Madill feller bunchers 1200 to 3200C – the steep-slope machines of the Canadian west coast: 1200 and 1250 as the light, 2200 to 3200 as the heavy range, T for the levelling version, Cummins
Madill of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island is the forestry-machine builder of the Canadian west coast: since 1911 as a supplier to the timber industry, since the 1970s with its own yarders, loaders and feller bunchers for the steep slopes of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, where Douglas firs and hemlocks of two metres in diameter stand on which the machines of the South fail. Feller bunchers cut the tree with a head on the boom and lay it down in bunches; the type logic: 1200 and 1250 are the lighter range, 2200, 2250 and 3200 the heavy one, B and C the generations, T marks the levelling version in which the upper structure is set horizontal on the slope. The engines come from Cummins (QSL of 8.9 litres), Isuzu (6HK1X of 7.8 litres) and Detroit Diesel (Series 50 of 8.5 litres). Madill went bankrupt in 2008; Nicholson Manufacturing of Sidney near Victoria took over the brand and carries parts and service.

The register lists 9 versions with 212.5 to 227.4 kW from engines of 7,800 to 9,001 cm³ at 2,000 to 2,200 rpm and widths from 3,149 to 3,453 mm.
Madill machines are unknown in Europe and a byword for ruggedness in North America: the 3200C is regarded as one of the heaviest feller bunchers of its time, built for trees for which Tigercat and John Deere offer no heads.
On used machines, operating hours, the condition of undercarriage, slew ring and levelling, boom and felling head, hydraulic pumps and coolers and parts supply, which runs through Cummins, Isuzu and Detroit for the engines and Nicholson for the machine, are what count.
