Skidders / Yarders are forestry machines used to move cut timber from the harvest area to a landing or collection point. Skidders typically drag or carry logs over ground in ground-based logging operations, while yarders use cables to lift and transport timber on steep, rough, or sensitive terrain. This category is commonly used in commercial logging, timber harvesting, thinning, and land clearing projects. Buyers include logging contractors, forestry companies, timberland operators, and equipment rental fleets serving wood products and land management jobs. Skidders / Yarders are selected for moving felled trees efficiently in conditions where trucks and standard material handling equipment cannot operate.
