Will Gilmer's guest lecture

I was out of town when the guest was here in class.  I believe this is the day when I sent Mrs. Shaw an email telling her I would be out of class.  I'm sure the guest lecture was interesting and I hate I missed it.

Tigercat's New Machine

Tigercat has recently made a number of design enhancements to the 5702 felling saw aimed at increasing versatility and performance in a wider variety of felling conditions.  The next generation 5702 features a new accumulating arm design. The arms are longer with a newer profile to improve accumulation of small trees.  The left ski and saw housing exit have been changed to improve chip exhaust and reduce plugging when felling large trees or when operating in deep snow or heavy undergrowth.  This new machine will help move Tigercat to the next level in timber removal.
