Skidders are fun but I imagine it grows old. I worked many places where they were used to forward to the landing from the yarder. I didn't run them a lot. Rigger/hillside choker pig for me pretty much always.

Cool. Grapple skidder is like cheating. Everyone should have to pull a nasty ass jaggered up line skidder mainline atleast once in their life. Lol.

I would love that chance.

Nice! I really like that new truck!

 

[MasterBlaster]

It seems like there's more truck than there is bed.

My buddy has just bought a brand new John Deere 548 grapple skidder. Probably about $350k. Great pieces of equipment.

Is he a logger, or landclearer??

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Really Nice rig Brendon. Love it!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Is he a logger, or landclearer??

Both, although the hardwood logging is what is bought for. I dont think landclearing would justify that kind of spend.

 

[cory]

Loads of land clearers in these parts have that very machine!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Maybe a used one..?

I guess we had a little wind while I was away for Turkey day. Here is a Butternut I suggested for removal this Spring. We did it yesterday with the GRCS. I saved $800 on the crane. :thumb up:







It sounds like they will remove what I suggested this winter.

Nice going, Bud. Seems like you've upped your advisor status.

 

[bstewert]

How much damage to the house? It still looks intact.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I love when we can be somewhat prolific... But then you feel bad when it hits the house. Still feels good being right though eh Bud?

Some great shots Joel.... Nice tree to rig down too... Love the looking down the feet shot.. Almost looks you are standing on air.

Good stuff guys

 

[squisher]

I'd like to know if the house was damaged at all too?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice working with the head sets today..
Speed lined one oak. Topped and dropped another... Then fell one with MA from over a wood shed.. Felt good to not have to yell. Much more efficient working with head sets. Also felt good to take trees off buildings before the snow that is coming hits. Been busy the last couple of weeks.

Thanks mang
Work is getting faster and faster... Now we just need one more head set and a self feeding chipper.

Some really nice pics lately, keep it rockin!
I had an easy day buddies bucket would not start so we went and looked at some work three 100 footers (two oaks and a honey of a walnut) on a STEEP slope up hill from a house all within " hey there is a log in my living room" distance, and I loaded up a load of logs for firewood, sold as is.
