Skidders / Yarders are forestry machines used to move cut timber from the harvest site to a landing or loading area. Skidders typically travel over ground and pull logs by cable, grapple, or winch, while yarders use cables and towers to move timber across steep, rough, or sensitive terrain. This category is commonly used in logging, timber harvesting, land clearing, and forest management operations. Buyers include logging contractors, timber companies, forestry operators, landowners, and equipment dealers serving wood products and site preparation work. Skidders / Yarders are selected for efficient log extraction, terrain access, and productivity in commercial forestry applications.
