120 on the move
A nice and quick move of the 120. It was off highway so the cab did not need to be tiped. On highway we just tip the cab and still leave the boom on.
Murk; you will be interested to know 12009, ex Gwinn and Sons, has been put to work down here. I have a few photos from in the workshop and will go get a few action shots in the near future.

Just to keep you guys entertained, can you figure out what the head on this machine does? I'm sure most of you know already.
Video of this machine will be going up on my youtube channel, the link is in my signature.
I guess the last picture kinda gives it away

Looks like a rolly chipper or something similar. I hadn't every seen anyone actually use one for ROW til now.

You are correct. Feeds the log into a big toothed roller and it chips. Madill 2250B. What weird is that there was a 50% road ban on at the time these were taken, I guess Hydro has some bribe money

Madill 3200B. Getting track floaters replaced.
Hauer Bros. Mill, pictures taken in April 2011, owned and operated by Hauer Bros of Valemount BC.

I snapped some pics of that very machine today just for you

WOW! Thanks! So you know Dan Cuddeback? Isn't that his machine? That machine is in Tete Jaune, thats where I'm from. My property is right across from Hauer Bros mill.

Uhh...no.
I guess I found it's twin.

Haha, I guess so, where did you happen to find this twin?

Never seen anything like that dangle head before, but I'm not too updated. I'm going to the Austrofoma show in oktober, main theme is bio/fuel wood. Guess I will get an update there.

Talking with some folks in the know,they have a lot of catching up to do in comparison with their direct competition.
Rumours of starting on bunchers early 2012.....maybe the new owners can come up with one that doesn't catch fire once the warranty is up......kidding......kinda.

Could Be The Plan......
Maybe they're designed to catch fire when the warranty is up - just because things are going to get expensive.....
In the aviation world, we use hydraulic fluid that is flame resistant -works very well from what I can see. It doesn't light off but seems to cooks onto the offending area. I'm surprised that they haven't gone this route now that hydraulics is the primary drive source in so many of these machines. The downside to this stuff is not to get it on your hands and touch what I would describe as being your sensitive body areas, because it burns for hours...

Aircraft oils is nice, for their intended purpose...
They are made to function in very cold conditions, means they are thin.(its very cold up there)
Some of them then don't work very vell in normal and hotter temps.(because they are so thin)
Some are in fact based on water...to be flame resistant.
And then some of them has some nasty aditives to have those special caracteristics.
H-544 is a type used in military equipment, and it causes cancer if you inhale gasses from it....
Its cheaper and easier to do your regular maintenance, and clean up the engine room, instead of designing your equipment for those oils...
We talk about new pumps, filters, bigger cooler, special valves, special o-rings, special hoses, special everything...
Most main battle tanks use electric systems instead of hydraulics.(turret and gun controlls)

My hydraulic fluid preference is something that we call Skydrol - which is a synthetic based material. Contrary to what you say, these fluids do achieve high temperatures in certain instances, even at altitude due to their very high running pressures. Often small radiators are employed to provide the necessary cooling and the reservoir temperatures are monitored and displayed in the cockpit area. Their low viscosity is due to their requirement to move through narrow lines to the aircraft extremities to provide the work required - not to prevent gelling and possible freezing. I don't know your technical background but I have to disagree with your pronouncements. As for developments in pumps, seals and other hardware to provide containment, I rarely see hydraulic failures though they do occur in actuators and supply lines and other assorted bits. They pretty well have the science down pat. Fires - I have never seen a hydraulic fire caused by this fluid even though on occasion I have witnessed Skydrol coating extremely hot turbomachinery sections on modern engines. As for electrical systems, I do see more of this creaping into what I do but with that comes required higher level of maintenance and care - something that I think the forest industry might find difficult to provide in the conditions that they operate.

071 in Tillamook
This is the third yarder I found today a Madill 071 that appears to be still owned by the original purchaser in Tillamook, Oregon. Just down for repair right now. serial # 70038
