    Directional Felling Grapple

    Another option would be our Trinder Felling head, it has a retractable saw box to aid shovel logging, loading out and pulling wind fallen timber. Same head is used on the ClimbMax steep slope harvester

    Our new Forestry excavator builds

    Hi Paul We have done builds for the Ewers down here, not sure of the numbers however. To be fair we do have them spread around the country so it could be one of ours you are thinking off... got any pics? Cheers

    Our new Forestry excavator builds

    Plebeian is correct, whilst we use a range of sizes generally between 6-8mm we also use different grades of plate to increase the strength, whilst keeping down the weight. I will see if I can dig out a pic of a bonnet being fabricated

    Steep slope forestry harvester (fell, bunch n shovel log)

    We build these machines for ClimbMax Equipment - they are purpose built and approved to work on slopes up to 45 degrees (or 100% if you prefer). The base machine roll in, gets dismantled and chopped, fully rebuilt, and pimped for the rigors of steep slope felling and bunching... I'm sure...
