This was at the last Prince George auction, it's a '92.
trackloader has some interesting info on it, this is what he had said on the same photo when I had posted on Facebook
"Cypress originated those machines before buying out Madill. They put the Madill name on them after the takeover because Madill was the better known name."
Tell me what you think about it, it had sold for $21,500CDN

Self explainable.

Anyone please have info on this through the S#?

johnson · Aug 3, 2012

I don't have any info info on this through the S# but if that plate is of the 071 it ain't right they they quit making them long before 1994,1984 is when they quit making the,and the serial number isn't right 071 S# start with 70 and i didn't find a model that has a S# that starts with 14

.Which model/machine did you take that builders plate picture on?

KW850&T800H · Aug 3, 2012

I'm sure the pictures are switched, I think that plate is actually off the 009 beside it.

johnson · Aug 4, 2012

No they stopped making 009 in 1983 I think the plate is either from a 171,120 or a 075.Here's a list of models,manufacture dates and S#:

A couple of thoughts - of the three yarders in the pic, the plate has to relate to the small one on the left. Now I remember hearing something around that time that Madill produced some small yarders of which a few were exported to South America although why it's not on the #list is baffling.
Notwithstanding the colour and the plate, it also looks very much like a TY 40.

johnson · Aug 5, 2012

To me it looks more like a skider mounted yarder than a TY-40.

The TY 40 was a skidder mount as against the TMY 40 which you are probably thinking of.

johnson · Aug 6, 2012

I know the TY 40 was a skidder mount but this machine has a different style operator cab,when I said a skidder mounted yarder I meant a Madill skidder mounted yarder.I saw a couple pictures of them but I can't remember the model,and in the picture you can see only one corner of the machine.

furpo · Aug 6, 2012

Just repeating DD. Madill made a skidder mounted small yarder which was a 1400. The build plate is off that.

I spied with my little eye.............a brand new red buncher.

pics will follow. I didnt even know they had made any yet!

Madill Swing Yarder in Mining??

Hey everyone, I've been perusing this forum for a while now. Recently I came across a need for a yarder to excavate overburden in a surface mining application. I've seen on this site a few pictures of tower yarders and swing yarders being employed in gravel/sand pit dredging applications. I was wondering if anyone has any information or pictures on using a swing yarder in mining/excavation?

Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated!
