When Trees Eat Skidders

[@olskoolloggin9761]

Go to “Vintage Logging Time-lapse” vid. It shows how I got into this mess at the end. Had to run my cable uphill to help me out. Never before was I in such a situation. Ol’ Skidder and I fought our way free

Vintage logging time lapse

[@dennisaustin2645]

Been there lots

[@dennisaustin2645]

I liked your video I used to log a long time ago15 years. Pulled alot of cable. Thank you. It brought back memories

[@kungfwooxmas]

I am absolutely loving these videos. I used to ride behind my father when he drove a Timber Jack in the 1970s in New England. I was only 3! He used to take me to work. I would stand in that little spot behind the driver and watch him pull the levers to steer. Wow and he also hand files his saws TO THIS DAY.

[@FerrickOxhide]

Only way to get 'em sharp without grinding half the cutter away.

[@erichusqvansonswanson7955]

Absolutely true my friend!

[@timflaig8983]

I used to run a old 60's-70's Franklin when I was logging 20 years ago.... in maine I friggin LOVED IT!

[@timflaig8983]

And it probably would have came out if he picked the pusher/plow up in the begining and half the time the tires wherent even spinning I've never seen a slider with a open differential!

[@ticker511]

Logged with cable skidders for 28 years, never had this happen. I started piece cutting 1960, in 1968 i bought a new C-4 Treefarmer cable skidder. I logged with two skidders most of the time. We quit logging in 1996, Company's ran all small logger out of business. [ Northern Minn ]

[@olskoolloggin9761]

Duane Nelson copy that buddy! Great to hear from ya and yer history. I never had this happen before either. That’s the deal with this logging, everyday there is somethin’ new! Much respect Sir!!👍👍

[@schmedlywhiplash6267]

Ya he's a pic Of work for sure.....😂😂😂😂

[@green-zone36]

Yes they call it industrial forestry. This happened all over north America. It's a shame how they destroy our enviroment. There's nothing left growing when there done. If something does try to grow it's best to kill it with herbicides and plant somthing else.. It's hard to understand what is happening in this video. Very confusing. Why was the tj jumping around with the wheels in the air.

[@crazymountain777]

Green- Zone Stop your lies tree hugger. The best thing for the forest is to log it. Did you know four times as many trees cut in America every year are planted. I didn’t think so.

[@yurikrajewsky3471]

Lol, ive been in a lot of similar Jack pots, but not quite like that lol!

[@albertooliveiraOliveira]

I have worked with a TM-114 Scania 6-speed motor, it is a beast in the bush esplanava on average 70 cubic meters of wood per day (10 hours worked) always had the whole tree cut only foot and tip. (Brazil)

[@spark23ca]

some weird stuff happens out in the woods for sure ..usually when you are alone

[@brianseverance6490]

Looks like you could use some Canadian chains

[@KellyBurnham]

Sometimes shit just goes sideways and there you are! Nasty hang-up. Thanks for posting. I hope I can avoid that one

[@keya31gville]

Nice video!! Be careful out there, somebody gotta teach these boys coming up how to fell trees

[@Mattylarge]

Haha I had the same thing happen yesterday with a timberjack 560 one tree between the front wheel and the dozer ram. And the other tree between the back wheel and cab. Had to get the 270 and push them out. And hold onto the blade so I did not roll. Haha good times

[@douglascasey3486]

When was this video footage shot? That's an old Timber Jack. I had a friend that was also in the logging business years ago. He was a lot older than me and had a bunch of these old Timber Jacks. It seems to me the ones he had were 4 speed manuel, with 4 cylinder 63 series, or maybe 76 series. I can't remember. But I do know even the John Deeres we had back then were a lot different than the ones we use today. How things have changed. I haven't had a cable skidder on the job for years now. Even in the mountains. Is he fouled up on stump? I've had to crawl under several skidders in my life to cut the stump down, because of guys getting them hung on them. Before moving South and mostly cutting plantation pine. I lived up North in the Appalachians, and I've seen about every way imaginable a piece of equipment can get fouled. From over the hill, to on its top. The tree looks like a popular or a white ash. I see what they are now, when I seen the butt, huge popular.

[@chuckwagon1892]

There are many of those still in service

[@MichaelJohnson-ox4vy]

Looks like some pretty nice popular patch he is n . Just need find himself a good skidder driver.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

You was HUNG, son and when that cheer came on it about gave me a stroke. I was listening to that 2-cycle. Good job!

[@damonthomas8955]

That poor skidder has some serious traction deficit, to bad they don't make tire chains for those things.

[@jamesderr1344]

You got-a-love it. Nice cage. Need to do for mine.

[@robertlloyd7167]

In the early 80's I worked for a logger in Klamath Falls who had a Timberjack 404 with an ESCO boom and 72-inch ESCO grapple. You could hear that Detroit 4-53 for ten miles away, I swear! It was a tough little bastard, and went like hell on flat ground. A good operator could move a lot of wood with it.

[@huckmiller1971]

I've had a tree stuck in there ,but not that bad ! Just when you think you've seen it all ! Old Jack made it out ok ! Nice jag !

[@donaldhofman296]

I used to run a clark back in the 70s, it was a screamer! It dropped a valve one day and was the super mad, it was a fresh rebuild, I told him check it out it snapped right by the keeper, nothing anyone could have done to prevent it! When the mechanic got there I told him pull the valve cover and see, he was shocked that I knew about the valves! That was one of the Detroits weak points! I was a diesel mechanic as well, but they didn't know it, I could make more money as a logger than a mechanic in those days!

[@olskoolloggin9761]

Donald Hofman ahh! The game of Loggin’!!👍👍

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Donald Hofman Blower drive gears fail on 371 from pulse of motor alot. Always change them along with valves on rebuild.

[@TheRatshooter]

I worked in an engine rebuild shop years ago. We always put new valves in green grenades for that very reason

[@olskoolloggin9761]

James Webber Ya buddy! So I was winching a bunch outta a bowl down below. Tree after tree come up until I wore the bark off, and my arch got perfectly hung up back there. Pulled myself into a mess. Never happened before in all my days! If ya check out “Vintage Logging time-lapse “ vid, you’ll see how it happened!!👍👍
