It's appropriate that these trees are harvested for a useful purpose rather than allowed to just grow old and rot. Everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Even bristlecone pines and ancient sequoias get old and decay. The old makes way for the new.

Whereabouts are you cutting walnut these days, Joe? We used to get a decent percentage of walnut on the timber warrants we won in Green County, PA, but the real gold mine for walnut was in the hills around Altoona. Mainly north and east of town. We had some real monsters that we cut toward Prince Gallitzin State Park in the late 70s. The timber buyer was shipping the veneer quality logs to Germany and he gave us some poly end seal to make sure the checking was minimized. I cut on shares with the logging contractor and it was an awesome pay day when we got into the big walnut. We also cut persimmon, paw-paw and osage orange in Greene County that went to Japan for custom gold club heads. That buyer wasn't too particular about the length of the logs but they absolutely had to have the end grain sealed to prevent checking as soon as they hit the landing. If they showed the least bit of checking, the buyer rejected them. Again, a top dollar pay day. Be safe out there. Cheers! Whipple

@@naturetamer Too old to log any more…..Love to work black walnut in my wood shop. Just finished a keepsake box for a friend’s daughter’s wedding gift. Her mom made the paper, bound the wedding registry and photo album, and I sized the box for it all to fit inside. Looks pretty nice, if I do say so myself. Stay safe, have fun, and get logs, Joe!

We had a JD 4020 on our farm when I was a kid. I think it was made in 1969. First new tractor my dad ever bought. He loved that tractor until it started giving him fits. Worked perfect for a few years until it didn’t. Transmission, hydraulic pump, electrical system. They all started going bad. I was in high school and can remember getting off the bus to see a guy winching it onto a trailer. My dad had the biggest grin but wouldn’t tell me where it was going or what kind of deal he made to get it off the farm. Always knew he came out on the upside of the ledger when he got rid of that tractor. Hope you have a great run with your 4020. Cheers! Whipple

Back breaking work, running up and down the hill. But.... God I loved those 2 years watching the sun burn off the morning fog and the beauty god made, then trying to leave it as good as we found it . I only worked select cuts , and been back there 10 years later.... Was bigger trees than before, what we took out actually gave more sun in and it just jumped.

Did he start with a plunge cut? He had barely started cutting on the upper side when it broke loose. But normally the notch is the first cut so you can establish a hinge.

@naturetamer 2 жыл бұрын

Yup, no hinge. . . no stump pull either. no, it's not safe. no, I don't recommend you do it that way. I learned a loooong time ago not to try to tell a logger how to do his job... stay safe, mind yourself.

@elonmust7470 Жыл бұрын

Lotta hardwood timber had been harvested via stump jumping. All it is is bucking the tree off the stump. Come in from the front and as long as you cut out at least half of the compression wood, the tree can no longer chair. I used to do it when I had a lot of hickories to send down the hill.

Awesome thank you! I recently bought a land pride batwing and my 4020 only has one remote so what I’ve done is put a T for my wings and hook it up along with the pressure hose on the main up and and down and have the return hose rolled up and tied to the main gear box out of the way.
