Driving through industrial part of Everett Washington to avoid traffic on I-5 and ran across these oldies and one newbie. Also stumbled across the mill where we get our lumber from on San Juan island.
Ok thanks John yeah I’ll give it a go once I figure it out I’ll post a few pics of our 548, doosans and Deeres we’ve had.Hi Jimmy, welcome to HEF. Looking forward to seeing your pics, think you need to post 5 messages on here before it lets you upload photos, just in case you're scratching your head
Seems like there used to be a crane outfit in that yard... where the fat allis isDriving through industrial part of Everett Washington to avoid traffic on I-5 and ran across these oldies and one newbie. Also stumbled across the mill where we get our lumber from on San Juan island.
Yes it was a complete bottom swap. The attachment it used for silviculture work prepping blocks for new trees.That Hitachi looks great! Did you guys swap the undercarriage or was that already under it? What is the idea behind the attachment, it looks pretty interesting.
Bremcoe, good looking pair of excavators. For some reason I like the colour scheme on that series of Hitachi more than later ones.
The Hyundai looks very similar to a picture csquared posted on #2 of this thread. Apart from triple grousers and some pipework and protection on the boom, same machine?
Any more pics? !
Cheers.
Years later, but any more photos of the Hyundai? I think one of our owner operators owns that machine now.2001 Hyundai 210LC-3 high walker road builder summer 2008

I forgot to mention that this is a loader,a limber,and if the ground is easy enough it could be a road builderLet's get this page going againView attachment 200082
It's ok. Its not as easy to load with as the Peirce but it processed better. It loads small logs way better than big ones,and shirt loggers are a bit of a pain since the head pretty much takes up all the space between the bunks and blocks your view of the headache rack. Id rather load with a grapple but all in all once you get over the learning curve they do pretty goodHow does the grapple processor do loading? Can you load smaller timber quickly?
Average 12-17 minutes in small stuff. It's definitely not as fast as a shovel but it cuts the expense of a shovel,operator,and fuel.Yeah I've never seen a dangle head used to load, could get expensive in a hurry!
