- this is the first part of a older video related to yarding logs with the new camera.
it recorded 35 minutes and reset.
and recorded the 2nd part of just in the landing.
this part is the hole trip up and down the hill for a turn of logs.
Very cool! Looks like that yarder could go through anything!!👍💪
Yeah there very good small scale skidders. Being around 8,000lbs really gives it a major advantage over a tractor. In the new market. But you can still move it legal with a pickup truck. Only it requires a deck over trailer as it's close to the 102" legal limit for public roads with no permits.
i had a small hard wood job once, and it handled that stuff like that was its purpose in life, was moving 3 35ish foot alders at once on mostly flat or down hill land. Alder is Neary 5,000lb per cord green..
there really is nothing out there like it being made.
.
It's a gerrett 15
There is a smaller 10 they made as well.
There is also a very rare loader version of a 15 as well. We have one of about 200 made.
And yes its basically capable of going just about anywhere but a liquid mud hole deeper then it is high.
one point in the video with no logs I'm climbing a near 25 degree slope on dirt, no rock.
"((The engine is identical to what you find in a ford 9N,8N,2N tractor so mabe close to 40hp at 172ci.))"
.
I estimated its gear reduction in super low once, came up with something around 175 to 1 in lowest gear LOL.
when you have traction and gearing, you don't need much hp, LOL.
Super cool, grandad had a Garrett 15 with log forks and bucket. Traded it in for a brand new 25 model in 1972.
The front end loader version of a 15?
Supposedly only 200 or so where made.
We have one as well, but needs some serious care to get running.
.
Also have a 15 diesel.
Same ford 172ci engine, but has a injection pump stuck in the distributor hole lol.
Burns half the fuel of the gas version.
