If you ever try running a Buncher, I have 2 suggestions. Run it for at least a week. Cut wood in the 12”-16” range. Most people think” I’ll cut brush till I get the hang of it”, brush is Harder to cut than real wood. One day is not enough to develop the muscle memory of the controls, your thumbs and index fingers do as much as your hands on the controls. Love the video’s, keep them coming!
Those sound like giant circular saws when they're cutting. Unmistakable sound, we know when they're harvesting trees around here with them. They also make them in a skidder configuration.
Thats a dated head on the Tigercat. Most have live head which I had a hard time with. The live heads don't stop between trees but can carry 6-8 trees at a time. I ran 225 and 235 with those heads with the rings about 1998 or so. And JD 793 and 653.
She's ancient but looks like it was well taken care of, I started on one of these in '08 and still run them a fair bit. The new 870/830 are absolute animals, jump in hoe or something and it feels like going from a Ferrari to Honda civic
Thanks Todd for snooping out interesting stuff
I helped put the engine in that machine last year brand new cummins
No self levelers in the East , but lots of DEERE 3155 tractors
Thanks for another great video 👍

One of the local loggers has s Tiger cat. A very impressive machine. Great video!
Neat find
I've seem fellers on my travels but never up close and personal
They seem like really meat machines
Looks like she is clean for her age!

I like the latter lol
I know the dude that designed those teeth you’re talking about. They never did take off. He’s looking at trying it again.
Cool, it seemed good in theory
nice cleats on the tracks
Didn’t need to clean the tracks to move it home.
Those skid loader brush cutter attachments with those cutter heads are sketchy to run.
