Any Video with Senior adding his insight is worth watching. He is THE MAN. Its as though you are the research ship exploring ocean mysteries while he is the Anchor.
What a magnificent tractor the RD6 is. I love how you can let the diesel warm and lubricate itself with the pony motor and the compression release deployed. Once you get the main engine where you want it, just add fuel and compression and off you go. Kind of the way you start a turbine engine in an airplane. Senior's comments after the tree was down lend a lot of insight into the process, particularly how he described that the green leaves would continue to pull water out of the trunk and limbs while it sits there for a while. No hurry to cut it up just yet. Good job.
You are some fine people. Feel like I just had a visit with a couple good friends. You guys have a bond (you and senior) that is unmistakably deep. Senior is really cool, really smart and you are walking very well into his foot steps. Love you guys good health and long life to you, senior and the TORQUE MONSTER! God bless be safe
I really appreciate the extra time spent setting up cameras and capturing you two working while haivng fun doing it. Who does not enjoy "playing tractors" as long as it is not as employment. I am always impressed by what looks like it is past its working days but still runs like new, thanks to the magic touch of a gifted mechanic. "I'm loving it."
We like field work, we like filler, we like it all! Whatever you and Senior do always seems to be entertaining and educational. (Apparently you are very good at editing)
The RD-6 video was GREAT, like to see and hear the old girl do her STUFF!! makes me miss my old D6 cat!! Thanks for the video, and take care, have a good CAT day!!
Watching your Cat pulling trees is why I came to this channel. Used to be a landscaper and pulled shrubs with my pickup truck. The Cat looks way more fun. Sure didn't have to work very hard on that old oak tree today.
Filler video or not i really enjoyed it! Anytime we get to hear and see the equipment in action is a good thing! Good job guys, the tree fell right where you wanted to.
This video made my day! I could watch videos of this Ole girl doing what it does best all day. The sound of those 3 pistons popping never get old. It's also nice to watch the older guys work their magic on dropping a big tree. Cheers squatch253
Always good to see Senior sharing his knowledge on things 👍. That old torque monster just sings such a sweet sound mostly bass track 🙄💪😁 the way energy prices are going well over here they are sky rocketing the more firewood you got the better 👌great. Video 👌
Glad to see you using hearing protection, it will help you keep what hearing you have. I go to drag racing, and outlaw kart races and use protection to keep what I have at 69 years old!!!
I thought the same thing when I saw the ear muffs. I've been around loud equipment, tools, drag cars, etc. all my life. Now in my 60's I wish I would have used hearing protection. Can't hear higher pitches at all, can't carry on a conversation without saying "what" all the time. Anybody trying to protect their hearing gets a thumbs up from me.
We heat and eat here in Chile using Fire Wood. We spend a big part of our time sawing up trees that have fallen or needed to fall. We also make a lot of fence posts out of our trees. We use chain saws to make the posts and boy it is hard work. Nice job with the tree. I would love to have a little crawler like that here to help on the farm. Jim
Powerful machine, love the sound of 3 cylinder , I’ve been working on my RD7 looking forward to running it like you do . Thanks for sharing all you do Greatly appreciated it
Looks great guys! A little bit of logging and a little bit of Caterpillar makes for a great video! Keep it up! Also still very interested in getting that Allis Chalmers G plow from you if you're ready to give it up🤣
Man you guy’s have some great toys to play around with. Great job Senior on cutting down that tree! Also explaining the situation and what’s the next plan for that tree.👌😎👍great job guy’s!
Senior is waay more courageous than i with rotten trees. I usually line them and then use leverage to tension them in the direction i want to fall them before finally cutting them. Benefit of decades worth of experience i guess. :) Also, don't sweat it about slow progress. Creativity is a slow and steady process.
i watch many videos with people starting this equipment that are gas start . i can say i like the way you spend the real time in letting it warm up like it should. most not give it much warm up time like they are working with a di engine not a pre-cup engine that you have and are in the older equipment diesels
The RD6 did it again. Also good score with getting firewood out of that oak. The track press seems to be very interesting. I got to ask a old mechanic how did they deal with worn out track pins on the bigger CAT clones that have a similar setup track chain.
Did you use 5/8" wire rope & how long was your cable that you & your father drug off those stumps & fell the standing tree. Good video. I have a D4-7U cat dozer w/winch. I need to replace the rotten rusty 3/4" cable that is on the winch now with new or newer cable. What is your thoughts on 5/8" wire rope doing the tugging you guys were doing in your video. Thanks for the watch.
What, you fed us filler material ? OK, OK, I enjoyed watching the torque monster again listening to those huge pistons pumping up and down. Eagerly awaiting to see a demonstration of you dissembling the track chains.
Looking forward to seeing how that jig works for rebuilding track chains. If that’s what it’s for! Lol. But it’s another of the specialty tools made for the rebuild.
Ha ha what funny ppl we are. You're telling us to enjoy footage of an antiquated, obsolete machine pulling down a tree, and we do, lol! BTW what wheeled tractor is that sitting in the weeds on the right side of the screen? Will we be seeing it soon? 😉 P.S. I also own an antiquated, obsolete machine, though mine is a Farmall Super A. Your Farmall restoration can take the credit (or blame) for interesting me into buying such a thing! It has proved very useful mowing my acre lot, and pulling down trees and pulling out a stump after storms.
I'd be interested in some oak planks for a trailer deck project that's been bouncing around in my head for awhile if it's something Sr. wants to get in to!
Squach253: I saw this video and saw 2 things you need for your shop. Search you t u b e for 2UlhIWKv-A8 and and you should find a junk yard video. Check time stamp 2:16 and 9:42 for tools of your dreams. 😁
