haha, have a similar but different story about a stolen truck for ya. My dad had an old beater van stolen from him years ago. This thing was just a parts van that was used for storage at his old farm property, it ran but barely. Cops called him to say they found it a few weeks after it was stolen and ditched out in the woods. The cops were all saying to him that thief really ragged it out and they broke all the windows out of it and took all the seats out of it too. All that was done BEFORE they stole it. They actually threw out all the junk that was inside of it , so they really just cleaned the van out for him!! LOL The cops thought the damage was done after it was stolen. Dad was pissed because he had to pay to have it towed back to town since it wasnt insured....

Andrew just so you're aware that aluminum thing below the steering wheel is where you spray starting fluid and it directly goes into the intake of the engine. You pull the spray nozzle off the can so it's just the stem and give it a quick bump but not much since it's directly injecting it into the engine. All 10,20, and 30 series John Deere tractors have them.

@@soulextracter I can think of at least a couple here in New Zealand built for the reasons you gave. There is an elevated walkway near Hokitika on the West Coast of the South Island that has a tower. The view is incredible. Motuara Island in Queen Charlotte Sound is a wild life sanctuary. You can moor at the jetty and take the walkway to a tower at the top of the island that also has an amazing view. I guess there is a world of difference between that sort of tower and a fire tower where a person could live for an extended period.

Really good video. Long time ago i worked for a pallet building company. They had a Timber Jack skidder that we would pull trees we cut down to the semi . To haul back to the saw mill. I could pull up to 6 trees out at a time by cabling one to skidder along the path, at each stop. Machine would get a lot of work done. You got throwed around a bit sometimes, especially if you snagged a stump with the end of a tree you were dragging. That was a journey getting up the mountain. Really enjoyed seeing the two of you working together on machine. Very Cool. Enjoy all your videos, you figure it out and get it done.

Hey Andrew, When facing challenges, it sure is nice to have friends who help! I guess you already know this but I'll mention it in case some viewers don't. When pulling on a log and the but comes up against a tree or stump or whatever, all you have to do is back up and pull some slack in the steel choker or chain, then go to the log and spin your tow line in the opposite direction you want the log to spin. I sometimes put 10 wraps or so on the log so it spins off many of the branches in the first few feet. Works like a charm! Cheers from Canada.

Man, the videos are GREAT! I like your style, no BS, no crazy intros, no over explanations, sometimes even no context... Who are your friends? IDK, who's the nice lady? IDK. I know your name and Codys (RIP Levi) only. But that's what makes it interesting. Its not a video about who these people are or making them "characters" in your show its about the work you are doing in that moment on that day. Dont get me wrong, they are important to what is going on in the video, but that is the key. The video is about you and what you are accomplishing. You are either fixing something or doing something, overcoming a challenge or improving an area. The videos are so simple in their production but also have such great quality (drone work, 360 cam, HD, angles). They are so relaxing and something is taught to me each and every time. I don't own land, equipment, a property maintenance busines or fix machinery but you bet I watch EVERY video and learn something new. You are so skilled at what you do its incredible. A lot of people have something to learn from you, my self included, and I'm grateful you take the time to share. When I'm having a stressful day and I see you have uploaded, I stop and watch. Immediate relaxation, it always looks like you have control of a situation and know where/what to do next and how. I think that is the aspect for me that makes the videos so stress free and anxiety free. Keep it up please! I APRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.

Andrew it was touching to see that you added the footprints of Levi onto the log skidder. He is well worth the appreciation of his memory by this gesture. I think it would be a good idea to protect the footprints and company name by transparent clear lacquer. Levi is worth the effort…

Awesome video Andrew. I got to be driven around in a log skidder while my friend was working it, They are just so much fun. They have so much torque and the sound of the drive motors. Just pure grunt. I couldn't believe how manoeuvrable they are it tight spaces between the trees for such a bulky machine. I live in suburbia and have no practical use for one but i'd like to have it on the front lawn.

I just love watching your repairs. My life before my hip's gave out. Where I live, skidders and pulp porters are a way of life. Even your water dog is a native of my province. But what you have to watch, is that they get comfortable around heavy equipment and before you know it, they are in under the wheels. So make sure you know were he is at all times, and drive him away until he learns the exclusion zone.

It broke his back and paralyzed him. Back in the 80s. My dog did the same thing with shovels and pull starting ANYTHING. I think he thought I was fighting something. Buried him January 10th this year. I like the new girl! She's pretty, helpful as can be and she seems to be able to operate about anything. You should keep her! ;o)
