A good way to warm your machine is to weld a pipe bung same size as your truck exhaust to the cooling shield by the blower and take a piece of flex pipe off your muffler to it. That way there you warm the jugs up and it’ll start easier.
I've started many a machine like that. We had a Same 180 Hercules on our farm (air cooled) so every morning at 4AM I dragged around my tarp and salamander heater to get it started, along with a C5 tree farmer and a skidsteer. The whole tarp tent heater underneath method works really well actually it's just a pain in the butt to do it every day for multiple machines
I did this for 36 yrs here in Northern Mn. The first thing theres 5 men, all you need to do the same job is a skidder operator, tree feller and a landing man. I fell and helped hook turn for turn and never touched a limb with the chainsaw. The skidder operator would back up 3-4 times on the way to the landing delimbing the trees. The skidding trail would be my trucking road, i'd never skid that far unless i had to. The only time i needed a landing man if i was bucking it up into saw bolts and pulpwood. When logging tree length i ran a 2 man crew. My wife ran a C5-D for 16 yrs, so most of the time it was just the two of us. We put 20 to 30 cds a day on the landing. We logged when it was -40 f , i like -20 everything slides nice. Be careful out there
Oh see so many vids of HUGE DRAG and watch some tool pulling two trees and think they have the world by the ass! Guess these fellas have bills! There pulling good drags
you are good men to work in that cold ...i don't go out unless i have to in that weather cause stuff breaks so easily ...including bones ...those deutz are a lot like the belarus tractor engines.. belarus has a decompression switch on it tho and a way to put the hydraulic pump gear in neutral ..it starts really easy that way .....that looks like a really nice machine tho
Dam been there done that but dam it had to been cold I've been on the old John Deere skidders when it was so cold u could spit and it would freeze before it hit the ground
What they need to do is come out with automatic chockers that would unlock there self when u got to the landing have a battery pack in it and when u get to the landing hit a button in the cab and unlock them be alot less climbing up and down
Looks like the skidder 2 different cousins of mine owned at 2 different times. Sadly it met a fiery fate in 2000 I believe, and I’ve lost both cousins, one in 2017 and one this year
@@jdatwood7086 yes Quebec is probably the place where it snows the most on this planet! :) Got it from an individual. These machines were built in Thunderbay Ontario
