This Thunderbird TSY6155 is a used yarder, a type of cable logging machine used to haul felled timber from the cutting area to a central landing, typically in steep or rugged terrain where ground-based skidding equipment cannot operate effectively. Yarders are sometimes referred to as yarding machines or log haulers in the timber harvesting industry. Thunderbird Forest Equipment is a well-regarded Canadian manufacturer with a long history of building yarders, loaders, and related equipment for the commercial logging sector, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and other demanding forestry environments.
This 1996 machine is configured as a swing yarder, meaning it is mounted on a rotating base that allows the operator to swing logs laterally across a range of angles rather than being restricted to a single corridor, which significantly increases the productive reach of the system. It comes equipped with three MSP carriages and the associated radios, providing a complete multi-span setup ready for cable rigging operations. A quantity of extra parts is also included with the sale, which may offer useful serviceability support for a buyer already running similar equipment.
The machine is located in Oregon, USA, placing it in one of the most active timber-harvesting regions in the country.
