spec sheet |
The Model 7 log
turner is available in both a turn up and a turn down version. The mast
of the turn up version is angled away from the carriage so that the
turner will pull out on the bottom of a log or cant. This makes turning
a log easier and allows the corner of a cant to swing out while turning,
requiring less mast movement and less operator input. Extra heavy construction
and a simple design are used throughout the Model 7 in order to keep
maintenance and down time to a minimum.
- Frame constructed of S12 x 31.8 Lb. beam
- Pivot shaft is 3 7/16” diameter
- Pivot bearings are one piece urethane sleeve bearings
- Log turning chain is an extra heavy version of Rc160
- Log turning chain is direct driven by a planetary gearbox with a plug in hydraulic motor
- The chain take-up is enclosed in the turner mast to prevent damage
- The side and bottom chain wear plates are replaceable
