Thanks for this one Chris! Great vid for the morn coffee! Definitely quite an operation and neat to watch along with you! Thanks for taking us on the road trip with ya! Love your channel! 💯👍. See ya tomorrow! Andrew from NB :)
Reminds me of a time someone set the thing to 16" and just started filling a trailer. With the 3/4" saw curf, he had almost as much sawdust as wood. With 200hp or so, that thing filled the trailer right now!!
Nice video took few setting to get it done. They brought back the wolves in the salmon area and Yellowstone. The ranchers spent 100 year trying to get ride them. Don’t see many elk deer like when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE YOUR CLOSING COMMENT!! I could go on and on about our wolf problem here in the north woods of Wisconsin. It's been getting bad the last 4-5 years. Now they're moving in our high-end whitetail counties. GREAT CLIP!! - THANKS!
@@InTheWoodyard just finished snowblower, closer to a foot than a half a foot! Enough already! Thought about you and your parking lot while I was out there.... 😂
It's neat to me to see how one region of the US logs and how short they are. Here in Washington state, you see log trucks with full lingh logs.. thank you for taking us along 😁 👍
that was a great segment. logging has sure come a long way since the early 60's when i helped my uncles in the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY during the summer. Then it was a chainsaw, a horse to skid with and a log truck to bring the logs out of the header. That equipment is awesome.....and i'm sure expensive. appreciate you doing this one. it was nice to see this operation.....my first thought was there's gonna be some deer in here eating the tops...too bad.
The time and effort to save the last and smallest piece of every log trumps the whole rest of the tree! Glad they are able to use it but sure alot of wear and tear to get the last one! Thanks for letting us come watch again this winter. Always fascinating to see!👍 Sorry about the self inflicted wolf issues...😢 In my area. We are on the complete opposite side of things. The deer are so thick we can't get new trees we are planting to grow. Maybe you could could ship a couple dozen spayed/neutered wolves down here and by the time they die off. Hopefully, our deer herds would be in better balance.
When I was hauling pulpwood near Black River Falls, one of the cutting crews demod a new Ponse processor on a big flat clear cut. They cut over 300 cords in a normal day. That was an awesome machine with a price tag around half a million. That was in 2015, hate to guess what it is now.
A little bit different equipment compared to the loggers of the early days of Wisconsin. Neat stuff, thanks Chris. The storm went East of us, got a half inch of rain.
Chris, this was worth filming twice. The coverage was like watching a National Geographic Special. Wonder if Logger Al was able to use automation. Lots of moving parts. Last night's storm had a tornado less than 30 miles from us. Lots of wind, rain, thunder, and a lightning strike less than a quarter of a mile away. Thank You for taking us on a Field Trip.
@bert brei Good Morning Bert. All calm after the storms. 60s yesterday and 35 and rain and snow for today. Not a bad day for late October. Oh wait, it is April. Hope you are having fun.
Over by me, 80 miles west of Kenny the deer are more plentiful due to our earn a buck season. If you shoot a wolf you earn a buck tag. It has been very successful but it is somewhat clandestine. Also we have more ag land. Great video!
Conifers don't regenerate from stump sprouts. If they cut them all out they wouldn't reseed the clearcut area, conifers would have to reseed from the boundary inwards which would takes a 50 plus yrs to do.. It's a state job so coppicing the maple and aspen will allow the forest to start over again thru stump sprouts and aspen root shoots with the full sunlight. In 3 yrs the clearcut will be so thick with regen u wouldn't even want to walk thru it. Lots of good habitat for grouse rabbits and deer in the coming yrs. Forestry Management at its best . Now the dnr just needs to listen to the people in northern Wisconsin and open up a regulated wolf season again but the feds put them on the endangered list Feb 10/2022
Chris do you know what was doing to be developed there and what in the world happens to the stumps. Those poplar trees will grow right out of the root system and in 5 years there will be a million trees all 4 inches in diameter lol. Have a great day. Stay safe with all your crazy weather this weekend
Big toys for the big boys. Same thing happens here in northern Maine with the deer and such. My father spent lot of time up in the northern woods back when he was a wild man, but that’s a story for another day.
I remember back in the 80s and early 9os we would go up to Dunbar Penbine area in the cut offs there were hundreds of deer yarding up the eating all the tops not no more so sad .
That was a very enjoyable show tday Chris.... I have friends who live east of Jellystone NP..... the Big bad W has done a lot of livestock damage and Mule deer and Elk are being eliminated if not already... The Moose and Buffalo wont be far behind. There is only 1 predator introduced and it wasn't the grizz.... and nobody can figure out why the locals are upset
If your talking about the white or red pine the loggers have a contract what species to cut that must be out of the contract. Generally there left for seed trees or mother trees as they only reproduce from seeds. Hardwood come back from stump sprouts or root sprouts
the cat log loading truck is the bees knees has heat to the tractor trailor log loader truck guy has no cab or heat i think hes getting short changed great vid thank you
Stupidly a couple years ago Colorado voters voted to reintroduce wolves in CO. Even after farmers and some wildlife biologists argued against it. Farmers warned the state wildlife officials they would have to take care of the problem if they started losing cattle. What about the wildlife we will lose for the hunting economy?
Hi, I just cut down a sequoia Oaktree in central California, everything is cut 18" or less and the trunk was 4 feet diameter and I split a 1/4 of it with a manual hydraulic Log splitter, biggest diameter I was able to split was 16" and I stacked it on pallets. I don't burn wood to heat my house so this wood is going to last me probably 10 years plus for camping. Should I split everything or is it best to keep the rest in whole logs so they won't over dry by the time I get around to using them. Will I be able to split this Oak once it completely dries out? Is it easier to split wet oak logs or dry oak logs, keep in mind I have a 10 ton manual hydraulic log splitter Harbor freight. Thanks for your help.
You will need to ask someone who has experience with that species, I do not know. But my guess is that is will be good wood for a long time if it is kept dry, most oak lasts a long time. And all wood splits easier when it is green/fresh.
I hope you took the N&N with you to bring back a load. So what do people mash up their cars on, if there are no deer to run in too ? Interesting footage today. Four tornados touched down within 77 miles of me yesterday afternoon. In far eastern iowa
I don't, Chris and Kenneth have a very sweet deal going . Their set ups look very attractive. Six different aspects in a twelve day period. Only answering too thirty or forty customers requests ,two or three times a year. To me, they got the tiger by the tail
Weather Guessers say winds from 10 to 60 mph.... all day here in central Ohio.... no sunshine and flooding from the rain!! Ohio weather is special!! I bet Kenny up northern Wisconsin is gettin hammered with snow!!
Good job guys you guys do a very good job very nice and clean and everything got a question for you you ain't got any property up there if you want to sell do you kind of cheap I'm looking for like about 2 3 acres I don't care if it's all been treated out or not let me know please I really appreciate you thank you sir
Thanks for the contact on the channel BUT I can see the time stamps are all one minute apart which means you watched less than a minute of each video which actually hurts my channel. Just so you know, RU-vid only rewards watch time so watching longer is what matters. Thanks for the effort however.
@@InTheWoodyard Not to worry! I batch watched every minute of every video I comment on. Most times I'm working and listening. I then will go back through the ones I've watched and leave a comment, Sometimes a couple of days later.
Do they need to exterminate the wolves to a manageable number or are they protected. Thanks for the video. I remember last year with your brother Ken and yourself when they where grading wood, or that already had been done but Ken was explaining it as he did grading before from memory.😊
It is very obvious that if there are no deer and an very puny elk herd they have been trying to grow for 30 years and lots of wolves there is a problem. But common sense is not used by the people in charge because the need to justify their jobs by wasting time and our money on fruitless projects. Other states have re-introduced elk and they are thriving and growing big herds and the only difference is they have no wolves. It is very simple. Emotion is in control from people who do not live there promoting the protection of the cutest animals, wolves.
Wolves have a place on the landscape; they just need to manage them like any other predator. 25k bears don't help either along with coyotes and bobcats. And yes, I hunt in wolf country.
Curious if anyone who applied for the HAIX 100 testers get selected for a free pair of boots? and if not did you instead get a discount code for 50% off?🤔
where in northern wi. is this job, Iam from minocqua and I have 35 to 40 deer in my yard every day. go check on logging job that are cutting spruce or balsum.then you shold see alot of deer. I worked in the woods for years. you said the wolves are killing all of the deer. what about the 20,000 or so killed by cars and trucks every year. nothing is ever said about that.I liked your film. it brought back memories when I was logging.
North of highway 8 there are very few deer but all the ones I do see are right by houses where they get fed and where there are no wolves. This job was in the Flambeau river state forest.
Folks from Michigan’s UP complain about wolves too. I would imagine there is a decent amount of shoot (or trap), shovel, and shut up…….but not quite enough. 😉
The operator on the 501 CAT must be millennium , because went run processor put 8’ 6” should be roll off logs on each of the machine with the bushes in middle for soft working area all machines to travel on to . 😊 grew up CAT logging equipment, good gears put love there diesel fuel eating batsh . Look like cutting second grown timber no size to it Chris . Half loaded limit must be on , semi own got a half off a load that we bring off the forests. Plus we load our trailer different to max out on a full load off timber.
It’s the same in 709 . Nothing left not a spot for a hammer fur to hide Chris . Big company clean the land went it gone there gone to with millions or billions in there pockets.
@InTheWoodyard Im west of there my grandfather worked in the logging camps near winter and bruce in the late 1800 to early 1900's. Horses axes and two man saws times have changed.
$$$ plus it’s a renewable resource. Foresters look at the condition of the stand when it’s ready it’s cut. Hopefully regenerate a better stand of timber. All of those amazon boxes have to come from somewhere.
