Tigercat Harvester working near Plocton on the west coast of Scotland. Harvesting some nice Spruce and ending up on a steep slope doing some small larch.
This is my first time seeing logging with this kind of machinery... it's incredibly powerful... people are so good at making tools! I wonder, if there is something very vital lost when we don't actually touch things with our hands... it's a pretty simple point I'm making here... all those people who will be using the lumber that the harvester cut will likely have very little apreciation for it since they didn't touch it, didn't make it - only bought that finished product, a desk @ Ikea, may be. You feel me? I've been cutting and splitting my own firewood for the first time ever and I'm loving it...
I think it is more a processor being used as a harvester, and its just about as it's limit on that timber. Cool watching how different folks approach felling.
The forwarder is a 890 Valmet , due to the restrictions at the stacking area the forwarder is about 5 weeks behind the Tigercat Harvester and he is having to carry allot of brash to fill in the wet ares so that takes up allot of his time.
Hi Daniel, A Tigercat Harvester would cost approx £320,000,00 Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand Pounds........Allot of money, But you can get them secound hand anything from £80,000,00 all the way up.

Why spend the extra money on a leveller? Just buy a flat bottom. Save a bit of money that way. And put a waratah 622 head on it
disgusting..
