[@jbonegw]

Ryan looks like a pretty smooth operator as well.

[@canvids1]

Chris I could sit here and watch that machine work all day. I love the sound the hydraulic motors. The Volvos all seem to have that sound. great video and a great operator.

[@shirleyqualls8036]

That saw thing is crazy, first time I've ever seen one and all I can say is WOW

[@salmonhunter7414]

That head works pretty slick.

[@scottreichert8572]

It's crazy when you have so much control with a dangle head!

[@treeclimbing7798]

Ain’t it tho

[@jasonking2943]

Looks like the head swings better after it's lubed up

[@neusac4590]

You going into the logging business Chris. Of course, nothing wrong on learning new skills. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Look at the counter weight...I have seen derby cars with less damages after the 1st heat!🤣

[@arkansas1336]

Your friend has become quite efficient with the cutter. Nice video!

[@toddreynolds8875]

He been running one for. Multiple years. He is one of the first ryans dangle head purchasers back in the day. Aint his first rodeo

[@CaptKirk1701]

Looks like something Logger Wade would do the first day! 😂😂😂😂

He was sure stacking it nice for you Chris.

Now that is a cool piece of kit....

[@gangesexcavating]

Directional felling heads are being used here on 65 degree sideslope. Normally tethered to a levelling carrier run off a remote winch dozer or excavator.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Definitely quicker than ✋ cutting!

It looks like he's going slow so the rookie skid operator can keep up.... 😆

haha I heard it was his first day lol

Now you need the stump grinder head. LOL

[@rickeyburke2596]

Your boys good with that cutting head.

[@noc8076]

Would be interesting to hear why he chose that head. A harvester head could also de limb and cut to length in one operation.

[@toddreynolds8875]

Harvester head then you would need a forwarder. Plus a cut to leangth head would be about twice as expensive. And. And. And. And and. That Ryan s head is worth its wieght in the woods.

[@gayle4804]

This is a little different for you Chris and I enjoyed it

[@tonypyatt196]

Awesome!!!! Enjoyed the video don’t see many on the Ryan’s Head

[@tonypyatt196]

[@andysukosd8177]

Another great video, Thank you

[@markconger8049]

I could have watched at least another half hour of that!

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

just a beautiful little rig !!!! anyone thinking this is slow needs to remember, he,s filming & not getting ahead of the skidder, but he could just mow the whole place , put the bucket back on & dig a pond while the skidder claens up the wood , i,ve been logging for 40 yrs and i,ve owned & do own purpose built bunchers, and let me tell y,all these set ups are the slicker than snot on a brass door knob, i,m am moveing my fleet to excavator based units !

[@robertordewald8678]

It would seem to me the processor that uses a shear would be a better choice on this soft wood. Do you like running the skidder? It seems like he can't process enough fast enough to keep you busy. Am I correct? Thanks for your video.

[@jamesbowers3540]

That was not enough

[@nixboys]

As a swedish subscriber one thing that I'm constantly wondering about is: here I Europe all of our excavators have quick detach systems on them which means we have one machine to do several different jobs. As well ass in the forest we have machines like ponsee and rottne to do the felling/cutting to length. Why is it that something you guys don't use in the US? Not trying to offend anyone, just always wondered why that is.

[@keegsmusic5746]

We have quick couplers too but I imagine it's because they just don't want too pay the extra to get it when they bought the machine. And going from a digging setup to a logging setup is a bit more work than just swapping attachments there's hydraulic lines to get set up and pins to change possibly, etc, etc.........

[@cathiwim]

Expense. Most people here start logging on a shoestring budget, many use equipment decades old. So thats probably what it is. Only the biggest outfits can afford that new stuff.

[@deconteesawyer5758]

Ha ha ha. Why do Americans not follow Sweden ? Americans value their freedom. You are sentenced to labor for the commie elite as slaves to the State with no pay for more than 20 years for the crime of being born in Sweden. 53% of a worker's wages straight to the State. We value our family more than the State commie party elite. We will not give up our right to defend them with our guns much less a simple knife, in order that the State sponsor and control the timber industry. Much better to live in a free world and allow free men to purchase and use the equipment they choose and work for themselves instead of the commie party elite.

[@davidhakadoober._1-]

I like your way of tree removal but I suppose if it’s needed for building material this is right.

[@ryanandroff3288]

That dangle head is pretty cool but I can cut way faster with a regular rubber tire feller buncher. Seems like an awful lot of money spent on something that isn't very quick.

[@letsdig18]

yeah but in 10 minutes you can take the head off and put the bucket on and do excavation work.

I think there Construction equipment headquarters was also in Asheville.I know we did some business with them. Then all of a sudden Volvo left. I don't know what happened.

[@JCourts2k23]

Are these less expensive than a caterpillar excavator?

[@mfk12340]

I believe they are comparable in price if you're looking at the same two sizes. The volvo may be a smidge more expensive. But all in all it doesn't really matter if it's a Cat or Volvo, as long as it doesn't have JCB written on the side then it's not a bad piece of equipment.

[@toddreynolds8875]

Lol why is jcb bad. Owned them before backhoe and excavator. Both were good. Just keep in mind jcb is the onlyyyyy. Heavy equipment company in the world with absolutely zero debt. 100% owned outright company. So ole john c branford must have done something right.

[@toddreynolds8875]

Im not gonna knock. Volvo. But. Wowww want to talk about a mixed breed. Until they got it together a few years ago. Man o man. They use to have poclain finals and jo blows pumps and totally junk. Then Akerman at least got them somewhere on the right track. You ever work on volvo stuff ohhh i have. Talk about. Out to lunch design they surely had it in the past.

[@mfk12340]

@@toddreynolds8875 Bear in my mind, most of my experience has been with CAT. So for the winter season we rented a couple JCB loaders, and they were garbage. The small loaders were supposed to have the universal skid steer attach, and that didn't work right and you weren't able to grease the pins, and because of that they'd freeze in place or just wouldn't work. And they just weren't as reliable as the caterpillar loaders. And we had a couple of the compact wheel loaders, I think they were 409s, and then we had a couple of the small wheel loaders, the 427s, and they all just felt sloppy and underpowered. And the controls weren't as smooth as the equivalent caterpillar models, and they didn't feel quite right. Granted I've only ever used their wheeled loaders, so they're backhoes and excavators may not be all that bad. But their loaders are absolute garbage.

[@toddreynolds8875]

I agree on Caterpillar they have there shit together for sure. To get 20 and 30 thousand hours from there loaders. And i agree there parts department is un touchable. But. I have had bad experience with my 430 cat backhoe. Almost new. And sucked a turbo down it. Like a month out of warranty and they would even take time of day to address anything about it. Out of all the machines ive ever owned. I would put Hitachi at the top of my list anyhow. Maby not everyone else

What is the point of using this piece of equipment when in previous videos the stump is pulled is when the tree is felled. Un-economical isn’t it ? Really addictive videos though 😊

[@TrevorDennis100]

Is that lub or hydraulic oil he pours at the start there? Three gallons seems a lot if it is lubrication, because it implies it will be lost spread around the job site. Come to think of it, it doesn't matter if is lub or hydraulic oil. If it needs topping up that much then it means it is using it. It's not like the old total loss from eons ago, except even that still happens with two stroke engines. I think I'd better quit while I am behind. ;-)

[@letsdig18]

Bar oil for the chainsaw

[@toddreynolds8875]

Its bar oil for the chain. Same amount or less then if you cut it by hand chainsaw. Plus. The old oil comes from the earth to begin. With. Just remember drake oil well in Pennsylvania. First usa oil discovery. It was bubbling out of the water straight down the river and the man stumbled on it while trout fishing!! It will all be alright!!

[@timbertom4324]

What is the life expectancy of this machine using it for this Application ?

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

A machine can last a lifetime if you take care of it, that's the problem with most operators these days is they run equipment into the ground by damaging it by not oiling, maintenance and being aware of their surroundings. What will go before the trackhoe is the cutter/grabber. Next would be your boom from hitting trees or have falling limbs. All depends on the company and how they utilize their equipment to the fullest but to the safest route

[@clydeacor1911]

It'll last longer as a cutter than it would as a digger because this kind of work doesn't really work the machine. But the undercarriage will wear faster because of all the traveling it does.
