Terrible tradgedy. Any enclosed cab/EROPS needs an escape hammer inside in a bracket.

That is what happens when everyone wants to go have heaters ....... Used to be skidder operators were almost as tough as cutters , or at least chasers ............ The problem with a good old line skidder was staying IN them .....
