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

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.
