Lucky You with 4 chains front and back. I've worked in worse conditions with just a pair on the back. Great job though, it went smoothly even where the armor plates were scraping the ground in some areas
I read lots of "wows" in the comments but no one seems to care about that poor terrain, that will be scarred for a long time now... this kind of job should be done preferably when the soil is dry or frozen (which must happen for the most part of winter in Lithuania) to prevent such "destruction". I understand interest in machinery, awe about HP, and considerations about operator efficiency, but logging isn't only about efficiency and power, it's also about respecting the environment in which you work. At least that's how I feel, as a privae woodland owner.
@@nikodevatio2710 Well even if you send in an excavator or a bulldozer to level off the terrain all you do is just making it "look OK" while in reality the soil underneath is compacted and will be for decades. Where I'm from they say "It takes a century to make up soil, it takes a couple minutes to destroy it". Compacted soil does not allow water to be soaked in and stored in the ground, dramatically increasing run-off. It prevents air to flow in and bring oxygen to underground organisms, it also prevents root and fungus growth... basically all aspects of a well functioning soil are destroyed after a poorly handled logging operation. No amount of "making it look good" can really fix that. Of course it's better than nothing - and I have done it myself - but the better thing to do, by far, is definitely to be careful during logging and just avoid it altogether when the ground is soaked (unless your soil contains a lot of rocks).
@@groovy_bear I get where You're coming from and I know all too well the damage that can be left behind. In order not to damage the terrain logging should only take place during summertime, but as we all know it, everyone has to make a living somehow. Where I work currently (private sector) we got mostly swampy areas, where we cut out ditch lines where then an excavator will dig a ditch to store all that runoff water from logging trails and from the forest itself. It's a known area that beavers used to frequent (old dams, they're completely relocated themselves they even found out where exactly) so we clear those old dams, build ditches and then wait until most water is collected and only then do logging (avoids most damage to the soil) By far this is the first company I know of who actually practice that. Could name a hundred others which don't
1110 has a 170 HP perkins engine. They are extremely powerfull, they don't need as much horsepower as say a car, the engine is big, has a lot of cylinders and is extremely low geared, comebine this with a 8x8 with a diff lock on every axle and you get a machine almost unstoppable

Nice video! Love the sound from the engine! Diesel Power!! :D
+TeamSummits' Thank you :)
Great video as alweys :) Difficult conditions;p
+rosolinnio Thank you :)
that sounds amazing, so you know what size and horsepower it is? and is it a deere or a cummins?

I don't know about your home country, but in Norway after the logging is done the damage is requiered to be fixed with a excavator
yea same here, they are even required to plant after logging.
Not sure where You're from but in Latvia we send in bulldozers to level out the main trail of the forwarder if the conditions are as harsh as these

The spreading of logs in 3:30 is fairly large. What have the harvester done....
+Timber Jack1210B These logs cut down by hands.
increadible video pls upload more with this vehicle :)
+Marek Slemenský-Malarkie OK :)
arunas i from latvia u cutting trhees or drive to tractor??
They need a boat instead of a Forwarder! ;)
+Harvester Forwarder & More :)
bagus.mungkin di indonesia bisa digunakan cocok di kalimantan / sumatra
whats the hp on a machine like that?
+Garrett Edwards There are usually about 160 h.p., but this forwarder is with increased power.
wow, they seem a lot tougher than that, i was thinking at least 400

pulls wood and drive mad skills
What part of the world is this ?
+Kevin Callender Lithuania in spring.
lol that poor terrain? You do know that they reclaim right? it wont take years to fix
