Just started running this new buncher and it is a very fast and smooth. It is a little more tippy than the timbcos but I am getting used to it. How does your buncher handle? i
I'm still partial to the Waratah danglers, I do like the set-up you have though. Have you seen the Rotne line?
Do you mean Rottne? If so, for wheeled type harvesters they are impressive. The H20 is a beast. I also like Ecolog with Logmax heads. http://www.eco-log.se/en/company/eco_log_in_soderhamn http://www.rottne.com/ Tracked harvesters, I'm partial to Tigercat. As long as the machine pays itself and the owner, its a good machine for the job.
Yes, I meant Rottne... Been a lil while.
I hope to see this one working when next time I am down south. Climb Max. Modified ZAXIS 400 with built in winch for slope work and blade 'brake'. http://youtu.be/4FwgrE6afvs
that video is awesome! i wonder how long it will take to get something like that in the woods in the northwest US? the blade would help tons i never thought of that before! i would think redudant lines and winches though, and a hotsaw it would be a bad day to get in the middle of that hill and have to change a bent bar or ? it could take a couple of hours to get down the hill 500 ft then back up 500ft! the shovel logging production is amazing.....................................theironoracle
we regularly bunch 32 inch plus trees on steeper slopes with our levelling Tigercat L870C I wonder why no self leveller. Less work for the swing drives, easier on the operator, pushes the centre of gravity forward and makes it climb better it just seems a little odd as the levellers are so common now. But it seems to work for them so that's all that really matters the blade and winch are a neat idea. DSL
i am trying to locate a set of rails and pads for a timbco 425b buncher, i found a set but they don't have the mud hole or the corners clipped on the pads how important is this?????.....thanks......theironoracle
I have seen the track shop at cat in cranbrook cutting out the holes in the pads, only took a few hours. The holes are really nice in winter to keep the rails from packing with snow and the clipped corners would only take a bit to nip off with a torch. The pads will round off nicely the first good rocky patch the buncher gets into anyway. We are running a tigercat lx830c with a quadco head seems to be a really good package.
good looking package. nice
Nose Cone on TimberPro Couldn't figure out how to send picture in PM. Yes, it is a counterweight. I can't remember for sure, but I'm thinking it weighs 3,000 lbs (filled with lead shot). TimberPro builds it, so it fits just perfect on front of the fuel tank. Need a good welder. Anyway, made all the difference in the world for me
Better Nose Cone Picture Finally got better picture of TimberPro nosecone / counterbalance. Made all the difference for me.
Wasn't that the fuel tank on the older timbco's? Edit, nvrmind. I re read your post. My bad
