bitner Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Here is the latest scratch built piece of logging I've been working on in 1/25 scale. It's a Skagit self propelled 110' tower yarder. These things are monstrous, and they just look awesome. I drew up some scale plans on Autocad for it and that and a ton of reference pics is what I'm using to build it. more to come as I add to it.

Harry P. Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Very impressive scratchbuilding! But what exactly does that thing do in real life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) But what exactly does that thing do in real life? I guess you've never watched "Ax Men" on the History channel, have you!?!? The yarder pulls the logs up or down the mountain to the landing area where they are proceesed and then loaded on the trucks. Here's a YouTube video of a similar tower in action, even though not logging. And one actually pulling logs.

Harry P. Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 "Ax Men?" Never heard of it. History Channel? Not a fan. But thanks to the videos, I get what that thing does. Basically drags stuff. A giant portable winch, sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
