I was told that if you live and work with enough hills that the diesel machine with tracks is a better way to go.

I am shopping for my mini and came across a demo model boxer 322D with 50 hours on it for 9.

my question is are these cheaper boxers to good to be true .. and is there any clear reasons to just go new for just over 10 000 or snatch the demo'd unit

Brendon,

How much did the capstan set you back?

That was the only one like that made. You'd have to talk to Dave to see if they can be made like that still. Currently I think he puts them on their own mounting plate.

worked the other day with a dutch made skidsteer.

works nice and I'm saving now for one
it's a lot easier to remove wood and branches and saves your back. To bad the dealer/manufacturer hasn't got a grapple hook yet. But after my work on the directors trees they are having one made as we speak. Can't wait for the results....

you don't see them so much around here.

enjoy the vid

I was a bit enthousiast with the raker (depth gage) off the chain the day before, cutting a lot off popular trees, wich made sawing these Abies grandis a bit off a struggle.... ;-)
