Tractor with forestry harvesting head attached

http://peplers.blogspot.com Demonstration at the Weald Woodfair 2009. I'm told this is a British-made Botex 580 tl loader.

you should have one for your coppice

[mikepepler]

@TheMONTREYJACK1993 I would, but they cost about £80k!

[TheMONTREYJACK1993]

@mikepepler you could get a nice lookin one for 20k

@TheMONTREYJACK1993 Still too much for us - we're only managing 13 acres, cutting 0.25-0.5acres a year, as that supplies plenty to head our home. So 3 chainsaws, hand tools, 4x4 and trailer are enough to get the job done for now. What I'd really love is an Iron Horse, but I can't justify that either - do a YouTube search for "iron horse forestry" and you'll see what I'm talking about...
