    What I saw a skidder do going up a hill - He would use the logs pushing him up the hill by not letting go and close and they push back. Raise high and go a bit then loop back in the push down and pull in then rise as you push outward and it helps. loop back... method. 🙂

I've noticed tho that the woodlots in your area are opened up more then ours . Makes sense to run a grapple rather then the cable rigs!!

    The tigercat bogie has revolutionized the timber industry. The tracks an extra wheel can pull an hold up on ground pressure. And pull more wood than a 4 wheel skidder. The price is the only downfall.
