A much better machine than a 527. More weight & more power in not much bigger of a package.

We had a nice view taking down some old Siberian Elms last week. Nothing remarkable, just a nice day.

Caught some fat ones today. Camera is behaving better maybe because it's a balmy 12*F.

Gathers timber threw out the cut , and brings it to the landing,

That looks great! I love seeing mechanically harvested ground that’s not completely destroyed. I know it’s not a spot where you’re tethering a feller buncher, but still, that’s a really squared away operation.

Never seen one

They move logs to a landing. They’re really popular in pulpwood/smaller stems, matched to cut-to-length harvesters. CTL keeps the logs short and light so those machines thrive. The harvesters are also small, light and have a small footprint compared to a standard feller buncher/skidder setup.

Had to find some vids
I couldn’t tell much from the pics. So, mainly to get into tight areas for smaller timber transport to the landing.
