you really have to be confident in wire rope but fascinating none the less

Another way to log steep slopes. Wow!!
I saw one of these forwarders running in the black forest in southern Germany. They picked up the wood as they were going up the hill, the winch would pick up the slack when the forwarder would struggle.
I have seen logging on steep slopes but nothing like that. If that wire rope failed the operator would get a very entertaining ride. :o
