How do you like that southstar? Most guys in my neck of the woods run gp heads.

 

[hoechucker]

I like it better than trying to load with a regular processor. I think the gp would be a lot easier to load with but this 635 will process a pretty big tree. I only have about 10 minutes on a gp so I'm shirr on experience with it. I've been on this one for 2 years and I really like it. Very little down time

 

[Hallback]

After having both southstar and waratah heads I prefer orange and black.

 

[hoechucker]

Me too. I like how they are set up under the hood and once we got the locker in here I love the 4x4. The angle of the top bar is also a plus, seems to keeps the bar from getting dinged up. With 3500 hours on it I'm very pleased with it

I'm not sure of the serial number but it's a three guy line machine. I think our other one came with two and we added the third. If I remember I could get the numbers off of both on Monday

We do have an interesting yarder that is one of two made. One was labeled Thunderbird 255b and ours was branded madill 255b. Both are now madill

 

[hoechucker]

Original madill 255b

I asked about that 124 and looked for a tag but it fell off. The mechanics say that it might be 12417? Or 124017? It was purchased from interfor and came to us with 3 guylines.

 

[prolog nz]

My 12315 570hp series 60 plus an endless list of upgrades

 

[prolog nz]

Also looking for another yarder. Preferably 122 or 123 if anyone knows of one available NZ or BC

 

[Former Wrench]

That is a good looking machine.

 

[furpo]

Looking good prolog. Definitely come a long way since you brought it. Must be time for you to buy a new one.

Looks like.a.nice 122 in the Supply Post and a couple of 6280s and a 123 with a 5 speed allison. Those new 124 are nice too.
