Tree length thinning with the LS855E

[@chuckdriver9672]

Going to look good. Probably be a dream to skid. I always liked the way a good thinning job looked when it was finished.

[@mohawk1778]

That was awesome to see the shot of the whole machine working 👍🏻

[@Dan-nl2ug]

Glad to see you wide space thin it,rather than watch it burn year after year,I enjoy watching you run that Tigercat,it is a beast,retired now but thinned a bunch for pope & talbot and port Blakely tree farms in the day/Olympic peninsula/Kitsap peninsula

[@wantowski987]

Thank you! We log for port Blakely down here in Oregon! Good people to work for

[@Dan-nl2ug]

Ya buddy,love watching you run that tigercat,never run one,hell of a machine

[@wantowski987]

@Dan-nl2ug it’s a pretty amazing machine! Where it can go with my line and without blows my mind lol

[@veterantechus]

[@timmyfrierson2684]

[@wantowski987]

Glad you like them!

Hopefully your skidder operator is careful and protects the leave trees. It will look amazing when it’s done.

Do you find yourself ever wanting a heel rack for moving around on steep ground? I saw the new 857s come with a heel rack and felling head, that seems like it would be handy!

[@wantowski987]

Yea I bet it would be handy at times, I wonder how well it heels logs, cuz my grapple cylinders don’t have load locks

[@123brutalmetal]

@ ah copy that! So that means the entire time you’re using your grapple you have to hold down the function right? How many hours are on that your 855? Looking at a 2018 with 9800hrs. Seems to be a well taken care of machine. Not sure what generally goes out on them first!

[@wantowski987]

@ no you don’t have to hold the button but just wondering if heeling logs would pry them open 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have 3k hrs on this 855, my last one we traded it it at 6500 hrs! Still was a great machine but with tethered and cutting on production sides we just thought it was best to get rid of them around 5-6k hours and run a fresh one plus better money on trade in with Less hours you know

What was the pop at 3:35 ?

[@wantowski987]

I’ll have to go back and look 🤔

[@wantowski987]

It was a limb hitting the cab lol

[@tntgaming7047]

Lol i though something popped on the head 😅
