Hey everyone, Well running toward the end of what I have for now, lol, I hope you have enjoyed. This was a nice load, $2500.00 for just these 2 logs! Talk about having seen it all, I dropped this tree and it landed on top of another tree and balanced all the way up out of reach...

Hey Everyone, So from here on I will just be posting general logging pics, with some equipment in the mix. All these pics were taken either from our place, my best friends place or my Uncle's place. Couple with my brother and step-son. This load was worth 3k! Enough for...

Hey Everyone, Well I will have to get some more pictures taken of the equipment, there are still alot of things I just haven't taken pics of yet, (not sure why), so I will put up a few logging pics and a few other projects I have done. Here is a tamper I made this summer while working on...

Hey Everyone, So big boy part 2: Well we started by removing the old dump bed which was totally shot, completly rusted thru, it did raise empty but there was no way I was gonna try hauling anything in it, lol. After 15 or so gallons of muratic acid, and a few hours with the pressure...

Hey Everyone, Well what say we move to the big boy now. This was one of the best investments we made, it took tons and tons of work, and a bunch of cash to make it usable, but in the end it has been worth every minute and penny. Ok so this is basically what we started with, so I...

Hey Everyone, So this is the last pickup added to the fleet, it is an 85 F-250 4x4 6.9L diesel. A friend actually gave this truck to me just to come pick it up, we had to drive all the way to the North end of Il., to get it, when we saw him pull up and jump out and throw a block...

Hey Wildfire, First Thanks for the prayers, & well wishes, they are greatly appreciated! Yea I have a few ideas on how to use the front output of the motor but would really prefer to use a proper coupling, the biggest issue with doing it another way is the splines are so fine on it. I had...

Hey Everyone, Well I think I will go with the trucks next, lol. Have I mentioned how hard logging is on equipment? We have also worked our way up from just one 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup, (V8 gas) and the trailer to another 3/4 ton 4x4, (6.9L diesel), Ford F-900 with log bunks and 20' knuckle boom...

Hey Everyone, Let's add in some of the tools and equipment used to modify and keep all this up and running first. This is another smaller trailer I put together mostly to move firewood around with, but I needed to move all the welding stuff from the barn to the house over this past summer so...

Hey Sledge, Thanks much. Not to side track the thread, but they are going to try fixing this the easy way first, which they feel confident they can do, biggest issue is one side only has 5mm of tissue for the plug device thingy to get ahold of, so if it won't grip that lil bit of tissue or if...

Hey Everyone, Ok so here is the second installment on the D4. Fast forward 2 years: Well the 6 banger from the Jeep did a great job, but like I said it was a tad light, so when my brother went out to start it one very cold winter morning without checking the oil first, and proceded to send a...

Hey Everyone, Well here is another little project I have been working on for the last 10 years or so, this is one of those in a constant state of change, lol. It is a 1949 D-4 Cat I salvaged from an old farmer, it had set out in a hog field for at least the first 10 years we lived out here...

Hey Everyone, I thought I would share some of the equipment mods & implement creations I have done over the years. It is amazing how much more functional a piece of equipment can be with a little imagination, work and steel. I will start with a basic pic of my L1500DT, she isn't much to look...

Cabu, Yes I can and will post pics IF I can find the adapter I am looking for. I was hoping Vic would have responded by now, but since I am new here I don't know how much time he has to follow these threads. Maybe I will try sending him a PM. I have a bunch of pictures of different mods I...

Hi Vic & Everyone, This site is awesome, loads of great info! I originally wrote this as a comment on the main page but I got an error when I tried to summit it so I am posting it here instead, not sure if this is the right spot for it, if not please feel free to move it. I have a L1500DT and...
