A stroke delimber was used at the landing to remove limbs from the small diameter trees. The rubber tired skidder approaches the landing on the right. The stroke delimber feeds the small log through cutters that removes the limbs. Once limbed the small logs are decked to be loaded onto log trucks. The decked logs are visible to the right. The foreground foliage are limbs removed by the delimber that will be chipped.
