We had both machines stuck and getting them out is quite the chore. The Cat Skidder and the Cat Buncher both had to claw there way out!! #stuck #mud #logging
Hi John, WOW!! I didn't think you where going to get your self out with the front end down that deep. Good job my friend. You're hired!!👍👍 Take care buddy!! Your friend and fellow logger, Al.
You are one cool head.. Unless it is just on camera.. LOL You just roll with the punches.. I grew up in a logging family in Michigan and also did some logging in Northern California in the big sugar pine timber.. Keep up the good work.. I enjoy seeing your videos.. R.B.
Dude, your skidder is SO quiet! Lol. I ran 518's, 528's, and D7E'e and D7F's in Weyerhauser's Eastern Oregon division. Best years of my life. Loved the video!
Done very something very similar, the buncher cut as much as he could going forward till he got stuck, then I had to drag him out backwards with the skidder. We called it bungee cutting
Reminds me of a dump site near me, they got both of their cat track loaders sunk so called out one of those heavy duty wreckers and he ended up getting stuck too trying to take a shortcut on-site.
So did the other cutter guy leave or just add another guy to the crew. Yeah that's a mess at least you both got out and just keep Rollin and keep up the great video's
YOu learn not to go in the same tracks twice. And when it sets down a little, stop and you don't have to sit on top of the cab waiting to get rescued. Knowing when to stop is a LOT of it. Prayers and BLESSINGS and Goomer Hugs!
I was the guy wanting to see more stuck videos. Thought I jinxed you. But this was the best stuck video I’ve seen in a while. I hope you make money off of it. I know it was tough as hell fooling with the camera.
I’m watching the big girl spin a wheel on the stump and I’m wishing it had the limited slip axels because that was nearly out on its own at the end :o) ( i’d Say diff locks, but nothing seems to have the shaft strength for that anymore)
Muskeg , we used to lose excavators literally sink 'em in that crud in the '70's slave Lake Alberta, if anybody is watching and ever wondered why they usually only drill oil in the winter...muskeg is why
Yep,gotta cut trees and lay them down to use for a "road" to track out on.Common method for logging wet ground and swamp.Pick up the log road on the way back out.
@@paulmccallum4229 just didn't know to run it properly, I've seriously walked around a swamp, water all around the buncher, lift tracks to walk and turn..only common sense
If you get a dual arch skidded stuck it’s bad But I’ve never so stuck I couldn’t get my self out use the dual arch to push your way out I’ve done it serval times in situations way worse than this
Why no chains on those wheels? Is it because the environment reasons? With chains both those machines would get out that little amount of mud on their own. Also a track buncher would be way better, it can easy push it self out with the boom, and of course drop the heavy weight of the trees first before trying to get unstuck
I thought you bought that tiger cat for this job, course you'll be lucky not to stick that too but at least he can build a road with the smaller trees in front of him and still be able to work a poor choice of Machinery I know you got to do what you got to do what you got to work with but I see why you bought the tiger cat
Why are the stumps all at different Heights summer very tall aren't you supposed to cut a next to the ground so you can drive over don't you guys use gloves when you're dealing with cables and hooks I'm sorry I must be in a bad mood today it sounds like I'm bitching I just was asking a question but you do find job lol thanks for the video nothing like watching somebody else's misery and not having to actually live through your own maybe tomorrow will be better
