Logging with Tree Farmer C5d 77' skidder - Deutz F5l912 engine & CanCar 20 winch

[@kingtut8381]

THANX 4 THE GREAT MEMORIES OF MY LOGGING DAYS NEAR INT'L FALLS, MINNESOTA-LOVED IT

[@kingtut8381]

THANX 4 THE INFO

[@ticker511]

I did this for 36 yrs here in Northern Mn. The first thing theres 5 men, all you need to do the same job is a skidder operator, tree feller and a landing man. I fell and helped hook turn for turn and never touched a limb with the chainsaw. The skidder operator would back up 3-4 times on the way to the landing delimbing the trees. The skidding trail would be my trucking road, i'd never skid that far unless i had to. The only time i needed a landing man if i was bucking it up into saw bolts and pulpwood. When logging tree length i ran a 2 man crew. My wife ran a C5-D for 16 yrs, so most of the time it was just the two of us. We put 20 to 30 cds a day on the landing. We logged when it was -40 f , i like -20 everything slides nice. Be careful out there

[@ACDCrockingroll]

You can do that when it's cold

I've started many a machine like that. We had a Same 180 Hercules on our farm (air cooled) so every morning at 4AM I dragged around my tarp and salamander heater to get it started, along with a C5 tree farmer and a skidsteer. The whole tarp tent heater underneath method works really well actually it's just a pain in the butt to do it every day for multiple machines

Love the the old skidders, I run a clark of the same year. All are tough machines! Happy logging!

[@jdatwood7086]

A good way to warm your machine is to weld a pipe bung same size as your truck exhaust to the cooling shield by the blower and take a piece of flex pipe off your muffler to it. That way there you warm the jugs up and it’ll start easier.

I haven’t worked on that five cylinder engine, just the four and six cylinders in the tractors. It is an amazing engine class :o)

[@Fundy506]

Those old Deutz are an awesome engine. Never understood why they weren't as popular as the Detroits.

[@maximiskander1728]

Way better engine than the leaky Detroits.. but more expensive as it's an import I guess

[@petertitan2186]

Very well done video takes me back

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

you fellas are earning it !!! nice skidder, good job & stay safe

[@backwoodsbiker6629]

Nice machine, looks like it works and sounds nice

[@donplautz9656]

Great video y'all stay safe

[@kingtut8381]

FINALLY, AN OPERATOR WITH A GOOD DRAG

[@bernardfrith1833]

Oh see so many vids of HUGE DRAG and watch some tool pulling two trees and think they have the world by the ass! Guess these fellas have bills! There pulling good drags

[@kentpowell5427]

[@forestercroatia]

Awesome video!

Hello Maxim Iskander: 1:30 Why limb with saws??? If it's that cold out, limbs should all break off by time you make it to the landing. I used to purposely make a winding skid-road so that the load would rub up against some standing trees. Then have an area along the way where I would make a 90° turn with the load rubbing up against a standing tree, then back up & the load would fan out & rub up against the bases of a bunch of useless standing trees that I wasn't going to log (usually Black Poplars). Then pull ahead & 99% of the limbs would have broken off in the cold. I would only have a few short stubs to clean up with the chainsaw, versus working in that jungle of limbs & snow that your crew is working in.

[@badboy.7458]

Deutz is a good motor I have one in my bell saw.

[@spark23ca]

you are good men to work in that cold ...i don't go out unless i have to in that weather cause stuff breaks so easily ...including bones ...those deutz are a lot like the belarus tractor engines.. belarus has a decompression switch on it tho and a way to put the hydraulic pump gear in neutral ..it starts really easy that way .....that looks like a really nice machine tho

[@marksleeper3752]

nice skidder and you know to use it kudos

[@davidthurmond2466]

Dam been there done that but dam it had to been cold I've been on the old John Deere skidders when it was so cold u could spit and it would freeze before it hit the ground

[@ACDCrockingroll]

Wow what a thick jungle I feel sorry for you

[@kingtut8381]

ALWAYS WORKED BY THE CORD IN INT'L FALLS, MN

[@davidthurmond2466]

What they need to do is come out with automatic chockers that would unlock there self when u got to the landing have a battery pack in it and when u get to the landing hit a button in the cab and unlock them be alot less climbing up and down

[@viorelscrob6391]

Nice job. Where is this?

[@nellsonstout7001]

Looks like the skidder 2 different cousins of mine owned at 2 different times. Sadly it met a fiery fate in 2000 I believe, and I’ve lost both cousins, one in 2017 and one this year

[@davejackson8047]

Sorry for your loss!!

[@Motodiablo6]

Cold

[@storminnormanz]

whats the purpose of the chain attatched from the arch to the cab?

[@maximiskander1728]

to prevent a falling tree from damaging the winch

[@blackspruceroutes]

Salut! Courageux! Je cherche exactementbca un C5 avec le deutz Tellement silencieux!!! Les DD sont ASSOURDISANTS! Tu la Trouvez ou? Payez combien? Il serait pas a vendre,? Lol!

[@jdatwood7086]

Awesome skidder! You sure have a lot of snow! Where are you located?

[@maximiskander1728]

Québec City, Canada.

[@jdatwood7086]

Maxim Iskander Wow, only 2.5 hours north of me. You’ve got WAY more snow. Wonder if that machine was purchased at Jackman Equipment originally.

[@maximiskander1728]

@@jdatwood7086 yes Quebec is probably the place where it snows the most on this planet! :) Got it from an individual. These machines were built in Thunderbay Ontario

[@jdatwood7086]

Maxim Iskander It’s a very nice machine. I’ve got a very similar one, saw your video on the tree farmer forum.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Side note: man that skidder sounds quiet

[@jdatwood7086]

Deutz power! Although they are a bit loud to operate compared to a Deer skidder. The air cooled engine is by nature noisier .

[@nellsonstout7001]

Tired Iron so was my cousins
