huge fan man! I build mods for virtual logging simulator equipment, I can't tell you how many hours ive spent studying your videos to get controls and physics of these machines as realistic as possible, thanks again for filming your work!
Hello there cotontop. I would just like to thank you for these kind of videos. It got me ready and more comfortable running a feller buncher for the first time. Now I got a couple months on a 870c tigercat in canada. Love the content you created and keep up the good work. Have a great day.
Great video. I'd love to try operating one of those. I'll never forget the first buncher that I saw as a kid. It was a wheeled drive to tree type. I loved equipment, but didn't know such a thing existed or what it did. I never realized that they had any faster way to cut a tree than with a chainsaw. Then I saw it drive up to a tree and zzzzing! I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing. It just seemed too awesome to be real.
I am a big fan of Cotontop3 and TDK Logging and i have always wanted to know how the cutter works and to get on 1 and never operated it i bet i take 15 minutes to cut 1 tree my hat is off to you and your brother for remembering what all them buttons control. Be safe have a great day
86,000 pounds?...........that's twice as heavy as a CAT D7...........Dayum!!! The learning curve on those controls would be steeeep !! Thanks for posting. Subbed!
Hay Tim I remembered you had this video, I just picked up a 822D, I'm the Operaor, my main doesn't seem to go down fast enough to go out leavel, if I'm cutting close to me it works ok but not perfectly level. Is this the same as yours?
Tim, what's the specific name for the operator's license (ticket) or course for a tracked feller buncher called? There is much information on the subject over here in the United Kingdom, and I want to get some tickets under my belt for a skidder and other machinery as I want to look for work over seas!
cotontop3 so no training at all, just read the manual? I guess from my point of view, if I went a took training and got certified in the United Kingdom then in theroy getting a job doing what you do should be a walk in the woods! Pardon the pun. What's the call for forestry and logging jobs in America Tim? Is career that's easy to get into with plenty of job's or companies, or is not as much and hard to find work in the industry?

+FDR Logging glad u enjoy it!
FDR Logging hi love your vids and mods
Now I have that much more respect for the operators that make cutting with those machines look easy!
Thanks for the great explanation.

thxs for the show an tell I love getting even that much knowledge about how different machines work
That was a cool demo right there! That machine is off the hook awesome.
That's pretty cool lots of things to think about with the controls. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video, as I will get used to your country I operate the same equipment and also proceador Waratah
Excellent video. Guess one needs his finger tips connected to the eyeball and brain at all times. Thanks for sharing
+John Myers you're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

Very informative!
I like the tour
Fascinating to me.
Man i would luv to b ther n try the buncher n 635 out awesome equipment
Man, 90,000 pounds is around 40 metric tonnes.
No wonder those tracks can go down fast.
Thanks for the lesson on the controls.
thanks man. ! great video
Thank you.
+cotontop3 ive never ran one so that was a very educational stay at home field trip for me.

Tim, does the ER function automatically, or do you turn that function on as you prefer?
It's automatic on the 830. The 870 you can turn it on and off.
Great video, thanks! Have you ever ran the processor?
+CarolinaFarmWeld Yes, I have quite a few hours on the processor.
+cotontop3 which would you say is harder to run?
The 830 is trickier to run.
Tim i got a question..
There's another lever in front of the stick/swing joystick.
What is that lever used for?
+Swimmin Thelake that lays the head over left and right.
cotontop3
No, i don't mean the trigger buttons..
I'm talking about that lever the marking band is hanging on??
Swimmin Thelake safety cut out
Is there any way you can convert these from sae to iso control pattern or Visé versa

We don’t have to have a license here.

Experience bud!
how does the saw work? is it a variable speed or off, idle and wide open?
Turn it on and it's wide open.
With the weight of the machine do you need a special move permit from DOT?
+ticky121 Yes, a blanket permit that costs $4,500 per year.
+cotontop3 Is that a 70 ton permit ?
VideosByAl Yes.
Is there a dedicated pump for the saw?
Yes
What size head is on there Tim?
5702 tigercats biggest head. 24"
How many hands do you have to run all these bottons.
Louis Nemick 4,plus both of your feet and all your fingers and toes,just don't whack any of them off
ferry good
what's the difference between the l830c and the lx830c?
Closed loop and open loop hydraulic system.
+cotontop3 gotcha thanks.
You should let me try it pay for my own plane tickets
Never saw how to activate the saw blade...?
Flip saw engage switch, saw blade is fixed unit, way passed the rotosaw days
