Now cutting some nice big pine.



 

(2) 12 footers and (2) 10 footers scaled at 1585 bf international. Wish we had 10 more acres of these.

The 240 didn't want anymore on this hitch.

For being 40 years old the Barko runs great. Last year one of the blower drive bolts backed out and went through the timing gears so the 353 got a rebuild and while it was down we rebushed the jib/boom pivot. My son runs a 495 during the week so he is spoiled and I get to run the 160A, its old and slow like me. It's amazing what it will pick but the swing pump is getting tired so it rotates pretty slow with a big log. 800bf is no problem to move and stack. The cab is a manual tilt.

46'+ 23" at the small end, first and second logs both 27" and clear 3 faces. We were an adjoining section last summer, the property is 478 acres total with about 60 acres of marsh and pond, mostly pine with some mixed hard wood, oak at the higher sections and a little hemlock and fir for good measure.

I heard all the good pine are in NH.
