I saw this on woodnet and had to post it over here for y'all to see.

Video is of a "John Deere 1270D with 754"

Re: Cool Video of John Deere Logging Device
I just wonder how much it costs to buy it. John Deere stuff is not cheap.

My John Deere can't go that. And gosh, that is faster than my 14" poulan chain saw.

Re: Cool Video of John Deere Logging Device
Those things are really cool, but why wouldn't they show it cutting something better than pulp wood? Those pines are tiny...

Re: Cool Video of John Deere Logging Device
For that type of softwood harvesting, it sure can out perform your average feller-buncher! But I agree with Jeff that it probably can't keep up a pace like that with "real" trees -- hardwoods -- because of their size and weight.
