I've done a few minor weld jobs on this very machine, in the woods. The operator is very competent and is cutting and dropping the trees just the way he's supposed to.
Some of y'all fail to remember one key point; your going to drop SOMETHING on your rig 99.9 times out of 100! Logging is brutal work, they build those rigs to withstand that brutality! I've had trees kick back and BOUNCE OFF of the cab of my old stick-steer clark skidder that theoretically shoulda turned me into a pancake. LOGGING EQUIPMENT IS GOING TO GET BEAT UP! THAT'S A GIVEN! And for y'all screaming how he don't know what he's doing, obviously you don't know the ball from the bounce! He's actually throwing em correctly.... SMDH
That the swamp logging system lay the bottom so the skidder can pull them and the feller bunched can walk on the tops that's dam smart logging hoses are cheap compared to the price of the machine sinking in to the swamp
Its what we in the south call tripping the wood backwards helps keep shovel man from having to turn all the wood around and far as the tops hitting the engine canopy its not hurting a thing and for the Carolina logger tell me I don't know what I'm doing and put your money where your mouth is and I'll show u different my friend
Simon Murphy you don't know what you are doing! You are throwing trees on top of a half million dollar machine! And I have about 30,000 hours in a track cutter so I'll line up beside you anytime you are ready! But it's going to cost you tuition! Let me know! I'm ready when you are. Just let me know please sir! I'll call that bluff! And just so you know I seen a Cypress top break out once came through the skylight and jammed into the air conditioner on bobby goodsons 860! Holla at me
I could not watch any more , making a mess damaging equipment an hoses are not cheap ,every time that machine shuts down the hole operation is down nobody is making money .
James carter, it's ez to c u don't know shit about swamp logging. we so same thing here in South GA around edge sometimes. gotta b a logger to understand lol
Susan Morgan well I guess your a dumbass then! I have over 30,000 hours in a track stumper and have cut some of just as bad of swamp that eastern North Carolina has to offer. if your throwing trees on a 450,000 dollar machine you my friend are an idiot. duplin forest products since 1970 look it up an you might just learn something. and I've been to South Georgia and seen your beautiful (routine) black gum swamp's. come down here to eastern North Carolina and get some one these popular flats! big difference. keyboard warrior! show me.
Five high nah it won't hurt it! Just rip hoses off and bend cylinder rods and beat the buncher all to shit. If you like turning wrenches and running a piece of shit then rock on. But I bet one thing when one of those tops break and come through the skylight. I bet he stops doing that shit. Dead or alive. Just trying to get out of doin shovel work
@@Tanner-bg2qn thats the soul purpose for a shovel buddy! If your shovel man doesn't know how to handle a piece of wood he doesn't need to be in the seat.
James Carter our shovel man is usually loading trucks with the other loader or by itself loading chips more than 90 percent of the time. Unless we bring all three crews together we never use it for shoveling wood.
