We’re proud to welcome a brand new 2025 John Deere 2510H Forwarder to the fleet – the first model used for production in the world.

Built for modern forestry and Green Triangle conditions, this machine brings serious performance and operator comfort to the job.

We are pumped to have Vernon Mansell taking the helm. Vernon’s experience and attention to detail make him the ideal operator for this machine, and we know he’ll make it hum.

A big thanks to everyone involved in getting this unit on site
