How are the Duels working for you? Are you getting better production out of the from the 635? When would you think you might be taking them off or leave on?

[@cotontop3]

We were just talking about that very thing. For us, once we take them off, we will probably never put them back on. If we ran in swamps 100%, we would run them but otherwise, our biggest help is the sunshine.

[@fei-forestry6169]

@@cotontop3 I'm being curious as to why you wouldn't run them again as I have been thinking about putting duals on my 748 to keep us running up here in the N.E.

[@wiedehopf9068]

@@cotontop3 The chains you have once shown on that forwarder are probably even more expensive than duals huh? Anyway great you are able to run again :) It's not only the skidder that has problems if it's that wet, maybe best to just take an involuntary break / do some maintenance.

Kevin is one buisy man watching him run the processer is like watching a orchestra being played every thing is one beat after another man he is a beast in there

[@johnwhicks8687]

Awesome video. Was really cool to see the duals up close. That’s not something you see every day. Glad it’s drying out for y’all

[@nick-mv3co]

Thanks for letting us know about the tires makes sense to me. Love the videos my friend..

[@raymondhinds3539]

Great video and explanation on the duels, I was interested in why they were made to be so close together. I look forward to more of your great videos.

[@lomax3216]

Sure glad you're getting some good weather for a change.

[@Robasteerjock51]

It’s amazing to watch that machine working...

[@johnwilloughby9712]

great video Tim , nice setup on the duels should work out good with all the rain been falling , be safe and have a blessed day !

[@mikesmith7421]

love the video , very informative , always wondered about dual tires

[@randlerichardson5826]

I cut timber for 25 plus years. I’m disabled now at 50 years old. Only work I ever done that I enjoyed. I miss it a lot.

[@countrygirlfishing]

Yea we are getting sun too ... going to try fishing tomorrow!!! Great video Tim !!

[@tonyanderson6493]

Thankfully I started a new job today , been out of work since b4 turkey day, I'll try n catch ur vids when I can, take care.

[@dancrafton89]

Nice to have sun shine. Great video. Had to come back and add something about the tire you cleared up for me. Was wondering how you keep thing out from the middle of them. I had seen truck tires blow from rocks getting between them when I was driving a dump truck in rocky places. God bless you'll

[@terrellfarms1]

Been around the logging industry for 30 years Tim i never knew you had to let the air out of the tires to get them on. I thought they were pulled together by the rim bolts. Learned something new today.

[@byronglover490]

Great content as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@rodneyfelker4501]

nice video learn something every day from you thanks keep logging

[@randlerichardson5826]

Great operation I sure do miss that work I could set and watch that work all day. Why yeah I’d like one of them calendars.

[@mikehornsby599]

Good stuff enjoyed that!!!

[@oliverharding9761]

Just watching your dad in the truck reminded me of a saying a relation of mine always said" experience is the greatest teacher we could ever have". If you put a young person in that muddy spot he wouldn't be able to tune the truck around so as the other old saying goes "you cant put an old head on young shoulders". Take care and GOD BLESS.

[@williamuskoski1385]

If you wanna learn the little tricks watch the old timers. Can never go wrong with it. No matter what industry

[@mattjacobus3005]

Another great video from CT3 keep up the good work,think Tim must have done a sun dance for the sun if that's the case keep it up lol

Good morning Tim!

[@glenpomeroy2047]

Another great video Tim! Have you ever been to the Tigercat plant in Ontario Canada to see how they build your machines? Great tour, well worth seeing if you haven't been there. Much of your wood appears to be smaller diameter timber, what is it being used for?

[@johnny567deere]

I'm a new subscriber, and really enjoy your videos. I like the way you put the little bit at the end. For my opinion on the duals. Maybe it doesn't apply because of the forestry application, but the taller tires should be on the inside. It should give you better manoeuvring on the hard ground, all the while being easier on the components. If I'm wrong I don't mind being corrected. Keep up the great content 👍👍

[@grandpajim329]

😍😍😍😍😍 THANKS TIM !!!

Wonder having different tire height affects traction. I would think the smaller tire will cake up and be slick.

Maybe someone asked this already but I didn't see it. I have seen loggers up my way in the mountains run big heavy tire chains for traction. Have you ever tried using chains, or is that just an up north kinda thing?? 🙂

[@brentlawson4482]

How long would it take for someone to learn and run the processor effectively?

[@liquidkeyz8106]

Ok if u had duels on front would it turn n ride better would it haul more more tire mayb more wood or handle more each drag ???

[@aaronspicer949]

Would the height difference cause some of the traction issues? Difference in distribution? Just thinking out loud

[@billy-bigpapasmith574]

Would it help to put water in the tires like they do on a farm tractor?

[@ericbenz618]

What is the fuel consumption with the duals on versus running just singles ?

[@albertsmith6717]

Tim, I know you've said how good the tigercat skidders are, but not long ago you had a Deere skidder, how did it compare with the Tigercats? Is there a skidder out there now that is anything like the 635d in power?

[@waltermattson5566]

Very good job explaining things. Are the inside rims threaded for the rim bolts or does someone have to hold nuts when you put them on?

[@cotontop3]

It takes nuts

[@craigschofield64]

Yep mother nature is turning you into swamp loggers...🤪 Up here in Northern Michigan loggers have some interesting ways and equipment to deal with bottomless swamps.

[@sethparker8252]

Is that ol Phillip in the 630?

[@swampratt36]

I see where everyone is hollering run tracks , im guessing y'all's red clay is like ours here in Va and will eat up a set of tracks in short fashion .

[@cotontop3]

That’s right.

[@jacob-ih2zj]

Good info on the duals, some good information. Was he pulling on brush or did the ground dry up that much after lunch cause those treads started looking clean? Also could you do a class on the processor? Cause when he picks up a tree it looks like it sucks it up. Awesome video, thanks Tim

[@cotontop3]

This was filmed 4 days after putting tires on. It’s dried a good bit.

[@farmingwithbryon9846]

After a few days of running do you think the duals are helping or just using more fuel Chad can make that thing talk to you

[@melkebonde1969]

Hello mr. Cotontop3.Great video. Why does your tires and most american tires even agricultural , have different angle on the ribs than european tires ? They dont seem to run clean as good in muddy conditions?

Hi do you run beat juice in your tires or run them dry have a great day

Pretty sure they are dry

[@cntslesfabrication]

How much more fuel are you going through with the duels then without the duels

[@cotontop3]

It has surprised me, but not anymore than we were burning before the duals.

[@alvinroundy6856]

I think you need to pull Phil out of school so he can learn the mud. If Chad gets mad and leaves you will need three to take his place.

[@jeffrhodes97]

Do u have to change the gearing with duals on vs single tires

[@cotontop3]

Not in this situation we didn’t have to do anything other than put them on.

[@jeffrhodes97]

Nice that save a lot of time

[@SawmillerSmith]

You said the used tires were bigger than the new tires. just put the 2 new tires on the same side would slove the problem of different hight.

[@cotontop3]

I just watched it again and that is not what I said. You can’t do it how ur talking about because the tires are not the same width. Inside is 30.5 wide and outside is 24.5 wide.

[@yaknbassaddicts4176]

Sawmiller Smith they a different withs also. Outside tires are new and never used but thin size. Inside tires a original and wider .

[@SawmillerSmith]

Okay guys, I get it now.

[@rinkaarnoutse7487]

Just thought of this but that would also ruin your diff-lock pretty darn quick

[@ronaaserude8225]

a low speed application like a skidder there's simply no risk of heating up properly inflated tires, especially in those cold wet conditions you're working in. I never have figured out why so many armchair experts have to run their mouths and tell the world everything they don't know!
