[MOUNTAIN MAN]

Awesome! I'll sub you next time I'm on my channel!

Thanks!

Here's my latest logging dio.

It's a miniature Ax Men thing, I'll be receiving a long pole trailer later next week hopefully. The pics won't upload :Banghead So go to the first youtube link on my signature and view the latest vid on my channel.

The dio looks great. I think my model work is going to come to an abrupt stop for a few months. I need to get to work on my old ford and im going to be buying a miller trailblaser 302 air pac to go on the bed. so the cash for the mini stuff is pretty well dried up. haha When i get the money im going to build a log truck. Just a standard long logger, maybe a quick change.

 

[MOUNTAIN MAN]

The one I'm getting is a pole logger, has a 3rd axle that steers, all made from copper and is FREE except for the axles, 4 each, he's also building me a 2 axle jeep for 10$.

I've been thinking about starting a Logging Dio,I've pretty much found all the Equipment I'll need.But I wanted to ask you guys if there is a 1.50 scale Yarder,or does anyone have a custom one?

There is guy I met selling parts on DHS that is scratch building a madill tower on a pacific P-16 carrier I think. I'll ask if I can post his pics and I will share them after the 21st when photobucket stops being a b hole about bandwidth. Anyways, his work looks amazing and he's coming right along on the tower build.

 

[HCF]

Nice! I think I need to get a couple bucks saved up for that. Haha. Sweet deal.

 

[MOUNTAIN MAN]

Yea, well, not the jeep anymore, and no axles come with it But, I'll just use the axles off my lowboy, or my belly dump when I get it.

 

[HCF]

That's ok though. Axles aren't too hard to find. Unless you want sword or first gear sets. Then it gets a little tricky.

 

[HITACHI350]

haha im makeing the trailer or i did make it hcf,i all so made a log set up for a sword t800w

 

[MOUNTAIN MAN]

Austin? And the Joal axles won't fit it, so the First Gear ones look great though.

 

[HITACHI350]

yes

 

[MOUNTAIN MAN]

yes

Ah ok, great to know your also on here. When will the trailer be shipped?

 

[Customization]

looks good there bud. looks like you spent lots of time on her welll keep up the collecting. i personally collect 1/32 scale

 

[HCF]

Customization: if you ever need any 1:32 new ray trucks for parts I'll ship them to you for like $5 plus shipping. For as many as can fit in a box. Just shoot me a PM if you're interested

 

[HITACHI350]

hey seen the velmet looks sweet, i have on as well there a great model, i apsalotly love the tracks and cab detial on it

 

[HCF]

Hands down, the best tracks and UC on any model I have. I wish ertl would put rock guards on the inside of their under carriages as well. Great model.

No doubt-also, they should put some more realistic detail as in correct boom lengths!

I agree with you 100%. Do you have one of the 959 models? I'm assuming the UCs are like the others, with the rock guards on the outside only and the tilt problems. I can't complain too much, nobody else makes a shovel model. I would love to see some madill link-belt or Komatsu stuff. Or any yarder. Maybe a stroke delimber. A guy can always dream.

I have the 909KH, ok model, more detail would be nice..madill will never have anything produced, not even the 3800C. I can dream by saying I'd love to see a thunderbird log loader..A yarder would be great, a trailer mounted one would be the most versatile, a skadill or Skagit would be so cool. A Komatsu anything new-whether it be a log loader is out of the question, the Valmer is a Komatsu so that's all they will make. What I really want- and I KNOW many others want one..a logging truck! Oh my gosh, if Sword made a T800W version pole logger they would sell so many. Madill's are ok but I'd rather have a different yarder. Trailer mounted like I said so anyone with a decent truck could buy it. Not to mention the fact that gravel guys would buy one and put pull buckets on them.

Thanks for reading, hope it gives some info-it was mainly a rant
