Irving Woods and Sawmill
Natalie Jallette sits in the cockpit of a
sophisticated Valmet 901 Processor
and tries out the joy sticks.
Bonnie Anderson stands inside the
single-grip processor head of the
Valmet 901 which was doing a
commercial thinning operation.
This head grabs the tree and in one
single motion it severs the tree,
removes the limbs and bucks the tree
into log lengths. The volume of the
wood is measured by the machine
and recorded in an on board
computer.
We enjoyed a tour through J.D. Irving's
high tech sawmill.
