I don't have any digital pics, but they used Sherman tank chassis for logging in some places.

I've heard of fishing with grenades ... but shooting down trees with a tank seems a bit lazy!  Cheesy

Chuck check this old thread out, http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=593.15 page 2 shows some examples of logging equipment build on Sherman tank bases.
There was a show on history channel called axemen that featured a Yarder made from a Sherman as well, just can't find an pic right away. Pat
