excavator to harvester in under 4 minutes

Harvester conversion on a 13 ton New Holland Kobelco zero tail swing excavator. Designed and built by Jas P Wilson this system can easily be swopped between Harvesting head and standard excavator without compromise.

It has its limits at full reach in terms of what size of tree it will handle but within reasonable reach it will easily handle the head's full capacity. Purpose built harvesters behave the same way. It's true it would be more stable if it wasn't a zero tail swing but that would be a major problem working in thinnings. The zero tail swing is by far the best option in my opinion

WOW what an operator, it looks like he's done that before!
