I don't have any digital pics, but they used Sherman tank chassis for logging in some places.

I've heard of fishing with grenades ... but shooting down trees with a tank seems a bit lazy!  :D

Maybe lazy, but what a blast! ;D

A friend found one in the Northwest with a folded spar pole on top-he called it a logging howitzer.

I have a certain penchant for the Russian made Zis-5 and modeled them in a few dozen configurations. This one pressed into civilian rail service in Spain. And the Deuce and 1/2 below saw a few torches.

Chuck check this old thread out, http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=593.15 page 2 shows some examples of logging equipment build on Sherman tank bases.
There was a show on history channel called axemen that featured a Yarder made from a Sherman as well, just can't find an pic right away. Pat
