Looks like a KB-7.

Beautiful truck and folks working in the cold.

I would say KB-6 or 7.
I wonder if he's planning to dump all those logs into the back of that truck? Wonder what that would look like!

Must have a pretty good counterweight on that crawler unless thats balsa wood

Looks like log bunks, to get over as he puts them on the truck. Loader has to fit between them, as the logs go inside of them. So lift the logs over then let down to slide forks out from under them. At least that is how I would do it, not dump them on the bed.

Not much weight compared to boulders that are routinely dropped into dump truck bodies.

I agree, looks like a normal log truck with bolsters for the logs to lie on.

BYW, I love that truck.

Thats definitely a crawler, but look closely at the snow bank and you can see the operators face peeking out which indicates how long the frame is. The proximity of the track that far front doesnt fit any ag or construction crawler I can think of. Its likely a specialty crawler judging by the design of the loader frame which is different from standard ag and construction crawlers.

I just noticed the grapple on the front. it certainly is something advanced for the time, and I'll bet that it was shop built specifically for the needs of one customer.

That's how my dad did it for many years. Us boys would arrange them a little better with a cant hook if necessary. Also when he ran out of reach we would roll some up the forks to get another course on. Let me see if I have a picture of the loader. That was me loading plywood on my truck in the early 80s.
