The Model 7 log turner is available in both a turn up and a turn down version. The mast of the turn up version is angled away from the carriage so that the turner will pull out on the bottom of a log or cant. This makes turning a log easier and allows the corner of a cant to swing out while turning, requiring less mast movement and less operator input. Extra heavy construction and a simple design are used throughout the Model 7 in order to keep maintenance and down time to a minimum.
