Bogie Skidder, a true woodland warrior designed to conquer wet conditions and steep slope terrain. Incorporating the proven, durable features found on the John Deere L-II Skidder lineup, the new 768L-II maximizes productivity, performance, and comfort when carrying hefty loads over long distances in challenging conditions.
“Profitability and productivity are critical in the woods, and as loggers take to new areas for jobs, they need dependable machines that are built with these niche applications in mind,” said Matthew Flood, product marketing manager, John Deere. “With our new 768L-II Bogie Skidder, we’re delivering a purpose-built machine that navigates tough terrain, such as swamps or steep slopes. Providing distinct features, the John Deere bogie skidder helps loggers maximize their potential, regardless of the conditions.”
The 281-horsepower 768LII features heavy-duty bogie axles, which incorporate large components to maximize durability and stability for long axle and tire life. The heavy-duty axles are purpose-built for tough applications, effortlessly pulling heavy loads and maneuvering tough terrain. The smooth, stable operation results in reduced machine vibration, ultimately minimizing operator fatigue. Another key feature is the excellent tractive ability and floatation. When combined with the bogie axles, ground pressure is reduced, allowing the 768L-II to work in wet terrain not accessible with a four-wheel skidder. As a result, the harvesting window is extended, adding more working days to the calendar.
MAXIMUM 22.3 -SQ.-FT. GRAPPLE ON THE 768L-II & 948L-II
The new arch design provides the operator with an expansive rearward view of the grapple and work area, providing excellent visibility. Improving maneuverability, the long wheelbase and boom-arch envelope boost reach and lift capability for the boom and grapple, increasing dexterity in the woods. The tight turning radius enhances agility at the landing.
“The John Deere bogie skidder is hands down twice as good as a regular four-tire skidder. It’s just all-around better in my book for productivity and ground disturbance,” said Jason Dawson of Triple J Logging. “With the 768L-II, you can carry twice as much of a load, especially in wet conditions and on the steep terrain, without tearing the ground up.”

Shredders & Grinders
Size-reduction technology is looking more and more profitable as a secondary revenue stream or primary business
The argument goes that any forms of green product, particularly green and renewable energies, will be favoured as governments use increased stakes in enterprise to force the environment to the front of the business agenda.
This is likely to be a boon for forestry in general, but particularly for biomass production. And while high-level chippers may be the primary recipient of this new favour, all size-reduction technologies could potentially have an angle into new business.
Here, we present some of the leading products in this technology space that could turn forest waste into money for entrepreneurs.

Equipment manufacturer Rawlings describes itself as a “proven leader” in size reduction technology that specializes in helping business owners with the design of custom wood-waste recovery systems for specific processing needs and budgets.
Rawlings states it can handle every aspect of configuring, building, installing, and supporting a complete materials processing system. Its electric stationary systems come in all shapes and sizes – indoor/outdoor; from simple stand-alone vertical hogs for saw and paper mills, to complete multi-dimensional systems.
“Add a wide variety of available options, and you’ve got the flexibility to customize the perfect wood waste recovery system,” the company stated.
Each system can be designed with work platform decks, choice of belt, chain or vibrating in-feed and out-feed conveyors, metal or magnet protection, product screening and separation all customizable for specific operations.
Markets for wood waste start with feedstock for engineered woods, landscape mulch, soil conditioner, animal bedding, compost additive, sewage sludge, and boiler fuel. All these end uses have similar processing requirements in that the wood waste has to be separated from other wastes, cleaned by removing contaminants and fasteners, and, in some cases, processed through grinding or chipping. The final use of the wood waste often determines how clean and consistent the feedstock must be (California Integrated Waste Management 2001).
“During our 40 years designing wood waste grinding systems we have found that most of our clients are looking to get the smallest end particle size on a single pass, onestage pass through the grinder,” Rawlings said. “We often suggest that this is not always the most economical option in the long run.
“Running the grinder and related equipment at full surge capacity results in higher consumption of spare parts and maintenance costs. And depending if you’re using electricity or diesel fuel these costs add up over time.”
During the preliminary design there are many factors that should be considered. Such factors include species of wood, moisture content, diameter and length of incoming wood waste, metal contamination and most importantly the required end product size.
For high volume high capacity wood handling operations that typically receive a large variety of contaminated materials such as railroad ties, pallets, construction, demolition and hurricane waste, Rawlings recommends wood waste systems to incorporate a combination of equipment. This could include both horizontal and vertical feed grinders.
Horizontal grinders or slow speed grinders are often utilized as the primary grinder while the vertical grinders are used to produce a smaller more consistent particle size. Using metal protection, product screening and separation allows the customer to protect their investment while producing a high-quality consistent end product.
If the wood handling system is designed to receive a steady stream of bark or sawmill waste a vertical feed hog is the preferred option. Typically in this scenario most of the incoming material is preprocessed further upstream and it already sized to be processed through this type of grinder.
Rawlings Vertical Grinders
Each unit is equipped with the Rawlings Super Hi-Inertia Solid Steel Rotor. With the increased inertia of the solid steel rotor our machine runs at lower RPM’S than many competitors, resulting in overall savings of electricity and maintenance costs.
The Rawlings wood hog is recognized in the industry as a ‘Green monster hog’ and provides the crushing and shearing power needed to handle really tough jobs like green waste, cypress, redwood, cedar, black spruce, poplar and a wide range of other stringy and fibrous material. The machines are also tolerant of contaminants, rocks and metal without catastrophic maintenance costs if metal enters the grinding chamber.
“For over 40 years, we’ve assisted our customers in utilizing renewable resources while reducing and recycling a wide variety of wood waste into valuable wood fiber products,” Rawlings stated. “We offer a complete line up of seven different sizes of both vertical and horizontal hogs to fit any application.”

Superlative shredder technology
With the BA 916 and BA 926 series, JENZ successfully introduced its new shredder generation to the market in recent years. Now the largest biomass processor to date, the BA 965, has also been revised. The result is the BA 1016 - a new dimension in the JENZ shredder range.
New introduction of the largest JENZ biomass processor BA 1016
The development work for the BA 1016 is largely based on the experience of our BA 916/926 newcomers, which have been very well received on the market to date,” explains Dominik Meden, JENZ product manager and specialist in the field of shredder technology. “This starts with the optimal intake geometry, followed by the pronounced userfriendliness and ending with the new hydraulic system ‘JENZ Smart Hydraulic’. In addition, there is the screening technology for shredding applications, which is newly developed for the BA 926, which is also not to be missed in the BA 1016. The result is a technically mature and enormously powerful machine that nevertheless stands out clearly from its ‘little brother’ BA 926.”
Powerful engine for extreme throughputs
Equipped with a Caterpillar C18, the BA 1016 has an output of 812 hp. The CAT engine, installed in the largest configuration, makes
the BA 1016 extremely powerful in terms of throughput. “ We consider the fact that it continues to do just fine without AdBlue and yet also meets the Stage V requirements, as particular advantages of the C18. The distinctive torque curve allows us to operate at wear- and fuelsaving speeds while still increasing throughput. Maximum efficiency and throughputs of over 400 m3 were the goal here,” says Dominik Meden.
Focus on user-friendliness
Similar to the BA 916 and 926 series, the new BA 1016 also focuses on user-friendliness. This includes smartphone-like control via the proven JENZ easy2 machine control system, the Operator Info System with LED status lights and new easy2CONNECT radio remote control, or intelligent assistance systems such as the GFA (Grinder Feed Assistant) infeed control. Ergonomic maintenance has also been taken into account. “The two-part screen basket system in particular makes screen basket changing fast and ergonomic, as it can be done by just one person,” emphasizes Dominik Meden. The operator’s everyday work is made easier by the newly implemented “JENZ Smart Hydraulic” hydraulic system. “In the area of the intake, we have significantly improved control behavior as a result. In short: we can selectively keep the auxiliary engine lugging and thus can use the complete performance spectrum of the engine and bring it selectively to its capacity limit. This results in more throughput, paired with lower fuel consumption. Additional advantage: the machine and the auxiliary engine are protected by the quieter, constant operation.”
New conveyor belt for optimized material flow and easy transport
Due to its inlet width of 1,620 mm and its inlet height of 960 mm, the BA1016 can process large quantities of material. To ensure that the enormous material flow is low in fuel and wear, the JENZ engineers rely on an extra-large screening surface and a specially developed discharge belt. “In total, the conveyor belt has become longer and wider and scores with an increased delivery speed. As a result, even difficult material can now be conveyed onto high transport vehicles with a maximum discharge height of 5.10 m. Due to the increased width and the selected profile, the material layer thickness is lower and the magnets can clean the material optimally. The result: very clean end material,” says the product manager. An additional plus point of the new conveyor belt: a reduced machine length. This is ensured by a different folding technique that enables machine transport without a special permit or special vehicle. “We are proud that we have succeeded in combining 812 hp performance with a compact transport length of 10.55 m. This makes the BA 1016 a mobile but very powerful shredder with technology that is kept simple. This
enables worldwide operations, even in remote regions,” says Meden.
The product manager sees a wide range of applications: “Due to the energy transition, heating material from waste wood and roots is increasingly in demand, so that powerful machines are becoming more and more important. Likewise, the compost market is demanding ever more powerful shredders due to rising fertilizer prices. This is exactly where the BA 1016 comes in with its efficiency and enormous throughput.” Greenwaste

KESLA crane models suitable for bioenergy use, for example for feeding chippers and shredders: 2112T, 2115T, 2117T, 2012T and 1200. The crane range includes Vision XL cabin, proC control system (with either Parker or Olsbergs valve), stabilizer legs beam (width L=4500) and compressor air conditioning.
Kesla timber cranes fit for bioenergy
stress, revealing any weakness in the structure.
A long reach is a feature many wish to have for their bioenergy crane. Kesla cranes offer a maximum reach of up to 12.5 m, with stabilizers ensuring stability. Stabilizers with a width of 3.8 m are typically preferred on forest roads, whereas extra-wide (4.5 m) options can be used for maximum stability at terminals with more space.
Easy serviceability is naturally important both in traditional and bioenergy use to ensure long service life for the crane. Automatic centralized greasing, which carries out the lubrication of the crane, is particularly popular.
Comfortable working in long continuous operations

Political developments show up need for subsistence forestry and facilitating technologies
The need for self-sufficiency in energy production has become more prominent since the start of the war in Ukraine. Wood is an excellent, renewable and carbon-neutral energy source, and residual wood can be chipped for energy. This has seen demand for chippers increase in 2022.
Besides traditional timber handling, Kesla cranes can be used for the efficient feeding of chippers of any make.
Cranes used for feeding chippers must be durable
Chipper feeding includes long continuous operating periods compared to the traditional transport of wood, where the crane is only needed when picking up timber from the site and later at a terminal, for example. It increases the requirements for the durability of cranes in bioenergy use. Kesla cranes are designed with durability in mind.
“Our cranes are mainly made of high-strength steel. Production design has studied the properties of high-strength steel carefully, and the work methods have been selected based on the properties of the material,” says Ari Pirhonen, Business Director of Truck and stationary cranes.
“Welding, of course, is an important work phase, and we have ISO 3834-2 certification as proof of the excellent quality of the welds.”
Surprisingly, the streamlined design of the cranes, especially at the joints, also improves their fatigue durability. All models in the Kesla range have passed a fatigue test before entering the market. The fatigue test exposes the crane to extreme Kesla Vision XL is a slightly more spacious cabin, providing extra comfort in long continuous crane work for larger operators as well. Comfort and ergonomics can be further improved with an optional air seat and armrests.
The temperature can be adjusted as desired by equipping the cabin with heating and air conditioning.
Electric control, which is the preferred choice for chipper feeding, can be had with either mini joysticks or vertical levers. The combination of a control
valve with generous flow capacity and an electric control system adjusted to personal preferences guarantees excellent efficiency and ergonomics.
Good visibility is ensured by the large window area and the positioning of the cabin on either the right or left side of the pillar, as required. Strong polycarbonate windows secure cabin safety. The cabin can be equipped with the Cyclone air cleaner and F9-level fresh air filtering.
“Kesla’s extensive experience with chippers is evident in the design of the cranes,” says Pirhonen.
KESLA Vision XL cabin offers comfortable working conditions also when working long hours.
