Our current harvesting equipment currently operated will only climb to 20-25% gradient on banks. We recognise the different and evolving challenges facing the industry and demand for extracting timber on steep gradients and increased thinning works.
As such, we propose to invest in an 8 wheeled harvester to enable us to climb to 40% gradient slopes.
The specially equipped harvester, supported by a specialist thinnings forwarder would able us to work on steeper ground to extract unmanaged timber and to do so in a cost effective manner.
