Its gorgious man i love it light years ahead of any skider i ran and ive ran a few ive ran timberjacks and clark franklin but i thought the 460 was nice i ran nope this thing is like riding in a car of corse i think they all need a wench
@@mikehd3904 We tried a tigercat skidder we wasn’t getting the loads that we usually did and the transmission didn’t hold up. We’re also in an area on the Kentucky and Tennessee line that there’s no support anywhere near by.
@@daltonhorton3366 ya service is a big thing. I'm in BC Canada, but my opinion with some years experience, tigercat and JD both make better logging equipment, cat should stick to dozers haha 👍
@@mikehd3904 We have plenty of JD tractors and farm equipment and I’ve actually not put the L or L2s to the test myself I’m on the R and D board for JD though and we’ve not seen the wiring harness issues, and DEF problems in our 555Ds and 545D as we’ve had many discussions on the JD R and D board. I really enjoy talking about and researching different machines.
@@daltonhorton3366 ya were 90% forestry here, couple farms close but not many, most are tigercat bunchers, skidders and loaders, do u wanna see a cool video,here in bc, bunching with tigercats? Is a great video
Good luck with it . But sooner or later your going to need a winch. Hopefully its set up to put one on without big investment . Nice machine for a cat its not right color
@Flash Man idk I recently got on a 2017 630E tigercat 5500 hrs I'm trying to get a H now lol They all have pros and cons My 545 D didn't have the turnaround seat and cheap and beat me to death for 6500 hrs
Bet there will be a winch added to it before long. Nice looking addition to the woods . Keep up the great videos
Nothing like new iron. Thanks for the video Mr John.

Cat is the way to go especially in steep rough ground like what we have here in Southwest Virginia. We have a 545D and 555D.
Real trees and steep ground for 10 years , only used a cat few times, tigercat is waaay better

NICE!! The “new” guy stuck in the mud recently gettin that? Lol
Nice rig
I would like to tryout one of those Toys
now does the seat turn around like tigercat and johndeere skidder's have been the last few years
Ótima skid
Spiffy!!!
Good luck with it . But sooner or later your going to need a winch. Hopefully its set up to put one on without big investment . Nice machine for a cat its not right color
Nice. How many skidders and chipppers you guys have?
I wonder what the cab will look like with 15 years out in the woods
NO Winch , Take it back. Got to have a Winch !!!
10 years skiddn without !!
@@mikehd3904 NO
What's the Hp of that 545 John ?
Come to the weiler plant for a tour we have some new updated features
Email me at thatchipperguy@gmail.com
How is it so quiet?
Hey if yall goin with the turn around seat why not go with the real deal skidder..the tigercat I can promise you wont be disappointed!!!
Absolutely Jared. Tcat is waaay better, skidded both and cat junk
Still looks like there is not enough room in the cab. The Cat is good but JDeere and Tigercat have them beat on that aspect.
@Flash Man idk I recently got on a 2017 630E tigercat 5500 hrs

They all have pros and cons

Impressive machine tho
Have you ever tried Tigercat?
Yep, 10 years in one and sure wouldn't trade it for ANY cat
Nice of Josh to pay ya....lol
How close did the floods come to your home?
20 miles
?Happy you all are safe and why nothing new on the chipper bunch channel
I know a guy looking for work that would love to drive it
Hey brother
I still like the older 545C better
At 7:10 you should have changed it from English to metric, shut the machine off and gone home just to have a little fun with the next guy :)
😆
No winch? May as well not have an engine
Wtf man, I skidded 10 years without a winch, just learn hiw to skid and u don't need it!
No winch, no way!
It's not the 80's dude, I've skidded 10 years with a winch and NEVER had a problem not having it
HARD TO SEE OUT OF.
And needs a football field to turn around, junk!
Park that next to a 635 than you’ll be talking
Trade it for tigercat ! Cat should stick to dozers, cat skidders are junk ,just like cat bunchers
