Logging Hardwoods with Chainsaw and Cable Skidder 

Marlin Trucking and Logging, winter 2024 cutting hardwood saw logs. This bush is mostly maple. We were cutting by hand and skidding with a John Deere 748. This was originally a grapple skidder but is set up now to be used as a cable skidder. This machine is extremely powerful, it breaks chokers and bells without even grunting. There is some footage from another tornado cleanup job using a John Deere 648 Grapple Skidder as well. Near the end of the video there is some jake brake action shots of the Cat powered tri-drive Freightliner log truck. This is located in Hastings County, Ontario
