I thought it'd be fun to see what logging equipment you all use. So ill start. Below is our newest addition, a 2015 KMC 2500 track skidder. Next is my first machine, a 1985 Treefarmer C5D cable machine with a screamin' 3-53 and lastly our 2005 Peterbilt 379 with a 600 Horse Cat, 18spd and Prentice 124 built by Hubler Bros. in PA.

Now lets see what y'all have.

don't mean to be nitpicky, but looks like 378 [short, sloped hood, unless its been changed] to me.

Nope, it's surely a 379.. The 379 was available with a long nose or a short nose. This is a 379 short nose. There are actually quite a few differences between the 378 and 379 short nose. Even though they look similar to most they are not the same. One example is the 378 has a fiberglass hood, the 379 is aluminum. The 379 has rivets on the hood and the 378 does not. There are also differences between the cabs, exhaust and battery boxes to name a few.

@Coltont Now that doesn't look like a good day! When and how did that happen? Everyone alright I hope?

 

[Coltont]

All's well. The boss/ owner of the company did it. Tried to turn and was hot dogging to much. Hit a big red oak stump with his high side tire and that's it.

How many cords here? I'd say 80 cords or 50,000 bf at least.

I think the pic is for real, you can tell by the way it was loaded.
If I'm correct the truck is a Pacific. Looks like western red cedar, but may me junglewood.

Not sure about the one pictured, but some Pacifics came with a Cummins 400 Big Cam.

Well now you have! It helps keep the front end down pulling steep grades with a hitch. It also helps to keep more track on the ground too. It works excellent, I think it was a great idea having it drive from the front..

Yeah it makes sense, is the motor in there with the drive end facing forward I suppose???
