John Deere Logging Skidder - By Dennis Raper


Here are a couple of photos of a model of a John Deere skidder from Dennis Raper built from a Resin Unlimited kit. Dennis painted it to match the current colors used by John Deere. He made the boom and grapple considerably smaller, as the Resin Unlimited version is way too large. Dennis also reworked the front axle into an "oscillating" axle to give the skidder its "suspension". The decals are from a friend.
