Nearly flipped my skidder side-hilling a turn.

Since the ground is so steep I switched to my grapple yarder to get the rest of the logs out.

That's pretty slick. Somebody really put in the time and effort on all that. The only thing I see that isn't authentic is that the machinery is just too shiny and new looking.
Now we need some RC fallers.
There's another video of him loading a Pete log truck with a shovel. Very authentic...on one of the wing logs he got a four cushion shot off all four stakes.
Deming has a very elaborate set up with a skagit tower and carriges some where I have pics and maybe a video ill have to see if I can them.
I thought they banned the three wheeled skidder because of tipping problems

Yep, I've done a little RC and it took a ton of time and thinking to get that set up and running.
I've also run real machines that were radio controlled, mostly cranes and concrete pumps, and it can be really useful to stand back or walk around for a different perspective.
Mr. HE
They did, but there are still plenty of the old ones around.
A real farmer can both skid a log and plow the ground at the same time using a three wheel skidder.
Mr. HE
Of course, I'm in no position to make fun of alternate skidding machines because for the last week I've been skidding with a 1986 Honda Fourtrax 350 4x4 with a log arch behind it. It'll move some logs for what it is. 
It would not pay in a commercial operation, but this is a property clean-up and I get paid, and then I get the logs basically as a bonus, most are firewood, some will go to a small mill and become boards for my own use. Beats just putting it all on the slash pile.

I hope you had a permit for that wouldn't want to start a landslide or anything.

Permit? We don' need no stinkin' permit.
