Ponsse ACTIVE H8 Scorpion Giant Hardwood

[@GreatLakesLogger]

I like how the tilt runs now that its proportional within the module

[@kopitzke55]

Yes. Love it. Head does not bang at all. They said it could be slow in the winter time till oil warms the gel or whatever they use.

[@stevenwescott1422]

Love that machine. New sub.

[@AgriExcellence]

Great video. This kinda style would be good on your lives!

[@kopitzke55]

I think so too! It may be possible to do. I can live stream from the action cam

[@stevenwescott1422]

From one logger in the northeast can you be profitable in that wood? Looks like a hard go from here. But I don’t know your markets or production.

[@kopitzke55]

@@stevenwescott1422 Strong pulp markets here. Most logs are 8’11” for Railroad ties. All types of markets. So, in turn yes. Lots of private land in a DNR program that makes landowners cut wood or pay back taxes.

That new Harvesterhead style is cool. And new sound map. I hate the old beep sound from Opti. Is it Opti 5G original sound like that? This is huge machine for those tiny trees

[@kopitzke55]

Yes, new sounds. This was smaller wood. Cut some bigger stuff today. I’ll be in some 20 inch average hardwood soon.

@@kopitzke55 okay. With Ponsse Scorpion H6 which I'm operating in Finland, I can process first thinnings and final cuttings. Some trees is too big fot H6 but mostly my woods is okay to ordinary Scorpion.

[@Loggermack]

I see you got the osmo camera! Whatcha think so far?

[@kopitzke55]

@@Loggermack pretty good. Trying to figure out how to rip it off the SD faster. My card reader must not be right. Had to use 1/4 footage or it would’ve taken hours.

[@kopitzke55]

Need to figure out where my old go pro mounts are tho. I clipped it on the hat holder and she shakes too much

[@SkidderKev]

​@kopitzke55 did you take it in 4k? Could have been why it took so long.

[@Loggermack]

@@kopitzke55 are you using a computer or phone to upload? The wifi transfer with the Dji Mimo app is pretty fast.

[@kopitzke55]

@@SkidderKev yes I did. My Mac is in under an insurance claim I’ll rip the full thing off when it returns.

[@gunnerkopitzke6758]

That will stack up good
