NEW TIGERCAT FOR SPEIRS LOGGING
JOHN DEERE FOR FREEDOM LOGGING
ELTEC/SATCO COMBO FOR MAHUTA
When it comes to logging machinery, Glen McSporran, owner of Freedom Logging says, “Green for Go”. He has recently taken delivery of this John Deere 2656G log loader, fitted with a live heel, low side entry cab and Ensign 1730C grapple. The machine was spec’d out for shovelling duties for the Wairoa-based crew. Machine sold and supported by the Hawkes Bay AGrowQuip team.
Another new toy for Hayden, Sarah and the team at Mahuta Logging. This time an Eltec FHL317L fitted with a Satco 630E falling head. The first comment from Hayden after he had been running the machine (falling and shovelling stems) was, “The 630 has plenty of grab power”. This machine joins the Mahuta Logging fleet alongside a Sany harvester, log loader, winch and Madill 123, all supplied by Shaw’s.

Speirs Logging had a change of configuration and added a new Tigercat LS855E with a 5195 falling head to its ground-based operation on the East Coast. They say they are rapt with the Drive power and how it gets around the hill.
