We did not have any log trucking experience when we started out. It was pretty funny. First thing we did was release the wrong lever and the entire trailer just Fell off the back of the truck into the ground. I love it.

Wow, such a cool video, reminds me of running my grandpa’s old 67 Kenworth LW it had a self loader , and pole trailer, I had a lot of fun running that truck back in the early 90s , my grandpa had a login company, Chilliwack BC, for 65 years Fraser Valley . Had my grandpa had 12 Kenworth LW 924 and 923s the 923 all had Cummins 400 big cams , the 924 is all had 3408 cats all trucks started their life with a five and four
I’m digging it. Old iron alone in the woods. Nice wood you got too, I’d love to do something like this, Sitka so I think that’s in Alaska. Sweetest place. And love Alaska visiting from the Yukon as a kid
I worked on, rebuilt self loaders out at Thorne bay alaska in the early seventies.... lots of oil everywhere and machines put to the test many time. Lots of 7018 holding them together. I also worked on and drove one in Ketchan during the seventies for man named Stretch Chatham. Those out at Thorne Bay were those Pacific or Heyes log trucks so those loaders were massive in size. Best tool since pockets on shirts
Hey That is Great. I have had to weld and add new steel onto our loader a number of times. We have actually been super succesful with those welding repairs, stopping cracks. I have not heard the name Stretch Chatham before. I am going to ask around a bit. These older trucks are just incredible machines. Thank You for Commenting Buddy Yes - I am just on this basically zero traffic logging road, and I drive about 10 miles per hour. So I just set the logs on and go down the mountain.

you're a lot better at shifting than some guys I've seen. You don't need to start with the auxiliary box in first very often, and definitely not empty. You'll get the hang of it really fast. It just splits the gears on the main box. I usually always started with it in second, and didn't shift it through the first couple gears. Depending on weight and grade. The trick is you're try to keep the rpm in operating range at all times. With a Detroit it's 1850 to 2150. At all times.

How do you guys go about getting the timber? Is the land leased and harvested or are you owners? Here in GA we have large pine plantations that they'll come through and clear cut.
We mostly do Forest Service Timber Sales, in the Tongass National Forest. Super Small, selective cut timber sales. Occasionally we harvest personal use for people, which is cool. Every alaska resident gets 10,000 bf of trees for personal use.
@@jliketheletter637 I think it is 64. I need to finally settle it. To be honest I think I go back and forth on my mind, lol. I will get a date on it. I have always wondered.
On this road system. It is remote, not connected to any other roads. So - You cannot shoot on, or across the road. But you can step out of the truck, just off the side of the road, and that is fine. I get a few of my families deer each year just by watching out in the meadows, and stepping out the door of this log truck.

Just a couple of things. I wish you had cleaned the leaves off the bonnet and tidied up the butts. That would hide the fact that you undercut the scarf on both trees 😂
Just shift the main box when starting out empty!!
That is how my Dad does it.
I have been practicing running through all the gears. I really enjoy it.
Thank you for the Tip! Please comment and keep those tips coming, I need all the help I can get.

Why don't you dress the cut ends of your logs i.e. the flares and the tear wood?
Well
I always haul them just like this. Then a lot of that will be dressed in the yard.
I do actually have a reason -
The logs like to slide back, off the truck mounted bunk. If I put logs with the flare ahead of the bunk, they never slide back.

Try shifting at a lower rpm in your lower gears.
No strapping down loads or did I miss that
@@timschmidt9714
No
I am only going about 10 miles an hour, for 3-4 miles
So I just set the logs on there, and take it easy on the way down.
Hello from northern MI! i'm surprised you didn't have to chain down the logs?
I think he just driv through the woods maybe on a main road he would chain them
Yes -
I am just on this basically zero traffic logging road, and I drive about 10 miles per hour.
So I just set the logs on and go down the mountain. They just sit on there.

Get those rpm's up for shifting Boi!🤪
What would a load like that be worth ?
We don’t got trees that big here Florida
I wonder if there were huge trees there back in the day. Like Giant Cedars.
These are about 250-300 Years old. So not ancient by our standards where i am from, just old.

You didn’t watch long enough you fool. He definitely showed the beautiful truck.
@@secondgrowthhomesyou definitely showed the truck. This dummy didn’t watch long enough.
@secondgrowthhomes 19:28 you did show the truck! Awesome
Chill out grumpy Gus
How do you guys go about getting the timber? Is the land leased and harvested or are you owners?
Here in GA we have large pine plantations that they'll come through and clear cut.
Small, selective cut timber sales, free use permits, hazard trees, dead and down, etc...
We mostly do Forest Service Timber Sales, in the Tongass National Forest. Super Small, selective cut timber sales.
Occasionally we harvest personal use for people, which is cool. Every alaska resident gets 10,000 bf of trees for personal use.
64 or 74. Heading says 74 but I m sure you 64. Great videos
@@jliketheletter637
I think it is 64.
I need to finally settle it.
To be honest I think I go back and forth on my mind, lol.
I will get a date on it. I have always wondered.
Wouldn't have that dash in the 60s. 1974 is probably right
@@ronaldhills8646 Door handles were a different style too i think, on the peterbilt they were.
He would be a 1974 W900A
Is buddy suggesting, he shoots deer from his truck....
I know it's a logging road but still..
On this road system. It is remote, not connected to any other roads.
So -
You cannot shoot on, or across the road.
But you can step out of the truck, just off the side of the road, and that is fine.
I get a few of my families deer each year just by watching out in the meadows, and stepping out the door of this log truck.

Thank You!
Videoing while driving probably didn't help gear changing either!
Dnt have a clue what your doing with a set of boxes... Better get a automatic lol
Thanks Jim!
I always get to where I am going.
He got you there @jimthiel478
Obviously this guy has no idea what he's doing.
Do you drive truck?
I am not a truck driver!
But I haul about 25 loads per season with this same truck - 15+ years of it - I always get where I am going.
I have been practicing the shifting, getting better at it!
