Title: New log Turner for the mill (update with new pics)
Post by: Bruno of NH on April 04, 2018, 05:33:00 PM
I had a new log loader and Turner built for the mill and log yard.
It's in Canada now waiting to get shipped to the US.
Hope to see it next week.  (https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36349/received_2088951731323411.jpeg?easyrotate_cache=1522877361)

Yes it's a 3pt mount

You are going to enjoy that fine piece of equipment. My knuckle boom loader and skid steer have been such an asset to my one man show.

Very nice!!!  Am sure it will be handy--just be careful with any logs in the grapple near the mill.  Will have to come over some day to see your operation.  All the best, Rob.

Will you be using that on your Mahindra tractor? I can see where that will be quite handy indeed.

Nice looking rig Bruno. I'm guessing that will take a fair bit of the manual part out of your manual mill :D

Too bad about it falling thru, but good for you on calling BS on the suppliers.  There needs to be more of that.

Unfortunately the deal with Farms is out of my budget.
But if all goes well I will be a new owner of an off road grapple trailer today.
I will post some pics when it finalizes.

Post by: thecfarm on May 02, 2018, 02:15:35 PM
Not used much? :o  If I had that it would show some wear and tear and not much paint would be on it either.
Title: Re: New log Turner for the mill
Post by: Bruno of NH on May 02, 2018, 02:30:59 PM

The other deal didn't pan out for me.

Mr.MM 
With all the drama and flipping and flipping and dishonest financing companys.
This ended up the best thing in the end.
I can pickup logs locally, load the mill,move my waste and It be things with the trailer mount.
I got it at my tractor dealer who I like very much.
The importer not so much.
Woody's are great folks not far from where my family came from in Canada
I like that it might be weird to some but I like the stuff.
I towed it home with my have ton truck with no breaks on the trailer over hill and dale .
I couldn't believe how well it towed for an of road trailer. 
No tags that's a no no in NH

I haven't even run it yet. 
The Dr spanked me this morning about taking it easy on my knee today because the procedure didn't go so well.

Post by: Bruno of NH on May 30, 2018, 03:15:07 PM
The Knee is not good.
I'm leg dragging at the end of the day.
It's going to be a long summer 
The loader run smooth I'm very impressed.
