Madill 044 grapple yarder
Madill 044 working above Sproat Lake, Two Rivers Arm. Deflection is bad and it decreases production, I understood this cutblock was intended to be highleaded, but company just sold off all tower yarders a couple of months before this was logged.

That's a really great footage the operator makes it look really easy it takes a lot of skill to do what he's doing
Good old Mac Blo i actually miss working there.....😢
Pretty high breakage. Made kindling outta some nice timber.
Great video share
Looks like Franklin or Northwest bay divisions near Nanaimo
That operator is pretty good!
Extremely skilled engineer! He's fast and efficient and knows his machine very well. Wondering if he has a guy in the brush guiding him by radio or if he has line of sight.

Hook tender is in vid. And a guy recording is the chaser most likely .
Thanks for clearing that up.
Big Yarder, very cool !
Haulback block is tied to a fresh stump. It was an excavator available for back spar but no road. I'll post video of one of the tailholds later.
His name i Bill, it's no doubt he is skilled!

@@horus2153 no not really the 044 was the one swing machine that can log without guys,, knew a operator in alaska run grapples all the time without a guy until he would get into hard pulls then throw one out, ive had back track of a 44 2 feet off the ground in a hard pull ,, just got to ease out of it slowly!!
