Wow Ron,

        I have run and seen my share of bunchers but never a Hydro-Ax with a boom,thats a strange machine..How do it compare to using a 445 Timco or something to that effect?

                                 Thanks Rob.

 Ah I just noticed it's a processor not just a buncher wow now thats really weird.. :oWhoever owns it how do they like it??

Ron Scott

Cook's Forest Products, Harrison, MI owns the Hydro-Ax processor. Its ok for the job intended, red pine plantation, first thinning.

It can process different product lengths and sizes to readily satisfy current market demand. Its wood utilization and slash removal is good. I'll get more photos of it in action.

Last fall there was a TJ 1010 working on a woodlot next to ours. The land is very wet  and soft but he didn't do much rutting, he didn't have chains or those track chains on it either. Nice working machine.

 Another piece of forestry equipment I have never seen before,that is a weird looking little machine,kinda reminds me of the Bobcats they put tracks and a saw head on but a little bigger..

Looks a lot like the cab and engine off the 1010

1 redneck, 1 ATV, 1 homemade logging arch.  Thinning Doug fir.  Doesn't really show, but this was a fair grade up and out to the skid road.  This area was horse logged in the 1920's and hasn't had any management since.  Unfortunatley, the pine beetles are killing all the big Ponderosas, but they make nice timbers if you get to 'em quick enough.

Picking Up the Chains. The log hauler operator picks up his "tie down" chains for placement with the loader's clam. This "trick" and "skill" saves time and unnecessary labor. Witte timber harvest 6/03.

This is my part homemade and part bought, TSI trailer. I've already decided that the 4/wheeler isn't going to be heavy enough for any hills. But its a good excuse to get a bigger 4x4 - 30hp tractor.
