Im tossing around the idea of making a small log skidder, basicly a scaled down version of a jd540 or cat 518. Something in the 40 -50 hp range. Im thinking of making something cheap to do eco logging. Im thinking of making it out of smaller old tractors. Im thinking of getting two equal rearends with tires, trannies. some how putting them together and have articulated steering, Have the engine mounted over top of one rear end, some how having the power from the engine going to the tranny by chain. The other rearend would be the driver's platfrom and winch/logging arch attatched to it. I guess the rear axle would be powered by the pto shaft of the first axle, some how?? Its just a wild idea in my brain now, Has any one ever tried to tackle a job like this?? I can't be the first one to think up this idea. Ive seen scaled down models of Steiger Tigers But im going for something that will handle skidding a 40 ft log out of the bush. Any thoughts
