Retrieving abandoned logging equipment from the woods

[moparcarguy]

Looks like the bucket mounts on my 955H. Spacing looks the same, too. Cat had log grapples for the 955, so in figures there would be other makers. Cool find.

need buy high pressure hose for cylinder

[mholm09]

I don't understand the point in complaining about the way they pulled it out, it's already out. If it were me though I would have hooked high to break it loose, then hooked low to pull it back, but I wasn't there so oh well. Nice find!

[outlawracer2229]

I have spent time around heavy equipment. I would have hooked it to the blade and brought it out off the ground unless I was going for scrap metal.

DAMN ; DRUG IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT; LOL

[MrJoebud420]

awesome some people really dont ha a clue do they as yes i would scrap that bitch YEA! but that is a hell of a find

[imthatguy223]

[73Shakes]

Cool find

[Dustinnix87]

I just wonder why they had to leave it behind like that?

[rnrdavelive]

your the man someone else would just let it rot

[nealss13]

I know its easy to pick holes in anyones story on the tube but really a log claw from a dozer? Na i dont think so. Thanks for showing what you got though.

@SPACECADET2U You're not around heavy equipment much are you son? LoL!

[SPACECADET2U]

@acme663ryo Any operator worth half his salt would have chained it to the dozer blade & carried it out facing forward - like it is meant to be on a loader. You are also clueless about my knowledge of and experience with heavy equipment. Feel free to quiz away sir.

[acme663ryo]

@SPACECADET2U Where do you find the time with all your video trolling to do anything?  Leave the equipment to the menfolk.

[SPACECADET2U]

@acme663ryo OMG I just saw some of your other masterpieces! I especially like the one where you drag the logs onto the trailer with the dozer............. FYI I'm on my iphone and my 385 BL Cat with mass boom waiting for the next MT4400 to return. You are really keeping me entertained today!

[mutantroosta]

@acme663ryo yeah seriously, if dragging it through the mud like that did any damage the thing wouldnt survive being used for what it was made for.. some people have no clue..

[SPACECADET2U]

@mutantroosta Um yes, or the fact that it sat in the woods for 20 years, protected from people who have no clue could possibly have something to do with the fact that it survived or did survive until it was dragged out upside down on the cylinder. But I forgot, you are one of those people who have no clue..sorry to waste your time and brain power to try to read this. You should probably go take a nap to regain your strength.

[mutantroosta]

@SPACECADET2U your the one with no clue the forces put on it from dragging it like that are alot less than the forces it gets put on it when its being used to lift the logs it is designed for

[ridinhonda4life]

[SeberHusky]

It's nice that there's people out there that still care about this old stuff, and dont leave it to rot.

[0504sydney]

that's one way to get it out

[scootabk]

Ahhh cheers, was wondering where I left that :)

[mts0628]

Is this in Yelm?

[acme663ryo]

@mts0628 Outside of Olympia WA.

[highcountrytimber]

This looks like one off a front end loader.

[starguard]

I wonder was that really left there on purpose
