do you use it often? I havent even seen one in action actually. Looks like a tiller wheel on the back.

if i'm in pine or small saw logs I use it. crazy wheel on back, you drive with your feet. drive wheels turn independent of each other. it's different.

Im a Massey tractor guy at heart. Never seen one either, but Id bet it shares a bunch of parts with the 1505/1805 4wd tractors just by the looks of it.

Got a couple farm tractor books at home, I'll see if they have any info in them on skidders.
