SLASH RECOVERY SYSTEM Abstract A vehicle for removing slash from steep logging slopes includes an anti-skid propulsion system characterized by a power winch for reeling in an uphill-anchored cable and a pair of crawler tracks (or large tires) driven in synchro- nization with the winch. The vehicle has an articulating tail boom for working against the cable to assist in maneu- vering the vehicle along the slope and stabilizing the vehicle during slash gathering operations. A knuckle boom which is extendable from the vehicle has a grapple for gathering slash within a relatively large area around the vehicle. Removal of slash from the operating site of the vehicle is accomplished by transporting the slash to an access landing using a mobile slash wagon or by chipping the slash using a chipper mounted on the vehicle and then pneumatically carrying the chips through a pipe to a storage van at an access landing remote from the vehicle.
