skyline pics - if anyone interested

[Stephen Blair]

i love all that rigging stuff, as a kid i spent all my weekends and holidays in argyll, skyline country, my dad would just pull over and go for a nosey, the guys would always stop for a chat and let you climb over the machines, it was great. i do the same if i see a machine working, i love it, i have had alexander on diggers and tractors all over the place, it was the same when i had the mog, folk would come up for a nosey, i would always let them chuck their kids in and blast the horn:thumbup1:

depends how its been felled and terrain - we do alot of coming in after harvesters so could be between 15-30 tonne - trouble is theres alot of things that you have to way up on each individual job - if getting the stuff the harvestors cant get you have to do alot of setting up and then skylining off then moving rig and setting up again and sometimes its a nightmare to get a decent bit of tonnage off

Still nice to see on still working on Commercial sites ! I spent 4 months waggling the levers on one back in the Summer.
