I have the remedy to the whole dilemma, Extractor. Chain the front blade up, take the flame wrench and mow the loader off the back. Have the owner buy 2 truck-mounted loaders and just load the forwarder with one, and haul the logs down to the header with it. At the header, loader #2 will unload it.
You can enjoy a full recovery without getting your hands dirty that way, and production is at a premium. Plus you don't have to rack your brain figuring the problem out.

Just a thought.:laugh

it is my T-12 I think.... The one the bottom rib attaches to. I am so very blessed that I am not in worse shape than I am. Basically they sent me home with brace. There is a small piece of the bone somewhat loose in there,
but it is a long way from "the cord". It doesnt even really hurt that bad I am up and around with not much trouble which is awesome. Lots of small tasks are now a challenge but I can deal with it. Ill see about getting some pics up.

It's not good to hear that you got busted up, but it is good to hear it wasn't worse.:yup
