First Day of Logging to Clear and Build the farm! #logging

What happens here

After trees are felled and bunched, a skidder, another type of heavy yellow forestry machine, is employed to move the logs. The skidder is equipped with a large hydraulic grapple at its rear, which is used to pick up and securely hold multiple logs from the previously formed bunches. The machine then drags these heavy logs across the rough, cleared terrain towards a central collection point, typically a landing area where they will be further processed or loaded for transport. The video illustrates the skidder's power and efficiency in consolidating timber.

Goal: Transport felled logs efficiently to a central collection area.
