now has the right tool for the job. “It’s like, year after year, you go off to war with a musket…and then one day you show up with a machine gun,” Yerke said. Adapted from Sennebogen’s extensive line of log-handling equipment, the 718 is a 21 ton rubbertired machine equipped with a telescoping stick and a see ARBORIST page 14
