Logging-on’s second issue of July brings advice from Mack Trucks on how we should be managing the batteries of our log trucks in warm conditions to achieve optimal battery life and performance. Nokian has produced an innovative tyre that could change the way tyres are manufactured for tractors working in forestry conditions. Waratah has partnered with Hultdins to extend the product line of grapples and grapple saws to their customers in Australia and New Zealand. Finally, we examine two new chippers on the market. The first is a new whole tree drum chipper from Morbark and the second is a drum chipper from Peterson that’s provides high production capabilities for confined landings.
