Here's 12212 in it's former life at Mactush, north side of Alberni Inlet. Camouflaged as an 123 by the ignorant poster
TorkelH I was happy to see you put a new video up the other day! Your channel is one of my favorites, great grapple videos of some real iron in the bush.
Has anyone looked at that 4800 yoder with the pullmaster drums for sale in Oregon? Think it has been for sale for almost a year now?
Might make it a point to stop and see it on my way up to Washington, but its a longgg way out of the way. Have always wanted to see one in person.
After running a carriage grapple on a harvestline for a year and a grapple yarder before that, i would have to say there is no real advantage to the motorized carriage unless you really like fixing broken carriages after bouncing them off the ground, they need a ton of lift can't drag it through the dirt to get a couple pieces from behind a hump etc.That cable grapple looks pretty quick and simple in this video. The carraige operated grapple seen in a previous post looked pretty slick to,but complicated .Are the carraige grapples any advantage? We used to build our own yarding grapples for the 044 s the company ran,liked to brag they were logger proof .

Did he bring it up to WA or still in OR? If you know. Its the only one ive personally seen in the US for sale. Figured not many of them got off the Island to begin with. I heard Dalhgrens had one out in Forks but that might had been a long while ago.
I'd believe it. 26k counterweight I think, something like 130k with no heal and just a grapple. Makes the new 'big' machines still look small.
I was always happy running my little 2850C on the sort and jamming logs through the 3800C when I could. Definitely cant imagine another 100hp past the 3800 and 50ft of reach - total juicer to say the least.
Would make a mean yoder for sure.

I think Surco logging has/had one too. Spingfield areaRice Logging in Eugene area has 2 or 3 of them, Jerry Debraie had one (burned) Tim Brown had one & sold it to Hampton Mills and Hampton had two others also.
He moved it in Oregon.
Are you kidding? nobody would use a motorizéd carriage with grapple on a running skyline?I agree! The running skyline system with a motorized grapple Carriage is the dumbest freaking thing I have ever seen. You have to run a standing Skyline system and have big lift and big horsepower to run them.
Thank you for liking my videos, even if they're starting to get quite old. Figured out it was time to settle, got married and got kids, and thus I haven't been travelling to the US for 7 years. The new video shows my friends mini running skyline yarder using synthetic rope for haulback and mains. This is not a Madill, but it was painted in Madill orange when my friend got it.TorkelH I was happy to see you put a new video up the other day!

Believe it or not there's some f'n morons that do.Are you kidding? nobody would use a motorizéd carriage with grapple on a running skyline?

That is horribly slow. Put the f'n skyline out and slack it down thru the frictions. Get some lift & send turns!!Alpine grapple with 171
Going to be feeding it with a machine on the hill i take it? That was one of my many issues with the harvestline I couldn't swing the machine to get the grapple to flip over a couple of feet to get the grapple on the wood.We signed papers for a DC Falcon claw grapple Carriage. We're going to run it off of a Skagit 737.
