Heel Boom Loader, loading harvested Hybrid Poplar logs.

---

Heel Boom Loader, loading harvested Hybrid Poplar logs for transportation to the mill, plantation, mid October (Populus deltoides x Populus nigra). Generally the trees are divided up and go to four markets. The large end goes to the sawmill for boards. The next smaller goes to veneer for plywood. Next is chips for pulp and paper. The tops, branches and bark go for energy.
