That beast looks very experienced. ;D

A few pics of the current job we are on.   Harvester working in an area heavy dominated by cedar and spruce.

 

Porter cleaning up area.  Notice the larger hardwood logs and pulpwood that was cut with a powersaw as they were quite large for the harvester to deal with.

 

Load of tree length cedar.  Notice that this trucker has his self loader attached to the side of his trailer.  Only set-up I have ever seen like that. 

 

Couple of loads of hardwood pulp headed to the mill that is less than 20 miles away.  Harvester is headed to the fuel trailer.

Looks good. I have never seen a self loader on the side like that. Could you please get a picture on the other side?

I've never heard of a loader mounted that way, either.

I've never seen a side mount either, but it looks like an innovative way to solve a problem.

 ??? That load would get him pulled over here.

I think it is all white cedar, I don't know if you can fit enough on to be overweight.

I've seen sideloaders before on B trains for 8 ft pulp an d they were detachable.They would leave them at the site too reduce weight.That was 15 years ago,haven't seen one since,probably more trouble than they were worth I'm thinking.

Folks
Only way he can load shortwood or treelength and take the loader with the load. It is also the first time that I have seen such a setup

I'll try to get a pic today of the side mounted loader if he shows like he is supposed to.  Our truck had the front differential blow apart last Thursday so our landings are getting full.

That load only weighed slightly more than 45 tonnes (100K lbs).   We are allowed 49.5 tonnes on many roads around here. 
Here are a couple of pics of the loader set up on the side of the trailer. That set up allows him to haul 2 1/2 bunks of random length wood or tree length.  The load of hardwood he was putting on in the pictures would weigh about 55 tonnes when finished which is quite a bit overweight but it's only a few miles to the mill.

Now I see. Interesting. That is one of those things that I put the brakes on driving down the road,turn quick into driveway,or whatever,and I have to go back and check that, I tell the wife, I have to check this thing out.  ;D

Just when you're most sure of something, someone will prove you wrong.  :D

I don't know for sure, but just a guess that it's a small Oliver crawler tractor? OC3= Oliver Crawler 3? Google turns up some results for that anyways...

I like that 'bone, logman. I think if the FEL had a quick connect system, it would be slick. But can you imagine trying to sneak through a thinning with that on? I bet they get quite light on the back end if you pick up a good load ???
