Michigan logging wheels, also known as big wheels, high wheels, logging wheels, logger wheels, lumbering wheels, bummer carts, katydids or nibs, are a type of skidder. It extended the season in which the logging industry could extract timber from the North Woods of Michigan, by removing the need for icy ground to travel over. The logging wheels were a specially designed large set of wooden wagon wheels that could carry logs that were up to 100 feet in length, several at a time. Michigan logging wheels were invented by Silas C. Overpack in 1875. At the time Michigan was the nation's leading producer of lumber. His equipment could be identified as genuine as it was always painted red.
