Any Valmet 546 forwarder operators out there still? Looking for a replacement hydraulic filter. The number in my book (0066 0200) is not coming up with anything on my internet searches. Also curious if there are any parts machines around.

I understand what to do when I have top bind, bottom bind, end bind or side bind, but sometimes I encounter a tree that I cannot determine the bind. This is particularly true in tangles of storm trees. I call these "indeterminable bind". The situation...
