I have a 3000 madill with a denharco 4400 stroker on it and it runs most every day in OregonPro pac owns the market in the northeast. Can’t remember the last time I saw a functioning delimber of another brand. They are definitely a high maintenance machine. My biggest complaint is that no 2 are the same and what I mean is that if this is John Deere week they will hack into the wiring and hydraulics wherever is convenient and there is no rhyme or reason behind it. Basically what happens is that the dealer will order the delimber and then pro pac will remove the excavator boom and install the delimber, cab riser, cat walk, etc. then they roughly plumb it up and send it to the dealer who spends days fine tuning it to run efficiently.
Pierce has sold two new stroke delimber units in the last 3 years. I don't even know why they continue to build them. They were a great machine and I wish more people still used them but the fact of the matter is they're just slower, more complex and take a hell of a lot more room than a dangle head.Has everyone gone to processor heads?
Work better on crooked logs, at least in my experience. The outift I worked with had an 80s Komatsu 220 setup as a stroke delimber. Worked well for being tired iron.Pierce has sold two new stroke delimber units in the last 3 years. I don't even know why they continue to build them.

I missed that--in Vantage--harvesting petrified wood.I saw one of these on a lowboy climbing up out of Vantage slowly. It looked like a heavy load.
That machine was on my little salesman for sale a few months ago. Super low hours on a 2022I missed that--in Vantage--harvesting petrified wood.
No different than through any of its other range of motionthose straight boom and sticks, how hard is it on the boom cylinder mounts when fully extended and layed out to rake logs back towards the machine
