Luke’s new Tigercat| 250D

My buddies down the road...

[@kennethhinkle8629]

I like my Deere's but that tigercat loader and skidder were built right. Thanks Wade for sharing.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s a nice operation! Could definitely move some logs with that thing! I like the skidder too!

[@juliusdexter8159]

instaBlaster...

[@chrisrobl9341]

I bet those boys keep the trucks rolling! Awesome video Mr Wade. Thanks.

[@johnwilloughby9712]

great video Wade that's a beast of a skidder be safe and have a blessed labor day weekend !

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Wade, I’ve been around and run logging equipment all my life and Tiger Cat is by far the best there is in the woods. They build there equipment with the owners and operators in mind for sure. They cost a little more but my Dad always said you get what you pay for.

[@chuckwiegand4278]

Very nice operation and nice equipment can process a lot of timber quickly

[@JT.0915]

Like a mama cat gently moving her kittens around. Talk about a smooth operator. I bet he could dial up the ole lady with that grapple.

[@briangardiner1015]

That was an impressive landing. Nice and neat. I would like to see the chipper in action. Those Tigercats look like a well built machine. There is an operation here and they drag the trees to the landing, but they process it at the landing. Then they run the slash through a Bandit grinder and sell the ground material to a biomass plant.

[@jamescarter1500]

Baddest loader ever built! Love the loader and the grapple but those short metal lines on the grapple cylinders are a pain in the ass. God forbid the little small mounting bracket breaks you can't keep the lines tight! Tigarcats biggest flaw on all their cylinders are those Steele lines

[@shorelogger4033]

Now that’s my kind of logging there Wade, hell yea! Stroking that pine baby!

[@LoggerWade]

Shore Logger haha true that bud

[@ronsilva516]

That’s a nice set up there talking about production that’s called get er done 👍👍👍

[@sealevel1919]

That guy was a smooth operator. Definitely has put time in the seat

[@LoggerWade]

Sea Level oh man prolly the best boom operator I’ve ever seen

[@TheByard]

A few operators can use em, others just abuse em. Then there are lots that just don't have a clue. I got trained on 360 deg excavators and the instructor was a 7ft tall 6ft wide Irish man, who told us once the second time came with a clout around the ear with his size 16 hand. You didn't need no third time telling, when you pulled a trench the bottom had to be real smooth, the muck had to be landed 2 yards back from the top of the trench, and more if the trench was more than chest depth no ifs or butts.

[@TheMetalButcher]

Grease nipples on a door hinge says a lot about a piece of equipment. However, when you leave so little stones unturned, it also says a lot about the price tag. Probably worth it in the long run.

[@shorelogger4033]

Peterson grinder with the flail debarker on its own tracks, hat a nice set up, looks like something we have round here buddy

[@jvallieres1979]

Real nice setup. I have never seen a slasher setup with delimber like that but it works slick.

[@briangardiner1015]

That is called a CTR delimber.

[@jacobcarter34]

We have a t250d as well along with 2 234b trailer mounts. that 250 comes in very handy in wet spots and in using the tag along to get extra wood ahead. also beats the heck out the trailer mount feeding chipper.

[@LoggerWade]

jacob carter yeah I could definitely see that bud

[@jaredbeasley1246]

Not knocking other brands of equipment...but tigercat is by far the best..just my opinion...but seems like wade agrees with me and of course we already know how stevey feels about it lol...great video wade as usual..continue to be blessed and stay safe

[@davidhaley7053]

Very nice operation. Nice loader. The slasher didn't seem to work as well as I think it should though. The buncher guy could improve on the flared butts too. Lol

[@jamescarter1500]

Have you ever ran a wheel cutter? It's a ruff ride with low stumps! If he cut the trees up above the bells the stumps would be 2 feet high! And where this juniper grows the ground is soft. You got to do what your going to the first time or tear the ground all to hell. Alot different than pine logging

[@kylebarth5993]

That would make a great wedding anniversary present!

[@kevincarver6727]

Great vidja Wade. Very nice logging outfit. Gotta keep that equipment moving for sure. You could use that skidder. Stevy would never shut it off. Lol. Later

[@monoxidechild6161]

Love the vidjas and so does my 4yo! She said you need to make more with eva though...lol. stay safe out there guys!

[@LoggerWade]

Monoxide Child copy tell her more to come

[@catdieselpower193]

Real nice machines Tater!

[@calraines6931]

Slick operation!

[@shawnmoss8247]

Now I'm no longer but I like how simple and to the point the engineering is easy to access panels up and down very scookum indeed

[@shawnmoss8247]

Hate that dam spell check I was so worried about scookum I didn't see logger was rong just embaricing and I can't spell that eather I hate for your viewers to read this im sorry Wade

[@LoggerWade]

Haha I love it buddy

[@NotJustaTool]

Ooooooh, THE CLAW! Nice!!!

[@kellykonoske91]

That Peterson grinder is built about ten miles from me here in Oregon

[@stevieky]

Thats just what you need Logger Wade !!!!!!!!!!!

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

i need one of them !

[@triple6758]

Interesting technique on the slasher.

[@joshcunningham9082]

Stevey going to love this video lol

[@steveyoder6437]

😎 tigercat !!

[@2t123]

looks like tigercat is the way to go...

[@taylor12317]

damn fine loader hand

[@mattirvine1006]

What does your crew think of the 5900 chipper? I’m running one at the moment and after coming from a 5000H I must say I’m not a fan

[@chuckstevenson2929]

Good vidja right there. How bout posting some of ya'll and alls high production slashing?

[@barryhansen6854]

A present for Mother is it Wade.

[@ForestxPower]

Muito top, que um dia eu tenha a oportunidade de aprender também a trabalhar com essas belezinhas😎❤️

[@JasonWorksAlot]

From the looks of it the tigercat equipment really is made top notch. Even from a preventive maintenance stance which is shocking. But the real question is does it come with anti-seize on the bolts??

[@LoggerWade]

JasonWorksAlot haha Luke says no still no anti seize

[@stevenmiddagh6265]

Time to upgrade Wade.

[@drepalmer1768]

Nice skills

[@geraldwilson3834]

Thats purdyful

[@shorelogger4033]

Some white pine ain’t it Wade? We have that nice big beautiful loblolly pine here thow

[@kevinmcgann9732]

Hey Wade cool video, is the guy your riding with the owner/operator of the equipment?

[@LoggerWade]

Kevin McGann yeah they a family like ours

[@waylonskitchen3525]

Nice vjda logger wade

[@CMDSR]

Hot dang that Tiger Kitty oughta get em out the woods no problemo

[@alanmagee1207]

OFFLEY NICE EQ FOR CUTTING PINE.

[@bradsmith7106]

If you get one of them grapples least then you can say you own something tigercat!!!! Lol

[@ericlakota6512]

They should make the log boob swivel side to side like a back hoe or rotator truck with wench combo for up hear in mass vt and NH where its all rocky granit hills it would help to counter balence the grapples are nice but up hear its not always best because your eather on cliff face or in mudy bottomless soft ground realy only hear and their is grapple any good but when u can use it its so dam nice not hallft to hook every log

[@SkidderKev]

That's putting up some pine in a hurry!

[@LoggerWade]

Skidder Kev boys they go through it

[@adamgipson6151]

Very nice! When are you going to get with the times? Better step up your game Tater!

[@LoggerWade]

Adam Gipson oh no not yet

[@LittellFarms]

Ah MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be safe

[@MSH-vb3jr]

Wade, bout time you get them Werner boys on video, lol

[@LoggerWade]

MSH oh I would love to they an awesome bunch... Luke said come out and run the boggie a little bit and record it

[@MSH-vb3jr]

@@LoggerWade they good people

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Tiger Cat is by far the best logging equipment made, John Deere and Cat has nothing on a Tiger Cat. Tiger Cat has the best cutters, skidders and loaders I’ve ever ran, you’ll never want to run anything else.

[@localcrew]

"Luuuuke.... I'm your father......" JK! All that pine. Izzat up in Brown County? I hear it's pretty... "Piney".

[@perrysmith6872]

How many ton will the tiger cat skidder drag ???

[@thederrick1966]

oh u in a Tigercat oh stevey is going to be jealous now

[@dppmm6567]

Sure is nice to see something that is designed for the mechanic. I have a recurring dream where I walk into a bar that is filled with the engineers that design cars and equipment. I lock the door and smash their heads together until they think about the poor bastard that has to work on their design.

[@daveg2609]

Its not just Construction type machinery that's like that. Boiler rooms seem to be designed while the engineers are laughing hysterically at the poor sucker that has to fix them.

[@peterwilson2884]

Hey driver don’t you be telling Stevie about the kitty cat grapple ,he will sook and spit the dummy,tiger cat tiger this and tiger cat that ,I can hear him now.bam! Any way as always stay safe ,cheers and beers from Aus

[@stevefisher2214]

or maybe crappie pants could go to work for Luke

[@jbmbanter]

This is a That Chipper Guy's operation twin.

[@clintonstubbs2319]

jbmbanter yeah that slasher is just like what That chipper guy has. That setup definitely moves a lot of wood.

[@jbmbanter]

I was impressed at how the operator took long logs and basically made a bundle out of them before he picked all of them up and moved them to the pile.

[@leeashworth8779]

Super kitty on the way?

[@cuznjo1]

lots of money in machines sitting there

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

im proud to say that tigercat is canadian made lol

[@jackcaldwell485]

You all need a grinder and make that much more money lol

[@wesadams4968]

It looks like they kinda copied the Prentice grapple design. I'd say they used better steel to built that tho.
