Timberjack 230D Turbo Skidder |1974| Logging in Québec,Canada

A day of work with a 1974 Timberjack 230D with an engine Cummins 4bt 3.9L turbo diesel.

[@dabprod]

I could sit and watch this operator work that skidder for hours. Used to cut wood almost 50 years ago in the heat in the deep south but couldn't afford as good equipment as you have.

[@wallacebird8164]

Oh i just love to watch this shows becouse my late father use to work here.

[@ragingbull8274]

I work with a 225 in 1975 at the QNS site north of Baie Comeau, love every minute of it

[@paulmacdonald7827]

good to see you using the lower quality wood instead of just running it over, obviously shows you care about the land.

[@badmuthar]

Good operator, taking care of the machine

[@deanconner2475]

Love the machine, remember them when l was younger, wish I had one now.

[@user-lb5ee8mz6m]

Хорошая работа. Молодцы.

[@paytonculwell3032]

SO MANY CHOKERS haha. we run 3-4 but we're pulling stuff a 9 ft choker wont fit around at the moment. Keep up the good work.

[@rollingupmysleeves]

One of the only skidders Id buy out of Quebec lol - that operator must own that machine - he treats it very well.

[@frankleonard6570]

good little machine those 230 tj but they sound cooler with the detroit!

[@deutzjoe87]

Thatts how to pull the wood out! This is so sick! I love it!

[@jsnbdr]

Nice machine

[@lawrencepotvin3209]

merci pour cette vidéo

[@sonofhextall]

eille cest pratique le winch avec les cables a place de la pince!

[@BrowerBandit]

and this is how i do my firewood all winter.

[@amosfennell9179]

Sounds so different than one with a Detroit engine!!

[@nonokastle8699]

Not as spicy ☺

[@hughtufnail302]

I'm from the west coast, we call that brush!

[@Rene-up1dl]

Pulpwood

[@robertswift8708]

Wait until summer to do that work.

[@paulmccallum4229]

A timberjack just isn't the same without a detroit screaming.

[@paytonculwell3032]

a 353 would scream like no other lol

[@biggussd5473]

Firewood ?? Right?? some of that is white birch but too small to make a log out of.

[@jdatwood7086]

Or hardwood pulp

[@georgechampion8715]

It’s pulp wood

[@sawdustandsweat1750]

Is that all firewood?

[@jerryderouin9987]

Nice video,where in Québec was this taken ??

[@DTHuntingQC]

It was taken in Saguenay

[@calebsoltendieck6058]

Ça travaille bien en tabarnak une petite machine articulée de même. Quelle grosseur de terre as-tu ? Et combien de bois sors-tu par année avec le timberjack?

[@green-zone36]

I am wondering why the guys don't clean up the load instead of bringing the brush to the yard. I am sure there is a reason.

[@kuppy1969]

what are you all logging fence posts

[@nonokastle8699]

Much more sexy with a Detroit ☺Good job, nice to play this vid, silver back operator ! Firewood or pulp ?

[@karelvanleer429]

Please tell me what u can make using those trees their not thick enough 4 producing any lumber

[@karelvanleer429]

You can plant bamboo it grows 10 times faster you can produce 100% more two-by-fours with bamboo then you can do those trees

[@agroforestryrobots5741]

These trees are most likely used for firewood. Almost all crews in North America will use specialized machinery (such as feller-bunchers or tree harvesters), not chainsaws, for lumber-grade wood. Chainsaws are too labor intensive which drives the lumber costs up because of the generally high salaries in the US/Canada.

[@agroforestryrobots5741]

Bamboo doesn't grow in -40C climates and you can't make a 2x4 directly with bamboo--you would need to use glulam techniques, etc. And while you can use bamboo as a 2x4 structural alternative, it's difficult to make flat walls with ribbed bamboo. (have you ever tried to nail sheetrock on an uneven surface?) Furthermore, considering the location, you'd have to ship bamboo from some warmer climate which would likely be thousands of miles (or kilometers) just to get the bamboo to Quebec. So not only would it not be economical, it would be less eco-friendly considering the fuel spent shipping the bamboo. Babmoo is a very versatile grass (bamboo isn't a tree) but is not a good solution for this application.

[@urbanhunter1980]

What size tires are those?

[@DTHuntingQC]

It's 23.1x26

[@karelvanleer429]

What in the hell do they make with the small diameter tree

[@gman4937]

Heat

[@robertdunn7913]

Paper

[@dabprod]

@@gman4937 LMAO

[@michaeledlin9995]

Those are not trees. Twigs would not make pulpwood.

[@tigerstar8fity593]

I run shit like that ova.

[@danjette8238]

Tiger star 8fifty5 you’re an idiot for saying such a comment! I logged with cable skidders with my father for over 20 years in northern Ontario and we picked up every tree that was merchantable. I’m no longer logging now, but I am an avid outdoorsman and your stupid comment reminds me of the cut blocks that feller bunchers and grapples have harvested in and around our area and by “harvested” I mean complete destruction! Thousands of cubic meters of timber just left behind, not skidded or simply run over by grapple skidders! It’s attitudes like yours that turn people off from logging and gives honest hard working loggers a bad reputation!

[@davidlawton8396]

I had one when I was twenty two had it five years bought John Deere way better machine

[@turdferguson74]

Why would bother taking twigs out
