I wish the Amish would clean up my grandpas woods as nice as this when their finished. They leave it an absolute mess. Can’t even hunt it for a few years after their done. Which is one of the reasons we alternate cuts. 5 years we’ll do 45 acres and the other 5 we’ll do the rest of the land so it’s not all messed up at once.
get yourself a one inch steel snatchblock for the winch cable. it will double your pulling power. get rid of the end hook . it wont handle the pull. use a one inch clevis. its rated for the pull. you will have to weld a dead head on the skidder. for the double pull.
The ole tj/Deere still gettin er donefor you guys. So is that what you do when you have 2 skidder drivers but only one skidder running put 2 guys in the skidder 😂!
You guys should really try a kinetic energy recovery rope. If that skidder gets some momentum going it help a whole lot. That or get a snatch block for the winch on tje skidder and double the pulling force. Dig the tires in a little and giver hell.
Good video, you know that eye on the tongue of the pup should not move like that. We would run a weld on the front side as well as tighten the nut on the backside. I'm not being critical, just from a safety standpoint it should be tight.
Is there a tree trunk worthy of attaching the skidder winch. Then a second cable sling from back of skidder to truck n trailer. This way you can pull with skidder wheels and winch but of course you need there right trunk and 2nd sling. How long from stopped to independent rolling?
I'm thinking you let him sit there too long before you try to move him and everything set up around them wheels and that's the problem... I can see all that here from Maine very knowledgeable about being stuck lol
Cool video guys. You seem like a laid back crew. Are you in upper michigan? If so where are you out of? Im in west ishpeming. Ive always wanted to work for another logging crew. looks like fun. be safe
Does the DNR keep u from putting down some wood chips, I have seen some people that do that and works very well and u have them right there, also never seen them have to pick them up as they just break down.
if you saw the end of the next video, it showed the big rock that hung up the truck. tough call , stumps & rock can't be seen. that outfit always maxes out all their rigs every load. they ask way too much of their rigs and men. forest roads are made for pick-ups & deer, not 167,000 lb combination units. YOU WILL HAVE LOSS.
Guys almost need like truck mats the are basically gaint wood pallets but i dont know how much a 2×4 built mats would hold up with the weight and just snap because down in southern mich where iam at is alot more rocky and not as much clay but where your at is sand and clay and is just ridiculous get stuck everytime and having to use the skider which is alot of down time not pulling trees up to the slasher or the chipper and cant have a gravel train come in and make a road since that would be a beach and costly for every job sight so i am sure if not you have thought about it and you fathers father and so on and has never thought of a solution thats a beach i gotta give you guys respect to have to deel with that on a everyweek we have mabey have to deel with the same problem in the spring and late fall so to one player of Michigan mud, clay pit that seems to go on forever gg
@@austindenotter19 i know people out of state use them never seen somebody use em in the state of Michigan so i am thinking they can handle a axle on the but when three axles or 4 axles get on one of the mats i am thinking it would break under the wieght of the 3or4 axles
My back hurts just watching you guys sometimes. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do so I can have my 2x4s
Looks like the ol John Deere passed with flying colors after while 👍
Well you got the same winter as in sweden wet, mudy and a lot rain keep on rolling 👍
Love the stuck videos! I know you don't like it though. LOL
You been getting some rain and snow , hope week is goin well otherwise, have a nice jag on truck and pup
You and your crew are GOOD!
Watching you pull on that truck, I think about those videos from over sea where they pull tractors and trucks apart trying to get them out.
Now that was a mission I was even getting frustrated lmao but ya all did a good job
That hitch system is a need setup
Rolling rolling rolling get that trailer rolling
U da man wish I could work with u guys I wood love to work in the woods I miss it
Get r done be safe out there and GOD BLESS you and your family and crew brother Amen 🙏
Nice trucks loads of logs loads of mud nite mere

Super Filme bravo !!!!!!

Good thing the ol deer was there 🍻
That mud is a bad problem.
Sometimes it's hard... and dangerous!
separate truck from trailer , and UNstick , each individually , then reconnect !
The ole tj/Deere still gettin er donefor you guys. So is that what you do when you have 2 skidder drivers but only one skidder running put 2 guys in the skidder 😂!
...And, pulling half the weight! Lol. ToddTRT
When your winching with a grapple skidder could you run the cable through the tongs to help for traction?
You guys should really try a kinetic energy recovery rope. If that skidder gets some momentum going it help a whole lot. That or get a snatch block for the winch on tje skidder and double the pulling force. Dig the tires in a little and giver hell.
I didn't hear u say old timberjunk getting er done...lol
Done it like a boss
Muddy mess there for sure
I am surprised that you do not have Snatch Block for a ParBuckle.
That rock was the problem all the time as the trucks were bellying out on it and got worse the more trucks went over it.
Most the time the winch on deer will brake cable or drag something
Good video, you know that eye on the tongue of the pup should not move like that. We would run a weld on the front side as well as tighten the nut on the backside. I'm not being critical, just from a safety standpoint it should be tight.
What a mess I hate working in Mudd like that
Was that timberjack sick? Would think wheels would spin pulling that heavy and winch would drag her backwards.
Good video. Too cold looking for me
Great team work men an equipment, what do they use the chipped wood for.

It ain’t goin nowhere brother

You guys are making us Michigan guys look bad, drain the trailer tanks, have another skidder pushing, if one available, buy a dozer!
How fast would the cable or something else break if you used the skidder grapple to give a little tug on the cable?...probably would explode instantly
Why don't you guys put down wood mats then the trucks wouldn't be getting stuck
She is stuck now for sure
No mud? Nice.
The ground here is swampy to as much rain we’ve had
Hello, great video! I am looking for a picture of a stuck logging truck. Would it be possible to use a still from from this video?
Does the DNR keep u from putting down some wood chips, I have seen some people that do that and works very well and u have them right there, also never seen them have to pick them up as they just break down.
why didn't you fix that road so no trucks get stuck from the beginning ?
You do know they make aftermarket portable backup cameras
Thats a two skidder job.
👍👍👍👍
If winch was work in it might help
A gas compressor and airlines will fix that trailer issue in a heartbeat:)
How do you keep the breaks off the pup when unattached from Truck so ya can move it
looks like you screwed the air suspension on the tractor. its bottomed out. bet you destroyed the leveling valve.
More than likely it was from bottoming the truck out not pulling out.
It is just purty bud
Standing near a wire rope under that much tension is not a good idea, if it snaps and recoils your body won't even slow it down.
How do they keep the spring brakes from coming on on the trailer??
NEED TO KEEP A DOZER ON THE JOB.
It’s 2 hrs away on another job
Что в америке нет гаджета, который вытаскивает, застрявшую в грязи, машину??
Предёться помантулить, или всё производство встанет))
I'm worried about that cable breaking and whipping back on you
All that wood he's hauling it's a wonder it didn't sink into the ground. How much weight is on there holy cow?
Wouldn't be a normal day without these clowns destroying stuff
Clows??? 😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌
Hey John
someday you guys might learn to build a good road !!
if you saw the end of the next video, it showed the big rock that hung up the truck. tough call , stumps & rock can't be seen. that outfit always maxes out all their rigs every load. they ask way too much of their rigs and men. forest roads are made for pick-ups & deer, not 167,000 lb combination units.

chris marzec you really dont understand logging fella.
💚🌲💚🌲💚
Alright so what is your next skidder likely to be? A new Tigercat or Deere?
Yeah boys. That log truck was mis behaving. How big was that rock
Forwarders. Must be cheaper
What does that load of hardwood loggs weigh?
Prolly 155k lbs
Why don’t you guys double winch line for greater strength
How often do the truckers break drive shafts?
Seen one in 13 years
I sheared one off at the mill a few weeks ago
Rumor as it that red head put a pop knot upside your head. Any truth to it john?
Time to move on
How come you guys don't have ring feeder
Hey brother
detach the trailer and/or unload it.
VBG drag goggle it
Guys almost need like truck mats the are basically gaint wood pallets but i dont know how much a 2×4 built mats would hold up with the weight and just snap because down in southern mich where iam at is alot more rocky and not as much clay but where your at is sand and clay and is just ridiculous get stuck everytime and having to use the skider which is alot of down time not pulling trees up to the slasher or the chipper and cant have a gravel train come in and make a road since that would be a beach and costly for every job sight so i am sure if not you have thought about it and you fathers father and so on and has never thought of a solution thats a beach i gotta give you guys respect to have to deel with that on a everyweek we have mabey have to deel with the same problem in the spring and late fall so to one player of Michigan mud, clay pit that seems to go on forever gg
A lot of guys do have mats for exactly what you are asking about. Also used for bridges in some cases.
@@austindenotter19 i know people out of state use them never seen somebody use em in the state of Michigan so i am thinking they can handle a axle on the but when three axles or 4 axles get on one of the mats i am thinking it would break under the wieght of the 3or4 axles
Got to much weight on the truck
You call that clean ??
Boy she drug bottom all the way out
Hiring??
unload the truck and it will come rite out
Mud sucks
you guys are public screw-ups. why would you let everyone know by putting up videos.
