    Gawd help me... We are considering getting a log truck

    Sure, we are a contract logging company currently working for a major landowner here in the NW. While we do have a yearly master contract all of our operations are done with a understanding that the current logging site may be the last one. Scott S

    Washington Iron Works Feller Buncher / Allied Tree Harvester (ATH 28)

    I cut with one a little bit as a demo in the mid 90's, as I recall it would handle a pretty large stem for the times. On a flight back from Denver I sat next to the engineer for Allied, he told me the last one built never sold and was parted out and cut up for scrap. Scott S
