Self-Propelled Tracked Log Hauler

Self-Propelled Tracked Log Hauler WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 23-5-37 This new self-propelled, rubber-tracked log hauler allows one person to easily transport logs over rough terrain with a minimal amount of handling, says Tilton Equipment Co., St. Paul, Minn. The "Iron Horse" is powered by a 5 1/2 or 9 hp gas engine and has wide rubber tracks that ride on a front spring-mounted bogie suspension system. The operator steers it by holding onto a handle as he walks ahead of the unit. Four different models are available, along with a wide range of accessories including a self-unloading bogie axle timber cart, a loader with motorized winch for loading large logs, and a bogie timber cart with telescopic drawbar that allows the cart to be lengthened. Ground pressure of the fully loaded machine is lower than that of the operator on foot, says the company.
