Clearing a Log Yard with Komatsu PC90 Excavator and Fixed Harvester Head

As the wood pile gets bigger at my new woodlot I need to clear some more space! In this video I use my small excavator and harvester head to make a bigger landing area and open up the approach from the main road so a log truck can get in.

The old boys here used to put a T on their rad hoses. I'm the morning they'd hook a long hose from their truck rad to their machine rad, especially with the cable skidders. There'd be some awful snaps when the cold antifreeze from the machine hit the hot truck engine block, but it sure heated a motor up fast. Ten minutes of idling and they'd unhook the hose. Good to go. Lol.
Great video. Can almost smell the chainsaw exhaust and sawdust. Keep it up bro.

Cool video! Your Komatsu is really interesting. It looks like a forestry boom arrangement when looking at the cylinder locations. What model is your harvester head?

[@forestandfarm]

Thanks. I wondered about that as well....not sure if that was the original excavator boom or not. I know they did a lot of work to the undercarriage to make it woods ready. The head has no markings and no serial number. I was told it was a HAHN HSG14, but the guy at Hahn says he doesn't recognize it. Maybe it was an early prototype or a homemade job, but it's a pretty complex little piece of machinery!
