"The Waratah works really well. It flies through the Corsican and Douglas Fir we’ve got. It’s got real good speed. It’s built to work in this sort of place."
NIGEL HUTCHINSON, Bluewood Thinning, New Zealand
"I think Waratahs are the toughest out there. We put a lot of demand on them. We’ve been dealing with trees up to 28” in diameter, some bigger."
BEN REED, Wayne Stone Logging, Oregon, US
"The 622C is great in the small pine with its multi-stemming capabilities; excellent in the medium size wood, and works excellent in the big Fir."
STEVEN TRESIERRA, McNiel & Sons, British Columbia, CA
"Waratah is made to work. I sit in there most days and listen to satellite radio. And to be able to do that, for the abuse the head takes, it’s really a testament to their design and to the technology."
ERIC BISBALLE, Bisballe Forest Products, Michigan, US
"When I first started running Waratah, the support team came out. They went through all the system functions with the head to make sure everything was working right before they left."
ADAM KURTZ, RD Reeves, Washington, US
"The support behind the head is awesome. They’re behind me every time I call."
DAN AHONEN, Dan Ahonen Logging, Michigan, US
