Looks cool, got to get some!

The bear and the winch rock!

Disgusting PIGS!

Some seriously heavy tree machinery here. Skip ahead to 7:30 to see the cool bit.

That seems a real waste of a PC340. 35 tonne excavators are not cheap, and chopping the boom up like that seems insane. Interesting stuff though...

 

[woodworkingboy]

Cool heavy duty, Leon, love when the machine dropped the tree sideways. Maybe they use that excavator with the chopped boom only for tree work, so they justify the alteration.

 

[bstewert]

Wow, how do you transport that thing without chewing up the roads?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

From the looks of it, tracks on pavement, they really don't care so long as it gets there

 

[MasterBlaster]

What a wild way to remove a stump!!!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

stump cutters are nothing new. If you have a lot of stumps to deal with they are remarkably effective. I'm just buying a stump shear -

I think they fabbed up that stick for tree work and can reattach the regular stick and bucket when they're ready to dig. Definetly interesting though. But they're insane to be doing big trees like that without a FOPS/ROPS cab imo.

It looked like the tracks were on wooden mats so probably no damage to street.

Crazy power! Looked like a good way to shave the top but I wonder if it is good for removal of the whole stump. That attachment looks like it would get eaten up by rocks.

Good looking shear, Thor, I like that design a lot. I've seen that type work a lot and they do it quick, then backfill and smooth over the spot like nothing was ever there

 

[Thor's Hammer]

it's a big job changing the stick over on that size machine. Did you notice the otehr machine was set up witha double grab for cut and hold...

I prefer this way myself...

Those are tiny trees. I couldn't believe how big a tree that thing could handle!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Terribly nice machinery! That ability to elevate the cab would sure make things easier and safer.

It's a 35 tonne base unit. And I was less than impressed... it had to drop it pretty quickly. I'd much rather shear all the tops and limbs out.

 

[woodworkingboy]

It didn't really seem a controlled drop. Had it in it's grasp well enough, but it seemed more weight than the hydraulics could lower in a totally controlled way. If it had to stop part way, could it?

 

[cory]

That Liebherr is an absolute beast of a dream machine, and the reach is incredible.

Here ya go Butch ... Happy Thanksgiving:

Effective for certain..

I wish our dump would get with the program and get a tub grinder and feed a power plant.

Good post, Jay. We are all in this together. We all happen to be here together at this one little point in time...hundreds of thousands of years and our particular paths intersect now. Everyone out there is our brother and sister.

Ah, Turkey days with nieces and nephews.

Well said Gary. Thanks for posting that video Jay.

You're welcome. Have to feel for the man in the vid. I don't really know if feeling sorry for him is good or not, but talk about a tough hand to be dealt.
