Logging processor question

Post by Kruelkamo »

Hey guys, got kind of a mod/idea question for the loggers out there. So I know that BSM is coming with his excavator soon and I was wondering if it would be possible to make the scorpion king head into a fixed head processor? I most definitely don’t have any modding experience so I wouldn’t know. Obviously I’m asking for console usage but... lol. So say that the scorpion king can only be used as a dangle processor head on the scorpion king, how do you console loggers out there process your timber? Thanks

Yeah it comes with a dangle grapple, a fixed grapple, and a feller buncher. The only thing it’s missing for a complete logging setup is a processor head. But I mean I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on processing at the landing with the scorpion king. That thing is a pain to get the head to turn over lol

Are you trying to cut the fallen tree into usable pieces with the Scorpion?

Yes. So you know how you can turn the scorpion king head off and on and real quick and it’ll drop it. Well I do that, then skid 4-5 trees to the landing, then I get my other scorpion king and turn the head over the top of the logs I just brought in and I process them. If you’ve ever seen FDR, they have a buncher operator, a skidder man, a processor ( which uses a fixed processing head) and then eventually a driver who delivers. But here lately what I’ve been doing is cutting, processing out in the woods, skidding a processed tree or two and then load with wheel loader.

Ok, now I see, When I used the scorpo, I made sure I drag the logs to where I needed to process them to size. Maybe someone will make a fixed processor head sometime.

Yeah. That’s one of the modding possibilities that someone could take advantage of lol. But I mean just the mod on its own is gonna make a big difference to logging in the game. I hope anyways lol

Or a trailered loader with a saw buck or slasher would work for prossing logs.

Yeah I could go for a buck saw for processing. Just skid em in and use the BSM loader to load and unload the buck saw. I would imagine a buck saw would be easier to mod rather than a processing head for the excavator would be. Lol.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to take a closer look at that buck saw, but the skidder I really like. I’m actually digging the lifted skidder attachment using those CSZ adapters. Those videos were actually the perfect thing I was looking for. I think the way I’m doing it now is pretty efficient for moving loads out. But I will for sure look into that buck saw
