2021 Logging - Part 4

This machine - again operated by a single individual - is a 'Forwarder'.  

 

This is a forestry vehicle that can load and transport logs by itself. It has the unique capability of picking up logs on the site and loading its trailer bed for easy transportation for stacking at the 'Landing'.         

Manned by one operator it is used to fetch and load bolts from the logging operation and deliver and stack them at the ‘landing’.     

Amazing to my eyes how logging has become mechanized to such an extent that it has become virtually a one person operation.        

There is also a stack of 8-9 cords of ash bolts for our own personal use as firewood to supplement our winter heating and outdoor wood-fired oven needs.      

There is most definitely a log splitter in our future……
