"Hang on, we'll listen to the 635." You know your audience.

[@jamesparksparks8873]

Cool

[@rayoverly2002]

855 burns a lot less fuel then that deere

[@jdgimpa]

To see Kevin running that machine you would never know it's his first day on it. It takes a skilled operator to get in a new piece of equipment and run it that good!

[@warrensutton9493]

The thought of a new processor for Kevin would be a great addition! How about a ride along with him before it has to go back? Thanks for the great videos Tim!

[@BKD70]

Maybe it's the yellow paint, but that Tigercat looks a good bit bigger than the Deere. Looks like those wheels in the processor sure put the squeeze on the logs.

[@samueljoejr5191]

If Americans need to see what built this country, there it is ! Keep up the good work and thanks.

[@brentmedders]

You mean I’m supposed to watch the whole video before asking questions?? Surely not!!🤣🤣🤣 Is that an electric over hydraulic machine instead of pilot control?

[@cotontop3]

It’s pilot.

[@johnwhicks8687]

Nice. Those are some good looking logs. Great video

[@shoresharp8349]

The newer fpt engines Tigercat has in the newer machines are alot quieter than the older Cummings. I run a old 240t with over 40k hrs and she is loud !!

[@Musashi_fan1199]

You got Some nice equipment love the videos

[@banffdigger]

Got to ask was he running the controls in ER makes a big difference, makes it more efficient and quicker just have to be carefull that head doesn't hit the cab. Seen many a front window with a dent. 99% of the 855's around here have the single grouser pads and the riser to lift the machine up.

[@carltauber2939]

I found your video from four years ago, "Kevin in the processor" to be one of your most interesting videos. I hope that Kevin will do another in the Tigercat 855 and compare it to his John Deere processor.

[@catmanzrt]

Great operation but man... $700K? I don't know if I'd be able to sleep at night..lol.

[@chadbell8993]

The 855 is a nice machine. Flopped ours over yesterday. It got right sided and was back to cutting in a few hours afterwards

[@demetresrobinson2694]

Congratulations on the 100k achievement

[@kevinjohns8298]

Get your wallet he’s not letting it go😁

[@bryanchipps6572]

That squeaky sound could just be a relief. Maybe for rotate. These Southstars sound like that all the time, they're supposed to. You should ride in the back of the cab and talk to Kevin while he's processing.

[@clintonstubbs2319]

I like that Tigercat processor but that is expensive! $700k?!? Lot of money. But like you said, if you have the right people and wood, that can work great.

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there

[@OneAndOnlyKJx]

I've run a 855 with a 623c head and I think you could use one of those instead of a 624. The 623 is a great mix between a 622 and 624. If he's looking for the find end button, all he has to do is press his preselect and it will automatically find the end.

[@robwar2288]

What size stuff do you run through the 623?

[@edmundappel206]

Dammmm... Kevin's got a new toy.... congratulations 👍👍👍

[@j.b.maxwell8300]

Tim it could be a belt tensioner

[@John-yt5zr]

I’m a crane operator for IP, we offload log trucks with a rotary crane with a one bite 32 ton capacity, two things we don’t like are double bunk trailers (twice the work) and double bunk plantation trailers. We have about a 24 inch of area between the first and second bolsters to put a nine ton grapple. Take a 12 ft cane pole, 12 ft of line with a 5lb weight attached and put a bucket 12 ft in front of you, now, put the weight in the bucket without touching the sides of the bucket, do this for 12 hours a day without any bathroom or lunch breaks. I need a different job!

[@brucehuff5566]

Man that thing just looks huge. Great to see you got some maintenance jobs coming up. Thanks for a great video. Stay safe

[@shawnevans58]

Sir, with all due respect do i just call you cotontop3 or would you rather me comment by your first name? I don't know your first name.

[@thomascruff786]

A great video Tim and the H855E is a very nice looking machine.

[@glennmoore3764]

Are you sure you don't want to go back to limbing and topping with the 550xp.lol

[@halcyonzenith4411]

Amazing log physics. Does it run on ps4? (Jks lol)

[@hkrueth00]

Great video. Always nice to try out different machines.

[@dirtysouthlogging]

Hard to go wrong with tigercat

[@vastylebbq5203]

Green or yellow. Jezz auto correct Talke care boys

[@robwar2288]

What size is the 855 In Deere?? 903K?

[@GreatLakesLogger]

Factory settings are rarely optimized

[@alanb9337]

Tigercat are working with CM Labs(Montreal) on Vortex training simulators for Tigercat machines, the Tigercat 1075C forwarder and 1165 harvester, initially. John Deere/ Waratah have training simulators for their machines. (John Deere Australia Forestry Simulators 'link - brochure more more info') Did the previous operator of the 855/624C not take up or have access to adequate training? Be interesting to measure the operator 'eyeline' height between the H855 and the 2554. Probably not worth the hassle to retrofit a Clean fix or Flexaire reversing fan to the 2554.

[@vastylebbq5203]

BTW Tim, I was at Lowe's today and a Sheet of OSB was 35 bucks! I hope that's trickling down to you guys. Take care

[@John-yt5zr]

Operating a log loader(I also do that) is a walk in the park compared to sitting 90 ft up in the air offloading a log trailer with a rotary crane. BTW, I really like operating log loaders, lots of fun!

[@w056007568]

Kevin can sure fire the logs through that machine and can make it twist and turn real quick. However it all about the efficiency of the harvest operation which translates into loads moved on average each day. Factors like the severity of the terrain will have a big impact, weather issues and skidder haul distance / cycle time on output but its having a balance of efficiency between the harvester, the skidder, the loader and the trucks to haul it all away.

[@MrShanghai34]

was talking at work about drones. What's your present drone and what would you say the usable range/distance of it? Just wondering

[@tuffram2165]

The fuel capacity might be down on the new machine but I guarantee you that new machine is way more fuel efficient than the older one so it doesn't need that huge fuel tank.

[@derrickpettit3489]

Man what a saweet machine, that thing is fast, it has tons of swing power man, if there's one thing tigercat has got there stuff together when it comes to logging, they make some tough machines , thanks for sharing Tim, look forward to the videos of kevin running it, he is definitely making that beast run, man he's got it rollin. 💪🇺🇲

[@vastylebbq5203]

Kevin sutra can rock him a processor, gteenworks or yellow!

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff Tim , Kevin and Chad, nice looking machine that:):)

[@jeffprice8250]

I don’t think the gate is USABLE anymore

[@richwielechowski5191]

Tim, sure like the view from the boom. Gives a whole different perspective on the size of logs and equipment than from in the cab.

[@paulwoodman9886]

do you and your two brothers own the company??

[@cotontop3]

No

[@jeffhargett9096]

Great video. That machine can process faster. Keep up the great videos.

Kevin is the man. First day in machine and running the dog out of it.

[@jakekirby5842]

What are the requirements for a light/power pole?

[@jameswilliams-rc9hj]

tim if yall were to get a new processer could you take kevins old machine or maybe the old tigercat processer and make them a loader for a back up machine in case your loader breaks again? i have no idea whats the mechanical diffrence between a loader and processer is but it sounds like it would be possible in my head.

[@jeffprice8250]

Or at least til it gets growed back up again

[@walterfleming5319]

Always enjoy your videos. Tell your wife and you mom I said hello .. Walter Fleming

[@1966thewoodsplitter]

Hint hint tiger cat

[@handihal5753]

What about the height? I figure you like the taller cab for loading but does it make any difference to him when processing?

[@cotontop3]

They’re the same height. Only difference is how thick and tall the rear of the 855 is.

Going from the high cab on the Deer to the low cab on the Tigercat would be a deal breaker for me.

Our Deere processor doesn’t have a high cab on it.
