Logger, Engineer Roll Out New Remote-Controlled Tracked Slasher

Spruce Creek Mechanical, operated by logger John Steciak and engineer Tom Johnson, introduces the remote-controlled tracked slasher saw, which requires no cords or hoses and is touted as a safer method to buck logs.

“Cut the umbilical cord” with a self powered slasher mounted on a self-propelled tracked carrier similar to tracked chippers and grinders. The low and long undercarriage keeps the slasher close to the ground and stable. It can be turned and adjusted at a moment’s notice to fit the ever-changing scene on a modern logging job. No hydraulics or electrics to hook up; cordless remote control can be used in any log handling machine. 

Whether you have a large style log loader on tracks, a turntable loader on wheels, an excavator or even an older log loader, you can now cut up trees into logs at amazing speed with a small versatile and affordable self-powered slasher. For the small operator that is content with his size, he can back up his rear mount loader and pull trees sideways onto the slasher deck beneath him to cut them to length. Two-foot increment marks are built into the frame.
