Portable steel spar poles arc comparatively new, although quite a few are now in use. One local firm has three. Dumont and Hebard hit upon the Idea of producing a steel spar adapted to their company's needs about two years ago. After finding success with their design, they have decided lo produce them com mercially. They sec unlimited de mand lor such equipment. How ever, production entails consider able capital investment. The cost i may rango from $15,000, using the buyers donkey engine and truck, up lo 10,000 for a complete unit. Costs vary, they said, on the size and typo of unit. The two men slate their machine is nut intended to replace present heavy machines and tall wooden spars. But they feel they have per haps the best supplement to pres ent equipment on the market today. They emphasize the advantages of mobility of portable lead for log King difficult corners of a logging show. They estimate substantial costs can be saved by allowing present 1 equipment In log 80 cr cent of! the job by shorter reach and re-! duced time, and letting the portable spar log the remaining 20 per cent of the volume.
