Dennis Raper built this Mack RM600 logging truck from a Ralph Ratcliffe resin kit. He added a Dennis Aust logging trailer and front bumper, Alloy Forms headache rack, Herpa chassis and steering kit, photo-etched Plano mirrors, A-Line chain, and K&S treadplate on the bumper. Dennis also scratched out a toolbox, spare tire holder, a sledgehammer, and 20ton bottle jack mounted between the frame rails behind the cab.

The log loader is a Link-Belt that Dennis made from three Norscot Cat 315s. All of the cylinders work and operate correctly.The dozer is from Norscot. He moved the drive sprocket forward and built a boom and added a grapple from a Matchbox skid-dozer. The truck tractor was previously featured in Photo Gallery 444
