The UK Forestry Demo 15/16 May 2014

[HGBMX]

It's a lot like the farming shows where it's a lot about just seeing and talking to people. It was a good show and the ground was good for a demo I think, the tiger cats had some big timber to fell on their block but it was actually their contract so really it was just another day for them. There was a lot of new harvester heads to watch though and some of the improvements are pretty amazing.

Was a very good show with one or two new developments. Ponsse really seem to be upping their game, not necessarily just with the Scorpion, but the power in the other heads on the machines is incredible. A big disappointment is that after all the hype about them, Deere didnt have the 8 wheeler IT4 working. Komatsu C144 head is a good new development with more stem to roller contact giving a more positive feed.

Yve, do you do replacement plastic covers for the grab bars on the fuel tanks which can be fitted without gassing off one end of the grab bar and welding it back on again?

Deere had the new 8 wheeler working, we watched it for a while I'm sure

Yve, could you bung me a quotation by pm for one of your 850 grab tanks BGT850 and the BGT850-TC please?

 

Many thanks.

some excellent machinery on show, the new tracked tigercat looks the biz, just to many folk biased to wheeled machines, some nice stands of timber felled, just hope its not all going to feed the biomass at lockerbie

Glad everyone enjoyed it, nice weather for it and midges havenae really started yet.

 

I mind sitting on the oppisate side of that valley watching 2 tigercats romp throu the wood oppisate(probably a job just south of the exhibition site) we were over below where the windmills are now. Operator i was cuting for had a medium sized Valmet harvester and was getting sevre tangs of jealosy

 

Surprised u got some good timber the oppisate side of valley is poor and further east into the tweed vally pretty poor too

 

The harvester heads have came on massively in 8 odd year hardy need a cutter now, lot less boundry brash and missed rows/ditches done now.

The trees looked ok until u got in the harvester seat. I drone the komatsu 931 with C144 and was surprised how poor the trees were, much akin to or worse than a lot of the scots pine down in Norfolk
