Extremely skilled engineer! He's fast and efficient and knows his machine very well. Wondering if he has a guy in the brush guiding him by radio or if he has line of sight.
@@horus2153 no not really the 044 was the one swing machine that can log without guys,, knew a operator in alaska run grapples all the time without a guy until he would get into hard pulls then throw one out, ive had back track of a 44 2 feet off the ground in a hard pull ,, just got to ease out of it slowly!!
@@matthewmcmillion9016 wicked must be quite a heavy machine yeah the o44 i drive a 124 always run atleast 2 guy ropes radiata pine here in New Zealand is heavy wood though we pull full stems dont buck our wood
That's a really great footage the operator makes it look really easy it takes a lot of skill to do what he's doing
