It's great to see CTL working in the south. So many people have said it would never work, but it seems there's quite a few loggers using it successfully now. Great work, you've got a nice setup there!
Thanks and it’s been a struggle between mills and landowners cause of the tree length mentality. But log mills are loving the logs ,2 even gave us our own chip-n-saw spec . And as for landowners they finally see the value more logs and cleaner and nicer looking job sites vs tree length. At the moment got a family with probably 7-8 thousand acres been cutting for almost a year now and no end in site .
Yeah is nice to see, i are from Scandinavia (swe). Fun fact ponsse still do their own. The same as Ecolog, Rottne. TigerCat bought an small manufacturer in Sweden. Komatsu bought Valmet. John Deere, timberjack. And as i understand it as mentioned that CTL we to slow processing.. but if you take the same amount of people and rigs Well.. And in Europe the logging trucks, are equipped with their own cranes for self loading.
Just found your videos. Im from Northern Ontario Canada, and would like to know your experience with harvesters, we run a 2014 ecolog580b, and want to upgrade but not sure what to go with.. We have a f15d rottne and thats great but their harvesters you sit behind the boom.. Id love to see some videos of you explaining the scorpion king and the difference between harvesters you ran in the past. By the way we are logging veneer hardwood, maple and yellow birch some cherry, big trees and to me the harvesters arent great but it leaves the option to do pine thinnings
Thanks for the reply. I’m in north Alabama just a small logger in hardwood just seems to me more people would do that around here. But they say it won’t work here🤷♂️. but looks like y’all are making it look easy!
