Caterpillar power to the rescue !

[John Gaunt]

When the combined power of a 100Hp New Holland 4wd tractor and Sanderson Teleporter were not enough to grub out a pine tree, caterpillar power was resorted to in the form of my trusty 70 year old D7 7M. The 80dhp machine pulled out the tree without breaking sweat !

Man you guys are brave with them chains. Here in western USA every thing pulled with a crawler requires Cable have seen too many chains walked right thru and chain links make good bullets so please be carefull

Yeah, it's Ok though - that chain has a test certificate. Valid for the year 1946 probably!!

Well i don't know , i think i would prefer dodging chain links than a wire rope whipping back at me . Years ago watched my dad on a cat d68u clearing a steep hill under a power line .He would push down the hill ,then winch the dozer back up again The chain round the anchor tree stump broke and sent the winchrope straight back at the dozer. He ducked down behind the fuel tank and the wirerope came through the canopy and took the exhaust stack out . ian.

Is that chain actually 3 joined together?

[John Gaunt]

Yep, it's three joined together. We didn't have a single chain long enough for the job.
