Yes have plenty of pics just have to dig them out, not sure if I have many of our 6355 up North though, I think it is parked at the moment with a broken mainshaft.

Heres a TY90 I found the other day. I had never seen a yarder of this size before, other than the TY80 that was sitting at exit 57 on I-5. So seeing this one, all rigged up and ready to log was awesome!!

Jason,
That is (Jeff Gould's)Diamond Timber's TY-90 from Castle rock Wa. It was owned by Tim Brown prior to Jeff amd os one of the nicest TY-90's around. Jeff is probably the best logger in the area and has more respect from me than I can explain. This was on the St.Helens tree farm for weyco.

Tim Brown aquired that yarder from Jerry DeBriae in 2005.

I posted a few photos of T4043 some time ago. The other day I managed to get up and have a look. Nice little yarder.

I wonder if anyone regognises their number of the tag.

Psy200 10570

This machine is currently sitting in Rotorua. It has been repoed and unfortunatly not been treated well. It has had the main drum broken in the usual PSY fashion. A quick fix was done by welding the slackpuller to the main drum. The reversing clutches have been disabled. It could be repaired but it is a shame it was not done properly to start with.
