A system of transporting logs from stump to landing by means of steel cables and winch. This method is usually preferred on steep slopes, wet areas, and erodible soils where tractor logging cannot be carried out effectively.
Yarding system employing winches in a fixed position.
A system of logging using wire rope in which winches are in fixed positions and logs are transported partially or entirely off the ground. It is commonly used in the western U.S. on environmentally sensitive areas or areas inaccessible to conventional logging equipment.
The transport of logs from the stump to a landing and stationary yarder using winch-driven cables to which the logs are attached.
