953ML Shovel Logger takes on the wetlands of southeastern North Carolina. | American Timber Stewardship Council

R&R Swamp Logging is a third-generation business. Brothers Ron and Rusty Delk are the owners. John Deere 853M and 903M Tracked Feller Bunchers have demonstrated their mettle in the tough ground. While most logging operations in the region use wheeled feller bunchers, R&R Swamp Logging finds that tracked machines are essential to what the company does. “All we’ve ever run are tracked cutters,” says Rusty. “Where we log, that’s all we can really use.” | American Timber Stewardship Council
