Busy Fish... are you Eating them, I'm thinking yes... Because I don't see you much on U-tube... The fish are rubbing off on you, giving you that energy? Hi, and welcome back... Miss ya

Thought you were dead. Need some elan videos

Welcome back 😂

1st like.

Looks like a pretty sweet operation. What part of Canada are you cutting in?

Had no idea this is what you were up to these days. Interesting!

The middle of October last year we had a beautiful 50* coldsnap, and I went to the woods. On one oak I collected 35+ pounds of Chicken. No bugs, no fiber, just robust and perfect. Every time I cut a stream of water stained my hoodie, lol. Thanks for sharing.

Lucky man! Working in those beautiful conditions!! With that beautiful skidded!

I have the same old Massey, over near Haliburton...needs steering tires as well (17.5" - weird size). The 2 machines could be twins

Do you rebuild shafts etc for C4's?

I don't mean to sound mean but someone with your skill level should not be working alone

your chainsaw skills will get better in time I really truly hope you live to see it best of luck my fellow Chopper

My 66 tree farmer has roughly 1500 hrs on out of body rebuild, i dont get any white smoke, but when pullin hard the black looks like a train. Good idea to replace that where can i find a fresh one? Im working my way through all the fluids getting them changed. I have learned a ton for your videos keep em coming!

That was great ! I am just wondering how did you know what kind of rebuild kit to order? I have a 1975 Grove 18 ton crane and my swing brake master cylinder looks almost exactly like the one in your video so I said I gotta watch this!😀🇨🇦

Where do you buy your parts i have the same machine

A little less talk and a lot more action.

Das sind Rockwell Achsen...

Well this year will up and running earlier

Good day sir i pass by cobden quite a bit and im looking to buy a l39 like this for my small hobby farm coukd come ask u a few questions about the machine

Do you think that "Hen of the Woods" mushrooms might grow in the wild woods of Minnesota??.. I've yet to see one.

Gas engine is best to have a muffler on it to keep your power,or your going to kill your little 4cyd

My dad drove a C-7 Tree Farmer with the old Detroit or Screaming Jimmy with chokes

Wheres the shovel?

I see the problem its the driver lol.

I drove the old ones...the thing is basically a tank on tracks.

Great video, love that hone, might see if i can find one somewhere as seems better than the stone type. Was going to be doing the same to the master cylinder on my Loadstar as it uses the exact same cylinder, mine was locked up solid and took quite some work to take apart. alas it turns out seal kits are currently unavailable, even though you can buy a new cylinder... Go figure. In the end i found a new genuine navistar one for a decent price... And its still US made (i bought a cheap chinese made one first with intention of temp fitting it while I rebuilt the original... It turned up full of machining swarf, so i returned it)

Just bought a similar one.. any idea what the weight is?

She's quiet for a jimmy! Nice ole skidder.

Great old skidder!I'm from Georgia and when I was in high school in the 70s,they cut about 4000 acres of pine across the highway from my Mom and Dads' house.The timber company had a couple of IH S-8 skidders,a Frankin with the Detroit and an old Super M Farmall with skidder tires to skid logs.From my freshmen year until my senior I was awoken every morning to those skidders going to work.Eventually they got the job done and replanted.Now in 2023 they are harvesting the same tract again.Not the same company of course.The Franklins and the IH's were a beast back then.

Does anybody have the number for servicing and the SW48?

I turn the hubs around. But I cannot get the brakes to release. Can anybody help me.

Do you have a tech number please

Hello did you find anybody as I need help also thank you

The image at three oh nine of a orange Hyundai wheel loader looks like doosan orange 🍊. But hay both l think far east products. The Hyunsan. Always love wheel loaders So simply a job scoop load & repeat,l actually loaded myself with a 1980's cat 950 Tree length spruce headed for Chetwynd & fort saint john on a 1985 Mack Superliner V8 ,6 axle pony up jeep pole logger and , Jake stalled the thing middle of the night loaded found Mexican overdrive ( neutral ) after hitting the key to restart & she ran backwards after l continued to decent a steep hill known as Dunvegan south of Fairview Alberta and finally got it running right revved it up found Road gear and delivered the load will never forget that & others may have bailed but I kept calm and fixed the situation but a lethal heavy truck thing that happens all over the world with the old mechanical Diesel's.

How long is your cable and what size? How often do you break/replace?

What is the purpose of the chain from cab to tower? Storage, protection from a rogue tree felling?

I did the same thing in northern Ontario back then. Not much safety concern! Minus 35%! My Timberjack did not have an enclosed cabin and no door.

Lovely work. Would love that. Meaningful days. 💖💪

I published my first video skidding logs with my 1966 Tree Farmer, I watched all your videos before I bought it, thank you it was super helpful. I'm happy with the machine, it will surve fhe purpose I need it for very well. Che k out the video!

Nice setup

Exactly like 1st skidder i ran.. gud old workhorse..!

Why got chain between boom and cab on tree farmer

Eaton rear ends?

did you ever find out what the issue was with the track speed? my machine was running fine, did a calibration on the brake sensor pedal,.. and now the machine runs half speed.

Would probably be a good video if I could hear it. But, every time you turn your head, it goes silent.

Those machines are so cool and I have always wanted one. Some day I’ll get one or even build one if I have to.

It happened...it is being delivered tomorrow. I will put up a video in the next week. Thank you for the helpful tips, and things to look for on the skidder. I will be the official owner of a 1966 tree farmer tomorrow. I will hopefully get it posted before I lose momentum for my current video, as it is doing better then any other video I have posted on a firewood processor I made. Whoohooo!
