2023 weiler b457 fellerbuncher

[@justinvoisine8750]

Well said Jon. Many people dont give a new machine a chance. You need a fair amount of seat time to get to the same comfort level you had before. Demos can be more harmful then helpful as many dealers dont have the machine set up well and it leaves a bad taste. The electronics need to be experimented with to find what you like and many are scared to play but it is necessary. Regarding the def consumption. Weiler uses a non egr engine which is a great thing but it does have higher def consumption than deere. The consumption is in the middle of john deere and the new tigercats. Deere has the lowest def burn at the expense of the most fuel burn on this size class machine. Having accumalated 20,000 hrs on an 853mh and now clocking in 4800hrs in one year with an H457 I can say and prove that the huge fuel savings on the weiler compared to the deere even factoring in the increased def consumption nets me a savings of over $30,000 annually on my double shifted operation.

So you have got rid of your 822 ? I know at one time you talked about running it too .

[@pine8806]

No I still have it I'm running 2

KZbin just recommended this channel to me and I don’t know much about these machines. When you point the chips at the glass is there a chance it can break or is it like bulletproof resistant??

[@oldtimerf7602]

The windshield is inch thick lexan, more or less "bullet proof ".

[@crandonborth]

@@oldtimerf7602 Thanks… I figured it wasn’t glass as a rock kicked up would take your head off.

[@pine8806]

Of course, you could break it there, very rugged and not likely. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@crandonborth]

@@pine8806 Yup I enjoy the channel and love the in cab view of just you running the machine, looks so smooth.

البدء 😂❤

[@bernardfrith1833]

They are all good till they break down! Some have made replacing parts and access to such easier today. But considering the price of wood vs cost of a machine today idk how they can make money with the market and lack of mills today!

[@pine8806]

It's definitely tough you just can do it all at once

[@oldtimerf7602]

Sweet

[@pine8806]

👍

[@mowinnthrowin-te3mm]

At one point you talked about giving your other operator the weiler after he had some seat time. Have you thought twice about that? 😂

[@pine8806]

Wellll lol

[@pine8806]

It will probably happen at some point it's getting hard for me to run a machine that much and take care of everything else
