Gee thanks mate -
Actually saw one working at the Bris-vegas wood show a few years ago and liked it...they go at 100 gazelles per hour [at least] and rough-cut pretty well.
Had 2 guys tailing out and they were moving all the time. Could do pretty good volume if you had the logs handy and a loader.

Still like the Mahoe though, eh, remember that 10ft roostertail of sawdust?

cheers, rich

there selling it for almost new price.

Not what am after thanks for that but you saved me a troll through ebay

Our paths may cross as I'm moving to the Sunshine Coast this year some time.
Also coming up your way eventually on a trip around the block with my Woodmizer LT40 [Hyd]. She's only got a 35 hp Cat so prob much smaller than your mate's.]
Gotta love those hydraulics myself.

cheers,

richie

well it has done less than 30 hours of work, the lucas that is.

the peterson would be nice, fully auto but I have seen that one advertised for at least 8 or 10 months in other places. just a bit out of my price range!!!
