About 10 years ago the power company used one of those cut it and move it thingies at the beginning of the video to remove 80-100 60+ foot tall pines at the edge of our property. They paid us big bucks for the trees and had the trees down and ground up in about a day and a half. Only one guy in the crew was qualified to run it and spent a lot of time sitting and waiting for the rest of the guys to catch up with the work he created. It was quite a sight to see a 60' pine traveling upright 75 yards to the chipper. Bob
They used one to clear the well pad and line. Had good wood for a few years.
I have more than just a few of them.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
A Sawzall and sledge hammer and I am good to go to demolish.
This is a pretty good saw video.
Thanks Ricci, I set and watched it all. The logging/lumbering at the start is all local here, and I know or know of all those people. The Feller-Buncher is also known as a roto-saw, but I just call them a weed whacker. As an aside, I know the nephew of the guy that invented chainsaw chain, and founded the Oregon company.
HPD, I'm not 100% but I think one of those machines is what Tom Narrance was operating that last I spoke with him.

Mule, Actually Tom runs a log processor, that limbs, measures, and bucks the logs after the trees are logged to the landing. The Waratah processor is capable of falling trees, but it's not meant to do that on a full time basis. BTW I had a visit with Tom about a month ago. He and his wife are doing well.
