Overload of the Day
I'm pretty sure that was in New Brunswick. We still have a few covered bridges and that one had a weight capacity that was obviously ignored. -

Crawlers I photo'd recently.
I'm with Truck Shop, best to have memories than material. Material is fine as long as it's still useable and doesn't require more wrench time, part searching than usage. I had a fast car in my 20's that I thought a few times that would be fun to be have again. I drove in a similar car and it... -

Looking to buy a log champ yarder, is this engine exportable?
Purchase Orders are a legal document in Canada. But they are often treated as a invitation to negotiation. Keep us informed Hallback ( if you can) on the outcome.- Dom

Memories for us old truckers

Is it the build date of the machine or the engine that matters? I would assume the machine.- Dom

Overload of the Day
Things are alot better over here for old farmers gear on the road. The old joke used to be that when a highway truck is completely worn and not longer safe, it gets converted to a dump truck until its dead. Then the farmer resurrects the dump truck into a potato truck. Happily we do not see... -

Building a custom excavator
Right, it was a 4 cyl. See, my memory is fading hahaha. We had a similar loader on the Rocan Enviro, which was a wheeled harvester for thinning. They both ran the Logmax 3000 sized harvesting head. Enjoy the Neuson, its a nice machine! I saw one on the roadside last summer, but I can't recall...- Dom

Building a custom excavator
I worked for Rocan Forestry and we likely imported that Neuson. We were the North American rep for Neuson forestry products, which later got named MHT. I imagine it has a deutz 5 Cyl? They were great thinning machines. The parallel loader worked great. Just be careful with the log swing base...- Dom

Shipping Costs?
Every Country that I know of wants the machines ultra clean. They did not want invasive species. Even small insects/bugs can be an issue. Speaking for Canada, usually if the machine was washed, but there's still debris in hidden spots like the undercarriage, belly pan, Customs will have the...- Dom

How much can you overload a truck before breaking things?
My uncle told me once that my cousin had overloaded a manure spreader and the feeder chain broke. The spreader had to unloaded by shovel so the feeder could be fixed. Ever since that story, I do not overload anything. The risk for return is simply not worth it. -

Processor Controls on a Logmax 7000XT
Logmax in our area uses Motomit or Logmate software. Both have different requirements for controls. The levers of choice used to be Suregrip L Handle with an extra keypad added to it on one side. That might be different nowadays, as I know machines coming from the factory can have Parker IQAN...- Dom

Processor Controls on a Logmax 7000XT
I agree 100%. You should get training on the product, and the trainer should also demo how to be efficient with the machine.- Dom

Do you know what is this?
Funny how my father bought a tractor with a cab/heater as soon as I moved out. He also bought a ZTR mower to cut his mowing time in half. :rolleyes: There were a few 353's in my area, but none with that enclosure and none in that good of a shape. It could be something homemade, or made...- Dom

Universal Tractors
I think they use ford components. There are a few in my area, and they seemed to stand the test of time. I would go with something a bit more main brand just to make sure you can still get parts.- Dom

BC logging equipment left to rust
I did not have much time to look hard, and mainly stuck to the main roads. I drove from Victoria to Port Renfrew, then took a road from Port Renfrew to Dundas. I did go to Englishman River Falls too. Lovely place, and the people were really nice too!- Dom
