Abandoned 550 Timberjack Log Skidder
Several decades ago, someone drove this Timberjack skidder into it's last parking spot....hit the kill-switch and walked away. Maybe the nature of the business changed or the ambition wilted...could be that it was too much trouble to keep running...but there it rests. The forest that it was meant to harvest, grew up around it in an attempt to devour the old enemy. It certainly looks like a good candidate for a rebuild if the right person was so inclined. But then again, it's just one of the dozens of old West Coast logging relics that are parked on this property. Here is a video tour of a section of the property full of abandoned machines and trucks....it ends at the skidder And...a video tour of the 550 Timberjack Zoom Zoom Fitz tries it on for size
