Starting up the ole' Timberjack 230 Skidder

Getting the ole Timberjack skidder fired up so we can get some maintenance done on it for the upcoming logging season this winter.

Excellent video keep up the great videos 👍👍👍👍it's good to see the Timberjack running again looks like you need new batteries for it

Sweet ole Skidder buddy! 👌 cheers 🍻 Rick

🍻🍺 rick..gotta love the sound of the skidder

[@nidayfarmranch6002]

Hey Rick, must be nice to have a skidder

[@RickBork]

Having toys is definitely nice having the repair bills and maintenance costs not so much 🤣🍻👍

What a teaser! Need more detroit music!

[@gearhead9943]

I wish you’d make some more cold starts especially of your race car and show us the startup procedure (like what you’re doing with the gas pedal and stuff). And on anything else carbed you got! Long time subscriber here!

[@Heimerviewfarm]

He sold the race car not too long ago.

[@RickBork]

I don't have the race car but I have plenty of other things we can do starting sequences on 👍🍻

[@gearhead9943]

@@RickBork hell yeah! Can’t wait. Guess I missed the part where you sold your race car.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Good to see you got her fired up!! Nice little jump box ! We've had a few of the little brief case size ones over the years.. I've thought about one of the little ones from Hobo Freight...

[@nidayfarmranch6002]

Those are ok just dont last. Ive had one for about 15 yrs. But it cost me pretty good for the name. But I've used it on a John deere 4 wd to start it, it worked with no problem

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@nidayfarmranch6002 ya, sometimes the name does make a difference... All in how much you want to spend.. Problem is, they go so long without being used..

[@nidayfarmranch6002]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin true some get used a couple times a year. Mine seems like a few times a week when I'm working on stuff in the shop or at someone else's shop.

Not looking forward to winter it’s 28° as I’m watching your video right now at 9 o’clock at night

[@RickBork]

I'd much rather is just freeze up and be done with it. I don't like the freeze thaw b.s. thanks man 🍻

[@martinbenton742]

That took me back to my logging days. 40 years ago. I ran an old skidder that we called Hienz 57. It was made from every dam thing imaginable, but ran like a Swiss watch. Doc

[@scrotiemcbogerballs8286]

Looks great buddy I need to get a jump pack or at least a charger lmao

[@straightpipeacres6365]

Hows ya now ole buddy ole pal? Good and you? Not sa bad!!

Oh just drinkin beer and givener hell in the shop 👌👍🍻🤣

@@RickBork nice giver shit have a cold snack for a guy eh!!

[@Heimerviewfarm]

Well shit, that didn't take much of turning over.

[@gregritter5883]

See Rick I told you if you had gotten those chargers like I suggested and plugged out in the day before it would’ve started

[@RickBork]

I did get one but I couldn't plug it in out there with the cows they aren't very nice to extension cords and such. She got topped off as soon as it was parked by the pole barn. 👍🍻

[@mykee426]

Whats the story on that 90s dodge single cab sittin with the junk?? 👌👌

[@RickBork]

That truck was supposed to be towed out of here months ago if it was mine I'd give the dam thing away. 👍🤣🍻

[@mykee426]

Well damnit. Id take it. Couple cases of beer??? Lol 🍺👌

[@shaneholst6940]

Damn I should get a booster pack like that ! I was amazed when you started the ranger with it that one time !!👌🍻🍻

[@RickBork]

Honestly it puts all the others I've used to shame. They make an 1100 model i believe to that is more specifically made for diesels. Cheers buddy 🍻👍🤣

[@seniorelectrician6831]

[@shawnradloff]

Where did you get your jump pac? Looking for something to have instead of always using cables.

[@mcleanfarmsryan3897]

How are ya now my 230 always had battree issues and alway was a bit of a a bitch to start but mine had a lot of canadian logger hours on it which around here mean she was used hard and put away wet so she was a little well used by the time I got er

[@RickBork]

It has a main disconnect but I have to be smart enough to use it 🤣👍🍻

[@mcleanfarmsryan3897]

Mine never got one she was a true woods donkey after all and stay at the woods lots and only came home for Major damages or oil changes

[@wemedeeres4105]

So when you mentioned the mountain of shit you were referring to the Dodge right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺
