Skidders / Yarders are forestry machines used to move cut timber from the harvest area to a landing or processing point. Skidders typically drag or carry logs over ground in ground-based logging operations, while yarders use cables to lift and transport logs on steep, rough, or sensitive terrain. This category is commonly used in timber harvesting, log extraction, and forest road access work. Buyers include logging contractors, timber companies, land management operations, and equipment dealers serving forestry fleets. Skidders / Yarders are selected for clearcutting, selective harvesting, and steep-slope logging where efficient log handling and terrain access are required.
