It is a 1990 model TSY 155. It has a 55 foot boom it has Detroit 8V-71 T power and an Allison Transmission. It is setup to run MSP running skyline or grapplw yard. It is not designed for standing Skyline yarding in its current configuration.

Me too. I hate buying used equipment but realistically we don't have any other options for yarders unless you want to spend a million and a half.

Is the TSY 155 headed to the shop for at least a check over before being hauled into the woods?

Does anybody here have any information on a 155 or ever worked around one? I cannot find any information on one or anybody that has worked on one.

I have a couple of contacts down here who are grapple yardering with the 155 and I am running a 255.

You will love grapple yardering.
