Boxologist Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 talk about deforestation! i remember seeing the commerial units like that 10-15 years ago. Huge monsters. I'm surprised, though i shouldn't be of seeing it move into a much smaller scale/ "consumer" version.
eVox Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 That is very impressive! I wonder how it works on not-so-straight trees though...
solder_guy Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 That thing reminds me of that movie .. war of the worlds! Rob
Al N. Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I wish they had videos of machines that could plant and grow trees just as quickly...sigh.
slngsht Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 I wish they had videos of machines that could plant and grow trees just as quickly...sigh. I'm sure somewhere in China there is a plant that spits out cheap plastic trees with lead based green paint just as fast
slngsht Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 That is very impressive! I wonder how it works on not-so-straight trees though... If you cut it often enough, a curved tree looks like a straight tree. But I'm sure this is limited to trees that don't have main trunk branches.
MHKflyer52 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 If you cut it often enough, a curved tree looks like a straight tree. But I'm sure this is limited to trees that don't have main trunk branches. I worked for a company (a number of years ago) in Sherwood Oregon that made a tree harvester, "The Allied ATH 28 feller-buncher" and it would and could remove branches as large as 9" on a 28" dia. tree and did not care if the tree was straight or curved. Here is a link to what it looks like. http://www.alliedsystemsco.com/ath/ath.htm The loggers did not like it due to the fact that it put a lot of them out of work as a crew of twenty could not fell as many trees in a day as one ATH-28 could in the same time with just one operator.
Sean Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I'm originally from the South, and to me the "feller-buncher" sounds like someone who organizes get-togethers for the gay community.
