thats so awsome

 

[HCF]

Thanks. I just ordered a Valmet feller buncher and will put some pics of it up on my photobucket album. I'm pretty excited to get it. I have seen pictures of it and hope it lives up to my expectations.

o i just customized a 330d to a 330d fm

 

[HCF]

Nice. My dad owns a reforestation company and we are getting ready to buy either a 2054 Deere or a 320 Cat forestry road builder for piling brush. As you may assume I will have to customize a model so I can have one too. Haha. I just think that this model stuff is great. Some people can really make just about anything.

 

[HITACHI350]

the thing i love the most is the boom suport on your lowboy i want to do that but i got the t800w and i dont want to glue stuff to it yet

 

[HCF]

Yeah. I have had this lowboy for a couple months now and still am not sure if I'll regret gluing that on there. I think it will be fine. How do you like that sword truck? I heard that they're worth the money.

 

[HITACHI350]

i love it great detail i got it from dhs the were have it as a deal of the days for 150 so thats an offer i just couldnt refuse heres some pics of it in action this my website mine is the black t800w http://raccoon370customs.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=105247921

 

[HCF]

Yeah. That is a great deal for that set up. What undercarriage did you use for your 330 build? Is that a 2954 uc with an additional spacer under the circle?

 

[HITACHI350]

yes it is and i did use spacers

 

[HCF]

nice. where do you get all your parts? do you just buy the whole model and take it apart? I am in the process of trying to find one of those waratah dangle head processors off the 2954 deere models for a little bit of custom work im thinking about doing.

 

[HITACHI350]

o i truned my head it to a button top processor

 

[HCF]

Are there pics of it on your website? Sounds interesting. I'm thinking about taking a 2954 and turning it into a Madill. I think a Madill model would be epic. Have you ever seen any yarder models in 1:50?

 

[HITACHI350]

i have never seen one that would be cool a yarder so cool

I was also of thinking of changing my Deere into a Madill, you would only really need to change the cab roof and panels, everything else is decals and paint. :exactly
:thumbsup
:iagree

 

[HCF]

Yeah. The Madill machines were hyundais in the early years I think. I would have to go all out and build a newer square one. I'm working on a 5th wheel hayrack trailer. Pretty simple build. Just need to get the rest of the parts. I wish norscot would suck it up and make some of Caterpillars forestry machines.

They used to make Cat forest machines, they only make the skidder now. The old madill bunchers were Komatsu i think, not entirely sure. Go to the first link on my signature below to see my diorama on youtube. It's logging.

 

[HITACHI350]

no komatsu ownes timbco(feller) and velmet(posseser), madill's havent been made sence 2006 or something not sure i have to check that out

 

[HCF]

The last madill machine to leave the naniamo plant left in '08. The older shovels were on import carriers a lot like the old thunderbird log loaders and road builders. Madill is actually being purchased from Modern Machinery (they purchased madill after they went bankrupt) by Nicholson Mfg Ltd up on Vancouver island BC. it's all on the last page of the Madill thread. Contract Logger knows people on both sides of the deal. It's pretty sweet. If I'm not mistaken the last machine to leave the plant was a 2250 feller buncher. Like I said. Not for sure but it's all in the Madill thread.

Looks good. I think I have seen your videos before : )
I always enjoy stop motion videos. I don't have the patience for that stuff.
