    Looking To Get into Forestry For a Career

    yesir yeah h guess we don't got hills around here big enough for that lol. Ive ehard of people using chains but i know ive seen logs where it would be hard to get chokers under, and with a choker you got a lil leverage there to force with where as with a chain you can't do that.

    forwarders

    Forwarders-harvesters I just took a mechanized Forestry course, i ran a Rottnee Solid forwarder, a ponssee beaver harvester and a Hynudai escavator witha patu head.
