I have a Lt40 with the cat diesel. My debarker arm has stopped working. The motor will swing the arm in but not out. I metered the wires at the motor connection when swinging out and got no voltage. Simple as a bad toggle switch? it got to late to tear into the control box.... Thoughts?

This regarding timber that loggers want, and will harvest in forestry operations. In the past month, I have come across two timber people who have mentioned that hickory is not desirable forestry-wise and that surprised me, I thought the opposite. One was a forester discussing forestry management and the focus was white oak but he also mentioned other desirables to nurture along with it but hickory was a negative. Wish he would have elaborated more. Other guy drives a logtruck here and he was thinking that the mills don't even want it in hardwood loads, period. I don't get it. I love it as firewood anyway!Read More
