Shouldn't have to worry about my interweb signal being blocked for a few years anyway. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 98% of the ones around here are all on tracks , did that one have a saw or a shear on it? Both had saws on them. What they were cutting right there was pretty much just poles, no big stuff. They're chipping all of it anyway. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

slpwlker Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Surprised they don't just go in with a Hydroax or similiar machine. if they are just chipping it mow it down. This thing was interesting to watch and more so to run and load. controls similiar to a loader but hydrostat on floor. and only foes so high but can cut just about anything 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38281-feller-bunchers/#findComment-272786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma requires sn on all loads with permits. they will look. some will look the other way but it is few and far between Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38281-feller-bunchers/#findComment-272968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted January 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2015 I used to work at a land clearing co. We had all that fun stuff. We had two Timbco's with the saw head on them,as we don't have much straight lumber in these parts. We needed the big saw. We had a Sneller for stumpingand a Rayco, had a couple Morbark chippers and also some Morbark tub grinders, and a CBI for grinding.The yellow Pete in the pictures was my daily driver. I also have the toy versions of some of these. A Valmetand CAT, but both have the head for cutting straight trees. Have a 545 CAT skidder also and a 518 CAT,a Lumberjack skidder and a few other pieces not pictured. Was some neat equipment to work around. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38281-feller-bunchers/#findComment-273008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted January 3, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think a Morbark was the only kind of chipper i'd ever seen before. H.H.Moore was a contract carrier for Westvaco for years, and we hauled chips, then pulpwood, from Westvaco woodyards to the paper mill in Covington. Hauled some to Luke,Md. too. Westvaco had Morbark chippers, the old ones had V12 Detroits on them, the later ones they got had 600hp. Cummins engines on them and they would just eat a big stick of hardwood up- like in a couple of seconds.Morbark chipper-Best chip truck I drove-Chip pile at Covington- 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
