Think it could load out that big tree in the background?

Seems like a waste. But not everybody gets sub zero to keep the logging roads in good shape. It puts another step in the operation. If you can skid to a truck, you might as well put the logs on a truck you can put on the highway. Although if your only hauling junk to a chipper, this could work.

These are much less disruptive to forests and undergrowth. The tree is delimbed and cut to lengths where it falls, This type of forwarder picks them up and carries not drags them to the site where they can be loaded on highway trucks. This can also save haveing to have a loader on the highway truck as it can transfer logs directly to truck.

I guess it's more the geography of your operation. The DEC in NY dictate where and what you can cut, especially if your working the Adirondack Park. You wouldn't be able to use that beauty to get anywhere near the cutting. My Uncle's outfit cruises and builds a road into the center during summer, cuts in the late fall and when the forest floor freezes they start skidding to the center loading area where there's a 1950's dedicated loader to fill the trucks. Actually a very low impact and clean operation. Usually after a year, you can't hardly tell they were there.

When you say skidding, do you mean dragging full lenth trees on the ground? If so. on our property that does more damage than cut to lenth harvesting. what we like best about cut to lenth is the lack of brush piles (limbs) on the landing.

Log bunk/wagon/trnasporter????? See ads in Sawmill-Woodlot Management magazine for trailer mounted units, but the pictures always show them loaded with what I consider "poles"; never have seen a decent "log" on one..... ...

My dad has a metavik (sp) forwarder that he loves, he's be able to load some really large logs, 350 bf+. Now these loaders don't have the power of truck mounted loaders but his works well.
