update on the one buck makino
delivered today by the wizards of Checkmate Rigging-- two big
thumbs up for this team
it was necessary to "swede" the forklifts
i'll explain--in this part of the country about 140 years ago harvest began on
many big trees----- 8 to 12 feet in diameter was common
with the tree on the ground bucked into skidding length--a wire rope
choker was wrapped around the big end of the log---and often it was necessary
to couple chokers in series to get adequate length to encircle log and connect to
powered pulling main line -- or arch--etc
this practice was labeled "swedeing"
not to be confused with the modern definition in wikipedia
so--any time it is necessary to gang lift, two pull or the like ~~~up here it is swedeing
machine is being parted
