Nice enough way to yard. They run the carriage on a slack line which means that second growth back toward the tail hold is going to take a beating. Not sure the land owner will be too happy about that unless it's all owned by the same entity. Even so they can't be too happy about a portion, even a small one, of their future crop getting thrashed.
It’s not how tall the spar is; it’s about deflection/lift that counts. Light rigging and small 3rd or 4th growth timber fell into lead. Pretty cool logging!
Problem with that machine is can only use 3/4" line and the carriage weighs 3000lbs, to much for a machine that only has 20,000 pounds of line pull. A regular 3/4" line machine has way more line pull somewhere around 50,000 to 70,000lbs. Not all settings have ideal lift.
its not ideal, you could use it for short distances, say under 200' but a skidder or forwarder would be faster. yarder/yoders need hills and distance to make em worth the extra cost.
Awesome video, I need one of these 👌👌 . What a machine. EMS wanna sponsor me??😂😂

This is awesome.
Buen video ¿como se llama la canción ?
Great video!!! Very cool!
Great video. It may get more views if you title it grapple yarder?

Very cool stuff!
How do they anchor the other side of the line and does it move with the machine?
Was this stand cut with a teathered machine?
How well would this setup work on flat ground?

Thats some major hang. I would not wanna be the hook tender on that. Alot of haywire. Unless they used a helicopter
I can't place where you are. Back side of Capitol Peak?
How do they string the cable?
That's my question. The other end looks like it's tethered to another machine.
A guy on the ground drags a smaller cable called haywire. Then the haywire is used to pull the larger cable across the canyon...
@@tymbom60 or they connect it to another machine and if possible walk the other machine around the back and anchor it into the ground
