Logging-on’s second issue of April begins by highlighting nine areas that log truck fleet owners and drivers should focus on in order to reduce the high safety risks associated with this activity. John Deere presents technologies which keep the logging machine owner, dealer and factory connected to diagnose machine operating condition to improve mechanical uptime and productivity. Case presents Project Minotaur, which has resulted in a new machine being developed which combines the benefits of dozers and loaders. A guide out of the UK gives good practical tips for ensuring that water quality is maintained while we carry out our logging operations. Finally, we look at new excavators in the 13 to 16 ton class produced by JCB.
