Timber Harvesting magazine Senior Associate Editor David Abbott travels to Crossville, Tennessee to visit FNT Logging, LLC. If it’s true that fortune favors the bold, then Floyd Turner, 51, should be in quite the favorable position. The owner of FNT Logging, LLC, based in the eastern Tennessee town of Crossville, has never been one to shy away from experimenting with new and different technologies or methods. For example, back in 2003 Turner ran several machines that were rarely used by southern loggers. The roster included an 8-wheeled Timbco skidder, a clambunk Timbco combination feller-buncher/skidder, a Timberline stroke delimber and a Morbark 2455 flail chipper. All of this was to help handle big, rough hardwood stems he deemed too difficult to process efficiently at the loader.
