Hi Jim Its a logging yarder. If you ever watch that History Channel show Axmen, Mike Pihl Logging uses these. They are a small mobile yarder. About 11 minutes in to this video, you'll see them in action. Just cut and paste the link, its a Sales video from 1983 by Madill about all of their yarders, its really interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-VTTmnAtlsCheers: Bill |

No, I've never watched Axmen, and I don't have the History Channel anymore.
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

your not missing anything by not seeing it, its a joke. Makes loggers look like morons.

So, if I understand this correctly, a yarder moves the logs from one part of the job site to another.

yeah they hook big loops of wires around the logs called chokers. then the yarder will use its winches and lines that run up through its tower to bring them in the air. some yarder's lines go out over a half mile to a tail hold tree.
