Kubota Tractor for our Logging Operation

We've been using a neighbor's tiny bulldozer for construction skid roads, and a borrowed Shallow 2000 tractor for skidding logs. A 2wd tractor isn't verily suitable for our abrupt terrain, and skidding logs with the dozer disturbs soils much more than we would similar.

So we went shopping for used 4wd tractors. The mental for our budget was a 30-40 HP diesel tractor with a front loader and a 3-sharp end hitch, in useful condition with less than 3,000 hours on it. Here in Washington those are thinly scattered. Tractors we found were either high priced ($15k+) or of great altitude hours (6,500+).

The tractor has enough efficacy for about 90% of our logs, and usually we can male the big logs that create up the other 10%, or use a obstruct and tackle, to bring into being them skiddable. Its medium of vision weight is an egress in the soft dry soils where we're laboring. The machine routinely loses drawing, but in 4wd with the differential fastening engaged, it's more probable to stall than to twist out all 4 tires.

We make fast 1 to 3 logs to the lift up bar using brief chains and grip suddenly hooks, or sometimes a tiny grapple. Lifting the bar raises the butts...
