The hydraulics for this thing must be INSANE!! I just keep watching the videos... There's a photo on the site of a guy getting into the cab, and it looks like something out of Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica, or something... Amazing... I guess it's true: "Nothing runs like a Deere." [smiley=laugh.gif]

What's the arm for that is located above the cab? Didn't see that in the three videos. Just curious.

It's for forestry management. If you look through the rest of the site, you'll see some images of the boom doing its thing. Very cool...

They use those for the small trees back East.
I've never seen one on a logging show here in the GPNW.

Could you imagine accidentally coming across one of those in the middle of a forest?
