    Maybe we all should start a FHC "logging company" on paper... go to a distributor and get them to let us "try" that rig for about a month... then, we'll let em know if we want to buy it later... ;)

    The remote camera quality is amazing. Both of these vids show a perty important thing, in addition to watching an incredible machine... the 2 guys running it. The 1st vid shows the operator quickly getting to the next tree without hurting the head's gear. 2nd vid shows why only a very experienced operator would be allowed on that slope... you really see it when he's traversing and swings the head uphill so he doesn't roll the machine. I can't even imagine the expensive sounds that thing would make as it tumbles down a hill like that... :eek: Anybody know how many mortgages that thing is worth?

    Yah Stinny, you hit it right on. Both of those operators are on their game.

    I'll bet an old Oliver 1950 with a Jimmy could pull both them shiny tractors around the barn a few time and not even breath'n hard.:D

    At least you could hear the Ollie runnin if it couldn't.

    Those girls weigh a ton or 10. They don't make them to pull like those anymore. Now all they seem to care about is spinning a shaft in the 100hp chassis.

    Ya think? I don't even know what my old 1750 with a 283 gasser weighs but I got 8 weights stacked on the front that are about 90 pounds a piece. Theres a lot of pig iron in these old Ollies. I cant imagine farming with a 2 stroke diesel just a screamin at you all day. But it has to get done don't it?

    Somehow I doubt that woodpeckers and classical music are the sounds that machine actually makes.
