That thing is awesome. Love how it strips off the bark too, all in 40 seconds. The tree huggers gotta hate that.

man this guy got a gravy job, it is easy to run new equipment in a pine plantation. get a lot of wood out. just after the tree is cut the computer takes over and delimbs / debarks the tree at the same time it is scaling the tree then returns to but end and starts cutting to dimension.

this type of machine ruined the logging industry in my area. loggers went out and got huge loans and bought 2 of these at a time. they flooded the markets, the mills quit buying, loggers went bankrupt. yes they are neet machines, when used properly.

It's still a cool machine. Watching it pick up and strip the trees--it's hard to believe those are living things. Wow!

wow eh. Go to youtube and see some real processors. the feed speed on that thing is nuts since it is a tooth pick goin thru it that weighs nothing. We throw tops out bigger then those trees. but we all gotta log.
