Seems to work well. 8)

[PAFaller]

Looks pretty good to me, that little stuff at the top shouldnt be too big of a deal. Are you pulling off a buncher or hand chopping that stuff?

[Meadows Miller]

She looks the goods I have always liked the static delimbers  ;) ;D ;D 8) Is it a bar trip for the arms or do you also have radio control Mate  ???

[smwwoody]

we are cutting it all by hand right now.

We just got this ready to go for next week



we will set the delimber up next to the barko and use it to delimb

[smwwoody]

It is a bar trip

[treefarmer87]

that works great, the loader looks new now

[smwwoody]

you should see it now that pic was before we spent 6 hours with the pressure washer.

[Meadows Miller]

NICE Mate  ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) 8)

The Danzco delimbers are good delimbers, with the low mount the slash builds up really fast.

[Corley5]

That's  8) 8)

[Kemper]

Have you tried any hard wood? Is the barko a 160?

[cutter88]

first time ive ever seen anything like that that's really cool

[Corley5]

I was wondering how it does in hardwood too 

[Autocar]

Pretty cool Ive never seen one work before, how often do you have to blade the limbs from in front of it ?

[Woodhauler]

I was wondering how it does in hardwood too 

I have hauled off a guy for years that uses the same kind of limber thats made in maine, He limbs most all hardwood other then oak. He has a 210 and a slasher.

[smwwoody]

i have not tried it in hardwood yet.  as strong as it is built im sure it would do good with pulp sized hardwood trees as long as you have the power to pull through it

That is a Barko 160

[smwwoody]

about every 3rd or 4th skid you back up to it and pick up the slash with the grapple and carry it back into the woods with you as you are going to get another skid.  those pine limbs work great on soft spots on the skid trails

Boy that delimber is slick! what are the mats around it for?    I have my loader mounted on a pitts trailer and found that it works really well to put a bunch of weight out on the tongue.(to keep it from moving around handling tree length or chip wood) I got a 2k lb block of concrete. Plus, it put some weight on the truck rear end when moving it. 

[smwwoody]

with a sorting grapple on a single arch it is a little hard to get the trees into the jaws of the delimber. (the stems are not high enough off the ground)   I have a bunch of those 12 inch thick mats so i used them to raise the skidder up a little.  pluss it helps to keep from making a mud hole if the delimber is going to be in one place for a long time.

[smwwoody]

We set it up on the tongue of the barko today.  It works great.  Just pick up  3 or 4 sticks of tree length pine and pull them straight through.  then into the slasher cutt the butt logs off cutt the tops off at 3 inches and set them on the trailer

[Meadows Miller]

Gday

Sounds good n looking forward to seeing a clip of that rig workin Mate  ;) ;D ;D ;D 8) 8)

have you ever used a delimbing gate? they work great in pine also. i bought a prentice 410 d and put my ctr delimber on it. It has the topping saw on it.

How do you like it? We have a 384 and it's so heavy we first took 8' out of the frame and last week torched off the delimber to try and lighten it up some. We stay in hard wood, usually pretty good stuff, so it didn't help us that much. Would be good in pine or softwood though.

[smwwoody]

Gates work great for pulp wood but the post plant complains that a delimbing gate doesnt get the limb flush enough for their process.  The danzco de limber worked great mounted on the front of the old barko.  here is a pic



We had some problems with the barko and have made some major chainges over the last few weeks.

[smwwoody]

the pump drive failed on the old barko loader.  new parts for the Funk pump drive were worth more than the loader.  We searched for used parts but didnt have much time to look.  we needed to keep production rolling.  we sold the grapple off the loader and scrapped the rest.  it gave us enough for a down payment on a much newer Prentice 325 with a CTR delimber and top saw.  the new loader has joysticks heat air and a radio not to mention much much more power.  it handles the tree length stuff much better and has jumped our production way up

[Kemper]

Sounds like it worked out great. That's a shame that parts can be so hard to find. I have an old Barko 160B, been pretty lucky so far, but the pump could use a rebuild.

what motor does the 160B have.  what pumps are on it i may have some spare parts for you

Cummins 5.9, not sure about the pumps.

we never had much problems with using our delimbing gate for post. i have a post yard and there was a few knots i had to trim up but not to bad. i like using the loader with the delimber more because you can get a few more trees in each skid. the 410 is working good but my air condition is not working. lol its getting hot thats for sure.
