When looking for logging equipment, a skidder is a necessary component. Defined as “any type of heavy vehicle used in a logging operation”, they are used to pull cut trees out of the forest in a process called skidding. They also can be used for pulling tree stumps, pushing over small trees and preliminary grading of a logging path. Both cable and grapple skidders can be used in logging operations.
Tigercat debuted a new skidder model at the Paul Bunyan forestry equipment exposition in Cambridge, Ohio.
