I could definitely use that in my backyard. I got huge 3 1/2 foot diameter oak logs that are about 10 to 15 feet long that I need to move and I want to Mill up into lumber

I am setting this up as a skidder and something just to play with. Not sure yet if I will leave the original flat head Dodge engine in it but if I do change it out it will be a diesel. I built a sawmill but it seems the local forest service doesn't want to give out timber permits here so may have to find a private timber area. Thank for the comment!

That's a very cute little snowcat!

[@sinksalot8860]

They are cute but powerful for their size

I plow with a J5 and removed the doors the second time I used it, then tried them again once, but find I much prefer no doors! - I've never been too cold and I like being able to lean over and keep an eye on my edges, etc..

I want to put the cab from my Thiokol groomer on this unit not only for a second seat but a bit more room inside and I will be sitting higher for better view of my blade or the snowblower I bought for the cat. Thank you for the comment!

Yes, I am subscribed to his channel. These are unique machines and I plan on using this to go to my cabin this winter. Only access in winter is with snowmobile or snowcat. Thank you for the comment!
