JTL: awesome shots man! My 3800 and 290 were up fall creek ML Springfield division. Couple years ago. I really like where this thread is going! As for the 6 being a 5TSK. I'm pretty sure you're right. Lol.

We call them cranes! Thats about all we get to see for yarders up there. 98 Link Belts and GT-3 Skagits are it. Not really any big demands to a big tower in our broken up country. Allthough the easy ground is all about logged out, so we might see a demand for bigger yarders in the future. Biggest thing up here is the work season. 8 months is a good season, and nobody wants to fork out the big money for a big tower, or even a Thunderbird or Madill swinger.
The guy Matt works for bought a TMY 45 last summer, but they have been rebuilding it from the ground up. He's hoping to have it logging this fall. Theres another guy up here that has a TMY 50, but the 98's converted by Industrial Welding from Spokane or Maki from Pierce, ID are the most popular. Potlatch had 100's of them back in the day, so there are plenty to pick from.
Are you an enviromentist, or do you work for a living?

Guys some really nice shots, I honestly have not "right clicked saved" from this forum for a while. JTL looks like you got a new camera, awesome shots. Thats a right proper logging toy collection in all scales posted earlier. Thanks guys. Graham

Here are some that I FINALLY got off my TS3. The same 210 from a previous post on a different setting.  Another TSY 255 belonging to another contractor.  Another little Acme.  Some more jewelry.  Another stroker. Hyundai/ Madill/ Thunderbird machine.   A detail shot of a 330 shovel for the scratch builders out there.   There are more pics of all these machines in my photo stream.

Potlatch had 100's of them back in the day, so there are plenty to pick from. Copy that! Most of the guys, if not all of them, who run the bigger towers and such here all work on private ground. There are a couple mills that have the ground to justify a big tube. Steep ugly stuff that has to be long span yarded to keep enough lift. I haven't actually seen any madill swingers in person around here. I think the reason there are so many 100k pound swing yarders here is for versatility. All the govt sales are thinnings now and there's no reason to have a tower for a 500' road but the mills will still clear cut stuff. I guess it depends on where your bread gets buttered

It's a GT-3 Jason. And yes that's a 626 Bigwood on the 892! They have a 300 Hitachi shovel as well, but it's having some work done to it.

Those big wood heads are very impressive. I'm surprised more people aren't running GT-3s down here in some of these thinnings. You can thin and the next day run a fairly long road in a clear cut.

Some scenery  Log Max 7000 waiting for work.  Travis' shovel. I believe it's a 240 with Jewell gear.    From inside the Jewell rear entry cab  Pat setting a turn.  "Pistol" Greg at the controls of a 290 packing a Log Max 11000.   I have a ten minute video of all of this in the works now. I'll post a link when I get it done.

[quote=noraztrans]here are a few to keep you busy for now LOL! I just did the rakes (revised from orginals) and did the rome plow on the other 850. If it was real it woul be a bolt on plow so you could still use the machine as a dozer if needed. the other were just messing around on my baby dio. Those cuttter can be a bit finicky. Enjoy Chris  quote] Where did the winch come from?
