I have been on 100s of landings and watched more trucks loaded than i can count. That video from the bang board is by far the best angle of how it's that i have seen. Thank you.
Really great video,the entire ride and shots at the mill being unloaded are great perspectives, and the all natural, squeeks,rattles and engine noise are great.
Yes finally, we finished hauling some burnt logs early and now into green trees. Still burnt ones going by your place I bet. Hopefully no fires this year. Thanks for watching.
What a great six log load Ferrel!! Josh is one top notch loader operator! That X15 and VGT turbo was singing with that load. What is the narrow metal thing in the middle of your bunk that the logs bite into called? Also, like others have mentioned I’d love to hear your thoughts pros/cons of the W990 since you’ve had some time in the seat. I enjoy these longer form videos. Catch you on the next one sir.
My bunks have a single edge on them, I'm not sure if it has an official name. Glad you like the longer videos, I was thinking it might be too long and I filmed a review video of the W990 I just need to edit it together which make take forever. Thanks for watching.
It never hurts to spot the bunk logs when loading under a shovel. It sure makes it a little easier for the shovel operator. I even used spot the wing logs when loading big logs. I know when I was running shovel, I really appreciated it. Just a thought.
That's some good advice, I imagine it's hard to judge sometimes especially in the dark I bet. Then throw in a log that got cut the wrong length and a recipe for disaster. Thank you for watching!
When I fist started hauling logs everybody had cable shovels, and if you didn’t spot the logs for them, you got an ass chewing. I just never quit doing it. I have never had a shovel operator yell at me for doing it. I do like your videos a lot. Keep them coming.
@@FourthOver We used wheel loaders on the coast for most of my logging career, when Cat logging was predominate. I retired in 2008. Heel booms/Shovels didn't come into play until the very end. Loading pine was a challenge because of the 32 foot logs. I set my bunk span at 30 feet so there was only a foot and a half in front and 6 inches overhang on the rear. I always made sure the operator gave me as much as he could on the pulling end. Your single rib bunks will save you the trouble of having to have the shovel operator walk out the haul road and untangle your load from the drive tires and mudflaps. Thanks for your time making these reminders of all the long days.
@@johnzeni327 You are right, I have my truck set up the same way, lots of log ahead on the bunk. I tie to my front bunk a lot too when we are in steep ground. The older I get the more cautious I seem to be. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
The first clip was at the top of Morman Emigrant Trail, then over to Winton Road above West Point, Ca. Trying different angles to keep it interesting, JPaydirt camera angles. Thanks for watching.
I guess we are doing it correctly, like I said before it's interesting how the same jobs are done so differently across the country. Thanks for watching.
Different configurations in different areas...up here in BC that 5 axle set up hasn't been used since the 50's and 60's . Bush then onto hyway here now is quad trailer with tri-drve truck with a legal gross of 140,000 lbs.
Could you do a review of the 990 now that you’ve hauled for awhile with it? Also maybe go over more in depth the specs you chose ( rear end ratio, wheel size, 565 hp vs 605 hp, 18 sp. vs 13 sp) and how you feel about those choices now. And why not get tapered frame from the factory. How many miles do you keep a truck for. Love the random clips. Thanks.
That's a great idea, I've been working on something like that but didn't think of adding things I would change. I will work on this in the future. Thank you for watching.
Yeah, those clutches are hard to make smooth. I still haven't figured it out. I'll keep trying till I get it right. See you out there, Thanks for watching.
That first landing has some pretty nice logs.
Yes, there was, I measured a couple of the butt cuts one 58" and one 62" Sugar Pine.
I have been on 100s of landings and watched more trucks loaded than i can count. That video from the bang board is by far the best angle of how it's that i have seen. Thank you.
I think it offers a pretty good perspective. Just trying to keep it interesting. Thank you for watching.
Pretty smooth shovel operator
Josh is one of the best I think, I think he's been on the loader close to 20 years. No matter the log size he is smooth. Thank you for watching.
I told my son John as soon as I watched the first log go on. Well that’s Josh and yep I was right he’s as smooth as they come. Great job Ferrel!
Hey Robbie, You are right, Josh is one of the best. Hope you guys are doing good, haven't seen you in a while. Thanks for watching.
Really great video,the entire ride and shots at the mill being unloaded are great perspectives, and the all natural, squeeks,rattles and engine noise are great.
It is interesting all the different noises the truck and trailer make. Thanks for watching.
Wow, no burnt logs? Good to see some there is some green trees left.

@@FourthOver Yeah, not much bark on them now. One truck went on it's side just before the bar a few days ago.

Love this vid. Looks like you’re coming off Mormon, immigrant? Cool perspectives for your camera placement, back of cab, back trailer.

Enjoy watching log hauling done the way it's ment to be done. Unlike how it's done on the East coast.

I guessing you have that air over hydraulic clutch as well. Where it’s ether on or off.😂 Its interesting to watch your videos knowing what I know now.
Yeah, those clutches are hard to make smooth. I still haven't figured it out. I'll keep trying till I get it right. See you out there, Thanks for watching.
@@FourthOver For sure
