Komatsu with Woodsman processor

Very nice machine. 40T Komatsu with the Woodsman processing head.

 

[JTL]

Interesting looking machine furpo. Almost looks like an old 475 Timbco/Valmet. I know Komatsu now owns the Valmet line. But I never heard of a Woodsman head before. Is that a down under thing?
That machine looks tuff!

Yeah it is a very nice bit of kit. What is impressive is that it is nearly a year old in that photo and does not have a bend in it. It was falling every day. I hope the new owner likes it as much as the old.

Early Roadbuilders

From a 1979 Ritchie Brothers auction flyer at Surrey,B.C. .The Company that had these was called Rainbow Mountain Roadbuilders,up till that point.If anyone knows any history,or who they worked for let us know.Thes were definitely the first generation of roadbuilding excavators used,and represented a very modern fleet for 1979.The bottom one appears to have shovel type pads.Strangest Company color to ever be seen in the woods as well,obviously all were custom painted. http://youtube.com/user/skadill

Hey Skadill, can you shine any light on the 330D in oast 394? Looks like a Link Belt cab on it or something

I've always been a little baffled about those butt-n-top grapples used in Canada. What are the advantages and disadvantages of them.

I've never seen one used in the states.

 

[log frog]

Me too. I have a friend in Canada who swears by them, and wonders why we would use anything else. I can see the advantages in loading small and long wood, but I think we'll be sticking to swinging grapple/heel. Strange people those Canadians
