The machines commonly used for logging in the harder chances inthe Sierras, where long hauls and uphill pulls are necessary, are stilllarger. The smallest are 11 by 13 inch yarders and the largest 12by 14 inch. The latter are the largest on the market. The maximumyarding distance is usually 2,000 feet, sometimes 2,200 feet. Thetendency is to replace worn-out yarders by larger machines, and themanufacturers have accordingly been turning out larger engines eachyear. Table 3 gives the approximate prices, f. o. b. factory, for yardingengines. Table 3.—Prices of yarding engines.
