Extracting a Timberjack from the _______! “Kerby said that he’d gotten his Timberjack buried in some __________ the day before” Trapper says, “He asked me if he could haul my Skidder down and help pull him out.” He continued, “I got in front of it and we hooked up. It was a tough pull. The rear tires on the Timberjack were almost bald. We broke three cables before we eventually pulled it to higher ground.” Though they had cleaned most of the __________ off, a clod of _________ had been missed in the joints of the articulated skidder and had subsequently destroyed the driveshaft. The old Detroit smokes just a little on startup... A view from the rear... The little 440 is doing its stuff, at this point the front wheels are on more or less dry land... The hole where once a Timberjack laid... Kirby proudly tells of a logger walking into the DNR office a few days later to get a Tamarac cutting permit, however the DNR official refused him, saying that the ground wasn't frozen yet. At that point, the fellow said, "That d__n Eidsmoe, he ruins it for everyone!" Another one for the annals of the Southwest Angle. |
