just wondering what cusom mods people have put onto thier skidders. or seen on others.
ive seen plenty of tree pushers put ontop of the arch so you can back into a tree and knock it over.
one of the better things ive seen was 1 inch pegs added to the blade corners on an IH S8. when the blade was at ground level they pointed down and a little forward. and were problt 6 inches long. this let operator push wood up without getting dirt in the pile. very handy when you are cutting 8 foot pulp and always seem to have to make a cut in the dirtiest spot.
ive seen some machines with what looked like half a log grapple on the side of the blade. ive never seen one in person, just in pictures. anyone know what those are?
my FIL has always talked about putting a front bucket on a skidder. anyone ever thought the same, or seen one? i blame it on him being a farmer not a logger.
