This monstrosity must have been the inspiration for the machines in Avatar. Always surprised LeTourneau survived so long building such low-volume niche machines.
Built two of them for use on clearing trees in advance of the w.a.c. Bennett dam, near Hudson' Hope, BC on what became Williston Lake. It did not work all that well, and they gave up on using them.
Excelente Video.....mi Padre fue operador de una de ellas a la edad de 22 años......yo aún no nacía....es emocionante verlas trabajar:: a él le tocó limpiar 6 hectareas en el sur de Veracruz para abrirlas al cultivo de caña de azúcar ,,,,,,aún vive para contar su historia....y las nuevas generaciones no creen que se fabricarán máquinas de ese tamaño.,

Would’ve liked to hear the machine instead of talk.
Then they built a mall that went bust and became a mega church for Guatamalan immigrants.
So?
All that board feet of lumber crushed and rotted only to create pasture that will be useless in a decade. Waste
What makes you think it will be useless? There's no reason that pasture couldn't be maintained and improved for decades.
Big mess
lets build an army of that to definitely get read of all those useless rain Forrests.
