I know that log truck. . .. they draw wood from me as well

If I were you I would deffantly buy a slasher before a buncher. I always felt limbing, bucking and sorting were the most time consuming aspects of logging. 2 skidders cutting their own hitches can keep my hood fed all day as long as the skid isnt silly long. We run a cable and a grapple and...

Theres some pile of wood on that truck

I dont know an exact weight but they are HEAVY. a freind of mine has a 170 and it weighs more than my 460 tj and the timberjack is a whole size class bigger machine. i would stray away from a 405 they are pretty piggy

I run a hood with a circle saw about the size of the barko your talking about. When in slashing ill burn around 7-9 gal/hour depending on the size of the wood. loading trailers you can idle it down a bit and get down around 4-5gal/hr. a morbark 16 will be around 18-20 gal/hr if it has the big...

The 405's have 4 cyl cummins and a manual or powershift 4spd, little smaller in size to a 170. the 170s have a 6 bta with an 4spd power shift and bigger axles.

That looks more like Hickory to me

Just call up Finch papers procurement department. They will set you up with a vendors number and figure out your milage. Then find your self a good trucker and it will be all down hill from there.

What year is your truck, you dont see many that you can triple 8s on.

This is News to me when did this come about?. . . .The SFI can be a real pain in the ass some times, If your not cutting for a certified forester your outta luck.

Thats some nice looking pine on that load

I dont think youll see a price like that till spring time. Im at 36.50per in the 75 mile range to Finch add another 1.50 per ton for all the TLC and bs bonuses. Hemlock was creeping up there but it too has leveled out. Their yard is about 50% full and IP is only buying HW under contract.

Call Swinton's up, there up in glensfalls and can get you going in the right direction. Their number is in the phone book

A 6bt should fit with a manual trans. You would need to move your motor mounts forward a few inches and the clearance between the radiator and the fan is close, there are a few different fans you can run on the cummins and i would put the larger plastic one that runs off the idler pulley...

T-40 JD winch with a good arch is what you need on that 550. you could rig a gearomatic to work but that would be a serious down grade from the JD winch. Call up schaefer equip in IL. they will set you up.

Good luck, We send a good amount up to Rutland plywood in Vt but they have stopped buying for a few months and Finch paper in Glensfalls NY who will usually start buying in the pealing season said they arent going to take any this year. If your cutting Tulip Poplar I think Columbia plywood is...

All over, depends alot on the job and the wood. Mostly to local buyers unless there is alot then we sort and export.

Where are ya sending your pulp right now, thats some nice fire wood too. Our fire wood market is gone right now so its all going up to Finch. What are you getting a ton if you don't mind me asking?

If your talking about the ones in the ears on the rear half of the center section, they are just pressed in. beat them out with a sledge and carefully smack the new ones in using the old ones to hit against

I had a Bell with a dangle head that ran 3/4 and i would get cuts like that once in a while. I found that when i ground my rakers down that if i took a little off the sides it helped, allows the chain to tip out alittle more in the cut.
