TimbeRRRRRRRRR! First Gear's New Forestry Models

The methods and techniques used for cutting and moving lumber have evolved over the decades.  

In the early days, loggers used to cut timber with axes and handsaws.  For easy transport, they also cut near rivers or they had to use other ways of transport like dragging them with old fashion "horse power" , like pictured below.

However, with today's advances and technology, they have made logging a lot easier and faster.  Please enjoy these videos, where the new Komatsu Harvester and Forwarder make logging look like child's play.

Let's start with the Komatsu 931.1 Harvester...it is amazing how quickly it cuts and strips down the trees in a matter of seconds.



The cutting is done...now it's time to move all the logs back to the work site. The ability of the Komatsu 865 Forwarder makes it look like they are playing with Lincoln Logs.

If you enjoyed  Komatsu's real life Harvester and Forwarder, then you will love what First Gear has done!

First Gear has some NEW forestry models with all new tooling arriving later this summer, including the Komatsu 931.1 Harvester and 865 Forwarder.
