My dad and his partner had an SJ4 working down the Klamath River sometime around the late 1950's. It was a combination short range yarder/loader. As I recall it was designed to yard about 600 feet. They didn't have it very long and I only have a few B&W photos of it taken on a landing, nothing showing it bringing in a turn, or loading
Hey you should come to the Boise area and interview a guy name Brent Neddo he lives in Kuna. He was friends with my father he’s a old logger that lost both of his legs logging and still ran a loader for years
Seriously! It’s so awesome that you’re able to track down these historical machines!
Thank you. Pretty happy to find em. Mostly just catches my eye as I’m traveling around .

I cut for a SJ4 many years ago. IIRC we used a shotgun carriage. And grapples to load with
Nice .
