155 & 355 are running skyline machines for MSP & Grapple use.What’s the difference from a TSY 155, 255 and a 355
A standing skyline is just that it is the skyline drum of the ardor which is the largest running line on a yard or held stationary in the air. It is generally run these days with a motorized carriage such as a Boman or an acme or an eagle. You can also use a conventional drift carriage on there and slack it down out in the brush set your chokers raise the skyline and pull the turn in but that does not get used very often anymore with the advent and popularity of motorized carriages.Hallback, if you have the time, could you tell us a bit about the terms you are using. I think I understand that a skyline is the line that supports the rigging which is suspended on it. I could be wrong. What is a running and standing skyline?
That is Hubster Logging out of Eatonville.We drove down to Astoria yesterday. On the return trip I spotted a big Thunderbird Swing machine working on high ground about half way between the bridge and Naselle. It was steep too.
Is there a specific skill set involved for the operator? Does that make for a busy yarder operator or does that depend on the brush crew?
Have to be alert & awake like any yarder engineer but also understand the logging method, pressures & watch 3 drums vs two.
Are there machines with more than three drums?
NZ TTY70 project with a bit of government money to grease the wheels, conversion etc around 7 minutes into the video (Ballpark costs are in the first half of the vid, multiply by 0.67? for US $equivalent at the time last year) Lobby DARPA to program the Atlas robot to run a chainsaw for defense purposes?
We just purchased that yarder it made its way back to oregon when wayne vandam at acme carriages brought it back to sell4036
4036 in La Trobe Valley, Victoria in 1996, then owned by Tim Christian. As I recall, it came with a 50 foot tower. Can I ask who owns it now.
