The guys I've seen use them have the green guy run the skyline out but remember the cable isn't as big and you're not going out the distance.

You should pick that think up for the kids' sandbox. Cute little thing. What's the radar dome on the roof for? Maybe commie detection...
55 degrees and sunny here, rain last night. Hope winter comes back soon so we can go back to work.

You getting closer to deciding what machine you want yet?

We're getting there just all will come down to money and support. The ponsse is nice but way too nutty expensive to be honest so probably a track machine. Fixed or dangle not sure yet but probably a fixed Skidmore head I know from talking with my dad he was super impressed with how stuff has been done on them. So time will tell and see what comes up deal wise I know the harvester I'm running it on borrowed time which is too bad it's been a great machine.

Anyone need some mud?

No thanks. We have plenty of our own. Some of it is still under water.

2 below Saturday morning and tomorrow 45 and sunny. Then back to the single digits by the end of the week. I hope the cold holds out for another month.

You guys can keep it I'll keep trucking if this weather quits, the mule trains don't like the snow and coming off the mountain for some reason.

I got to run a Hitachi zx200 the other day, fergot to mention it...
Just shovin brush around and trying to fix a mess a neighbor had created.
Didn't seem any more productive then my ex120, was a whole lot more stable, so picking up the bigger stumps felt better, and I'd imagine if someone else was wiggling the sticks for the stump jerkin (it wasn't I) it would be more better at it...
Still think the smaller 120-160 sized machines are about perfect for what I do though.
Also it was a rental... and in serious need of some grease, an oil change, they had to put filters on it and blow the lines out... teeth had fallen off... 6000 hours or so, and my ole gurl with 9700 hrs feels tighter, Granted their heater works so I guess its got that going for it...

That's some of it but a lot of it is the guys can produce a lot more with the bigger shovels less grabs means less walking.

Bigger stick makes sense there, especially in a clear cut scenario.

It's not just the boom it's the lift and grapples. Even thinning a shovel front makes a huge difference you can suck the heel and grapples to just outside the tracks.

Grapples would be dandy
