Thanks for watching

@@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas Your welcome Guys. Stay safe over there now, God Bless Y"All ♡♡♡♡♡

Still no tigercat!

I’m sorry, where is your logging job?

Michael, Mickey is the loader operator

@@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas ah. i ment the skidder guy haha srry

He must had never ran a 620 or 630e tigercat..John deeres are ok tho

Jared Beasley ten 4. Im sure your opinion is the all end to any argument about Skidders can’t say your not The Truth to Skidder performance. But I’ve owned both. Ran both Tigercat and Deers. I will never say anything bad about Tigercats because they are A no 1 machines on any peice of iron with their name on them. They are probably the most durable machines ever put in the woods in my opinion. They perform in any type of situation or harvest they are in. But to say a L2 machine is less than a L I , I don’t understand what you mean Son. Sorry Bros I meant. I’m 55 yrs old and don’t mean to say Son. The guy driving mine has ran both also. The L2 has still got to prove itself over time. No doubt time will only tell. But I do know this. I have 3 Deere loaders. The one I run has over 18000 hours and is still so fast it is hard to hold wide open on the throttle I have maintained it and it’s tight and dry. I’m not someone to do any stats on because I keep a backup for every machine I have besides my processor and when I need to work or do maintenance on a machine I don’t have to do a nascar pit stop on it to fix it right. And I know that’s not the norm in the woods or logging world today. I have a skidder with 16500 hours on it with Deere on the emblem. I have a 643 K that cuts fine that is 8 years old. They are not running hard every day because they are backups. Got a Deere 853 M 3 Deere Skidders , Processor and Dozer. Son the Deere name is as good as any to a owned. But when called on we never loose time because Deere is on them. And we move 120 plus loads a week. I’ve been doing this since I was 10 years old. Had my own crew for 32. And Deere has been there for me and my dealer has backed us up like no other I have dealt with. Yes , I’m a unique situation. I know that. But I do know that when taken care of , and run properly, you can make a good living with these machines. There are other factors in machines than somebody saying a L2 is not as good as a L one Or as good as a 620 or 630. Get real Do you own a skidder? Maybe you think I’m full of BS. I don’t mean to make you feel like I’m Mr Logging God Bros. I’m Not. But my bank acc is what shows if you can make money Logging. And I’m good , and Deere has helped me get there. No matter what brand of machine you run you can be very successful if you have dealer support with them. I really don’t think there is enough difference between a Deere, Tigercat, or Caterpillar if you are supported by the dealer. Every year when the new models come out from each, they all change to what the others do better than them. That’s just how it is with logging equipment with the Big 3 these days. Take care Jared. I know you may just be yanking on TJL. That’s cool.

Skidded years on 748 and 848H,than tigercat,tcat is better forsure, more efficient, better on fuel , nicer to operate

Thanks

😂

That’s why we have a trim saw.....I’m here for production not perfection

🤷🏻‍♂️ like my deere

Only problem we have with our 848 is it trying to go in the ground when it’s wet. It’s wayyyy stronger than a 630 too.

jacob carter It is strong TJ. I have a 948 L a 848 H and just bought a 748L 11. Yal know , horsepower is like sex. You always want more, and feel like you never get enough. But in TJs application he needs light machine, quick Hydraulics. Smart Buy. I have different machines for different reasons. The 9 will make long drags with huge piles and is good for me on the long drags. The 7 will not drag as big a pile like the 9 but it is light and quick. Both of them have good qualities. That’s why they don’t just make one model. And different dealers can do different things for loggers. Sometimes one is more helpful than the other. It’s hard to make a decision on 300 K. I hope you are successful and happy with your chose. Time will tell Jacob. AC

I’ll do a video on it

Southern Louisiana

They came out and took it from the old one, we told him Deere wanted it back and we wasn’t going to be doing anymore TimberMatic testing 😂😂😂

Lol

Absolutely not lol

Nope, not my machine to run

Nobody wants that junk 😂

I’ll do a video on it

Well no shit 😂 it’s not carrying the load…..but if you can come drag me the production my Skidder pulls in the same time frame every week, I’ll buy you a brand new cable Skidder and give you a job.

I'll take a John deere

I would say late model but it’s whipping my ass 😂😂😂
