Wow I wish we could grow trees that size in 19 years.  I'm not aware of the weight of teak but if it is heavy wood I'm guessing the forwarder will experience drive train issues if is consistently loaded with wood that long.CheersKen

19 years! Well make no wonder they have plantations!

The underbush and non disired vegetation is also growing that quick!Teak is very heavy green. its 1000kilo per cubic meter (62.4lbs/cu ft), dry its about 600kg/m3The load cap is 14to on this machine and they brought 17m3 in one trip so 17to! so i agree with you on the overloading

They will break up the tail of that cat.    Nice photos all the same.

17 tonThat's quite a load !!

Nice wood , and fast growing . I had teak coffee tables years ago and the wood is beautiful , oiled them yearly with teak oil .

If you oil them yearly the color stays beautiful, if not they get a grey color with the time but with or without oil, teak has a natural oil already inside thats why teak is absolutely bug and weather proof!

Wow, those growth rates are incredible! I also agree with the others, they are going to bust that machine up in short order loading it like that.
