  • In 2017, a Red Pine tree plantation in Northern Maine was diagnosed as having two diseases: Sirococcus Shoot Blight and Diplodia Tip Blight. To salvage the trees, a lumbering contractor was asked to remove the trees as well as prepare the land for replanting. This video shows the process of removing trees as well as showing the different steps in the tree harvesting process.

    A word of warning: if you decide to play a drinking game where you take a shot every time the narrator says the word 'bunches', you WILL die unless you're full-blooded Russian or Irish.

      Personally I would go for a 'TigerCat' Feller Buncher, - I always think the JD copy is the 'Poor Mans' version, - although neither are cheap.

    Sadly this situation exposes the tremendous waste associated with government bureaucracies. The initial placement of the trees was totally inappropriate and lead to the problems that required the removal of all of the trees. Let's begin with the initial planting... and the problems associated with it. For this type of pine tree, the optimal density is 100 to 200 trees per acre. The planting that was used was well over this density. Planting with this excessive density has 3 potential problems. 1st was the obvious result of blight which will kill all of the trees. 2nd is insect infestation. And last is the tremendous fire hazard. (With most pine trees a density over 100 trees per acre creates a severe fire hazard that is impossible to extinguish because the fire progresses in the tree tops. Finally was the absurd amount of effort for a landowner to harvest the land that he/she owns. Why should the owner seek government approval to care for his/her property??? (This is an addition to the reality that government so-called "experts" were probably involved in the initial failure to plant with the proper density which caused the problem in the 1st place!)

      Idk, I don't really see the owner of the place wanting to plant less trees and the government telling him "no, you have to throw more in there".

    What people don't understand the old growth has to be cut because of the high danger of forest fire s that can destroy a large amount of timber so replant is better of all

  • @oldtimerf7602
    @oldtimerf7602 Před 3 lety +4

    Ok.
    It's called logging, or timber harvesting. Not lumbering. That term went out 75 years ago.
    The saw cuts while the arms grab a split second after the cut is started.
    The blade spins at roughly 1,000 revolutions per minute, not 6,000.

    The specified saw blade speed ranges between 1150 to 1250. It'd be according to manufacture specs.

    they cant seem to make there minds up about the blade speed , one says 120000 an then its gone down to 6000 , i reckon its more like 1200------2000, revs ye !!!

    Planting red pine is like planting poverty. It's damn near worthless to the landowner.
    Better off planting poplar. Grows 3x faster and is worth about the same.

    Edit: I wrote the above comment before I finished the video, the way the commentator wraps up the video makes me think a second grader wrote the entire script.

    The first grade teacher: (should say "See the duck, See the dog")...number one: chains on skidder tires do not stop tires from being damaged. Number two: A tiger cat 234 will save a lot of time taking limbs off trees, cut the tops off, cut the trees to a certain length, weigh the load and load a trailer at the same time. Total waste of time doing this procedure the way it is presented in this presentation.
