Default Flying Cats

...as in grapple skidders and a D6. This is not a camera trick, it's 100% real. Listen to the skyline sing...


Dahlgren Logging Inc. Forks, WA....using a Berger MKVI tower yarder...the largest skyline machine in the world. Only two were ever built and they own them both. Enjoy...

Default Landing the D6

with wet drum brakes.....I wish the video could show the four Cats on tail holds for the tube....this whole deal was nuts and was the talk of our area for months afterwards.

For those who have watched Ax Men, J.M. Browning has repeatedly said that Dahlgren is the company *he* looks up to....FYI these guys (and gals, hi Cheri) are good.

Cheers, Dan-

Bereger builds them big and Dahlgren get's it done.
Taking chances is how they do it.

On a side note they must be 4500' out on the Skyline.
