Drivers arn't what they used to be

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

Horse logging equipment

 

They do quite a lot of horse drawn stuff, not cheap though but a good site

 

Cambridge rollers work well on bracken and are cheap in used condition.

 

Regarding the stuck LR with machine could you have driven down hill and off the site that direction? Leaves and moss are difficult to drive on.

A friend of mine asked me to help him get his 3 month old Doosan out after getting into a spot of bother whilst forestry ditching. Had to travel 300 yards with a 7 tonner using bog mats then dig all around the machine. Pulled the injectors to blow the water out of the engine then rigged a dummy fuel tank (it's own one was full of water). Left quite a hole!

Back to base, quick run over with the pressure hose, handfull of relays replaced and the diesel tank flushed and she was as good as new. He has 600mm pads and a 6 tonne hydraulic winch fitted to the machine to help him through bad spots now. Very tricky job all the same.

 

Haha!! That's quality!!!
