YUP...I grew up in the Glades and never saw Logging on a commercial scale.
First time I saw it in Taylor county I was pretty amazed.
Now it's old hat but for first timers it's pretty dang cool.

The one pictured has the same basic head that's on a feller-buncher whereas the Ponsse has a head that measures, delimbs and cuts to lengths. It will be a real learning experience for us. Though.....it comes down to whether the loggers think that it offers advantages to them, something I surely can not answer. As things progress I'll post a few videos that will hopefully show what's happening. It is open to the public so if someone was just interested in how heavy equipment of this sort operated I think they could have a look. |
