YARDING

A variety of methods are used by motor truck loggers to get the logs to

the landing to be loaded. The larger operations invariably use the

high-lead method of yarding as the logs come in quicker and with fewer

hang-ups. In a few places the old ground method of yarding with a bull

block is still used. The horse team and skid road is used in a small

timber where poles and piling are being marketed. The latter is a slow

method but will keep one truck busy and is still used in some places

where small stands are located along the highway or in other readily

accessible places.
