I got word yesterday that a TY-90 on a T100 HD self-propelled carrier was laying on its side near Forks. Sad to see another one go down.
Little Yarder BIG wood, I see what you mean guys pain to upload pictures... doubles ?
Haha thought you would like these big cedars... I will be loading a few of these biggies with the yarder, 3800 won't lift them, off hiway trucks so shouldn't be to bad... I'll get some pictures.Damn Murk,

Good no one hurt. Sad about crashes. Hard to make a living when things are good so this just sucksI did.
No injuries but the outfit has had a bad run of crashes lately. It's too bad as they are a great outfit too.
Here's a nice machine!
Mike Plaas of Eatonville Washington picked up a used TY-90 on T100 trailer in the Morton Wa area and brought it in to be re-built. In the meantime, Sholes Logging of Aberdeen sent an old Skagit BU-90 on a T-100 Self-Propelled to RB Auction, and Mike Plaas and Bill Paulson (and myself) happened to be standing there looking at it. It was agreed that if it sold cheap enough, the T-100 SP could be re-built and the TY-90 hoist mounted on that instead. It did.
Needless to say, the Skagit BU-90 was pulled off and the Self-Propelled carrier was rebuilt and a downdrive was added to the TY-90 to make it run the carrier. The Skagit trailer that originally carried the TY-90 was sold off, and the new yarder emerged from the McPaul shop as it appears below. The paint was automotive-quality with 2 coats of cover clearcoat at a cost paid by Mr Plaas of $18,000.00.
Mike Plaas logged with it at Kapowsin for several years before selling it overseas.
The rebuild took place in the winter of 1995/1996.
Look great Furpo new paint is always nice.. The one I've been driving is due 5 years now #S5130 All you need now is a topping line winch and the Kobalt rigging control valve.S5087 heading back to work View attachment 181939
