Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[JimR]

Anyone familiar with quadrajet? Carb on the 81 Jimmy is starting to act up. Thinking it might be time to swap a edelbrock on it.

Take it apart and clean it. They are a simple carb.

You will regret that decision the first time you wedge a log into the track, pop a tire and have to fix it in a mud hole.

If you really don’t believe me, rent the same machine for a week one with tires and one with tracks, and put them to work and then report back.

It’s such a pain to get equipment down there, I’d only want to do it once.

no he wont! the kid is a very exp'd bushman! well suited for what he does! heck, if i worried about this or that not being big enuff or whatever... i wouldn't even get out of bed each day!!!!

Little baby machine, about one step above a stand up machine. total weight of like 3600lb.

You are selling it way too short. My RC 30 will pick up a stand on machine and throw it down like Godzilla and a transit bus, there aint no comparing the two. I guess pictures will have to tell the tale.....

OMG, there aint no helping you..... I feel like Dr Rick.

 

[Kodiak Kid]

Kid, are you going to be running firewood processors with this machine, or just a grapple?

Just grapple.

I know how dissattsfied I was with the lifting capacity of the RC50 I rented for the winter last year. Great machine, but that is absolutely the smallest I would want.

If he is wanting to run a firewood processor, I would think he would want high flow with in cab controls. Or at least thats the way I would go.

Wow 7 pages of tractor vs bobcat debate

Do you think the TractorByNet or YesterdaysTractors forums have threads that go sideways talking about gas vs. electric chainsaws for 7 pages?

 

[The Shooters Apprentice]

Just grapple.

Ok that opens up the realm of machines that will do the job you want since you don't really need high flow.

Go big or go home!

Its not about not believing anyone! I simply don't have any time logging with a skid steer. No skid steer experience is my problem!
