Right? Works pretty well, eh? Some southern clowns talking shit. Their ignorance blows by mind.

@calspaugh8078 but I will say the saw does have its place. I did run on an all sawyer crew for a few years in old Goodman timber. We shit out the logs, but the timber was huge.

Merchandise the straight pieces in top down to 3" for pulp. Ends up looking pretty tidy when we are done. To the left is cut.

Maybe some of both. I was going slow because hard maple is really heavy and the tree might pull out of head otherwise.

Thanks. I guess I just enjoy making videos. If it was about the views, I would have given up a long time ago.

@dadanny187 some of the cuts in the video will be replanted. One site was bought by an established gravel pit next door, and the selling family (was there almost 100 years) wanted the timber they grew to be brought to market before the sale. Most of the timber I harvest is on SFI certified and every other certified corporate land. They manage the timber, and I harvest the timber. When I do bring a private sale to the market and it makes sense to replant , I do. This spring, I spent a day throwing in 1500 trees I paid for on two different sales I did the year prior. Planted 10s of thousands in my early 20s when my time was less valuable. Just don't feel the need to show those parts and pat myself on the back.

Iron County. Cable lake rd north of Amasa

@IdleByte it was a poorly planted plantation 30 something years old. Pretty far from natural. But if FernGully had big timber, I'd smacked that down too.

Maybe all I know is most people wouldn't of liked what I was listening to in my cab while I filmed. Kanye West graduation cd. Stronger on repeat all day. 😂

@budl4656 lol. What if it's s clear cut to replant plantation because it missed its thinning cycle and was poorly planted?

@pita0069 What part of the harvester would you use to move boulders? Beat up the knives or round up the feed rollers? You sound pretty dumb talking out your ass. My machine is for harvesting timber. That is all. If the owner of the forwarder thinks he could move them, then I'm sure he would.

@maxsanchez4256 if that's another way of saying trash timber. I agree. Lol. Not sure what you mean by that.

I tried to get you in frame as much as I could. Always looks so far away in video.

@JordanCarlson-m3u seems to be all I do lately. Glad you like the the videos. I'm in UP too. Cutting in middle of amasa grade now.

@davidmore190 could have. But loss of connection was intermittent. Seemed to only happen when jarred.

@ponsseguy now, at least I know what to look for the next time.

Yeah it's pretty shitty. Think I have 11 acres of it to get through.

Welcome to come for a ride. Working on side of m95 by sawyer lake in channing.

Right? Or understand the sarcasm.

Who me? I drive a little truck. Never really concerned about how much diesel I burn either.

Harvest all marked timber means harvest all marked timber.

@@pinecreeklogginglol

My thoughts exactly. Everyone’s only looking at their short term gains.

I'm all for land improvement the whole nine. This is corporate ground. Most of our sites are unmarked. This one is marked. I normally slash most ironwood. I have slashed hundreds more than he had painted on this site. That's why I just don't get the point of just marking two.

Thats the promise is the long haul. But in what other industry do you roll up with over 1.5 million in equipment( our whole crew, 1 new harvester, my harvester, sub forwarder and dozer) to work for free now for promise of future?

@@pinecreeklogging farming. I do it every day.

Cant argue with you on farming. Only difference is you know you get to harvest your crop so you dont mind weeding. In 10-12 years when someone goes through this again chances are it won't be me. It isn't just a few either its thousands. In the clear cut last week, I had to do between 700-1000 stems a day to get 120-160 cubic meters. That's shit. That's not counting all the trees i cut that weren't merchantable. A man can only cut so much for free before he loses money.

Didn't check the side. Just the front reach. We both knew the ergo would be longer but was surprising how much more. Guessing to the side it's probably similar.

That's what is back on there now. Hopefully, they will hold this time.

The time before this I had them red loctited. Instead of loosening up, bolts ended up snapping.

C5 has more power but that new h8 is a hell of a head. Having a hard time holding onto these bigger oaks with the 7.

@@pinecreekloggingI’ve got an H8 C5 now. We are thinking about getting a giant and the salesman was saying they’re comparable (or giant has more) so I’m guessing it’s not then?

@kopitzke55 I don't think so and the owners of the giant don't think so either. But it's pretty close. Probably depends on how you like to harvest timber. Two totally different crane styles.

As long as they’re close I can’t complain. I knew it wouldn’t have more, but didn’t want to lose any crane power. Heard there was an update on the active speed for the H8 in the states and it made it crazy better than what it was.

Wasn't much before that. Big seam from crotch down.

Next time you have that thought. Film yourself falling a tree. Bet it takes longer then 50 seconds. And after that one tree there is 100 acres of trees left. How long is it going to take a saw to do that? Spent 12 years lugging a saw around piece cutting to buy a harvester. Pretty sure harvester is faster.

Guess you can mute the video or listen to what you want to it your harvester, if you have one. 🤔 Pathetic. I like what I like. No apologies here.😊
