As part of the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Assn. (GLTPA) Logging & Heavy Equipment Expo in Escanaba, Mich., Barko held a loader contest that tested the operating skills of participants by requiring them to move six logs back and forth on the course with a brand new Barko 595B hydrostatic merchandising loader. Awards were presented to the top three fastest operators on early Saturday afternoon as the show closed.
