[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 437843, member: 3008"] Yep. I went through the same thing. I worked in forestry and remember the first tree processor that came out of Sweden. The inventor/designer brought it to Scotland to trial and we felled the tree's for it. How we laughed at this machinery making an absolute dogs dinner of the timber. We were confident that was the last we would see of it. Seven years later I was virtually without a job on all except the most inaccessible ground. And even then the processor had morphed into a harvester which meant it could fell its own trees. It could do in a day what I could do in a week. Although in saying all of that, the old ways of the timber industry still operate in small pockets including using horses to extract the timber. Admittedly in a very niche market. Sorry. Drifting waayyy off topic here. [/QUOTE]
