Good idea blowing the horn. I used to own my own towing business. I was getting ready to back up one day to hook up to a vehicle in a driveway next to a house. I remembered always to get out of the truck and look if you are not sure. There was a little baby that had come out of the house and was standing behind my truck. I was pretty upset at the childs mother and grandfather for not watching but it was my responsibility to look. Never worry about the time it takes to be safe. It is never silly to save a life. Thanks for sharing this with us Tim. Maybe some other truck drivers will watch it.

Damn that sun must be powerfull down there. I still have 18 inches of snow in my yard in nwest wisconsin and probably wont be back in the woods for 3 to 4 weeks. Keep the action coming. Enjoy the videos.

[@williamardell5077]

Good video. Heart goes out

[@johnwhicks8687]

Prayers for the logger that passed away. Be careful out there. Great video 👍

[@yawotton]

I actually love driving log truck out of all the trucking I've done... Love the smell of fresh cut timber... Only downside is the Mills when they get backed up...same with the ports and everywhere though

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks for the video. Have a great weekend Tim!

[@warrenfromga9945]

Tim, I would like to see you take Cottonwood fishing. I bet he would be griping the whole day, especially if you don't put him on some fish. That would be a hoot. Take care and keep on keeping on.

[@tjsoul4813]

Awesome video Tim, have a great weekend.👍👍

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Great Vid. Tim, Have a great weekend..Take Care

[@johnwilloughby9712]

[@robertbradford2734]

Can't stress enough about the danger zone in and around the trucks and heavy equipment. Yeah I love watching Jason stuff he's a good dude just like you I can't imagine the hog hunt with you guys would be a riot... LOL😂

[@scotthillis-hilltoplandsca7808]

Great video already looking forward to Saturdays video, bring on the WOOD!!!!! # Cottonwood 2020. 😀

[@goldhunter9641]

Tim there is a guy up here in southern WV that sells equipment of different types and yesterday he posted a couple pics of a Timber Jack Model T 2150 if I'm not mistaken and it has a huge tree cutter on it and the machine is a big one also that is probably 15 feet up to the seat in the cab and he said it will run and Operate but it's been setting for a couple years and he will sell it the way it sets or he will get it started and running and make sure everything is fine on it and operating correctly and sell it that way but he needs some inputs on what a value should be on that style machine and I figured I would throw you a comment on here and I can get the pictures of it and send to you if you have any input on it and the guy seems to sell quite a bit of stuff but it's always big equipment and I always hear everybody say they're satisfied with what they purchase from him and that he makes good deals on the stuff... I just know it's a big machine and I might be wrong on that model number but I thought that's what it was anyway

[@jamiemartin9030]

I was wondering if you can get by with J farm tag hauling logs off the farm and do you have to have a DOT number if you stay in the state with a farm tag

[@rapidhockles]

Those little cables hold all that load? Amazing.

[@AlbertoGonzalez-tc2ju]

lol it’s just look bud so that dot see it

[@jimwesselman]

Maybe Wes could send you some of his WD-40 for your come-a-long! Sure sounded a little squeaky! Thanks for the video’s, hope you get your chores done this weekend.

[@kennymysak2079]

Nothing wrong with blowing the horn no site it lets everybody now to look out for themselves so everyone goes home safe. Keep up the great video's

[@jamesparks8676]

Looks like one of them Big John trailers with the pull up dollys

[@larrysloskysr5503]

Great video . Safely !

[@kaseycoleman993]

Tim I would like using the cables instead of straps. what size and are they special cables or just what they got on the shelf at tractor supply? what diameter?

[@cotontop3]

3/8 works good or u can use 5/16

[@edenfieldjared0]

I am new to logging and am the laughing stock of the log woods we are using nylon straps and I have not quite got the hang of it any tips or videos??

[@jayharris9823]

Cotontop driving the ole rig

[@noahwaite8927]

Sad what happened to the man working in the woods. They was logging in the area I live where he got killed.

[@waylondunkin3175]

Have you done the toolbox tour yet, just wondering.

[@cotontop3]

Not yet

[@terryg3921]

Good video. Thanks

[@HollisFarmsMS]

Thanks man 👍

[@YoungMonte]

Was wondering about getting in this line of business...any tips?

[@waynebrogdon9628]

Definitely not silly good practice

[@bobbylong3312]

How does someone in their 50s, with no experience, break into the Logging Industry as a Driver? My neighbor down the street has been wanting to drive log trucks. He just got his CDL but doesn't have any experience and doesn't want to go OTR. I told him he should bite the bullet and go OTR for 6 months. What would you suggest?

[@kevinmcgann9732]

I think you are right about OTR because no one in their right mind would let anyone with 0 experience get into a log truck. He should start off looking for a local job driving a 10 wheeler delivering dirt or mulch.

[@dextermontgomery3126]

Yes blow the horn. It has save many lives

[@nancyglover6460]

I notice y'all use cables to bind your load. Any reason y'all don't use straps? Keep the great videos coming.

[@jacecum8ings440]

Can you please show us a video of you working with the 843 series? If you can, but great vid as always!

[@jacecum8ings440]

Feller Buncher

[@cotontop3]

Search cotontop3-843 and you’ll find what ur looking for.

[@Brian.N]

Good video!

[@wavydustin1497]

Nice video tim

[@dwightjones5826]

I know your dad liked you doing that but he most likely checked it before he left most drivers do I bet this will light up with people saying that's not enough straps on that load LOL

[@davethemagnificent2576]

Dwight Jones. Yea we use straps on our loads and only put 3 on tree length and 4 on the double. I'm just wondering why it looked like the dolly was facing the tractor when it was up lol

[@Chris-fl9hk]

I bet you got air in the cabs of them machines lol

[@rodmurphy272]

I have 4 daughters, often wonder...Just how many trees does it take to raise a girl? they use toilet paper for everything.LOL

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Just like that see ya Tim Napa mike

[@ronaaserude8225]

y'all have a good weekend there Mike!

[@nathanharrison816]

I always wondered how loggers or dump trailers find the places to pick up, I’ll be driving and I’ll see a log truck 1 mile in the woods and i say to myself how in the hell did he find his way back there

[@six01playa]

I don’t think you could pay me enough to drive a log truck. Definitely wouldn’t make no money if I was driving one. Probably wouldn’t go over 25-30 mph.

[@kalebclark2902]

Why small cables? Not wide straps?

[@williamardell5077]

Durability and strength is better

[@arkansas1336]

Nice video. ....13
