I have 1010 gas in line that I'm waiting to get my hands on. I'm looking for something to skid wood out in the winter. Someone told me that it would be too light to pull in the snow a 350 diesel would heavier and better
So my question is, Is there much weight difference between a 1010gas and a 350diesel?
1010 vs 350
skidden with a 350 or a 1010?
I don t know about down there but I have owned both machines and I would say nither Find a good old 450 for this job preferably with a winch and a log arch[just drag the back tips it s a lot easyer] You won t get enough wood dragraged out to make it worth your time with a 350 or a 1010 dozer and a crauler loader is even worse If it is not on single grouser tracks I have a 350 B wide track and it is not that great in snow either[go any where by it s self but to pull a couple hundred board feet of log forget it!]The winter is the time to do this job though I guess if it is all you have got they will work and a 350 dozer would be my answer We have some 350 gasers up here they start nicer in the cold 50% of those three cylender diesels do not start or just might start in the cold the wide track starts nice though And I have left my old 450B-C and Gs out for three weeks at minus 30 and no problem to start any of them Like I said just drag the tips and keep the mud off the log it will kick the hell out of the saw chains and the saw blades if you don t Yes I log during the winter months up here but only use dozer for the landings and log roads and timber jacks for the rest Got any questions just ask!
