here are a few to keep you busy for now LOL! I just did the rakes (revised from orginals) and did the rome plow on the other 850. If it was real it woul be a bolt on plow so you could still use the machine as a dozer if needed. the other were just messing around on my baby dio. Those cuttter can be a bit finicky. Enjoy Chris

I'm a thinking that your D6H is actually a D5H TSK. Good pictures and a good topic. I might have to do some digging into the archives!

Here's a few pics of some of my forestry models. One is a custom Deere shortwood/pulpwood loader, I know Deere does not actually make this exact machine, but i thought it look cool. This is a machine you'd see at pulp/paper mills and sawmills handling cut to lenght wood.

Well, first I'll start of with some North Idaho yarders.
My buddy Matt cuts for this Link Belt 98.



This little Christy yarder is one of three owned by this contractor. He's a pretty big player up in our neck of the wooods.

Some of the John Deere skidders that are so popular around here.




They had 6 of these 648's on this job, yarding from two Timbco's, feeding two 320's with LogMax 7000 heads and two 320's sorting and loading.
Stay tuned for those picturesWhistle

That Koehring log loader was pretty neat!

Here's some of my stuff from a job that I was on. Took me two weeks to finally throw a track on our bobcat from hitting a stump. Another operator came in and it took him all of two hours!



Moving the chipper around, I call it the Kill Dozer!

Last batch..

This was actually an Amish guy in the loader doing this. I know they frown upon being photographed, but I was impressed!

Different contractor than from my other posts, but in the next drainage to the north. I was bored waiting on enough snow for snowmobiling last winter, so I took advantage to drive around and shoot some pictures.

Hey Hillbilly, your Weyco 3800 and 290 looks alot like the Weyco machines I shot! I caught these up in the Toutle River, WA area, Longview Division.


They also had this Deere stroker and Hitachi loader on the same job.


Oops, the Hitachi is a 290 and the Link Belt is a 370. My bad!

These aren't Weyerhauser machines, but they were logging on Weyco ground. I had never seen a big tower rigged up and working before. I was down right impressed to say the least!





And now the processor and loader they were using under this machine.
