2004 Annual Feller-Buncher
Specification Chart
By Brenda Kohlmyer
The
healthier economy and somewhat brighter outlook for the industry this year means
that dealers who may have had machines sitting on the lot last year are now
beginning to take orders for delivery several months out. This fact coupled with
the approaching cold weather make it a perfect time to think about replacing old
equipment or buying a new machine in advance of increased work next spring.
Because there are so many options for modern feller-bunchers, we've tried to
make your initial selection process easier. In this year's Feller-Buncher
Specification Chart you'll find basic specifications on over 70 swing to tree
machines. The chart is divided by two types of machines … leveling and
non-leveling. Leveling and non-leveling machines within any company's line often
have nearly identical specs, however the leveling mechanism will add weight,
which can be a critical decision on certain soil types. But, when steep terrain
all but dictates a leveling machine for safer working conditions and easier
access to trees, the additional weight may not be as important. When you need a
leveling feller-buncher you can do an easy comparison by evaluating slope
percentage and weight across theses specialized workhorses. Please contact your
local dealer or manufacturer for further information on interesting machines.
**These
specifications (available as a pdf download)
are current as of September 2004. Although we try to make certain that all
material is correct, specifications may change at any time. The inclusion or
exclusion of any particular manufacturer or model is not meant in any way as an
endorsement or comment on suitability.
