Extremely skilled engineer! He's fast and efficient and knows his machine very well. Wondering if he has a guy in the brush guiding him by radio or if he has line of sight.
@@horus2153 no not really the 044 was the one swing machine that can log without guys,, knew a operator in alaska run grapples all the time without a guy until he would get into hard pulls then throw one out, ive had back track of a 44 2 feet off the ground in a hard pull ,, just got to ease out of it slowly!!
@@matthewmcmillion9016 wicked must be quite a heavy machine yeah the o44 i drive a 124 always run atleast 2 guy ropes radiata pine here in New Zealand is heavy wood though we pull full stems dont buck our wood
That's a really great footage the operator makes it look really easy it takes a lot of skill to do what he's doing
Pretty high breakage. Made kindling outta some nice timber.
Never seen anything like that.. dang thing gathers wood like crazy..!
Looks like Franklin or Northwest bay divisions near Nanaimo

Hook tender is in vid. And a guy recording is the chaser most likely .
