That's six horse power. How can that be? And not a smooth road surface to boot.

Most impressive!
For Michigan I thought this was big.

some of the taller trucks would have a hell of a time getting under mcdonalds drive through
Thanks, it's my father-in-laws. It's the only thing he has ever bought brand new. He is pushing 70 and still climbs to crown manage tree's the bucket truck can't get to.
My usual response to him is "yes sir" and "no sir".

Good that way you'll stayed married.
I'm looking for a truck like that. A flatbed, but I need one to do long distance. Five hour rides.
But after looking at some of these pics I'm thinking of getting a horse.
Horse Logging.
Saw the thread bigmac. Your third picture has some giant wheels.
Some cool pictures guys! Bigmac, in pic 23 there is a picture of a cable loader with an extended wooden boom or snorkel. Do you know where that picture was taken?
I worked with loaders rigged like that. A good operator could grab a log waaay out there. If I remember right the poles were about 30' long or longer.

horse logging...
Big Jeffery pines there.
This place was horse logged in the 1960's. Cannot say that is a very good on the environment. Far worse than modern light-foot equipment. Still see the scars and damage here 40 years later...

Windthrown, what kind of damage is it? Possibly in spite of and not because of horses? Or the damage was because of poor felling?
log loads
bigmac....thanks for the pictures. We still get three log loads every once in a while but nothing like the timber in some of those old photos. They're much appreciated.
