Despite unfavorable weather conditions, the turnout was good on April 7 for the official grand opening of Equipment Linc LLC, Alabama’s newest logging equipment dealer located near Maplesville. Customers from near and far were treated first to an equipment demo held a few miles from the facility. They watched a DF703 Phoenix tri-wheel feller-buncher, mated with an 18 in. DF sawhead fitted with Quadco teeth, drop trees for a Tigercat skidder, which relayed them to a Barko 595B loader coupled with a CSI 496 delimber. For some younger loggers, this was their first time to see a tri-wheel buncher in action. DelFab introduced its machine a couple of years ago, many years after Valmet stopped production of its version, which was the last of its type to be manufactured. DelFab’s marketing manager, Tom Hirt, was on hand to answer questions and to point out notable features.
