Your guy wouldn't happen to be Rocky Mountain Wood, would it? They had one on our subdivision, it sure got the job done even when the Hydro-Ax was still clearing the road out for it.

That is one good pic there, sure shows how good of a machine they are. They were sure built to last out in the woods.

That might leave a mark when that Cat looses its grip on the log.

Thoes TC skidders are nice. But I have a problem with that picture. The arch on the Cat is all the way up as high as it can go. The TCs is down a lot lower. Big leverage diffrence there.

I bet that picture could have been staged to go either way. Put the Cat arch low, and TC arch high, opposite outcome.

I want to see the pic a few seconds after that one, as it looks like the Cat grapple is nearly off the end of the log. Hope the operator has his belt tight.

i saw my uncle have a JD cable skidder up in the air like that pulling a tree and then the choker broke... I had no idea that a skidder could bounce that high
