All models has been on the B-series platform in NA for about 12 months now and globally about 6 months. Just long enough for us to feel comfortable announcing it to everyone.

@eltecforestry oh nice, hopefully ones got my name on it haha

Good maintenance procedures should keep things running even beyond that.

@eltecforestry yep you're not wrong about that, good bit of machinery, definitely built well

We're glad you were able to meet him.

It's already out

Complement appreciated, but I'm sure your log loader skills are ninja level in either FS or IRL;)

@@eltecforestry One day im gonna run and Eltec and test that theory ;)

Yup, each one is set up as 1 one of our B series models.

We would tell you what we've seen, but hopefully someone out there can provide you a none bias review.

That shot where 3 Eltecs are working together, that 277 with the grapple is the machine im currently operating, has 8560 hours on it now, had Woodsman felling head fitted before 2700 hours, still going awesome

Currently on 9270 hours, still going very strong

Truth is we provide better service, have better parts and still build beyond our competitor specs... but the one thing we have a hard time accounting for are bad operators that blame the machine. As mentioned in a previous response, we have a program through our dealers to retrain trolls to be loggers again; just contact your closest dealer for more info.

Best response I’ve ever read. I wonder if Eltec makes ointments cause ole Matt is going to need some for that burn

@@cumminspower517 Appreciated. As for blister ointments, that isn't our core business cause they only show up when the work is done;)

I've logged in northern b.c. for 20 years run every brand that makes logging equipment none we're as unreliable as a eltec had one brake down walking into the block off the lowbed.

@@mattdnson6110 That's some great insight into the one machine you didn't really get to use with a questionable maintenance record before it was delivered to a job site.

Never 😂

Our machines are similar in that they're both built in Canada and meant cut trees, but it ends there as we originally set out to build our machines to overcome the short comings of our competitors. Like the slogan says, built by logger for loggers. Give one of ours a rip if you get the chance and let us how you feel we could continue to improve.

@Garry Reliability is obviously key and something Eltec has worked to improve. What year was this?

Nothing like a tigercat absolutely the worst machine i ever sat in

@@mattdnson6110 We obviously don't like Tigercat either, you must've been a handicapped for so long using their platform that you'll have to relearn how to log when jumping onto a machine that requires a little more skill. Sign up to one of programs through our dealers and we'll walk your through how to log again.

lol logging with a axe takes a little more skill to you should include that in your dealer training that way you don't lose production when it's broke down

Narrow seats? Not sure how much of a wide load you carry, but we have seat options that expand to meet demand, they just need to be ordered ahead of time.

@Tyler Bailey. Ever even bin in one of these?

@@jasongerbrandt4728 he sounds like a simulator logger lol

Nope wrong shot

Not for this release

We build them pretty big, but the short answer is we can build them as big as you want them as we're one of the few manufacturers that do custom orders. www.technologieselement.com/ours-models/log-loaders/?lang=en

We're thinking of naming our next line Minotaur;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdGSdMaovs_cZ30.html

All we'll say is Tigercat retract their claws when we're play in the same yard;)

Tigercat is definitely more established and are focused on creating more bells and whistles, we focus on the operator having less distraction and make the machine act as an extension. Tigercat make great machines, our machines make operators great.

Our machines typically surpass the 30,000 hour mark regardless of the operator, but tend go beyond even that when the operator works smart.

You sound like you understand the work. We're hiring if you're looking.

@@eltecforestry haven't been in a Bucher or even the bush for few years due to M.S, I'm a town operator now unloading logging trucks in a sort yard

Right! Shoulda double cut!

@@mikehd3904 wasn't a double cutter. He went into the flare.

Let me try it ... started in bunchers in 1987
