Yes liked the Madill too, only one I ever got in and tried to cut with but never would be able to get the speed and precision the northern boys have as companies need the production. Thanks for stopping by, liked a few of your videos.
We find it works best to hook chains on to the tire chains. Some times U have to continue rolling it down hill. A couple times we even used a 3 ton chain hoist to roll a JD 540 back up, with no good machine acess. But like U say always never try to start back up wait a few hours.
+cabotbluegill Yes, it no longer lives with that engine, didn't leave the oils sit after the tip and took the rods out, these machines are work horses but they need respect as you lose a lot more from down time from this than you would giving it a little love, I know money is more, and drive, drive, but I can't operate that way. Really nice to have your comments and great support respect that, appreciate meeting others with same interest and experience in this area.
I have worked in and around equipment all my life I have seen so much of it destroyed due to poor operators and foolish neglect. My skidder was a 1971 timber jack 230D with a 3- 53 Detroit. I bought it in 1987 and had very few break downs my production was far less than most but the money it earned was mine. I would still have it today I believe in repair and rebuild but in the 1990s log prices dropped so bad I had to get a job to see ends meet. I kept it for a while.
Was rough and tough on the machines, yes, you never know, the machine got the worse of it, wrecked the engine, starting it up not letting the oil run back down, etc. but glad no injuries.
They had a winch but they had broken it, same one that turned the skidder, but as you can see the dozer driver did not even hold the skidder steady until it was upright he just backed away. I am no expert in these matters but a different approach may have been better.
+Alan Adams They were cutting in dead pine patch and percentage of hardwood was taken by the crew..I was just on my way by when I had a chance to take the clip to share..its goid to have people participate..hope you watched all the video and my comments.

Blade wasn't down to stop the rollover, was ither a complacent operator or a rookie
the winch on the dozer didn't work? or they not know how to use it

+Alan Adams Probably would have been easier.
Hook the damn chain on the back tire chain and pull ! Skidders flip it's not that big of a deal the ground isn't even that bad
It don't take all that just some chains really
wow.....
I would fire the dozer operator
I thought I was watching Axe Men :)
+Dean O lol..sometimes you never know what will happen on a trip out, good show, thanks.
Doubt you'd see a buncher operator moving around with his door open work safe would have a field day
