I am loving this! Thanks to you guys for taking the time to post all of your awesome pictures. I grew up around logging but have never been exposed to machines the size of the ones your posting. A 300 log shovel, a 748 JD skidder or a 528 Cat, a GT3 Skagit or 98 Link Belt yarder is about the biggest things we get to see here in North Idaho.
Keep it up!!:drinkup

Great pics trakloader and contract logger. I knew the island logging was big iron and wood, but good lord that is some heavy stuff. I am now convinced that Vancover Island is where logger heaven should be if isn't already.

I like the picture of the cable loader with one track 2-3' in the air lifting a log. And is it just my imagination or is that hitachi roadbuilder a 650?
