I've seen 500 acres on black mountain get scalped by those things. They would just roll up and down the slopes. Some of the gravel roads up there you needed 4 wheel drive to go up the loose gravel and sand roads, they were so steep.  ::)

If anybody is interested, I have managed to find a few old product videos and posted them to youtube, including this one from 1977 ()

It shows the Shortwood harvester, Load aligners, Feller Forwarder, Bunch Limber, Loader Forwarder and Feller Buncher
