Features

Mellott Model 7 Log Turner

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
