Latest and probably the greatest project I’ve ever completed, pretty proud of this one, we mounted a on a with a 200 excavator rotec bearing with matching hydraulic swing drive unit that is all controlled in the cab of the machine, this purpose built machine will follow hand crews on wild fires and chip the slash piles they create along the way. Super excited to get to do this job, came out just like we planned and the best part is that it’s all under legal transport height when loaded on the lowboy, excited to see it in action

The latest project out the door, and my self built this brush/power grapple from a standard log grapple that was laying in the feild for quite awhile. we made it wider, fabricated the pin grabber attachment, replaced the seized rotate motor, went through the center swivel to ensure it was run-able, built all new hoses for it, plumbed it all to the machine, and built a thumb lock to keep the thumb from bleeding off during operation, this machine is quite the brush unit now for only being a 140, it handles the weight just fine as well.

Kobelco sk140 came through the shop for some forestry guarding, idler braces, rail guides, cat walks, and log guard/side guard, zero tail machines make the right side cat walk some what of a pain but came out alright!

A little bit of up fitting on Probably the nicest 90’s generation I’ve ever seen, we squared the rear of the frame off, built the rear hitch receiver plate, and mounted a new multi lift hook lift hoist body on to the truck, came out pretty decent, gonna be one slick hook lift truck when it’s all finished up
