    British Columbia built logging equipment, obscure makes....

    Ax Men 2010-2011 season

    I heard Lemare comes into the picture down the road. I cannot wait. Cant believe it as they will have to break the BC law to satisfy the Tv crews, lol. Just my hunch but they probably come in late as they will surpass the total load count in 6 episodes. Alaska seems good too. What kind of yarder...

    Which is a better delimber? Volvo or Doosan?

    The production numbers on a stroker just cant even come close to a waratah. Different planet. We got 4 (622B, 624 and 2 x 624C) and the operators use to run strokers in the interior, they dont even understand why they are still made. Contract logger hits pretty close to home on the volvo...

    grapple yarder

    we (the boss) are on the hunt for a grapple yarder, 123/124/6280 or 7280. We are on vancouver island. We are talking to the Regulars but if there are any private deals out there drop me a line. We'll shoot straight and pay in full no problems.

    New JD "K" bunchers.

    depending on what model you are looking at, other wise the new K all pretty much have more HP, a killer computer system that is SO easy and in full color, new cab with more vents, better window layouts, better sight lines, new air ride seats and few minor items.

    Volvos New Machine

    Yes i hear you. This to me sums it up that it may be a very, very long time until we see a new brand of anything. WIth volvo giving up and madill's demise, direct gone c/o volvo, Who in their right mind would invest in say designing a new f/buncher? or a new tilter harvester? or better yet, a...
