I like my Deere's but that tigercat loader and skidder were built right. Thanks Wade for sharing.
great video Wade that's a beast of a skidder be safe and have a blessed labor day weekend !
Wade, I’ve been around and run logging equipment all my life and Tiger Cat is by far the best there is in the woods. They build there equipment with the owners and operators in mind for sure. They cost a little more but my Dad always said you get what you pay for.
That’s a nice operation! Could definitely move some logs with that thing! I like the skidder too!
Baddest loader ever built! Love the loader and the grapple but those short metal lines on the grapple cylinders are a pain in the ass. God forbid the little small mounting bracket breaks you can't keep the lines tight! Tigarcats biggest flaw on all their cylinders are those Steele lines
Very nice operation and nice equipment can process a lot of timber quickly
That was an impressive landing. Nice and neat. I would like to see the chipper in action. Those Tigercats look like a well built machine. There is an operation here and they drag the trees to the landing, but they process it at the landing. Then they run the slash through a Bandit grinder and sell the ground material to a biomass plant.
Like a mama cat gently moving her kittens around. Talk about a smooth operator. I bet he could dial up the ole lady with that grapple.
That’s a nice set up there talking about production that’s called get er done 👍👍👍
Not knocking other brands of equipment...but tigercat is by far the best..just my opinion...but seems like wade agrees with me and of course we already know how stevey feels about it lol...great video wade as usual..continue to be blessed and stay safe
Great vidja Wade. Very nice logging outfit. Gotta keep that equipment moving for sure. You could use that skidder. Stevy would never shut it off. Lol. Later
Now that’s my kind of logging there Wade, hell yea! Stroking that pine baby!
Peterson grinder with the flail debarker on its own tracks, hat a nice set up, looks like something we have round here buddy
Grease nipples on a door hinge says a lot about a piece of equipment. However, when you leave so little stones unturned, it also says a lot about the price tag. Probably worth it in the long run.
Love the vidjas and so does my 4yo! She said you need to make more with eva though...lol. stay safe out there guys!
That would make a great wedding anniversary present!
Real nice setup. I have never seen a slasher setup with delimber like that but it works slick.
We have a t250d as well along with 2 234b trailer mounts. that 250 comes in very handy in wet spots and in using the tag along to get extra wood ahead. also beats the heck out the trailer mount feeding chipper.
That guy was a smooth operator. Definitely has put time in the seat
A few operators can use em, others just abuse em. Then there are lots that just don't have a clue. I got trained on 360 deg excavators and the instructor was a 7ft tall 6ft wide Irish man, who told us once the second time came with a clout around the ear with his size 16 hand. You didn't need no third time telling, when you pulled a trench the bottom had to be real smooth, the muck had to be landed 2 yards back from the top of the trench, and more if the trench was more than chest depth no ifs or butts.
Real nice machines Tater!
Ooooooh, THE CLAW! Nice!!!
Very nice operation. Nice loader. The slasher didn't seem to work as well as I think it should though. The buncher guy could improve on the flared butts too. Lol
Have you ever ran a wheel cutter? It's a ruff ride with low stumps! If he cut the trees up above the bells the stumps would be 2 feet high! And where this juniper grows the ground is soft. You got to do what your going to the first time or tear the ground all to hell. Alot different than pine logging
Stevey going to love this video lol
Thats just what you need Logger Wade !!!!!!!!!!!
Slick operation!
i need one of them !
That Peterson grinder is built about ten miles from me here in Oregon
Interesting technique on the slasher.
Now I'm no longer but I like how simple and to the point the engineering is easy to access panels up and down very scookum indeed
Hate that dam spell check I was so worried about scookum I didn't see logger was rong just embaricing and I can't spell that eather I hate for your viewers to read this im sorry Wade
😎 tigercat !!
looks like tigercat is the way to go...
A present for Mother is it Wade.
Time to upgrade Wade.
Thats purdyful
damn fine loader hand
Muito top, que um dia eu tenha a oportunidade de aprender também a trabalhar com essas belezinhas😎❤️
Nice skills
Good vidja right there. How bout posting some of ya'll and alls high production slashing?
What does your crew think of the 5900 chipper? I’m running one at the moment and after coming from a 5000H I must say I’m not a fan
Nice vjda logger wade
Some white pine ain’t it Wade? We have that nice big beautiful loblolly pine here thow
How many ton will the tiger cat skidder drag ???
From the looks of it the tigercat equipment really is made top notch. Even from a preventive maintenance stance which is shocking. But the real question is does it come with anti-seize on the bolts??
Hot dang that Tiger Kitty oughta get em out the woods no problemo
Ah MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be safe
Wade, bout time you get them Werner boys on video, lol
MSH oh I would love to they an awesome bunch... Luke said come out and run the boggie a little bit and record it
OFFLEY NICE EQ FOR CUTTING PINE.
If you get one of them grapples least then you can say you own something tigercat!!!! Lol
oh u in a Tigercat oh stevey is going to be jealous now
They should make the log boob swivel side to side like a back hoe or rotator truck with wench combo for up hear in mass vt and NH where its all rocky granit hills it would help to counter balence the grapples are nice but up hear its not always best because your eather on cliff face or in mudy bottomless soft ground realy only hear and their is grapple any good but when u can use it its so dam nice not hallft to hook every log
"Luuuuke.... I'm your father......"
JK!
All that pine. Izzat up in Brown County? I hear it's pretty... "Piney".
This is a That Chipper Guy's operation twin.
jbmbanter yeah that slasher is just like what That chipper guy has. That setup definitely moves a lot of wood.
I was impressed at how the operator took long logs and basically made a bundle out of them before he picked all of them up and moved them to the pile.
Hey driver don’t you be telling Stevie about the kitty cat grapple ,he will sook and spit the dummy,tiger cat tiger this and tiger cat that ,I can hear him now.bam! Any way as always stay safe ,cheers and beers from Aus
Sure is nice to see something that is designed for the mechanic. I have a recurring dream where I walk into a bar that is filled with the engineers that design cars and equipment. I lock the door and smash their heads together until they think about the poor bastard that has to work on their design.
Its not just Construction type machinery that's like that. Boiler rooms seem to be designed while the engineers are laughing hysterically at the poor sucker that has to fix them.
Very nice! When are you going to get with the times? Better step up your game Tater!
Hey Wade cool video, is the guy your riding with the owner/operator of the equipment?
lots of money in machines sitting there
Super kitty on the way?
🌲🚛
I’ve never seen pine trees like that where your at. I thought those were more of a northern or north western tree.
Tiger Cat is by far the best logging equipment made, John Deere and Cat has nothing on a Tiger Cat. Tiger Cat has the best cutters, skidders and loaders I’ve ever ran, you’ll never want to run anything else.
im proud to say that tigercat is canadian made lol
It looks like they kinda copied the Prentice grapple design. I'd say they used better steel to built that tho.
You all need a grinder and make that much more money lol
Big Momma would WAY out perform that guy 😂
selective hearing loss, be careful dad
Nothing runs like a Deere with a cat on it's ass
NEW BLUE GRINDER NOT DOING MUCH WORK .
John deer are the best and will all ways be the best ....
Nifty toys....for boys....er, ah ...men!!!!!!!! ....13
I bet those boys keep the trucks rolling! Awesome video Mr Wade. Thanks.
