Neat. Looks like it would be pretty easy to derail, though.
Makes me glad I only do ground based logging.Yes, and the Maki carriage did go shooting off while being sent back down the hill. The yarder engineer needs to remember to slow the carriage down when going over the jack.
No skidders allowed on Weyerhaeuser either.How can a judge order land to not have a skidder?
I'm glad we don't have all sorts of rules like that here.

Been that way for a while over here lots of shovel logging if ground and weather permit otherwise it's track skidder.That must be new. A friend contracted with Wire houser for years. They had 2 648s and a 748.
When we asked the only skidder running on their ground here is track or the tigercat with rear bogies. My guess is the tear up from years before.None? Under any circumstances? Why?
No one said they were brilliant, my guess is they'll start limiting shovel size and weight next with the wood getting smaller.I can't imagine that the mass of a shovel causes less net soil disturbance due to compaction than a rubber-tired skidder does through agitation. That seems a really arbitrary rule.

If they don't have them at the state level they'll be coming one day just give it time and maybe some of the eco freaks will leave here.Because it is federal land and an enviro group sued. One of the main complaints was ground disturbance, so it was either use skyline or helicopter or stay out. I bet you do, or will have such "rules" like that if you have timber sales on federal land.

Not to worry, they've turned it into a rock pit.
