Wood that big is a pain in the butt with any processor. I'd take the size wood you're in over the really big stuff any day especially for, this redwood is so brittle. You have to be very careful loading the smaller ones or you just end up with a bunch of chunks. Fir you can get a little more western with.

Is that yours, hallback? We don’t see a bunch of link belt out here on the east coast.

I don't know Curtis but worked with Jay when he was at NC. I think he stepped up when he took the job with Triad.

Thanks.
It's pretty quick. It's close for sure. Stick boom needs some tweaking but so far it's very good to excellent in all categories.

Nice. We don't have too many link belts in our area. I e of our contractors has a 4640 and said I could try it out but I haven't got around to it yet. I've ran a few 4040s at the Eugene log show and a couple 3740s at another log show and from the little I've run them I like them and rlthe cans are very user friendly
