2001 Annual LOG LOADER &
FELLER-BUNCHER - Specification
Chart
In Today's dynamic forest
industry, the challenge is to put the wood on the ground, to the landing, and on
the truck bound for the mill as economically, efficiently and safely as
possible. Answering that challenge is a pair of rapidly evolving technologies -
the modern log loader and the modern feller-buncher. In assembling this annual
Log Loader & Feller-Buncher Specification Chart, TIMBER/WEST attempts
to share with its readers the range and capacities of the various classes of
these impressive forestry machines.
By first identifying a class of
machine, and the types of machines are arranged by weight as a convenient guide,
a person may focus on the particular brands and models that appear to meet the
requirements of a specific side or a range of operations. Think of the chart as
a sketch map which can lead you to the detailed specifications of a range of
forestry machines, and certainly not the basis for a direct apples-to-apples
comparison of the capabilities and virtues of any particular piece of
iron.
Specifications were provided by
the manufacturers or their authorized representatives as of May 2000, and while
every effort is made in the assembly and presentation of the information, errors
may occur or specifications may change. The inclusion or exclusion of any
particular manufacturer or model is not meant in any way as an endorsement or
comment on suitability. Interested parties should contact an authorized dealer
or distributor, or the manufacturer, for detailed and exact final data. For the
most complete and comprehensive list of manufacturers and distributors serving
the Western forestry market, look for the annual Buyer's Guide & Directory
coming up next month in the June 2001 issue of TIMBER/WEST
