I am John mechanic for Stribling equipment. How do like the L-Series skidder? I performed all the pip’s on them when they first come out at the location I work at. I really enjoy working them. Great videos.
Thomas Johnson it looks nothing like a tigercat huh? I'm pretty sure John Deere has been running straight drive transmissions forever! And all of a sudden they just went away from everything that they have ever built. To build an exact replica of the industry leader! You can blow that smoke up someone else's ass! John Deere is notorious for copying the competition! Why is it that you have a one of a kind saw head? That it's not for sale in the US. I know why,and you do to. ☝💯
Didn’t you learn your lesson in southern loggers when you were put in you place last time? Do you really have that miserable of a life this is all you have to do is jump thread to thread trying to be a huge douche canoe? Enjoy the videos like everyone else or leave, pretty simple, I’m not going to argue with someone who “thinks” they understand stuff they don’t. 😎
50 and 60s trucks were c 60 and 750 Fords , trees were 15 inches to 24 inches ,about 10 trees on a big load ,45 mph, now when you have the equipment most are small trees
You tube always has good comercials when i watch your channel so i let them play for most part great videos better then cable history and discovery channel you do have great channel i love his channel ive ben watching for 3 weeks now
New here so sorry if i am asking an obvious question! Do you just work with thinnings? And i see you have a mix of deere and tigers are you switching brands or just using the best of both? Loving the vids 👍
@@CuttingEdgeLogging_Thomas a track loader with a power calm on it and wheel harvester and forwarder, now like get tigercat's biggest forwarder i would say 2 load's from it would load one of your trucks so like 2 wheel harvesters and forwarder's and one track loader with a power calm would make things go fast
+Danny Bailey he just named off 2.7 million dollars worth of equipment to maybe move 6 loads a day 😳 Even if all our equipment was new, we would still be a million less than that and moving double the wood 🤷🏻♂️
Worked a long time in the log woods and i mis it thanks for the videos the in farmerville now
Thanks for watching!
Very interessting video, what is the advantage of this set up, over a normal prozessor head, mounted directly to the loaders arm?

We love ours so far....we have 3 of them, 2 748 and a 848. No issues so far at 6000 hours.
Tigercat did build a hell of a skidder for John Deere to copy! With the exception of the Mickey mouse grapple.
Looks nothing like the Tigercat 😂
And hour to hour we have less down time with the Deere.
Carry that ish somewhere else 😂

New here so sorry if i am asking an obvious question!
Do you just work with thinnings?
And i see you have a mix of deere and tigers are you switching brands or just using the best of both?
Loving the vids 👍
Just thinning and we use both. Whichever is the best for that particular job.
The addvancements are mind blowing
Definitely!
I was wondering how do you guys know what tree's to cut and not cut ?
Look for the smaller trees, forked trees or crooked trees while leaving an average of 250 stems per acre
have you ever thought about getting a track loader with a grapple processor head, southstar , pierce , waratah make them
Too expensive and too slow for our application

They tried all that years ago down here...production is cut in half with those kinda machines in the smaller pine pulpwood
Get that Canadian horse shit outta here

Great video! And that’s a Good looking Deere hat too. Do you mind if I ask where you got it?
Deere gave it to me on one of my trips testing stuff with them.
Thomas is that the normal age for 1st thinning
In some areas, we normally stay in 14-15 year old timber.
