Custombuilt 664 Slasher

This slasher was custom built from a Clark/Ranger 664 cable skidder with a serco loader mounted on it. The slasher or buzz box was custom made by Morphet's Welding in Emo, Ontario. This machine has been running very steady for over 25 years already and it's still going strong.

Where I'm from in east Texas west La. We haven't hauled wood like this since back in the 80s. Everything is hauled long ways now days.

i have watched this a few times and didn't realize till now how efficient this is compared to most slashers I have seen... so much less swinging. its straight in instead of swing it 90 degrees and then in

Nice unit. Good to move quick and go on rough road, if needed.

I'd love to have that in our landing. Nice custom slasher

Looks good but I hope the saw blade doesnt come off and go threw the cab.

Very cool post more vids

[@HarvesterForwarderMore]

very cool!

[@bfurailroad1104]

I built one too but mine is way way smaller than this one!

[@kyleharmon4245]

only problem i see is that the blade is aimed right at the cab.

[@bfurailroad1104]

it wont hurt too much!

Nice machine. I know this is an old video now, but I'm curious: I've seen longer logs stacked lengthwise unloaded by giant gantry cranes or those huge forklift log loaders, but when trucks are loaded in this direction how are they unloaded quickly at the mill? Thanks

There’s two ways I’ve seen it done. Either with a large swing machine with really long reach and a large grapple or a wheel loader with a huge grapple attachment on it instead of a bucket.

Hi jeff,
Myself siva from India. Can you please guide whether the circular saw slasher can be operated with PTO power of tractor. We need to built similar unit for our pulb wood requirements in India

[@friesenbros]

I would think it could be but you’d have to ask someone smarter than me. I wasn’t involved in building this machine. In this particular machine the saw is driven by a hydraulic motor.

That is a timberjack skidder

No, definitely a 664 Clark
