Now for the equipment junkies. Here is a shot of the loader. Not a front end loader, but a timber loader. The skidder drags the trees up to the loader. The loader picks them up with the grapple and pulls them through the de-limber. Also in the de-limber is a cut off saw the cuts the tree off to a length suitable for the trailer. If the log is a large hardwood it will usually be put on the bigger "bucksaw" and cut to a certain length.
