. Canadian forest industries 1910. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 55 Cheapen Your Logging. By Using the Lidgerwood Skidding Method The machine shown in the cut above will pull itself on snow or bare ground wherever a pair of horses could take a drag sled, dray, jumper, skidding or single sled. From any location alongside such a road it will reach to the stump a distance of one-quarter of a mile or less in every direction and will skid all trees in full length or in log lengths. It will place the logs on skids or sleds or in the stream or lake as desired. It will re-yard logs, either taking the logs direct from the teams or from the skid way, or where left by itself at a previous setting. It operates throughout the year and is absolutely independent of ground conditions ; that is, such as windfalls, underbrush, rocks, cliffs, ravines, or the steepest slopes, operating under such conditions almost as cheaply as over smooth ground. All swamping, rolling, sliding and expensive cant dog or other hand work is eliminated. It does not fill the logs full of gravel and it does not brake or otherwise damage them. It requires a skidding crew of eight men, uses for fuel one and one-half cords of wood per day. It will skid the largest tree or a cord of pulpwood, or several small logs at each trip. It will clear 40 to 60 acres at each setting, moves itself quickly from setting to setting, operates independent of weather conditions, does not "eat" when not working, does not have to be " sprung out" and has a working life of fifteen year--.
