Skidder Tire Chains & Why We Do Not Use Them

[@DavidThurmond-l6o]

Never was around any of those track cutters we had 2 648ds 640d cable 548e and a bell cutter did y'all ever have one of those bell cutters that came around in the 80s

[@tylersheets6073]

Glad I will get to be there to enjoy this big thing! Thanks My Brotha!

[@saywhat951]

When chains get gooped with mud or clay there's no way to clean them, so they spin, vs mud or clay on tyres will bust off going through the bush so I agree I use em in winter only.

[@Tatoebot]

Go check out our wieler track cutter. It’s an absolute unit. I love your channel.

[@DavidThurmond-l6o]

That's what she said as the saying goes lol but not. Trying to be funny yeah those are ok machines

[@DavidThurmond-l6o]

Boy when they came out with air conditioner that was the best thing since sliced bread lol

[@ericlakota6512]

Good reason not to run chains they will dig you down faster some time if your triying to stay on top

[@craigpritchett600]

What is the actual weight ya'll are able to haul per state regulations

[@ericlakota6512]

Ok wood looks pritty garbage what are they going to be pellets

Never showed the people you headache rack....ADD must have gotten the best of ya. Hahaha

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

Yes...it happens 😂

[@benjaminnorth9980]

I have a question how come the wood is hauled tree length there do they just process it at the mill cut it shorter cause up here we have to cut up all our wood.

[@carlwilliams8354]

Almost all Southern paper mill’s woodyards handle tree length wood and the debarbing drum indeed is setup for tree length. The mill I work at is hardwood only. We unload with a P&H portal crane with a 40 ton Mack grapple. We get tree length and double bunk 16-18ft wood. It only take 2 guys per shift to run, a crane operator and a guy in the tower running the drum and chipper.

[@gavinperry7237]

What criteria do you use when selecting which trees to cut ?

[@gameknight0130]

by the way, snakes are called danger noodles! or a nope-rope xD good content. I was stuck between being a forestry operator and a heavy equipment operator in the construction industry. both of them have good careers, but the pay for a heavy equipment operator is really good in my area and I didn't want to move away from home. it was a tough, but rewarding decision.

[@davidperrin4856]

Great video great info. When is your skidders operators going back to skidder school? Might have to do a series on that? What kind of log trailer do you and Mickey like loading? Headache rack on trailer or no headache rack? Thanks again for showing us the thinning part of logging. Glad tigercat helping out on the parts for 620. Keep up the great work

[@viseshseernam39]

Tire chains suck tom ..every few days they loosen up..great for the ground we run here in maine..we use them year around up here...

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

That would suck lol

[@stephenboynton1445]

Do you not have to flow the overall length restrictions for trucks with that much hang over from the trailer ?

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

I’ll do a video on it

[@michaelalbanese3784]

I bet this big thing he is teasing is a machine demo Can we know what color the paint is mabey????

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

No demo lol

[@shawnschoppert8540]

Amazing video Thomas

[@terrybible1545]

Do the truck drivers get paid by the hour, by the load or by the mile.

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

By the day

[@darrelstoneburner6182]

Glad you got it fixed

[@laneburgess1643]

I loved the drone shots.

[@michaelalbanese3784]

Have you ever looked at timber pro Machines

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

I have, always wanted to try one but never had a dealer in my area

[@shawnennis265]

Why not load the wood all the way on the trailer. It looks long enough

[@Jpwjon]

It allows them to get more weight on the back axels of the trailer

[@joeythompson1225]

Do you happen to be anywhere near east Texas on June 2

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

No

[@jonathansearancke8668]

[@terrywatson5359]

Why don't yall use pole trailers

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

Video coming today

[@iangunter325]

Y r the outer tires are smaller than the inner on the skidders?

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

To keep them narrow enough to fit down the rows

[@iangunter325]

@@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas oh i didn't think about that

[@jakeltonhorn1481]

Do you ever cut hardwood??

I’ll do a video on it

[@brycelundeen9284]

I got a question for you, why not buy swamp tires? Great video!!

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

What is your definition of swamp tires?

[@brycelundeen9284]

@@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas Wide tires used for muddy conditions. Provides better flotation and better LGP.

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

You’re talking about 50”-65” singles? In my application the single wide tires do not work, especially they type of shovel logging we do, you need the dual tires to lock onto the wood.

[@brycelundeen9284]

@@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas Damn. That sucks. You'd only have 4 tires to buy instead of 8 if you could use them. Keep up the good work!!! Enjoying the videos

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

It’s actually cheaper to run duals like we have vs the big wide tires. And we’ve been running some of our outside duals for 10 years now 😂

[@HOGR95AMERICAN]

which state is that

[@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas]

Louisiana

Thanke you

I have a Question. What Happens to The Debris that the Delimber creates? Where does it go? Great Video!!! Thanks Much & Have an Awesome Weekend!!!

[@nomerc3608]

They use it to fill in soft spots in the pull roads. All of the tailings from the delimitation as well as the tops are used in and they are spread over the pull roads. He explains this in his other videos... *” I highly suggest you binge watch his other videos!”* You will be very surprised at what you will learn!
