Had a similar one myself,A Tillman with Scagit BU 50 drum set,neat little yarders.cheap to move,and run,but dont really have a presence any more, its all about production now.I believe these'Rosedale Ecologgers' were actually built in Rosedale ,B.C. years ago Eastern Fraser Valley,B.C.
This one is a real dandy and was owned by A-1 Logging at Yamhill Oregon in 2002. Seen here waiting on the cutters out of Dallas Oregon near Siletz somewhere out there in the Coastal hinterlands.
This was a really nice little machine. Wish I had taken more pics of her in those days. I ran across this machine often for awhile......
Love your pictures especially the ones in Alaska. About the time I started business [1975] had the chance to work there and passed it up makes me sad to see what I missed. Thanks for all the info someday would like to chat.
Well it was short-lived up here. USFS locked up the sales so in 1997 the 2 pulp mills closed for lack of reliable timber sales. 17 million acres of big old growth here doing nothing every day. Gorgeous to live-in/look at, but boy some mornings I just want to fire up a saw and start dumping these pig pipes! I have evrything I need to do it to- except the balls I guess. Yarders, shovels, trucks right here doing nothing.....
Not worth winding up in Federal Prison I guess. I've figured out how to stay in the $$$$ without working much, so 'so far so good'! A half-smart guy can still make alot more money up here working a few hours a week than the boys down south working in the mills and whatnot 12 hours a day. Trouble with Alaska is getting here is half the battle and staying is really expensive.
If it was the yellow one we had it when it first came up from down south was bought off Dave Button . Ended up being our introduction to haulers and a life saver in winter. Seen it out the back of Martinbourgh a couple of months ago
