Thought since we have been posting the truck side of logging , that I would post a few pics from the other side of the industry, the equipment.  Wagner setting at Smith River  Link Belt, Coos Trucking, Coos Bay, Oregon  The ruler of the mill, the Latournue, Coos Trucking, Coos Bay, Oregon  Madill Pole yarder, Built on an M-4 Sherman Tank Chassis, Shaffer Logging, Norway, Oregon  Cat 988 loader, Smith River, Oregon  Light weight Cat Excavator, Smith River, Oregon  Old American Cable Shovel and Cat 518 Skidder, Coos Bay , Oregon For those of you wondering how they load the trailer on a Western style logging truck, when a loader is not available, The following picture is of a straddle trailer loader, taken at Smith River, Oregon. This type of loader will work on long loggers and Mule trains (Short Loggers).  Hope you enjoy. |

This is my son loading a parade load in 07 out of Chehalis, WA  Hosted on FotkiHauling the Link Belt to a job in Morton, WA 2011  Hosted on FotkiIf you know these machines you will realize that the boom is for an excavator. This has a quick change from a bucket and thumb to grapples.  Hosted on FotkiThis tree is about 36 inches at the butt and the feller uses a Humbolt under cut. It is the opposite of what we use to do. The angled face would have been cut down to the straight cut.  Hosted on FotkiJust a normal day. This job was all shovel logged.  Hosted on FotkiMike |

Cool shots there mike. That Humboldt cut was developed for Redwood. Saved a lot of time for the buckers, by not having to square up the Butts. Also kept the tree from, jumping on the stump when it went down.

Wagner and LeTourneau were or are quite the machines but vastly different. The Wagner is run on hydralics while the LeTourneau has electric servos to operate.

Mike Which is exactly why I want to model BOTH. RG LeTourneu was so against using hydraulics, every action on his early equipment was rack & pionon if one form or another. Ap40 |

Mike Which is exactly why I want to model BOTH. RG LeTourneu was so against using hydraulics, every action on his early equipment was rack & pionon if one form or another. Ap40 Letourneu was also teamed with Cat during and after ww2 and built all the equipment attachments for Cat blades, srappers, ect.. They broke the marriage after the war and both moved their differnet ways producing equipment not only for the logging Industry but others. One thing about the Wagner unit is since it was built tricycle style, where the center of the turning wheels in the back was located, there was an arrow which was attached to the top of the turning spindle and protruded above the top deck which told the Operator which way the wheels were turned, right or left. I have walk around photos of both these units as they will eventually be added to my logging model collection. |
