that is impressive watching the log max work. that must take a real long time to get so good at. are there guys that come ocer from the general excavation field and run log loaders and such and work in the timber industry? i guess it is all part of the job up in the pnw. i have always been interested in logging road contruction and such. i don't know how busy you guys are and where the demand for timber is, but would guess that with how slow it is here that is is slow as well. but i know canada is doing well now and there is an export market.
thanks for the neat fotos.

regards, cd

That operator has been with us for over 15 years starting with a Denis Stroker, moved to a Limmit stroker and this is our 4th Log Max. Processing timber is not all in running the machine the operator has to merchandise every stick to maximize return and quality.

We are busy, the export markets are a big influence on our production here.

Should have been nosy and gone over and asked who it was. But I was focused on getting the yarder pictures over in the T-Bird thread.
