I am curious about their choice on that piece of equipment, as up here I have never seen something like that. its all stroke delimbers and slashers, hood, tanguay or timricks or whatever. they would have lots of wood already slashed and piled at the roadside and a knuckleboom loader loading the trucks... but now with only the pulp mills going, and they are only taking chips, its straight into the chipper with everything.

it just looks like a slow process, especially with the truck there waiting.
