Does any one have pictures of feller bunchers converted to road builders?

Is this kinda what you had in mind? This thing used to be a feller buncher that they turned back into a road builder...

The NZ/ Aus Komatsu Forestry excavator conversions are most likely completed by 'Electrical and Machinery Service', Rotorua NZ (EMS for short).
Combined with Ensign, they do the Woodsmanpro harvesting/processing heads.

Looking at the Komatsu -it is a combination of supplied parts - auto-greaser, fire suppression, Waratah head etc

I was out at the pc 400 yesterday while the komatsu mechanic was doing some warranty work.

He was pretty sure it's EMS that does the conversion.

the operator is loving it, he reckons it runs the head better than the timbco 475 he was in before.
