mine. Swivels and articulates as well as a steerable front axle.
35 inch tall tires, powered by a Honda 13hp that drives a hydraulic pump
that powers a hydraulic motor that runs thru a 4 speed trans. Geared
extremely low, 1st gear is half the speed of a normal walking pace. Rear
body is set up with a winch and a mechanical type 3pt hitch for lifting
the log butts off the ground. The articulation makes it impossible to lift
a tire off the ground, one wheel can be 4 ft up on a rock and the other
half will remain in contact with the ground.

4x4 articulating mini skidder
Its home made by me. It uses Jeep CJ front and rear axles, the swivel
joint is a complete front hub from an older Jeep. The drive shaft runs
thru the center of it. Rear body bolts to what would normally be the
front wheel hub, allows for 360 degree rotation. Drive line is chain driven
from a 4 speed trans to the drive shaft. The hydraulic drive makes for
no pedals etc, stop on a hill and the hydraulic motor locks up and becomes
a parking brake. Right now the steering is done with mechanical linkage, will
be changed to hydraulics later. The hydraulic system is also set up with
quick disconnects to power a log splitter. Front axle also steers via a 12 volt
worm screw, makes for very tight turns in the woods. Only failure so far is
a split u joint, i used one from a PTO shaft and it could not handle the load.
The rest of the u joints are regular spicer type Jeep units. I built it to go
places my 4 wheel drive John Deere tractor wont go.

Your Massey Harris looks like it's been through a few rough spots but still going strong. I could quiz dad to see if he could identify model and age. I am not up to snuff on my Masseys.
SWAG says a model 30 or 44. I have a neighbor that collects them.

The front end has been replaced and thats why it looks raised in the front.The seat was a homemade job welded on.

that is so cool. Do you have pics of the buildup or a link to a site? I'd love to see more pics.
That birch log is tiny.
More pics!

This is Pedro. He's got his teeth sunk into 12' of 28" Red Oak. Pedro is only 48" wide. NOT the easiest way to carry a log out of the hammock, though. I have other pics of him carrying a log this diameter/size, in three pieces, in the grapple. That, I can walk through the woods with.
I am about to fab a log dolly that will be centered under a log mid point, and hitch/winch up to the reciever on the back.
I think if you clicky the linky, it takes you to webshots to see the rest of the album.

Hey JimW,
That looks like the big brother to my wood hauler! A 1970 PUG now called the Badlands model.
The tires on this one are 26" and it's run off an 11 hp Honda. Mine needs 'ring' or diamond chains though.
The log arch was built by a friend and has a 1200lb winch that I run through a 'doubler'.
Been considering just building a rack to carry 4' firewood out but it sure can drag some timber!
