That looks like the one I had . Heavy bugger by today's standards .

Very heavy and lots of complicated detail bits under the hood which have been simplified out of modern saws, all metal construction.

 

Lighter than the Danarm though.

 

It seems incredible it was used all day long  in quite large thinnings.

 

I wonder what percentage of modern timber production is done motor manual now compared with harvesters.

 

In 1974 when  we had 621s at EFG a chap called Ray Stubbs brought a Fordson Major with an ex lorry HIAB  and grapple in to do the extraction for Forest Thinnings. It blew a load of ram seals, Ray was heartbroken because seals cost a fortune then as so little hydraulic equipment about.

I expect we are related somewhere down the line as I am Andy Stubbs .
