I agree with your comment.. Im a logger to an about 78% of people that talks down don't know what it really takes to log an probably will never know or understand
Well big fan fair play 2 u and well done. I’m Irish so it’s nice 2 c how the Americans do things and everyone dose it differently. I’ve tryed a few different things that I have seen you do and it’s been a grate help thank you keep up the good work
You obviously know what you’re doing. Cutters, like a lot of proud construction workers who take seriously what they do, think that anyone who does it differently than them is wrong or stupid. I’ve learned a lot from watching you already. So thanks.
Your welcome, I don’t think others are wrong or stupid. I just am not going to argue with anyone. I’m here for a good time not negativity. I’m glad you enjoy the channel.
You know the saying :" You win some , lose some..." No scanners yet to see what`s beneath then bark... It`s great how You explain what & how You do it and why - You are a patient and calculated man - i think You would be a great teacher or a guy to learn from - too bad i`m a few thousand miles too far... Glad to see Your channel is growing pretty fast - You really work hard for it and have a great content. Keep it up !
Glad your enjoying the content. I’m trying to grow the channel, it’s a a lot of work to keep up with everything and run the logging company. Always appreciate the comments!!!!
That is a sharp chain and one great skidder. I'm currently running a similar machine. 76 230 e. Lots of power for hardwood loggin and barely makes a rut if youre cuttin at the right time. Very inpressive work. I wish mine had the brakes yours does lol
I love your Timberjack. How old is it? I drove one for about six months until I couldn't deal with the boss/owner of the company. One day I hauled a jag of logs out and couldn't shut the engine off. I put in high gear and pushed agains the log pile until it stalled. I ended up going to a GM dealership and got a new injector and fuel filter. I started to pull the bad injector#2 out and he kept telling me I didn't know what I was doing. After I got the injector installed and timed I moved on to the fule filter. It was the cleanest filter I've ever saw! Why? Because it didn't exist. He mumbled something about it wasn't getting fuel so he took out the filter and didn't replace it. When I was in the US Navy I was an EN 1 and I worked on 271s, 671s, and 6110s.
That's cool that you have the Humility to show your mistakes, which in turn helps a lot of people out there in the You Tube world. Also your willing to explain your mistakes to help everyone watching not to make the same mistakes. Good Stuff Good Fellers!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
All the loggers that ive talked to here in north east pa work alone ....i was trying to get a job but found nothing worth my time ..great video as always
@Good.Fellers yup I hire a climber now and then but can't find anybody that's sober and will get outta bed ....I fell trees on the side till it takes off I'm an operator in a quarry ...thanks for the fast reply
I’m just happy to see a logger with a saddle n hooks to set a line….climbin up the arch is way more dangerous….👊🏻….💪🏻good job ol buddy…I’ve done all phases of tree work from powerline,gas,phone, mostly residential climbing and loggin n firewood…here in eastern Ky…names matt…be safe
Nice looking log, a cable skidder and a chain saw, that's how I did it. I was the same way about limping a tree, took my time, made sure a limb wouldn't get me, and I had good footing. , I just subscribed to your channel, look forward to your videos, hello frome Maine
I always say when in doubt rope it out...just argued with a HOMEOWNER guy who didn't want my advice ..it's always a great thing when you don't break something or get a claim..amen stay safe
With you considering and calculating what it takes to get an individual tree on the ground as best as possible makes any criticisms mute. You rarely use the word "should", you speak from successful results.
I have a customer that has absolutely HUGE HUGE WHITE OAKS..I took pictures standing with my arms out stretched and dwarf me..side to side..😮he has dozens there super old maybe civil war age ..we took a red oak out.and trimmed limbs woth bucket truck..60ft was not half way up..
I saw you were able to cut a half-circle to trim that butt. Do you use square ground chain for that, or was the wood just thin there? How did you do that? Great video, keep 'em coming!
Pallet logs depend on our location from mill. Most of the time trucking costs out weigh the pallet log price. I know guys that chase it but at the end of the day you make more sticking to high grade logs. Also you can pay the landowner more if you maximize your valuable time on a job as opposed to fighting for scraps. Now if I’m in Michigan and there’s 100 1000 foot cottonwoods in about 4 acres then I’ll slam em down. Trucking ultra cheap there and we have good markets for them.
LOVE your videos. The only suggestion is; North, South, East West...........those directions are lost in the video. Right and left I can relate to. If your felling method works for you keep at it. It's nobody's business............except those that like to find fault. Dave
I’ve got a ol 394 I had rich Dougan build bout 10yr ago and brother it’s dangerous….it’ll destroy my new 395..064…460..and hang with new 880….hope to port 880 someday
Yes sir every tree is different..to many guys think a standard applys to different sinerios..and just judging what's in front of them at that moment..I messed up last week ..should have cut that tree different because the help I had was unable to compensate..my fault should have known
I live in SE Missouri, with several sawmills within several miles of me. I also have a black walnut tree that's leaning precariously towards my garage. I had an arborist top it, trying to save it, but the lean continues to worsen. I want it felled and to sell it. How should I approach these sawmills in order to sell that timber, or should I try someone else?
What's wrong with it??? 😢it's out of gas umm hmmm..had to say it..😂..I've noticed woth auto tune and mtronic saws when they get low on fuel I've had them just die even though there's still 1/8 tank left ..they eat gas my 500i goes threw a tank in blink of an eye..it's unreal
@@Good.Fellers I've heard of those early 592 s haveing kinked gas hose up by intake ...it was defect they made ..Donnie walker does a video on how to remedie that issue...thanks
Really appreciate the way you explain why you do certain things as it helps us all learn and stay safe! Looks like some poison ivy or such on that tree. What do you do to keep from breaking out, or are you not bothered by it? Thanks.
Glad you enjoy the vids.I used to get it bad but don’t anymore for the most part. With that being said sunburn kills it on my experience, so if I get a touch I try to get a sun burn. I also take ultra hot showers if I feel it coming on and that seams to help.
New Subscriber to your Channel. That was quite a White Oak you Cut. Beautiful Job on your Part. I am 71years Old and love Working with Chainsaws and Felling and Cutting Firewood. I have a Stihl Farm Boss, and I am Looking at a Husquvarna 572xp, or the 1 you have 592xp. I am currently cutting up Locust, both Honey and Black. My Name is Ron, and now that I am Subscribed to your Channel I will keeping up to date on your Great Work. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
Glad to have you Ron. I appreciate your kind comment. 572 is awesome but a bit small for my work. 592 is a killer saw and so is the old 395. I heat my house and garage with wood and love to burn black locust when I can.
Plus you should make PTO driven pencil sharpener for the rear of the skitter just drive it right into the tree to show up the end instead of Sawing them
Man learning how to grade a log has been my biggest challenge yet. Yeah I know when it’s good or bad but being able to tell between a veneer or lumber log it confuses me lol
Another awesome video. Glad to see i aint the only one that gets the sudden pinch. Its great to hear you explain the footage we spur cutters are trying to make up in the midwest hardwoods. The oak def looked like there was something with the ground there. Hope it still brings you a good price. Keep up the great work. Look forward to your videos. Stay safe man.
I Helped a firewood cutter gather firewood for his clients. And he had more tricks up his sleeves for making logs move the way he wanted . I learned a lot. Its amazing what you can do with a wire rope choker, 1 ton Flat Bed w/firewood box & V8. He told me about breaking stuff in his earlier years when he was in a hurry. In his end game years he only used enough power to do the job, and his equipment lasted longer. Break downs cost money & time which you never have enough of.
just curious if you could explain why you seem to go for an inch or two stump shot instead of a level back cut thanks man. also in depth skidder video would be sweet maybe touch on maintainance operating etc also how you sell your logs haha keepm comin
I’ll definitely do some skidder vids. I can touch on tree cutting for sure. Log selling is a complex subject but I will definitely talk some on that in the future.
Subbed and watched the whole video. Professional climbers knew two seconds into the video you’re not a pro climber. The best advice I was ever given was to not to walk in gaffs. At most 1 or two steps. But put them on and take them off at the base of what you are climbing
Love this. I’ve been anxious for this all weekend. Thank you.
Awesome!
Glad you enjoy it, had problem uploading or it would have been out yesterday.
I can’t imagine how much that tree weighs, it’s nuts that you can make it fall that far from where it was leaning. Bravo
Hey thank you!!!
I pretty sure the people who criticise you are not tree cutters, great video look forward to your next one.
Awesome, I appreciate your words.
I agree with your comment.. Im a logger to an about 78% of people that talks down don't know what it really takes to log an probably will never know or understand

Running stihl x cut
That’s similar to stihl 33rs
Not a square grind chain, just a lot of experience on a saw.
Pallet lumber? Railroad ties? Dry rot can be frustrating for sure.

If it’s tall and straight and over 20” inches diameter you may want to call a saw mill. But from what you described I think it’s a trees service job.
I get alot of old white oaks here like that ..bugs and bad soil ..they get funky...
Yeah it’s all part of it
What's wrong with it??? 😢it's out of gas umm hmmm..had to say it..😂..I've noticed woth auto tune and mtronic saws when they get low on fuel I've had them just die even though there's still 1/8 tank left ..they eat gas my 500i goes threw a tank in blink of an eye..it's unreal
It was a hose issue

Gotta know your markets or it’s hard to make money.
Just subscribed to you been watching a few of your videos over a couple weeks decided better sub to you have a great rest of your week
Awesome! Glad to have ya on the team!
What type of axe you using?
It’s a old head we put in a new handle. I’m not sure the maker but I’ll check and find out if it’s stamped. I love that axe though.
I like it..slick lookin
@bobbylooney7516 thank you!

Wondering how much you will get for a tree like that at the mill
Marketing logs is a serious business. I can’t disclose dollar amounts of timber publicly.
People know it's wrong to ask certain privacy questions...but why do they still ask???I'm curious about that.
Bad manners
Where are you located at an I like most of your videos
