Powered by a 166-hp John Deere engine (rear mounted for easy maintenance access), the L3600's baling chamber measures 70 inches wide by 90 inches deep by 192 inches long to keep production levels up. At 90 inches, the chamber is lower than many comparable designs to offer better operator visibility during processing, according to the company.

"For years, we've had customers who have been asking us to give them the same reliability and production in a logger to which they've become accustomed with their Big MAC flatteners," says West. "Redesigning and reintroducing the L3600 is our answer to them."
