Is squirt a name for the foot attachment, or just a general term for a small harvester LOL ?

This is the one I wanted, but had to get the sensible squirt for thinnings!

A squirt boom is the piece that slides in and out as an extension boom allowing for more reach. This video has a pretty good view of one as a foot/extension.

Ah, got it.
That Kesla boom is exactly what I am thinking of. Will go and Google search that, great video, thanks.
Yes, Neuson machines look very good, two main things that have stopped me from getting one is they are simply not common here so would have to be new machine without local backup (= too expensive). The other thing is that a Hyundai 15 tonne converted excavator can be used for many roles beyond thinnings harvesting, which for me means a grapple for handling bigger logs, a bucket of course, and a rake when I get one. Also got good local back up on the brand.
I can imagine the Neuson would be a whole different experience as a harvester though.
Cheers mate, John.
Edit: I've actually been looking out for a used Neuson the last couple of years, but not come across one.

Didn't see this the first time through.
Do you mean for setting diameter calibration? For weekly checks of the diameter sensors /calibration etc. a set of calipers make it quicker. The head is being calibrated some time this week hopefully with the pipe calibration method, which is apparently good enough.

Thanks Mike!
It's in the woods loading under one of our towers on a skyline thinning operation.
I have a Hitachi 310 that is ready to be delivered any day now also. I will post that one when it hits the dirt.

Thanks John. While I would love to say we are really killing it and making huge money, we are not. These last two winters have been a rascal but there is always today!

I've been told a couple of times now how tough it is in the logging industry now days. For now though I'm seeing lots of loaded logging trucks on the highways. Best of luck to you.

98% of us are just turning dollars to have a job. Hopefully that changes.
