Current Issue

Brothers Ben and Jay Walton are partners and co-owners at Big Bend Timber Services, LLC, based in Monticello, Fla. When Southern Loggin’ Times caught up with Big Bend in November, the Walton brothers had two of their five crews engaged in storm cleanup work around Valdosta, Ga., just north of the state line, in the aftermath of September’s Hurricane Helene. The crews were using a mix of TimberPro and Tigercat tracked or dual-tired machines in an effort to remove damaged timber before blue stain and bug infestations can set in.
