Those are some interesting tree machines. That last pic looks like and office with game controls instead of the cab of the machine I like the pens/penciles in the corner in the cup.

Workplace?

I Agree with you Cat320 wouldnt know what to do there:beatsme
Gps tells the operator where the logs are going,where to cut,lenght to
cut the trees on. Only has to wake up get a cup of coffe and set the machine to do the thinking.
Would be fun to try it dont you think?

Looks cleaner than most offices. It looks there is a camera to the right of the monitor? wonder what that would be for?

Those controls are very easy to learn, at least on the Ponsse Because they are programmable to the operators spec. most of the buttons are tree type and grade, very fun to operate though.

I'll bet the operator spends quite some time getting trained on one of those harvesters, looks like an excavator and office cubicle had a short but heavy romance!

Sorry for the delay! I got involved with regular maintenance issues here and it got shuffled to the back burner.


Thanks, Steve. The Forest lovers appreciate it!!:drinkup


It would take me a long time to get proficient in that ponsse harvester, I'd probably end up on HEF and not get much wood cut!!

The Computer systems is based on windows and is very high tech, and over in Europe the saw mill can send the specs that it wants the wood to be cut at to the machine before the operator even starts and it will be loaded into the system.

Awesome pics!!! Always wondered about logging machines. Anyone have any idea what it is like to operate them at all. Been thinking about it for awhile and just wondered if anyone had any experience with it. Thanks

ive been told that it takes around 6 months to learn how to use a feller buncher. pay is aparently good for experienced harvesters though, starting pay around me is about 50-60 thousand a yr.
