That’s nice that you can haul long logs.

It is, only thing is it’s probably hard on that old girl we tried talking them into letting use a clambunk but a no drag policy killed that idea pretty quick.

That must be a little more difficult to maneuver in a thinning I would imagine.

Either way it’s a good learning experience, I can say if stuff isn’t dead perfect straight the trail has to be wider because of the tail sweep.
It’s like the old saying you can have 2 of the 3 but not all 3, you can have tight and straight, tight with trying to missing the best but have some tail sweep damage, or a little wider in spots where needed for ground conditions like old/2nd growth stumps pitch changes that the bunks will hook something.

It sure made it more versatile. You’re not limited to just the shorties. Do you guys have a shovel for loading?

Oh yeah a 93 Kobelco 200 that hasn’t cost us much to keep running over the years and is super easy on fuel. One of the local companies is loading 36’s with a forwarder but it’s sure a bugger to do plus the landings need to be bigger as well as they normally run on the roads year round.

They seem like pretty good shovels. I’ll have to get some more pictures of some H&W equipment. Ancient Koehring shovels, to brand new Doosans.

A buncher with the rite guy running it can really leave a nice looking canopy when your done.

It looks like he tries to leave it in good shape.

I haven’t ran equipment enough to have much of an opinion. Bunched for a week, and shovel for a week. I log on our own place with a cat, but a power-saw is what I run daily. I sure liked the buncher though.
