LOGGING MOVIE 2024 - TIGERCAT 1165 HARVESTER!

[@crazyman3157]

Swamp Loggers was a great show, The Bobbie Goodson is a good guy and definitely liked the Tiger Cats, I remember him saying it was one of the best for swamp logging. Great video Chris, I could see the 22MB ready for the forwarder to load the deck. 👍🏻👍🏻 Jesse has a heck of an operation and stream lined, cut a few of the middle men out. Good Night Irene.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, he has a good system!

[@colonelhessler1]

Brings back fond memories of Swamp Loggers with Bobby Goodsons crew here in NC. I've mentioned it before that I love your camera's, most videos here on KZbin are horrible-grainy-out of focus, but not yours glad you were a photographer when you wore a younger man's clothes it makes these videos easy to binge watch. Thanks for putting out quality vids , always have loved the Tiger Cat machinery. Take care & God bless 🙌

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@g.t.logging.]

That tigercat is a beast ! Excellent movie could watch content like this all day long ! Thank you for taking us along

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you enjoyed it...tomorrow there is more!

[@watchthe1369]

Brontosaur grazing the forest. That is serious board feet and pulp produced right there. I like the way he is cutting his own corduroy mats as he goes to keep him out of the mud as much as possible.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is like a huge dino!!

[@anthonylamura8600]

I could watch that machine all day long :)

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I agree, very mesmerizing!

[@johnedmondson1818]

Thank you, Chris, for bringing more content like this, always thinking outside the box! Have a great day sir.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks! More to come!

[@kevinmason3086]

It's neat how all this machinery does all the measuring and stripping of the logs. It took me 2 days to watch the video. I had other stuff to do yesterday and couldn't watch it all. Definitely a long video

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching Kevin!!

[@jasongrammo9966]

You have outdone yourself!!! Incredible content. Gonna watch this instead of current events!!! I love this!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kensebring3683]

That's what I need for my 2 acres. I could set up right in the middle and never have to move. Kenny from Western North Carolina

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! Good idea!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Its neat to see these running. It would take a crew what 3 days for what this guy did in 1 day.. Thanks for taking us along with you.😉👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, that is why loggers run them....production!

[@BGWenterprises]

Well the fun doesn't seem to end for me.. In Casper, Wyoming with bad wheel bearing. Comes in Friday morning. It's a regular Dave's grand adventure. LOL

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is always something!

[@michaelmullins1290]

I love heavy equipment. And that's a very nice one. It chucked longer pieces of wood. Nice ride along.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, she is a very cool machine to see working!

[@rickthelian2215]

Nice logging equipment, lots of timber for mills and firewood 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

You got that right!

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

That’s a nice machine. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep up the good work.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@HuckThis1971]

Nice! Tigercat. Made in Canada! 🇨🇦👍 Thanks for buying Canadian!

[@InTheWoodyard]

To me where a product is made does not matter, the quality of the machine and dependability and the retained value does. Good people make the things not the countries. Countries over regulate control and extort the companies with fees and taxes. My rant is over...sorry! Canadians are like good cousins to us!

[@davidedwards3734]

Thanks for taking us along!! Watching them work is very mesmerizing!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you like them!

[@jbbrown7907]

After i had been out of the woods for several years i had a chance to work on a 600 arce farm. I contracted a machanical logging crew. We started out just clearing the view. The land owners likedbthe big checks. They ended up clearing 82 acres of new pasture. I loved watching them work.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is fun to see the big stuff work!

[@timknotts4752]

Chris, I just finished watching your logging video. I absolutely loved it. Awesome work!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

What an impressive machine! Thanks for sharing Sir Chris 👊🏻GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching Sir Toddeth!

Wow, those machines are impressive!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very!

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Pretty cool!!👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello Al! Thanks for watching!

[@DirtRoadLanding]

I just noticed that during the in cab POV scenes when the grapple hits the preprogrammed lenght of the log, the Tiger cat actually gives a “meow” signal..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is an awesome machine for sure!

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

The tigercat reminds me of swamp loggers that is what bobby had i use to watch it still do reruns guess woods in my blood even though we owned a sand and gravel company and I had dump trucks to deliver material to customer but friend owned tree company and would help him out haul logs are whatever sold the business in 92 went to work for him cause I'm a heavy equipment operator also I so some. Clearing job come in handy did tree work from the ground don't like heights 8:55

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds like you got some big work done in your day! Thanks for watching!

[@travisarndt2330]

Another great video going to have to watch it in a few parts some impressive machines he has!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@tm3389]

I nominate this movie for an Oscar

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Heck, yeah, and more entertaining than what comes out of Hollywood.😉👍

Haaaaa! I would not win, not any guys swapping spit. Thanks!

[@InTheWoodyard]

That does not take much!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

@@InTheWoodyard 🤣

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice video Chris. That’s what you get when a pro photographer & a pro logging/firewood company come together. Jessie isn’t afraid to spend to make money. Interesting that he owns the firewood at retailers until sold (what used to be called consignment). GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks 👍

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Great machine

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@cobra-mn745]

was waiting for you to jump out in front of the machine and claim those cherry trees lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, there was a few really nice logs there!

[@Mainelywork]

🤘Impressive operation!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Goodness Gracious Chris.... I've seen a lot of multitasking equipment in my 64 years but this thing is 4 or 5 in 1 machine!! Woodsman dream!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it is a awesome machine!

[@RobLivingstone-bz1qp]

Thanks for the video. Always wondered how they measured the logs on a machine like that

[@InTheWoodyard]

All electric sensors.

[@saltrock9642]

I live in a pine plantation area in the south and these types of equipment is just about all the harvest companies use. I see some Tigercats but not like that beast, most are a little smaller. Fun movie.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@roncaron-l1r]

Hi Chris my friend White River had one I tried it work nice very good video (Ty Ron

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cool, thanks for watching!

Robert is a magician running that Tigercat. I have a belly button, now I want Billy Button for my retail bundle sales like the Jesse button🤣 GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! Me too!

I enjoyed that. Thank you 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Overhead Drone view beginning thru the day would be Epic Chris!!! That machine can absolutely get tge job done!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it can...a drone is on my list!

[@kenthorsen4558]

A field trip in the middle of the week 👍 One guy sure can get a lot done in a day. Thanks Chris!

[@InTheWoodyard]

You got that right!!

[@chadm4229]

Tiger cats are AWESOMENESS machines

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@briannelson4493]

It certainly does make short work of a woods. But that’s why it was made. Keep on cutting

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris. This is perfect to watch in my cubicle. You’ll be on my left screen as I cycle count HVAC parts GETTING PAID. Most best day ! GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

I made it just for you my good man..good night Irene!

[@jimlukesh483]

Chris, can ya get me a ride on that Cat? I love how it Meow's!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Haaa!

[@haroldanderson2781]

That was fun to watch Mr. Chris. Did he mention how much those things cost new?

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup, over 850k

[@FatherOfTheParty]

Those machines are remarkable pieces of engineering. Took me a bit to realize that the bark was coming off due to the limb stripping knives.

[@iffykidmn8170]

That and the springtime bark peeling easily on Aspen/Popple/Poplar.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, the aspen peels easy in the spring.

[@InTheWoodyard]

YUP!

[@BH-ux2hm]

Awesome!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@annmariekowalski7505]

Incredible

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it is that!

[@bwillan]

That dozer is an ant in comparison to that TIgercat Harvester. Clearly Jesse lives the motto of "Go big or go home". Jesse has a good point of not putting handles on the bundles for theft deterrent. Those arms on the harvester head are sharp enough to peel the bark from the logs as they go. That has to help with producing a better bundle firewood product.

[@InTheWoodyard]

All of the aspen/poplar is going to a paper mill none of it is used for firewood....mostly toilet paper and cardboard. The bark peels off easily in the spring when the trees are wet with leaf growing sap.

[@squirrelrelocator]

Wonder if my rental yard has one. ;-)

[@InTheWoodyard]

Haaa!

[@LeBlancfirewood]

The guy i drove for ran all tiger cat good stuff

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup, it is that!

[@Jessicayang-kc6ii]

YUP!

[@brendankaempf1642]

Gonna have to watch this in sections lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the effort!

[@fullers1966]

When that log like this how many flat tires do they get

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Most have the liquid run flat sealer in them.... I would imagine each tires value in the 5-7,000$ range .. I'm probably low on that with inflation

[@kimberly1567]

Great play on words

[@iffykidmn8170]

Forestry tire is many times stronger than an Ag tire like what would be found on a typical tractor, I doubt he has had any flats thus far only running two years.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they are not normal tires!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup.

[@jkeane39]

Goodmorning Chris ,on a scale of 1- 10 how would you rate Ash wood I have quite a lot of it .

[@HuckThis1971]

Ash is very good.

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Ash is Cash... The old days the Royalty in Europe and England maintained Ash Groves for many uses... Many towns in the US are named after the Ash tree Groves planted in the 17-1800's

[@iffykidmn8170]

Scale 7-8 overall good heat and dries relatively fast.

[@InTheWoodyard]

For heat a 7 for ease of cutting selling and drying 9.9. Cutting 9 ..in the woods it grows straight and few limbs and hinges well.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup.

[@neilmeyers5519]

I haven't seen the entire video yet but some harvesters will split sawed and peeled logs, too. Impressive, but I doubt they do well with crooked, deeply knotty trees. Three to four foot diameters may be problematic also. Surely, any harvester is a godsend for loggers on large jobs.

[@iffykidmn8170]

I am guessing 24" would be pushing the upper limit.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, expensive but fast and very productive.

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup

[@BertsCustomCuts]

You should have had him set to 16 and saw you a truck full of cherry.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe next time!

[@HuckThis1971]

Cab is self leveling! 😎

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it is awesome!

[@HuckThis1971]

@@InTheWoodyard notice the cup holder with the pop in it? Even that is self leveling. Not good to spill good canuck beer EH! Another sign it's Canadian! 😂

Tiger Cat is what most loggers use here in Maine also

Nice!

Ya dar hey!

[@iffykidmn8170]

Did you get an answer on bar length and max cut diameter, 404 or 1/2" chain? 1% 💩😁

[@InTheWoodyard]

No, I forgot to ask Robert, but it looked like about 30' and .404 chain.

[@kopitzke55]

Eats a scorpion 😂 come see a Scorpion Giant run and you’ll laugh at that Tigercat.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I have watched both run and from what I can see it is the operator that makers the difference.

[@kopitzke55]

@@InTheWoodyard Operator skill definitely matters, but there’s a reason Ponsse sells 50-100 machines a year while Tigercat only sells 1-2. Tigercat heads are almost identical to the Ponsse H7 for a reason-Ponsse excels in service. In Tigerton, where I’m from, Ponsse has its own certified mechanic who handles all our warranty work and knows the machines inside and out. That’s why we’ve owned six Ponsse machines. The local lumber company has a Tigercat, and they couldn’t get it serviced until a shop five hours away came down. Come watch an ergo in action on a large hardwood, 20” and up. You’ll see the difference for yourself.

[@jarndt908]

@@kopitzke55 Ponsse are popular because they make it easy to buy a homeless person could buy one on Ponsse credit.

[@jarnopelaa1984]

Mitä puuta tuo on

[@hansfossholt1016]

A tigercat can`t compare to Ponsse Scorpion Giant. A have had 2 Scorpion and run them for almost 20000h. How is the sight of the right in the tigercat machine 🤣🤣🤣

[@InTheWoodyard]

I am sure they are both great machines. From what I can see the operator is the week link most of the time in any brand of any machine.
