Those coots were tough. No cabs, ROPs, or safety gear of any sort. Just an aluminum hat if you were lucky. What a time to have been alive.

My grandpa's logging company had 19 D8s and 4 loaders and grader all catapiler

[@asbestosfiber]

those guys at 4:30 bucking those logs with a saw and the dozer just goes by and dusts them out. I guess as long as the Cats have the copper bellows dust collection, the loggers are on their own

[@johns3106]

Some good sized turns being pulled here!

[@deepbludude4697]

Ive got a barn here in the Ozarks that was built with old growth lumber, there is a lumber co punch mark and date of 1887. I can still see the bulldozer scars where they bladed out two ponds on my property (1938) I found a bottle dump where one night someone drank some beers. Some one had to cut down the trees and pile rocks to make pasture. I have 40 year old lumber on most of my property now, and some really old growth black oaks. Sometimes I just wander around tripping on the hard core dudes and women that tamed this land by hand.

[@robbaskerville253]

I really enjoyed that. Thanks for keeping these films alive.

Could you see the gym boys with the tats and topknots doing that kind of work today ? It would kill them in a shift ! Those guys were tough pulling those cross cut saws all day long felling and bucking !

I owned and operated a 1954 D-7 dozer for 28 years. It was a tough hard worker. I foolishly sold it and have regretted that decision from day one.

[@DanSulyma]

My neighbour felt the same way and bought one for his retirement.

It's kinda surprising to see how a lot of the design aspects in these machines have remained the same today, just given a new look.

Still building roads, hustling logs, building stock tanks with my pull start Pony motor, LeTourneau over head cable system dinosaur. Then reality sets in and it's back to ripping coal on a new 11T. The cable work is like a drug, open cab, no comfort but the work is way more satisfying.

[@how_to_hallagon1]

I think transport was safer with railroads in the woods. Logging roads are always one lane. You have to get on the radio and let the truck coming the opposite way know that you are on the road and their is no place to pull over if they get caught. Trains don't have to do that.

[@pickititllneverheal9016]

.25c worth a fuel an hour 😮😢 Five and a half cents a gallon.

[@cspeti4]

25 cents of fuel an hour, zero PPE and open cabs. Those were the days

[@Pattyboytheking]

God I wish we could go back to the days of no high visibility or safety gear. Just men working. Getting the job done. Corporate America has ruined everything.

Amazing to be able to see this stuff! Impressive machines, and men. Also a shame to see where all the deforestation started. Hopefully we can find a balance very soon.

There's a park just north of Peoria where a 12 foot by 20 foot sequoia log resides. Brought to Caterpillar for the purpose of test dragging forestry tractors.

As usual, they sold anything and everything regardless the consequences. Large corporations have consolidated and are doing it today. But instead of mining timber or minerals, they are mining you... Food cost, medical cost (insurance co.), fuel cost, drug cost, communications cost, etc. How's that $18.00 hamburger working out for ya? Or the $4.50 a gallon gas? Or the $1500.00 insurance premium with a $7,000.00 deductable? Waste, waste,waste. There you go.
