    Yup, pretty big! 44 tonne gross, 6 axles, walking floor, 125 m3 capacity. The company that runs them has over 300 on the road...

    Small Cable Yarder

    Is it the store at Byholme?(sp) I had a friend who took his timber truck out there to assist with the haulage. I visited a similar storage in Jonkoping back in '96.

    Small Cable Yarder

    I've done plenty of steep slopes here in the mountains;) the problem with flat ground is the deflection works against you. Mind you, the tower is only 24ft - I would prefer a 40ft tower really. The winches are clutch driven off the same shaft, haul in has 400 yards of cable and a 5 yard per...

    Small Cable Yarder

    Ok, I know its tiny compared to the big madill's and SyncroFalkes, but I just bought a small trailed yarder for working nature reserves. Arb work is really slow with the current economic climate, but we have lots of work felling birch and pine and clearing them off special nature reserves in our...
