Ponsse thinning a Douglas Fir stand...CTL...drone footage

Cut to length operation using Ponsse mechanized harvesting machines

What a nice stand! Brilliant respacing job, will set it up for some lovely sawlogs in future. Must be a tight fit loading those long pieces onto the forwarder though - what length are they? Here in the UK this sort of material would usually go for fencing or biomass and would be cut to somewhere around 2 - 2.5m.

Can't beat a Ponsse. I would however recommend getting a new reel cover for the crane. I know they aren't cheap, but the reel and bracket stuff is even more expensive. When you're in a tighter thinning like that, it's really easy to hit it if you aren't careful. I would love to do ctl in the Pacific Northwest
