Because Haulback asked a question in another thread, I was perusing some old books I had. In Contract Loggers 1972 there is a full page ad for a Madill type 062 three drum yarder. It is advertised as an "all new interlock yarder." the ad continues on, stating that it would soon be working on Oregon's old growth fir by mid October 1972.
I have never seen one, and I cannot find any reference to an 062 in this thread. What was it, did it morph into something else or was it a bust? Somebody out there knows.
Trying it again
Trying it again
That is awesome!
Wonder if this is a mis-print for the 052?
Also great find.
So going back to the 062 issue.
Many, many years ago, when I was much younger and still had hair, I was working for Interfor at Cleagh Creek. I'm thinking about 1994-95.
The company decided that they wanted to resurrect a 046 that was on a trailer. I believe it was an old Fletcher Challenge machine that was from the Midcoast region.
We needed it to be self mobile so Madill found an old machine up in Alaska somewhere that was on a rubber tired carrier.
I am not sure of what the Model number of the machine was but I think it was pretty much a one off.
I don't know too much about the winch, but I do remember that it was an interloc machine. I think that it had oil cooled clutches and it had a big ole cat for power, might have been a V-12.
I never saw the winch whole. As with lots of old logging iron back then, no one wanted it so it was cut up for scrap.
My memory has faded a bit over time but I seem to remember that the carrier was a bit heavier than what was usually under a 009. Madill had to do a bit of engineering and repairs to get the carrier up to standards to pack the 046, but not that much.
I left Interfor before I ever saw the 046 pull in a single stick of wood, never heard how it worked out.
So, I don't know if i have cleared anything up, or just added to the mystery. Could this have been the 062?
But I do know that I would have loved to have seen the machine whole before it was cut up for scrap.

Furpo,here in BC there is a site for viewing cameras on cruise ships. Looking at on today. Ship is tied up at Napier. NZ. In the background is what appears to be many many cubic meters of decked logs. Is this correct? Logs going for export? BpWonder if this is a mis-print for the 052?

I'm pretty sure that may be a one and only if it had a Madill pipe on it . It was bought new for by BCFP Caycuse Div. . After Fletcher Challenge took over and joined Renfrew & Caycuse Division's to create Honeymoon Bay Division (HBO) , that Madill 046 Slackline Tower was sold off with some other surplus equipment around 1993-94 . There may have been another Madill 046 mounted on a trailer at Caycuse but it was made out of some parts from a View Spar , and was put together in Caycuse shop .So going back to the 062 issue.
