So that's where it went! You got yourself the cleanest 2054 you could of found. I know that girl as my buddy has been with frazer for 10 years. I tried hunting it down when I found out it was traded but I got beat! Lol :Banghead as far as I know that one did little to no bush work and it shows. Good buy for sure. Here's me new to me 06 2054, it's currently on vacation getting pampered at brandt should have it back in a week. Also my 1992 ex200-2 and a new 370 forester at wajax.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure they hooked up the grapple long enough to see if it worked and never used it again. No dents, no scratches, original paint and not even a deep gouge in the counterweight. I'll have to get some photos of the interior sometime. It's the cleanest 8800 hour machine I've ever seen. From what I've heard, that's how frazer operates.

Typical West coast road builder..... Haha! It's still a backhoe, but it's undergoing conversion to a log loader. Eventually, it may go on the "Straits Waterskidder"

The Straits Logger is in the fraser river right now with this pc1100 on it right now throwing bundells. Pretty ugly looking but cool

Any one have any photos of the newer CAT forestry models?

I'm trying to find 568LL / FM with processing heads on them, but not having much luck.

Happy Holidays!

That road builder with the hydraulic thumb would be enjoyable to operate. The cab looks narrow, but sitting up high enough to see your work sure would be nice.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! Remember to stay safe over the long weekend, we want to hear about it! :thumbsup

Back on topic...

Staying diligent on my CAT 586 search (at least trying to) paid off since I found a couple nice quality shots of a machine that's up for sale, crazy how big that Waratah 625 is. Excellent machine in my mind, Madill makes good product too. Enjoy!

One shot is from Vanner Logging in New Zealand running a Woodsman Pro head

I always wondered why people left the heal rack on after they installed a processing head. I would think not having that extra weight on the end and the extra visibility would out way any possible advantage of still having the heal. I think these pictures prove I'm not the only one with that theory. Merry Christ mas ...TIO

You can have that Doosan. Ran an excavator for about an hour this summer. That cab, for me, is awful. Control levers way to low, and way to close to my knees. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm 6'4" and 280 lbs. Thought the machine operated fair, not much power in the stick.
