What is a Gypo? A Cat side? A Shovel side?
Thanks Andy

Thanks Andy
A wealth of info. Thanks a bunch guys.
Now besides the obvious, what is the difference in uphill verse downhill? Does that have to do with where the landing is?
Also... Gypo is that gi-po?
Thanks much Slowp!
I feel as if I'm in school again... The little differences are pretty interesting.
Do you always carry a camera with you?
BLAAHH to the boring colors... I flash hot pink laces on my winter calks
I seem to notice that Komatsu shovel loggers are pretty popular/common.
How bout synthetic vs. wire cable/guy/haywire? Anyone try or seen it in use?
Can't say I've ever heard of a "Super Snorkel"...
The term "shovel" as it was explained to me, comes from back in the day when steam shovels were converted to loaders for logging operations. The loggers just kept referring to them as "shovels".
I guess the proper term would be "grapples".
I can't remember if that particular loggin' outfir was usin' a Skagit or not for the the yarder/spar pole. There is 4 Skagit yarders sittin' about 40 miles from my house just rottin' to the ground. They aren't used as much anymore.

Done my fair share of that already...
Now I'm just a "hired gun" contract cutter.
