How is your new toy running? Any problems with it or was it ready for work?
There is nothing better than new equipment, it is like being a kid at christmas.

I was Forestry rep for Clark back in the 80's, brings back memories. I do have some tech manuals if you have any questions. I see that you had a 668 so you probably are pretty well up on how they work. Good luck with the new toy.

Its actually in decent shape all around!
Had it hauled from the lot where it was purchased direct to the site and put it to work the same day, 2 days into the job i busted the grapple swivel off... Weird feeling when you see your grapple still around the drag 10' from the back of the machine but it was a simple enough repair.

My only real dislike is the roller position inside the arch for the winch, unless you have the grapple on the ground you will cut your cable on the guide bar so remember to back in off center to anything you need to line and keep the grapple low!
