Back in 2010, BTB visited silviculture contractor, Donald Robbins who collaborated with Mackolines Machines & Hire to modify a 610 series skidder to suit his requirements for a silviculture base carrier. Eight years later, we revisited Donald’s operations to check up on the machines and learn a little more about his current challenges and the importance of modern, reliable, purpose-built equipment.
