this type of machine ruined the logging industry in my area. loggers went out and got huge loans and bought 2 of these at a time. they flooded the markets, the mills quit buying, loggers went bankrupt. yes they are neet machines, when used properly.[/QUOTE] Spouse the axemen said that about chainsaws!

It's still a cool machine. Watching it pick up and strip the trees--it's hard to believe those are living things. Wow!

wow eh. Go to youtube and see some real processors. the feed speed on that thing is nuts since it is a tooth pick goin thru it that weighs nothing. We throw tops out bigger then those trees. but we all gotta log.
