What a refreshing change , No stupid loud music and No stupid camera work , just a good documentary thanks

[@crausch]

That was one of the best forestry documentaries that i have seen in a long time.

[@thewatchman6074]

This brings back some memories. I was a cutter for ten years, and we'd measure off the cut sizes as we "snedded" off the branches. The hard labour was "binging" the 10 footers into piles of ten, ready for the highline winch to take out. Jonsered 60 was my weapon of choice. great days.

[@evanbuytendijk9745]

Brilliant video. It is perfect to show what was in the past and is now!

[@KnorpelDelux]

I just sat on a Komatsu 931.1 Awesome machines, it is always interesting how time goes by, how new concepts are being made, tested, etc. Nice video, I had to smile alot.

[@mrbluenun]

Many thanks for this brilliant historical outlook to Forestry machines, something I am really interested in.

Great video Brings back a lot of memories as I've been involved in the logging business since the late 50s.

Stihl chainsaw 1929, though some would debate, the 1929 was the first practical gasoline powered man portable . Timberjack and Gafner Iron Mule late 1950s. Wagner made some early log skidders (the ones owned by VanNatta Brothers were build in 1955 and 1956).

[@morgansword]

I started in the days of the two man saw and horses. We hurt a lot of animals trying too hard to get production. I see them doing harvesting in California where all the logs are handled with power tools and they are removed the same way. They also grind up the stump and limbs for mulch or paper products and are then replanted in just a few days of harvest and by fall you see way too many trees returning but they select thin the trees and get even better timber growing back where you see select logging in twenty years and in another five years another logging operation going full swing and more taken in twenty five years than the initial harvest from start

It would be useful to use the reduction in KW per board foot and man/hours per board foot in each step in the progress of lumber technology.

Well, TigerCat's haven't been around for very long, so they don't have any "firsts" like the others do. And they only have 3 dealers in europe, so not very widespread. Heck, I don't even think there was a dealership in Sweden when the movie was made in 2001.

[@theimpalervlad8920]

The sweeds are the pioneers and developers.

[@alfilkemper9240]

It maybe awe inspiring as the industry becomes more & more robotic, I fear for the animals that get displaced by the sheer number of trees that can be harvested at one time & yes, I am aware opening up the forest is/can be beneficial.

i still use a hand saw for all my cutting i just dont like chain saws, they are expensive to run and always need resetting and servicing so i use a saw, does my fire wood quite well!

[@jacob-ih2zj]

Lmao you are funny. Chain saws are very affordable. If you do alot of cutting a chain saw is a must

[@fuzzzeballs]

@@jacob-ih2zj no it is not only if you feel that way

[@Groza_Dallocort]

@@fuzzzeballs by the time you are done with 1 tree with a handsaw the chainsaw have finished 5 trees even if you are just making firewood

[@fuzzzeballs]

@@Groza_Dallocort and? i dont like them so what??

[@Groza_Dallocort]

@@fuzzzeballs very well do you have something like a Pilkemaster Evo 36 it cuts cleave and transport the wood away really effient. Some models even have thier own loaders so you just have to drag your logs to it instead of lifting it all the time which saves your legs and back

[@ronaldpelletier8434]

super

[@sl06bhytmar]

If this was made 2020, we would see the technology that we use today would be hybrid machines because harvesters have high spikes in power demand, thus engines are "oversized" to give that spike power when it is needed. Hybrid technology replaces the engine with smaller to run generator and batteries and high spikes are handled by charged battery power. Wheels are driven by hydraulic electric pump. Also there are those 'drones' that take the load and drive to side of the road to dump the load for truck to pick them up. And then finally in the future when AI develops enough, we have harvesters driving by themselves and judging tree conditions for rot, size, straightness, etc. (and leaving 'seed trees' and 'squirrel/hawk/owl' trees up.

[@tigerzero5216]

Your post is a year old to this 7 year old video at this time of my post. I agree with you. Why does it keep increasing? There is money/a market for it. As the population of the world grows so will the need for wood. The excuse of it being a renewable resource only works if it is being replaced as fast as we consume it. I'm sure there are replanting programs in place in an attempt to keep the supply up. I don't think it's keeping up. What needs to happen is reducing the demand. That means... People, stop having so many unplanned babies. Increasing the population increases the need for the limited resources of the world. It's not just wood, but food production too that is falling behind.

[@tigerzero5216]

@@blackboxbs8642 Well. It's not just the Anglosaxon/white race. There are things that can prevent unwanted kids. But many governments do not provide that to the needy. Partly because it cost money and secondly the increase in population could invite foreign aide// or taxes to fill there pockets.

forestry is renewable if managed correctly, its one of the greenest forms of material know to man, you can build with it, cook with it and keep warm with it, what more does a man need, people these days want too much from life, sure I own a pc and tv, as far as entertainment goes that's all I need, I don't own a phone as im not a people person, people need to learn to live with less.
