Thor's Hammer
Wolfish. Sometimes Bites.
Ok, I know its tiny compared to the big madill's and SyncroFalkes, but I just bought a small trailed yarder for working nature reserves.
Arb work is really slow with the current economic climate, but we have lots of work felling birch and pine and clearing them off special nature reserves in our National Parks.
Some of these are waterlogged bogs, and cannot take any kind of machinery. This is where the yarder works brilliantly, allowing us to remove the trees without taking heavy equipment on the reserve.
unfortunately, its flatland / terrain logging, so not as easy as working a steep slope. Still, we are getting about 1000ft out without an intermediate hanger.

the problem with flat ground is the deflection works against you. Mind you, the tower is only 24ft - I would prefer a 40ft tower really. The winches are clutch driven off the same shaft, haul in has 400 yards of cable and a 5 yard per second speed, the haul out has nearly 700 yards and 10 yard per second speed.
