How about an oops like this?


It was an accident somewhat similar to this that outlawed leaving open holes from digging for gravel along woods roads here. A Feller Buncher ended up submerged on it's roof after going across an unmarked open pit hole in the winter. If memory serves me right the operator actually drowned.

HahnHarvesters have been around here for at least 30 years. They usually had 2 operators, 1 for delimbing & 1 for either cutting or shearing. "Piece of advice" I've never seen anyone upgrade after owning one of these. It's kind of like the Ponsse curse. It will either make you rich or destroy you within 2 yrs.

Maybe Gary C was driving it  :)

Naw, if it was me, I'd have got all the wheels under water. No sense in going in part way.

Something like this:

Ow Ron, that was a shock. I wasn't ready for that picture with the white stuff in August and I'll probably see to much of that this winter as I have a lot of jobs to finish by spring.

Don't even want to think about it now.  :) :)

With the heat and high humidity here lately, the "white stuff" looks good. At least for the wood's work.  ;)

That looks like a nice job compared to the ones I get here in MN. This is what I get.




How was your job set up? Row thin, logger select to some DBH, or marked sale? Got any more?  :D

Row thinned every 3rd row and selectively marked in between rows to 90-120 sq. ft basal area. This stand was in a real need of thinning. Yes, the Huron-Manistee NF's have a lot of red pine stands like this in need of their first and second thinnings. The Superior and Chippewa NF's in your area should have similar stands. Many are from the successful reforestation efforts of the CCC's.
