Top Gear’s Richard Hammond is coming to America, and he’s strapping into some serious machinery. But three days to master the world’s toughest vehicles… might not be enough!
In the midst of an Oregon forest, Richard Hammond’s skills are put to the test when he is challenged to become a lumberjack and master three massive machines that cut and process wood.
* The Feller Buncher is used to cut down trees and can process 1,000 trees a day.
* The Dangle Head Processor handles the logs like toothpicks, as it cuts, strips and slices wood in less than a minute.
* The Log Loader adds organization to the chaos by stacking the logs.
But before Richard can touch the machines, he has to prove he has what it takes to become a lumberjack. Can he master his fear of heights and climbing 50 feet up a tree?!
