This 2008 Diamond DS2646 is a used yarder — also known as a swing yarder — a type of cable logging machine used in forestry operations to extract felled timber from steep or otherwise difficult terrain by suspending logs on a running skyline and hauling them to a central landing. Diamond is a recognised manufacturer of logging and yarder equipment serving the timber harvesting industry.
This machine comes equipped with an Acme 28 carriage and the associated radios, providing a ready-to-work cable logging setup. The Acme 28 carriage is a self-propelled radio-controlled skyline carriage widely used in Pacific Northwest logging operations, allowing the operator to control the carriage remotely from the landing.
Notably, the listing includes a substantial package of spare componentry: an extra rebuilt engine, an extra rebuilt transmission, and an extra ECM (engine control module). This inventory of reconditioned spare parts represents meaningful long-term value, reducing downtime risk and supporting continued productivity in demanding production logging environments.
The machine is located in Oregon, USA, placing it in the heart of the region where swing yarder cable logging is most commonly practiced.
