Yea especially when it’s a liability to stand that close when they are cutting. I ran one of these for years. Some times you drop them out of the grapple and they fall where they want. Even on top of the machine. Also wood chunks the size of your fist are fly out.

That blade on the green machine looks similar to what they sometimes attach to a helicopter to trim trees back from power lines that are out in an open area (as in away from structures, etc.). I got to see this done once. Not necessarily good for the health of a tree but certainly efficient to trim back miles worth of trees at a time.

[@hrgkorneris5617]

Here, in Europe, we have machines called "harvesters" (for an example John Deere 1470G harvester). Those machines cut trees, limb them, and cut them at a specific length. You should definitely try them one day, they are sick

[@user-zq2cx6bl1g]

It's interesting that eu and us work so different systems in the forest. Her in Denmark we also run harvesters and branch of were the machine drive to take care of the ground and tires.

[@NickNM1921]

Geography plays a big part in the US. Where I am in southern New England fully mechanized crews will run harvesters with a forwarder more similar to the stuff in the EU.

[@peeterl.2016]

@@user-zq2cx6bl1g There are companies in the states, who use them. But culture plays a big role here. Americans have that "'Murica, f*ck yeah" mentality and they only use their own technology, even if it is old and slow.

[@brotherhoodofram8967]

So i always wamted to run a feller. What kind of controls do they use? Are they similar to a John Deere grapple loader or are they more along the lines of an excavator?

[@drewellinger1399]

That's awesome to see other areas of logging and how they do things, I'm a second generation logger in New Mexico. Many people don't realize we have trees worth falling.😂 We have steep Rocky terrain and are usual at 9-10,000 ft. elevation. If you and Gordy are ever bored enough swing down to New Mexico.😅

[@josephhodges9819]

Then I would say why not go with nothing but tracked fellers. Might cost more for the tracks and you do not move as quick but you probably do not go through tracks as much as tires and tracks can be repaired a piece at a time instead of the whole track.

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Not mant people get to have and share that experience. Thank you very much !

[@rondenman2032]

[@lukelee8934]

In the south, we call them a shear

[@tannergoepfert732]

Up north a shear to use uses to knives to more or less pinch the wood, we also call them hotsaws up here

[@markespich8574]

Where I’m at in north Florida pulpwood is the money crop here and the guys that run the feller bunchers they’ll take out 100 acres a day,easy.

[@sporranheid]

Great vid and amazing machines but it does also sadden me. We humans are so good at making bigger and faster machines to destroy things bigger and faster. Taking them down one at a time, like you and Gordy do, there's more of a chance to appreciate the individual tree. At least they leave some behind, unlike the "clear-fell" policy here in Scotland. And, as someone below said, it's supply and demand. Recommended reading: "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohlleben. "Finding the Mother Tree" by Suzanne Simard, both non-fiction, and the novel "Barkskins" by Annie Proulx. ✌

[@norbertriojas]

I can’t imagine what would happen to the Amazon rain forest if just a few Brazilian ranchers got their hands on these machines 🤨

[@GreatLakesLogger]

I don't know man, I ran hotsaws for a while. I do plenty of stupid stuff, dumb stuff on dirt bikes, riding up and down fields on farm implements, so on and so forth. You absolutely do not screw with hotsaws however. They will snip you in half before you have a chance to wiggle. When it comes to the wheeled versions, they estimate that there is enough energy in that spinning disk to flip the machine on its side if you could stop the blade instantly. I've seen people 150 ft away get hit in the chest with one of the chips coming out of that thing. It left a mark. Cool videos and everything, but you're setting yourself up for a serious accident if you're dumb enough to stand in front of one of those heads when the disc is spinning.

[@Yuh-fr5fv]

Damn as a sawyer this kinda hurts. So much goes into felling and these monsters come in and take that shit in seconds

[@dontarguewafool955]

I thought about what Joe said about a 3k tire to harvest a 2 dollar tree🤔. The machine itself has to be a 100k or better plus the maintenance costs. Wow!!! Just to thing, our grand fathers used 2 man buck saws and horse drawn skids. Better yet, they had a climber to limb and top the tree first, before felling it.

[@bernhard8540]

If you think the feller buncher is fun, just wait til you get to run the excavator attachment chipper/grinder😂 that thing is insane on video but seeing it in person, just shred a tree in seconds, it's wild😂❤ I got a lot of seat time between the feller buncher with delimber and the chipper/grinder and it was great

Couldn’t answer for them but it depends on the tree/wood type along with the ground they’re working on. Sometimes the cut to length isn’t always the best or most efficient when clearing an area

800 per day? They should have that done before coffee break with decent density. I don’t mean to be an arse, I’ve just watched them in action. Cut a tree, limb it, too it and stack it in about a minute. Limbers loading trucks is equally impressive. Many snowmobile trails are also logging roads. They have priority so you sit and watch. I almost want to just keep watching instead of going again when they finish.

There’s a whole science to it and it’s regulated and such. Your right much of what they do is to improve the land vs hurt it. Like I said in a comment to another guy, here in Michigan the whole state is forest. All of it, but u have to search out any actually old trees in the state. There’s some state forests and the occasional 100-150+ year old oak or something. It’s like the whole state literally has been cut down in our very recent past.

[@willieclark2256]

@@jimmylarge1148 there’s a few reasons for that. 1. Michigan is a pulpwood state, so growing tall timber is a fruitless endeavor. I’ve seen some of the old trees in MI and they frankly don’t hold a candle to young poplars in S. Indiana/ Kentucky. 2. There’s very little federal land in MI, which means that forests are managed for profit and very rarely are things like native character/ recreational value considered in management. 3. The land under a forest un MI CAN be much more valuable as farmland if it’s not waterlogged so those places that would grow nice trees are growing corn and soy
