Hi guys, looking for a yard forwarder, the more basic the better, for a small sawmill. Cheers

Do you mean a machine to move logs around the yard?  

In which case what is your yard like - is it flat?  Is it concrete/tarmac?  What is the maximum length and diameter log?

[irish surgeon]

Yard is on two levels, bottom yard is flat, there is a slight hill up to next yard where we store logs, no tarmac or concrete in any of our yard. We mostly cut douglas fir and larch in 16ft, some big some small no animals

Tractor loader with a modified muck grab is probably the easiest option without spending serious amounts of cash and easy to shift if it doesn't suit.

 

All depends on your budget and how fancy you want it too look.

Just like he said. But pump the tires up.

Yeah something like that would be a god send in my yard for sure but everything I see like that is stupid money
