@davidhaley7053

Chain lasts until you saw dirt or a rock. Aspen is for pulp to make paper.

First thin? Or second? Looks like a nice stand and very easy to do with the short lengths. Do the 1270D’s have the sequential cutting where your hands stay on the joysticks for cutting, processing, and then bucking?

@davidhaley7053

5 жыл бұрын

It's a first thin. Yes it does.

Insane how quickly that chainsaw slices though the wood... is it because its going so fast like much faster than a handheld one or is it the downward force as its cutting?

You're lucky to still have a market for pulp wood.Here in Maine several paper mills have gone out of business in the last few years,along with a lot of good paying jobs.The ones that are left are struggling to stay afloat.No telling if this part of our economy will stay alive or not.

This is the fifth harvester that I have bought from him in the last 25years. This one just turned 11,000 hours on it last week. I've been running this one for the past 8 years. I think it's the only one in the world as of now. It's only a 80 hp machine and is really easy on fuel. In wood like you guys were cutting I usually average about 5 to 6 cords per hour. The nice part about this machine is that it only costed about 140,000 dollars when it was new. Anything else at that time was around 400,000 dollars. And you know what they want for them now!!
