I don’t know if I’ve ever thanked you for this content. There’s no venomous politics, controversy, or culture war nonsense. Just men working and enjoying the fruits of their labor. Thanks, Squatch!
Thanks Squatch And a big thank you to Senior for the camera work and commentary 👍 I'm guessing if you didn't know what you were doing when fetching trees down we wouldn't be watching this video And the only limbs broken were on the trees
The opening with the sound of that diesel motor rumbling through the woods was awesome. Makes you think of a time when you would have heard that sound on a regular basis
The RD-6 runs great and what a powerhouse. I enjoyed you and Senior working together on this project and Seniors commentary is awesome. Thanks Squatch for another very enjoyable video.
Squatch, I truly enjoyed watching. I could almost smell Fall leaves, fresh dirt and diesel smoke. Bring back memories of working with my father and our D4 7U in the woods. Thank you, Boe 👍
I have a new respect for suspicious trees in a position for possible building damage after seeing all the chaos from Hurricane Helene. Always good to hear the RD-6 engine music!
Good job you two. Less rotten trees and more space to work within. Probably not the best firewood that came out of these 3 trees. But in bad times anything that burns is fuel.
Watching you tear around the farm on the RD6 and giving it a workout is magnificent. You would of loved my D9g. I hope it makes it way into the new red building. Blessings to you and your family
Excellent video the old Rd 6 sure runs nice. It's really dry there too . I dug a power line trench in western Minnesota and I had a awful time in the rocks and clay with my big tractor backhoe it would slide all over the place on the outriggers . It was a good plan to get rid of the trees from near the building. My old yard was full of trees years ago and they wrecked some of the roofs with the leave mat kept the shingles wet all the time and the shade didn't let it dry out properly
Your RD-6 sounds like the 4 cylinder English Electric RK4 four cylinder "Thumper" diesel engine generators for the diesel electric traction system, fitted to the British Rail Southern Region class 201 Diesel Engine Multiple Unit trains. These engines were originally designed in the 1930s, for harbour tugboats, service boats and pilot launches. They have a 10 inch bore by 12 inch stroke. These engines came as inline 4, 6, 7 and 8 cylinder versions and as V8, v12 and V16 versions. They had turbochargers from 1940 onwards and 4 valve heads from 1951.
I've spent my youth in the woods clearing tops and trees that needed to be cabled down the timber crews managed to ruin plenty of trees that would have been descent trees had they not scrubbed them and marred then with grapples and skidder chains trying to take the harvested trees and managed to leave a lot of waste. On almost 500acres of farm woods.
Dang - You guys are getting really good at these videos. Shots of that beautiful land just don't get old - If you can get it to hold still, there's a painting in there somewhere. LOL
Thanks for the video Toby. I love the sound of that machine as well. You can get killed going for groceries just as easily as using the rd6 and a cable to pull over a tree. When your time is up it's up! Cheers
Your whimsical humor and strong videography made a great opening scene. This beautiful time of year certainly helped. Have you been studying production, or is it a natural artistry (which you demure) developing? Whatever it is, keep going. Your worked has evolved for sure! And thanks for teaching me how to take down trees. Its been very useful.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and it not only shows the some of the true power of a cat D6 but it also shows how dangerous it is when a chain breaks.
Thanks for the video Toby! Nice to hear the RD6 back up and running again! Was that what was in the lean to of the red shed? Can’t wait for the next video!
If the tree comes down without you being reckless and both of you have all your limbs and digits, that's fine. I worked in the bush for 10 years and saw a lot of nitwits get hurt and 1 of them lost his life.
@Squatch253 Well I tried, but it appears once folks figured out Track-Man's secret identity, they need to wave around that they solved the secret puzzle. If i push any more I suspect a tone change of the group might happen and I don't want to be "that guy." Sorry man. Keep up the great videos. They may know Track-Man is Bruce but at least they don't post where the Track-Cave is located. 😂
I'm new to your channel, just wondering... what state are you in? With that many birch trees, I'm sure you are in the north. We don't have many birch trees here in southwest Michigan but do up north. I enjoyed the video. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
What do you use as a fuel additive in your gas and diesel equipment as some machines may sit for 2 years between runs with [I assume] fuel sitting in the tanks and systems?
the ones that complain about pulling down trees just don't have the toys to do it with, lol why not cut a drainage path before you put the 2025 team to remove that bank ?
