Fantastic video great machines from a day when men were men in the forest
these machines might be old but they were the best of the best back in the day where techology wasnt there yet
You don't need a computer to drive a logging truck

that big ass boom processor looks like something straight out of Aliens, lmao
There was a day when a crew of men armed with nothing but double edged axes & long saws with teams of mules & sleds at their ready to haul a daily load of timber out of a thick stand of trees.
I can only imagine but I suppose they manually cut their way into the forest creating a path to enter & transport their daily loads elsewhere.
Now if you'd showed them this video with all this "antiquated equipment",, they'd be salivating on themselves with the reality of how easy their lives would have been to have only a few pieces of this dated machinery at their disposal.
With only as old or young as I am,, I've seen unbelievable leaps in progress & productivity that go far before the creations in this video that would astound younger people as to how we lived only 50-60 yrs. ago.
In other words,, I don't look at this equipment in this video at outdated,, I look at it as an intermediate step into unbelievable technology that in some ways,, has made living far easier than we as the human race should want to accept. There's something to be said about a man taking on the wild with his bare hands facing hardships that not only made him stronger in many ways,, but also shaped his character as well..
Thanks for sharing your words :)
love it
the nice sound..
Bra film!
GOOD to see thank you for the video. :)
Nice Video and great Maschines
Nice keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They still work good though
wow
must restore them!
Thank god that im not working on those macines
Do you mean operating them, or fixing them? They're probably nice and simple to work on, if they were cleaned up a little. Probably not much in the way of creature comforts in the cab, though.
I had one of those logma's and it was absolutely fun to operate but a nightmare to work on. Very complicated but a beast. It had speed and power.
Hva bra då.......
forest logging machines
I see no reason to buy new unless the old machine is so worn out that it can't be rebuilt. The machines from the 1970's, 80's and 90's are so like the new equipment that it seems a waste of money for new and shiny.
