If you haven't seen this machine in action, pretty impressive...

Rich, you are a little late to the party.

That is an INCREDIBLE machine. It does things that my common sense tells me aren't even possible. Like Jack Nicholson says in the first Batman movie: "where does he get all of those wonderful toys?"

Quick and efficient. Does wonders for a small machine. Nice operator, too. His technique'll help with large trees on that lightweight machine. Wonder what that arm and harvester costs???

I checked out machine finder one like that with 10,000 hrs = 368,000.00 us dollars. I don't know how you could ever harvest enough wood to ever pay for it. The imprints of my *** cheeks would be in that seat long before it was payed for.

I'd be putting that thing in a stand of black cherry rather than black spruce to pay for the bloody thing then...

 

[JDPN]

when you harvest 1000+ trees a day with that machine, who cares what it costs?

Rich,

Thanks for that. If they have that much mechanization out in the field, it makes you wonder what awaits those logs back at the mill.
