| Deutz powered Poclains were some of the first big hoes around here..most got converted to Detroit Diesels...and then needed a full time mechanic...and lots of hydraulic oil |

| No more reaching out for big wood anymore |

Well believe it or not...the owner of most of this gear is still working in the logging biz....lucky for me, he doesn't like to get rid of the old iron...some of the gear came from other contractors to the various bone yards
ReplyDeleteOld Disheveled machines but really beautiful photos actually. Don't just send them to the waste yard hey!
