clear felling valley, what to charge?

[andy26]

Now that this thread is suitably de-railed, Shall we discuss the merits of a feller-buncher, over a harvester, both tracked and wheeled ?

 

If your whole tree chipping obviously the feller buncher or tree shear this side of the pond is the tool.

Likewise where keeping control of the fall of the tree is important the tree shear wins.

 

Eitherway great machines to watch in full flight.

 

Jack can put the train back on the track at any point...

I wish more Harvester contractors were on here to see their jobs:001_cool:

 

I'm off to Finland to train on the harvesters. So i shall show you some pictures when i'm over there.

Maybe Jack is lost in the canyon he is pricing:001_huh:

That sounds great fun, be a change fro mover here. Iv'e never seen anywhere so forested (if thats such a word) as Finland - all we could see from the top of a hill in every direction was softwood and sky

Spend the best part of a year in Finland training on the big forwarders and harvesters. Then i'm thinking come back big bank loan and getting myself a T131 and a harvester head. Looked at a few woodland jobs around here that the harvester would breeeze through.

I take my hat off to you mate:thumbup1:

I not only take my hat off, I will bow before you. Big kit is awesome but Harvesters are something else. Cant wait for pictures.

Living the dream

 

I reckon you'll be onto a winner with the Valtra, I'm surpised there's not a few more doing it over here yet.

nice one mate!

thats possibly the way im hoping to heading in the future, owning my own harvester would be awesome, one of the main reasons why i've been studying a lot of the engineering side of things, is to be able to fix and maintain big kit, this has potential to cut down huge call out fees, and its just bloody good fun
