One logger reports thai on a 7.<S-mile haul his motor truck averaged six 

 trips daily, hauling from 3,000 to 5,000 feet log scales per trip. 



A logger on the North Pacific Coast, using a 10-ton Knox logging tractor 

 with a trailer, states that the machine makes from four to five round trips 

 daily for distances from 2 to 7 miles, and hauls from 15,000 to 10,000 feet of 

 logs daily, depending on the length of haul and the condition of road. 



On a 7-mile haul another logger makes four round trips daily, averaging 

 4,000 feet per trip. 



A firm in Washington uses two tractors for hauling logs to the sawmill, 

 a distance of 3 miles, during the day time, and employs one tractor at night 

 to haul lumber to the railroad, G miles distant. 



From the above performances, it would appear that the logging tractor 

 is rapidly gaining a place in the lumber industry. It is certain to prove a 

 boon to the small logger.
