    Butler Brothers logging trucks

    Good luck! Hope you at least are able to go through the archive and save the interesting parts, as well as the cab and other salvageable remains!

    Skagit Iron and Steel Works, Sedro Wooley, Washington

    Looks like the mainline constantly will wear on the tires around the block that is inside them? Using the utility line to separate main from wrapping around sky maybe needed a double line due to small line diameter, (or just the block purchase?), that way it is easy to adjust the distance...

    BC logging equipment left to rust

    Wow, a Skagit BU-99, from what I am able to see. Not too many of them around anymore, I only know about two at Sterling Breen Crushing in Centralia, WA and one at Wayne Stone Logging.

    O71 tank undercarriage breakdown

    You could of course mount it on a Volvo A25 or A35 like I did with one of my Owren yarders. You would though probably loose the ability to move with tower up at the landing, on the positive you get a very movable machine at logging roads...

    Probably a much too late reply, but Murk100 (on HEF) would be a good source!

    Falcon seem to be an ambitious hi-tech company, I remember professor Rien Visser from NZ presenting their grapple carriage on a forest engineering symposium here in Norway in 2013.

    O71 tank undercarriage breakdown

    Paint your 071 green and maybe it gets the impression of having a Terex u/c! At least may people with a tailhold perspective think so.

    British Columbia Forest Products Ltd.

    Wyssen Seilbahnen AG is a family driven company in Switzerland. As other Swiss companies they are seemingly conservative in their main product line; sleigh winches and carriages, but the product line has undergone continiously and substantial technical improvements over the years. Their products...

    S. Madill, Blacksmith, Founded in 1911 in Nanaimo BC

    Myself in front of 88025 11 years ago. Probably not too many that could find use for an 144 any more. Lowest price of all swing yarders on the used marked for one of the most productive and rugged machines ever built. On the oter hand it will force major upgrading of roads in addition to very...
