Heavy Haul Trucking Move
This forestry skidder had to be moved from Mississippi to Pensylvania. Forestry skidders are used in logging operations for pulling cut tress out of a forest to a cleared landing site. This process of pulling the cut trees out is called "skidding". This particular model is a Timberjack 460D, these are fairly common skidders used by the forestry industry.Other variants of the skidder include the grapple skidder and the cable skidder.
The grapple skidder uses a hydaraulic grapple bucket (this is a bucket similar to a clamshell or claw) to pull logs.
The cable skidder uses a cable attached to the logs to pull them, the cable is on a winch.
A newer modification is named the clam-bunk skidder, which has a high load size capacity, ie: can load / move /carry more logs in one trip. Clambunk skidders are the most expensive of the three types of skidders used in logging operations.
