ABSTRACT:
A vehicle for removing slash from steep logging slopes includes an anti-skid propulsion system characterized by a power winch for reeling in an uphill-anchored cable and a pair of crawler tracks (or large tires) driven in synchronization with the winch. The vehicle has an articulating tail boom for working against the cable to assist in maneuvering the vehicle along the slope and stabilizing the vehicle during slash gathering operations. A knuckle boom which is extendable from the vehicle has a grapple for gathering slash within a relatively large area around the vehicle. Removal of slash from the operating site of the vehicle is accomplished by transporting the slash to an access landing using a mobile slash wagon or by chipping the slash using a chipper mounted on the vehicle and then pneumatically carrying the chips through a pipe to a storage van at an access landing remote from the vehicle.
