Popular Post vision386 Posted December 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2014 Home today running some errands,came across these two beasts! They are clearing some land down near my Mom's place,and they were parked next to the road,so I thought I'd check them out. Both 300 powered,the one closest to the road was a 2-stick 6 speed,the other one was an air-shift 6 speed other then that they appeared identical. I imagine they started life as mixers,but still pretty un-usual to see a DMM tractor. Pretty nice R-Model was pulling out as we went past,but too quick to get a picture.......................................Mark 8 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

vision386 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Jim,i think they are using these to bring loaded log trailers out of the woods (rough, hilly country) and dropping them up on a cleared area so the "road" trucks can take them where they go? The R-Model I saw was pulling a loaded log trailer out of here when we passed..................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

j hancock Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yes, I remember seeing the program. The fellow was just riding along controlling everything with a couple of joysticks and a ton of switches! I also had a chance to check one out at a forestry equipment expo a few years ago.The forest industry is using all the engineering and technology that they can get to put all personnel in a cab for each process for efficiency and safety. The insurance rates in the logging business are insane. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
