Cable Logging on a small scale

Using a smal scale skyline setup to haul firewood up a slope past tree stumps, brush and boulders. This setup freed up the pulling power of the winch to be used for the load rather than plowing through the ground and tree debris. We added some extra weight to the carriage so it would travel downhill instead of the pull rope being lowered. The time setting this up was worth it and saved us both energy and frustration. Span 18m, heaviest load approximately 250 kg.

Super nice and clever setup!

Thanks! It is a great method with minimal equipment but requires certain things of the site like trees for anchoring and a sufficient slope down from the landing.

Your stump was way to high you should of cut lower & that’s not how we do are cuts in west coast Canada I also could of pulled that tree out of that spot with my ford truck but your system would work good me & clever old logger moved a 1200 pound burl out 300 feet up a bank with a system like that we rigged up
If you had a stump like that hear you would not have a job tho

[@HubertofLiege]

Maybe he wanted some lift

[@MAGACANADIAN]

@@HubertofLiege ok I just sed we did that on a burl with cables this product is a wast of money
& your stump is still to high buddy
& why ? Just make a pole truck out of a old ford then that would be cheaper way more practical
Why did you leave a high stump you never answered that

[@HubertofLiege]

@@MAGACANADIAN it’s a novelty video, someone not being serious just figuring out how to get his firewood up the hill. Obviously he has some experience in logging, or watched a few RUclips tutorials, and used what he had to get it done. Who knows why he high stumped that tree, maybe there is a purpose other than just cutting it down. I thought it was smart and interesting.

I didn't see, but maybe the high stump is his tail hold. If you know anything about cable yarding, I would know why. Source:hooked and rigged highlead and skyline shows. 44 years in the logging industry.

@@nobodythatyouknow241 ya maybe that’s not what I seen sir & if your defending that awful falling & those hi stumps you sir do not have 40 years in a logging Business besides those stumps have nothing to do with that rigging 40 years my ass
