Hi guys, just wondering what the price is nowadays for a new Madill 172 yarder
Used 172's are $700-1.1M USD.Hi guys, just wondering what the price is nowadays for a new Madill 172 yarder
Falcon seem to be an ambitious hi-tech company, I remember professor Rien Visser from NZ presenting their grapple carriage on a forest engineering symposium here in Norway in 2013. Then we (or at least I) actually discussed if you could put a laser scanner into the carriage and build a 3D-model of the logs under the skyline, hence fully automatizing the yarding cycle.
While it is obviously correct that the world needs new yarders it is a step from refurbishing 171's to building complete new machines. And there will allways be prototype disadvantages encumbered with the first production models. Still it seems for me to be a pretty decent alternative.
What price do they ask for a Falcon 70, Darren?
