Awesome machine/ operator. At around 9:50 when the Log spun around was that the leverage of the log over powering the rotation brake or did you want it to spin around?
It rotated in it's own. The gear system is weak and will slip on the rotate if you have a long/ heavy piece. I had this happen in the beginning. It's an eye opener. Luckily nothing got hit. The best thing is to lay it horizontal after lowering and the rotate the piece. My service tech said its brass gears in the head rotate and the will only hold so much before it overrides the system and it basically free wheels around to the heavy end down. This was the only complaint I had other than the fact it weighs 54,000 pounds. It's a yard and driveway destroyer, even with thick mats, you still leave trenches with the tires and craters from the outriggers. In frozen ground, this thing is incredible. Fast, safe and a treat to operate.
@@midwestsnowandlawn1601 the guy I was operating it for was charging 500 an hour, way too much for this area, I was paid a percentage of each job. The machine was $500,000.00.
No way that's 7500 pound of tree bud. If so the saw mill has been fucking me good and I'm the one running the scale. The first cut might have been 3-400 pound. No more than that. If so please tell me how much my 12 foot chip truck weigh with all pine wood mulch on it from my chipper. Slap full 20k pound and I'll fit that tree and more in it. Oh and that's with the weight of the dodge truck included. It weighs 11k pound
My small chip truck holds 12 yards and depending on tree type full load of chips is around 10-11,000 lbs. and heavier. I think he’s reading in something other then lbs 🤣
