Andrew Dorcas I own the deere and the quadco products in identical application on jd bunchers. The cost of ownership of a deere fr24 is far and above the quadco. parts availability fir quadco is much better and the heads are much more reliable.
So isn't this double work now ? Wouldn't a feller de-limber be more efficient ? And you astill have to have a transport to navigate those taller stumps. Now these questions come from a guy who love's machinery, but hasn't a clue about this kind of logging.
Not a logger, but done some reading. It'd gonna depend on how many people you've got on the crew and how much lumber you're cutting. A harvester that's fells and delimbs is way more expensive to start, so issue one. Secondly if you have the crew and resources, having another machine or machines running at the same time processing the lumber, means the guy cutting is only cutting. Having separate operators doing separate task will in the end produce more processed lumber in a given amount of time, then having one operator doing multiple tasks. Yes you have to handle the tree more times, and certainly overall cost of the operations is higher (1 really expensive machine vs 3+ kinda pricey machines), but the production can be a lot higher as a harvester will never cut as much wood as a dedicated felling machine will.
What's this on the boom have we all of a sudden decided that 300' is a safe distance now, or is it because everyone wants to go 'metric' now. I have seen 'dodgy' trees do a 'domino effect' and you definitely want to be back 500' especially if the tops snap off and head in a different direction.
Price probably, - give me a Tigercat any day. Mind you strip the paint off and they look virtually the same, didn't like the tracks though, not a lot of use on a slippery hillside, - (road tracks?).
I own the tigercat deere and quadco products in identical applications on john deere, tigercat and madill bunchers. The cost of ownership of a deere fr24b is far and above the quadco and tigercat. parts availability for quadco is much better than both and the heads are much more reliable day to day.
who to hell running this thing the salesman? needs some training. anyone can cut a tree. take little pride in u work bozo. I'd be embarrassed if my work looked like that.
Tyler Roy if I was on a skidder on that job we would have to have a talk about those tall stumps I have operated s wheel machine and a track machine and I have never been that inconsiderate of my skidder men
That head works very well! Good video!
Nice head and machine
love all the wispy shit you lay in with the bundles lol.
Hi how are you doing
Nice video!
Nice machine, just needs a operator

Why did you choose a quadco head over a Deere head?
Kevin Callender why would anyone choose a Deere over a Tigercat

First day, new machine, new head. Give the op a break.
Oh yeah and fly by wire controls not pilot like he was used too.
FIRST OFF WHY IS HE STARTING AT THE FRONT OF THE UNIT!? SHOULD ALWAY START IN THE BACK!
David Gokey looks like a nervous first time operator on a relatively new machine .Deere staff ,and owner probably watching
