Grampa's Logging Arch at Work

Looks like real fun to me, thanks for the photo's, I bet the D2 enjoyed getting a few cobwebs blown out of her too.

That Arch looks way better hooked up than it does sitting as a rusty pile waiting to be scrapped!
Nice save!

Looks great to me Gregness! I always enjoy yarding wood. There's a huge Hyster tracked arch not to far from here that would be neat, but I don't think I've got a big enough tractor to even move it let alone yard with it.

Yep, It was a great day. I also cleared a little land, hauled off the remains of a stump burn pile, and graded out that area. I am still very bad at grading. More practice is my only hope.

Grading with a D2 is tough even if you are proficient, short track length and a light machine compared to the weight of a loaded blade.

Nice rig.

Bruce, that must be one BIG arch if you don't think your D7 is up to the task. There are of course lots of those big ones on tracks over here on the wet side. Mostly just yard art these days. I can't imagine the trees being big enough in your part of the state to need a monster arch!
