Ya it's been hard up hear also but still going it's been a hard year up here with all the rain

Then you may as well just thin it yourself and make a few videos to keep us updated on the progress. I am interested to see these “flush stumps.”

@@BowTech11 it would take quite awhile. But one would think now that there are machines that can cut that quick. And logger isn't having to bust his ass the old fashioned way with a chainsaw. That they could cut within an inch or 2 of the ground and not leave stumps sticking up a foot or more.

Rocks are horrible on this job

I should get some good videos on next job will be nice wood

Definitely more work to process big wood

It will near double your output after you learn to use it efficiently.

May need to add an auxiliary hydraulic cooler in the southern heat.. And not all loaders are equipped to run them, I know my Deere 437D is bar saw only. Which sucks.

@@oldtimerf7602 I have a 437e you might have caught a glimpse of it in my videos. I also have a reversible 4400 CSl(I can drive to CSI in 25 minutes from my house and one of my dads best friends built the first working pull through delimber and got screwed by Tommy Hamby on the design but that's a story for another day) hooked to the 437e. I also have an old 310 prentice and a 325 prentice both with 42ip saws. Either of those Prentice loaders will outsaw that E Deere and the E loaders are supposed to be 17% stronger than the 437D loaders were. I think I may need to get james River out to do some adjustments. That E will delimb an 800 foot white pine without butting it off like nothing but it has a slow slasher chain speed.

@@oldtimerf7602 my loader is not setup for it far as I know but I have heard you can run them on a separate power unit

@@oldtimerf7602 also I don't work in the hot south, I mostly work at 2500 feet or higher

I'm in Farmington nh right now

I'm cut the painted trees but you have to make skide rds so some unpainted trees go

Not big on talking on camera lol

@Matt Sweet I get it, but after a few vids you won't care.I am sure I'm not the only buncher operator who wants to hear what you have to say.

Yes espar

My play list is all over the place lol

Lol probably my bald spot merry Christmas to you also

Starting to freeze up here so we should be good hopefully lol hope it dries out for you

Bio mass for power

Thanks for the sub!

Yes

@@mattsweet5767 nice making money both ways

Ya there nice we have 2 now who do you use

She likes her food lol

Yes chips for electricity

@@mattsweet5767 Cool. It's all coal powered and water down here. They tried to get one that burned wood started in a neighboring county once but the libs and huggers got it stopped. IKEA built a factory down the road a way that they say might start taking dirty chips someday. We used to have Louisiana Pacific's biggest hardwood pulp plant but they shut it down and moved it to St. Louis because they said they needed more coastal wood.....yyyeeaaa....🤔

The wood goes to landing and gets sorted there and this cut the landowner wants it open

$ cut taking the good

Hopefully lol

Its so dry here have not had any rain all summer

Lol

How often do you trade for new

Hardly ever. Last one was a 2000 model we bought new. I still have a 99 model Prentice too.

We try to trade every 4 to 6 years

@@mattsweet5767 It is really hard to buy brand new equipment here because the terrain in these mountains always limits production and we just don't handle enough money. We still log with cable skidders 70 to 80 percent of the time. There is only one guy within 80 miles from here that has a tree cutter like yours and he owns his own sawmill. We have no chip market either since LP closed down.
