skidder
Forestry hauling vehicle
A skidder is a piece of heavy equipment used in logging to drag felled trees from where they were cut to a loading area.
The machine grips logs with a grapple or cable and skids them along the ground rather than lifting them completely.
Skidder also refers to someone who skids—slides uncontrollably—though this use is rare outside logging contexts.
