This Madill 071 is a used yarder — sometimes referred to as a log yarder or cable yarder — a type of machine used in logging operations to haul felled timber from steep or difficult terrain to a central landing using a system of cables and drums. Madill is a well-established Canadian manufacturer with a long history of building specialized forestry equipment, including yarders, processors, and loaders, serving the commercial timber industry across North America and beyond.
This particular machine is located in Oregon, USA, and has received notable mechanical attention. It is fitted with a new Detroit engine and a new turbocharger, meaning the powerplant has been substantially refreshed and should be ready for demanding cable logging work. The machine also comes equipped with four guylines, which are the anchor cables used to stabilize a yarder during operation — having a full set of four is a practical advantage that reduces the additional outlay a buyer would otherwise face.
Additionally, an ACME 28S carriage is available alongside this listing. A grapple or gravity carriage is an essential working component in a cable yarding system, used to travel along the mainline and return line to retrieve logs, and the availability of the ACME 28S unit makes this a more complete and immediately operational package for prospective buyers in the timber harvesting sector.
