Timberjack 1070C

Has anyone here used a Timberjack 1070C ??

 

I'm looking at the possibility of purchasing a second hand harvester at the moment for specialist thinnings and stumbled across the 1070 which looks ideal for us being a smaller machine, but I'm struggling to find anyone that knows anything out them?

 

Any thoughts welcome guys.

We run a 1070D and its a cracking little harvester. Its the 2nd one we've had and is coming up for sale soon as we've got a new 1170E on the production line now. The 1070 is especially great for first and 2nd thinnings and is also man enough to undertake smaller clearfell work without ant real bother. They have proved to be reliable and strong hence the purchase of another John Deere to replace this one. We also run a 1270E and a 1270D.

have to agree with woodworm there a cracking little machine for thinnings i am doing 1st thinnings with a ergo and having to take three rows out far to big.

That's great news.... at least I'm looking in the right direction then.

 

The majority of the work I'm looking to take on is thinning for biomass, fencing, pallet wood etc. with a small amount of larger diameter work, which if too big for the 1070 could easily be done by our hand cutting squad.

 

Trying to find one for sale is not proving easy though!

 

I have used a 1270D a few times, but I feel it would be just a tad too big on these jobs and I don't want to compete too much with other harvesting contractors, I'd prefer a nice little niche in low impact harvesting on difficult/sensitive sites.

 

Failing all of that I need a good contractor that I can trust to crack on and get the tonnage.

Lot of gear going cheap in Ireland at the moment. A contract who does work for us just got a few diggers and dumper from over there.
