Logging-on wishes all our newsletter subscribers and web visitors a productive and safe 2022. We waste no time and dive straight into the new products and solutions in the logging, timber harvesting, timber/biomass transport and forest road fields. To begin with, John Deere has announced several updates to their tracked feller bunchers, harvesters, and shovel loggers. Komatsu Forest manufacture a robust mobile diesel tank which can be carried around the harvesting site using a forwarder. This means no waiting for the refuelling truck. FAE have produced a new forestry mulcher with technology to optimise piece size and therefore improve productivity. Fecon have announced that they have been sold to an investment company. Finally, we examine the new tilt rotator for excavators from Cat, which also significantly improve productivity.
