John Deere slash bundler 1490D

[raginroadrunner]

for what this rig costs..impossible!!!

[johndeerefordrocks]

i think oil nuclear power are good but this is an amazing idea

[jacktheripped]

it's not a bad idea, making energy with stuff thats usually left to rot. This is actually very green , making the most use of a resource

[sjohult]

vi hade den förste buntaren i hela världen. vi körde den som protoyp i några år innan den kom ut på marknaden.

[danny57able]

what a great bit of gear , well done ! I need some more info please . who do I contact ?

[Syltty1]

@danny57able

Just contact your local John Deere Forestry dealer.

[WasDenn2000]

Was ist denn das? bindet der echt die Äste der entasteten Bäume zusammen? oder was macht der??

[Syltty1]

@WasDenn2000

sorry I don't speak german! Can't help you much unless you ask the same questions in english

[joey92100]

@WasDenn2000 genau

aber meistens sind die Äste dreckig und in den Boden gewalzt

[435now]

@WasDenn2000

Ja

[boardingpass04]

i have been around logging my whole life and have never seen or heard of anything like it. where abouts are you guys doing this? looks expensive to run

[incineratemason]

The purpose is to pump tons of extra carbon into the atmosphere by burning our forests.

[Syltty1]

@incineratemason

?????? the intent is to burn these bundles into large power plants that are designed for this purpose and enable you to strictly control all emissions levels (NOx, SOx and CO2).

[jcobaltss2005]

@incineratemason well unfortunately you need electricity so quit being a hipocrit.

[yorkshiretractors]

@incineratemason dont talk like a twat they is nowt wrong with burning wood

[ipookie87]

looks like something the goverment would buy

[Lennholm89]

These are just lovely to forward, And the lorry drivers likes them too. Awesome piece of machine.

[Syltty1]

@Lennholm89

I confirm the format is very neat to work with - for the forwarder operator and for the truck drivers!

[deere914]

that thing would be a night mare to have to fix

[Syltty1]

il y a 1 s

as a mater of fact there is hardly any problem with this machine.

There are more than 100 units around the world and they keep running every day without any problem!

[babadingsda1]

it´s a great machine

[mossypest]

Lame. They bundle the wood up and then burn it so it can go into our lungs. This is not green energy. Wood should be left to nourish the soil. Trees are 50% carbon burning them is stupid. When tree are growing they take carbon out of the atmosphere. Federal subsidies are what power this. Green energy rules need to be changed.

[Syltty1]

hi smart ass,

you seem to be a very very knowledgeable guy to write this type of things? do you realy believe in what you wrote there? do you think that burning oil is better??? or you might think that nuclear energy is "cleaner" and safer?

for you information, 1 piece of bundle contains the equivalent of energy of 80 to 100 L of oil...i.e. approx 1 MWh

[sjaderlund]

@Syltty1 thats not what he is writing about....he is saying that burning all and anything is BAD for our lungs

[Lennholm89]

@mossypest

Yiff in hell nature fag. A growing forest uses more carbon then forest that just standing. Check your goddamn facts before being a faggot, Also this change is about 45-50% more carbon that forest takes in compared to forest that has been untouched.

Get a fucking basic forestry education and you'll learn more before spouting bullshit.

[myniol]

WooooooooW Space maishine

[swidd2]

what is the purpose of picking up old brush? Where is it going? Why use a machine to pick it up instead of letting it compost in the field?

[Syltty1]

Ryou pick it up from the ground instead of leaving it there with a risk that it might catch fire in hot summer days.

Once you have bundles, you can store them easily at the roadside or in terminals. Then they are chipped and burned to produce electricity and head in powerplants....

[Cassiiir]

what type of material is used to bundle the wood??? Metall or something else??

greetz from austria

[Syltty1]

you can use either normal agricultural polypropylen twine (plastic) or cisal (vegetal)

[timbco430]

a half million dollars or so to pick up brush!! capable of 25 bundles per 8 hours, somebody better get their pencile out if they think this is profitable!!! gay

[Syltty1]

if you just check the time on this video, the production is above 40 bundles per hour... average depending on the site is 25 to 30.

[Landy2landsend]

@Syltty1 let him get on with picking that stuff up by himself, i wouldn't say no to using it to make your job easier

[Protektorianie]

good machine;)

[jmisiur]

cool machine

[nelke87]

I see this machine being more useful for biomass plantations, in which they harvest rapidly growing species like willows and cottonwoods after growing only a few years. On a regular timber harvest the slash should remain to recycle nutrients.

[27585hendo]

looks hard to operate

[SuperRam3500]

the buncher has a sensor just loading and driving is all you have to do

[eltolojr]

god job

[Lennholm89]

Easy to opirate, Easy to get out, Easy to put on a truck, just brilliant.

[Rommel1l]

wow this music sux so bad

[jokero9991]

zxcv

[LincTexPilot]

Interesting machine...

[Graydondonais]

As a treeplanter this machine is brilliant. Fuck walking through slash for 12 hours a day!

[joeyutd1]

I came on here looking for videos of the guitarist Slash and I stumble on this and its absolutely brilliant. Fuck the guitar, I'm a biomass collection and compression machine guy from now on !!!

[docrw]

impressive American ingenuity

[Syltty1]

As a mater of fact, the bundler concept originates from Sweden, not from US ;o)

[undefinau]

This is from Sweden, not from the US, lool.

[TheMarionet]

just wanted to know if you can actually make a living owning one of these machines.. chances are we might need one in our area...good job on the guys that built this..thanks in advance

[stijn1989]

Naisee But John Deere Have Stupid Colours of tractors Yellow and green omg

[nchayfarmer]

lol so red and grey and black are so much better what about blue wtf where they thinkin

[SlatanicG0D]

if the pioneers had this technology there wouldn't be trees today!

[Phazer480]

In Finland there are powerplants using these "logs"

[seafood555]

what it the purpose of this machine ?

shred the branches or leave it in the field.

[tomescuadi]

I believe that it's built to pick up the branches and pack them...it's a very non productive job for people to do manually, so they left it to an operator in one of these machines

[Syltty1]

@seafood555

the purpose is to collect the slash

and then use the valuable energy it represents.

[paintballxball]

that cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[misisipim]

this is removing valuable nutrients from the soil...let the stuff rot!!

[43932]

So what ?

[dirtbikerboy202]

after a day the pain is wore off but it is sweet

[marcoajaraujo]

good machine

[DeWitteB]

prety cool

[gbain13]

What do you use that for?

[RJM1011]

The bales go off to get chipped for a power station.

Electricity without the nukes or oil!

[Tommiclio]

the bundles may go off to be used as fuel ...

thats just a guess

[terralove09]

in colorado, especially boulder county, the city of boulder uses slash and chipped wood from beatle kill trees to heat and power their buildings. it is very considerably more efficient and environmentally friendly than petroleum fuels. it is really a neat idea coming from govt. buildings. there are thousands and thousands of trees dying from beetle kill around here so its good to see that we are making clean use of them. its a great renewable resource.

[ROBERTCHARLO]

howlong does it take to pick all tha up

[RJM1011]

Some good can do about 250 to 300 bales a day

[WodzuRules]

wow very nice ;)

[0657406574]

cool...

never seen this before ; )

[doekzen]

they are used to power a biomass powerplant. instead of using oil or nuclear sources they use biomass

[v8vert]

Thats great but what do you do with the bundled mass of biomass?

[rcking24]

BAD ASS

[onlinenides]

WOW amazing idea, way better then setting fire to the whole hillside to get rid of it, this way in bundles it can be esily moved and recycled, then the whole tree is being used

[daveilfitaul]

john deere is a wc

[shaunbaker04]

what's a wc? it better not be bad ! don't talk down on the deere or ur a queer

[daveilfitaul]

u capi no mi sun italian

[teshreve]

what is the learning curve on this thing? Holy crap!

[bam091]

how much?

[RJM1011]

About £250,000.00

[al91176]

Never seen one like this before, pretty cool.

[jizzmonger]

This would be a good piece of equipment to use in forests that need thinning for fire control instead of dozing the waste and tearing up the ground.

[mystex]

thats a nice machine

[Johndeerefarmboy820]

This is Fucking cool

[judderman37]

It reminds me of a bailer in a way, as that what it does, binding the branches together neatly in string then chops it into manageable pieces. unusual machine, would like to try it sometime!

[Syltty1]

once bundles have been made from residues, they can be stored for some time at the road side so that they can dry (sun + wind action). Later on they are transported to biomass powerplants where they will be communited (chipped or shreded) and burned to produce energy (cogeneration of heat and electricity). Each bundle equals approximately 1MWh of energy, which means 80 to 100 liters of crude oil equivalent.

[anooseholay]

God I would like to know if a person could make any money with one of these in the Northeaster U.S. with the price of oil going to where it is now. I would think that this machine would do well in an area where a cut to length system was being used but in most other places the slash could just be chipped on the yard I suppose like they used to do.

[ederzilli2007]

And used to this? ... For fire
