I seen New Zealand video on a waratah processor. Well I notice it marked the butts after every cut. I googled and waratah offers a marking sytem. Not much info on it from what I could see. Anyone experience these before? It would be handy with all the sorts. Like we cut two or three of the same length sometimes. I sort them but still gets mixed up. Wondering if it could be mounted on any brand.
Ponsse heads can do the same I think and even include spray systems for treating stumps
Yeah stump treatment can be put on them all I think. I've just never seen the pain. That is on the head itself I think the stump treatment is via the saw. Or on some anyways.
The Waratah paint for the 624C is about 4 or more main components for the paint system. The hydraulic valve body, the paint pump section body, the paint nozzles on nozzle mount, the paint tank with compartments for the different colors and the wiring harness.(hydraulic hoses, extra wires etc)

Woodsman-pro, Satco and Tigercat also do paint systems on their processors.
Would having someone walking along later with some paint cans to mark the piles after stacking work?
No that would be to much work. If it gets real bad and we have an odd sort and only have two tree pieces per pile I just paint them.
Some jobs have 4-5 species with 3-6 sorts each. All cut at the same time. Your eyes start to hurt in the forwarder lol
That's where the money is made.
