Weβre proud to welcome a brand new 2025 John Deere 2510H Forwarder to the fleet β 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. Vernonβs experience and attention to detail make him the ideal operator for this machine, and we know heβll make it hum.
A big thanks to everyone involved in getting this unit on site

π¨βπ§ Farewell Tyson Murphy π οΈ
After 18 years with Merrett Logging, today weβre saying farewell to one of our own.
Tyson started with us in 2008 as a heavy vehicle apprentice β our very first apprentice β and has grown with the business every step of the way. Not only did he complete his trade, he backed it up with a second trade in Automotive Electrical, continually building his skillset and becoming one of the most knowledgeable technicians in our team.
Over the years Tyson has come to understand our fleet inside out. From John Deere equipment and Waratah harvesting attachments through to fitting our Guardian safety systems, his training, attention to detail and problem-solving ability have played a huge role in keeping our operation running safely and efficiently.
More than just a super smart technician, Tys has been part of countless milestones at Merrett Logging. A tragic horse owner and punter with plenty of stories (itβs like something you would see on blue heelers or something) and a genuinely cracking bloke to have in the shed and in our management team.
While heβs decided to move into a different career path, he leaves with our full respect and appreciation. We wish him nothing but success in his next chapter and thank him sincerely for everything heβs given to the business over the past 18 years.
