Logging-on’s second edition of September brings the release of the new L-Series skidders and wheeled feller bunchers from John Deere. Improvements and enhancements have been made throughout the skidder range. Waratah’s new H215 head has been put through its paces to try and achieve single-pass eucalypt debarking. It passed the test with flying colours. Case and one of their large fleet owners provide practical tips on sound fleet management strategies. We look at the new gas-powered (petrol) chipper from Vermeer, which is aimed at being applied in conditions where emissions from diesel engines are being increasingly frowned upon. Finally, we look at the new on and off-road tyres from Nokian for truck steering, driving and trailer axles, which have been designed for forestry use.
