    Morning I work for a company in southern NH we do a lot of work for Kennebec Lumber. We’re actually on a hardwood lot down in Webster MA for them currently. Been taking advantage of the hot hardwood pulp market aswell! Been watching your stuff for awhile now never knew you contracted for them.

    Have a look at the youtube video title "Thomassen Logging 055 June 2018" Tigercat 880 with waratah 625 harvester head, fall and delimb. 635 skidder for long length stems trucked to log yard processing. (Logging system has been modified since this video) Can be harder on the processor track machine & operator to fall & process the larger trees in the cutover. Often more maintenance costs (bent bars etc) and potentially reduced time between processor rebuilds if the 'waratah type' processor head is used to fall trees larger & heavier than the small to medium-sized tree size (fall and process) harvester heads.(622 and below)

    Where we are we have many different stand types and densities with heavy under growth in the low density stands so a harvester cutting off the stump production numbers are just to up and down, with the buncher ahead the production is higher and more consistent

    Your guy in montville must be up on Frye mountain. That was my backyard as a kid spent a ton of time riding snowmobiles dirt bikes and 4 wheelers up there. I’m glad your business is taking off! I still buy all my stumpage myself do you find it more worth it to just work for a management company and not deal with the landowners and all the other stuff that comes along with it?

  • @pine8806

    Well that's a complicated question. I think if your just going to do 8 10 trailer loads a week you are probably better off to buy your own stumpage. For us I want to grow and there's no way we could do what we are doing without contracting with a good company

    Well said Jon. Many people dont give a new machine a chance. You need a fair amount of seat time to get to the same comfort level you had before. Demos can be more harmful then helpful as many dealers dont have the machine set up well and it leaves a bad taste. The electronics need to be experimented with to find what you like and many are scared to play but it is necessary. Regarding the def consumption. Weiler uses a non egr engine which is a great thing but it does have higher def consumption than deere. The consumption is in the middle of john deere and the new tigercats. Deere has the lowest def burn at the expense of the most fuel burn on this size class machine. Having accumalated 20,000 hrs on an 853mh and now clocking in 4800hrs in one year with an H457 I can say and prove that the huge fuel savings on the weiler compared to the deere even factoring in the increased def consumption nets me a savings of over $30,000 annually on my double shifted operation.
