We had a timber sale audit today. Some photos of our Small operator's equipment etc. There's some nice wood in the unit.

The most frequently-used method is known as 'shovel logging', also called 'mat logging'. This method of logging integrates the use of multiple machines mounted upon crawler tracks in tandem with machines that are mounted on extra-wide or dual-rubber tires.

In conversation, over beers at the pub, the term is often arbitrary.

Some folks call it loader logging but we always call the log loader a "shovel" around here. On cutting units where the soils aren't too wet or steep (less than 35 percent) we often allow the shovel to go into the unit and essentially leapfrog the logs back to the haul road. I'll try to get some video to better illustrate.
