Daplumma Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 That is one incredable machine!I could have my firewood cut up for a year in an hour or two.Looks like they are using it on new growth stuff.Prolly saves lives of loggers in the long run.

Clampet Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have seen an awfull lot of wanton waste of paper in the way businesses handle their document management. I estimate between 30-50 percent of printed matter ends up in the recycler unnecessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I posted a video a little while back, it's another extreme machine that hauls the logs out of the bush, pretty incredible machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 They show a program on the History channel about logging, pretty incredible what some of those machines can do to a forest and even though we need wood probably not a good thing.

Cookslav Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Oh man...its a real live Transformer!!! That thing is crazy quick and effecient. The faster we can take 'em away, the less time to re-grow we have.... Here's an idea.... Can we not form our own little version of OPEC? Timber Supply is running low so lets jack the rates for Canadian lumber. If they can do it with oil, why can't we do it with lumber...or water for that matter. Let start a price war, and see if we can get some cheaper gas LOL! Edited February 17, 2008 by Cookslav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strong Canadian dollar and the economic slowdown in the US are to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ya closed, or "reduced production" Plants are kind of bitter sweet... Less cutting is the sweet, no jobs is the bitter part. Can't have it both ways I s'pose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Our forests are disappearing because corporations need advertisements to send out to millions of people 10 times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Forrestry is a renewable resource... if you plant it back! You gotta love a mean green machine like that!!!... John Deere Rules!!! Can you imagine what that thing would do to a "Tree Hugger"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yes, renewable... A tree in the boreal forest takes at least 100 years to grow to a size able to harvest again. It's just not that simple although I wish it was. Governments need to implement more regulations on recyclable materials on industry, in my opinion. Individuals by them self really can't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the loggers of 100 yrs. ago had had the foresight there wouldn't be any problems... you could cut 100 yr old trees every year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I see your point. I don't mean to sound like a nag, but climate change is greatly affected by deforestation, whether you believe it or not. I'm a strong believer in protecting our woodlands, and for me this means smarter use of timber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
