Yeah I have one and they will move a good size tree you just have to get use to the back end being lite once you get over the tippy part you have it made also if you're scared of it rolling over stay the crap out of it you don't need to be in it if you're afraid i really love mine takes alot of backbreaking work out of the equation
I used to drive them for 15 years for major log products. They were awesome machines . They were the bigger version belloggers and were very fast with longer boom and had rotating grapplers , sure wish I owned one like you.
@@thumpervansqueakynuts5848 he doesn't understand that the cab is much closer to the front axle than the rear, so the "hit" is significantly less than if it was mounted in the middle or closer to the rear. Also I would imagine the seat probably has an air suspension similar to a seat in a 18 wheeler. Combine those and I guarantee you the driver is feeling maybe 15% of that impact. Also I'll bet the air pressure in the rear tire is not super high which again will further dampen the shock when it comes down.
As it cuts it lifts and throws the tree forward. We used 2 of them in Karri hardwood in Western Australia. Our just felled and basic stacked for an OSA harvester to process. They are a really good unit.

That looks like more fun than a 4 wheeler.

I really like that. Just watched a walk-around vid :o)
if you had one of these back in the day you were really doing good
Looks cool. An lite weight. Or weight distribution is perfect. Very maneuverable. But still I'm afraid of bac issues are sure to come for operator.
Looks like he blew a hydraulic line right before the end of the video
Yep he did
i agree
My thoughts exactly damn cool piece of equipment tho
Im getting pissed just watching him run it, I damn sure wouldn't want to be inside it.
Why whats the problem

Make sure your battery hold down is in place.
That thing is a damn widow maker!!!!
Back in the 80s there was a man named alan drake that logged and had one of these bell cutters my brother could run the hell out of it

Hello Bohhica1: I think that's a covid cough.

Odd little machine looks like it should've come outa the soviet union during the cold War 😂
Yea they take a bit of getting use to .
I want one for the principal of the matter.
Nimble lil unit
Seems very small to do anything with any kind of bigger trees, and not to confident how it would handle mud?
Bet those were ruff
Looks to me like it's not efficient and just burns fuel
Maybe but if your getting old it's a way to keep moving
It doesn't even seem that is what it's designed for.
Maybe an orchard or something.
Exactly right. It works best in a pine tree plantation where trees are planted in rows
It works best as a sugar cane loader..it is used in mauritius like that...
Check the fuel and fill up the hydraulic tank !
You wood bee tired when your shift wiz over.
One weird machine.
Rube Goldberg was here
If that doesn’t look like a pita I don’t know what does
Wreck your back in no time 🤣
Looks pretty clumsy and awkward to maneuver and use
Too light in the rear. After it cut the tree it can't move it out of its way. Would much rather have a payloader set up or move to a tracked feller

I've seen one of these with tracks, not sure if someone made it that way or not though
God that thing is so creepy looking hahah
That thing was a bad design it's a death trap.
How? I could see it rolling over but the cage looks sturdy
Terrible
Junk
