John Deere feller buncher thinning a 30 acre hardwood stand

[mlangeler]

What you saw in the video is typical. Anything much steeper, and we use our Timbco 425exl. You can see that on a different youtube video.

How steep can it go?

[mlangeler]

Yes, we have a Morbark 22rxl whole tree chipper

[Grishals15]

Are you guys chipping that smaller wood?

[brandonfinerty]

john deere makes a damn good cutter, I run a hydro ax 511

[mlangeler]

We started out with a 1993 511, and now have 2 identical JD 843H sawheads

[brandonfinerty]

@mlangeler yea I got a buddy who has a 843 on 34s and that machine will travel on some steep ground very well and carry the trees with ease

fellers are so cool! =) so diffrent what we have in swe =)

[hootergirlsrhot]

what Hp is the saw and is it electric?

[mlangeler]

That tree is about the max that the machine will handle, while holding it and moving the tree around. You can see that Jeff tipped the tree back slightly, to keep the machine from tipping forward.

will pretty tall 20inch redoaks force the arms open when you cut and back up hill?
