Abstract
A composite shield-step (10) is provided for an articulated log skidder of the type which has fluid lines (13) exposed through steering cylinder openings (20) to damage from logs and limbs in a logging environment. The composite shield-step (10) provides a first member (12) which is connected to the log skidder about the cylinder opening (20). The first member (12) has an opening (15) which is vertically offset from the cylinder opening (20) so that the fluid lines (13) are visible through both openings (15,20) but, being offset, logs and limbs do not have direct access to the fluid lines (13). A step (23) is formed on the first member (12) for easy access to the log skidder for operation.
