Loggin' Kioti Style

williekioti · Nov 3, 2006

A few pics moving some wood around. One must be real careful to have the load balanced on the forks, especially on broken ground. The big one was a little unnerving moving over a couple of dips, hand never left the loader control and my right foot hovered over the clutch just in case. It was all good once on firm ground. The next attachment for my "wish list" is a 3pt skidding winch setup, it would help ballast when carrying the wood as well as reaching out with the cable. As apposed to backing up to everything. the last picture is forwarding down my road with a log from the header to my yard where it will be sawn tomorrow.

Morning willie.
Nice setup you got there...by the looks of your right front tire in the first pic thats one healthy log.

With the size of that log in the first picture, I thought your tractor was a new 45. I didn't think my 30 like yours was capable of that. Or is that a llittle trick photography.

That Woods is a strong looking loader and with a good set of forks too! I can't see any cracks from here.

If things don't work out well with my KL-130 I might have to consider that combination. Nice pictures too

Thanks for sharing.

You gonna mill that?

Sure would look nic on our mill.

Great pics! That looks like fun. Did you say your "right foot was hovering over the clutch"? Is it on the opposite side of the CK20's that have it on the left side (sitting on the tractor)?

albmn10, Nice pictures as well. The backhoe is a good-looking unit as well. I sure wish that the KB2375 had that as an option instead of a third party retrofit. That rig looks like a real workhorse.

All these pictures are making me long for spring already.

Oh well, only five or so months to go.

Dmace, oops, you are correct. That would have been my "left" foot, otherwise it could have been REAL bad had I stabbed the brake instead of the clutch.:O Rest assured it was a typo, I definitely know which pedals need pushing when in situations like that, I hope.

And yes that first log "was" all there, no trick. I say was because it is now a whole bunch 1"x12"s and assorted other boards as of this afternoon. The loaded rear tires help muckling loads like that, but there are times I wish I had the extra balast of a skid plate/winch back there.

I'll try to get some pics of the milling operation tomorrow, still have a few logs left...

Album, nice pics of your beast, but I wish you'd quit showing off that 80X BH. That thing is hot! Looked at one in back of Rodick's shop two weeks ago with drool running down my chin.
