Congrats , I like it. I see you've got a good test log handy. The controls working good? Let us know how you like it!

Do you have the blade down as an outrigger? Can't tell with the snow. Jon

Seems to work great! Yes that log is about 2k lbs. It's not small.

I think in that picture I did. Actually was able to pick it up off the side first though. Little tippy but managed. It's a 30 dbh elm log that's about 12 feet in length

Real good idea to have manuals, I ordered a set of service manuals for my Volvo excavator off e bay, or if you’ve got a case construction dealer nearby they should be able to get them. Just curious what does dbh stand for? Dam big honkin?

Looks nice. I’d have to cut that log into two or three pieces to pick it up.
