Which cat are we talking about? The two year old's kitten, or a crawler by another name?

The Caterpillar Tracked Skidder; I don't care much for the living cat as all he catches is a daily nap, and in one year here has never caught a mouse.

I was curious as to the differences between a bulldozer set up to do logging and a tracked skidder, but in watching the video it is hard to compare them. Grapple skidders slam the operators around so much more compared to cabled ones anyway, and the tracked skidder is a high-track machine. It did look like a smoother ride, but not by much.

I have no intention of traveling to my grave in a well manicured body; instead I am going to slide into heaven with a big power turn, totally wore out with busted knuckles, jump off my dozer loudly yelling, Woo Hoo, another Shepard has just arrived!
