Listen to this truck and road grader working together to get out of the ditch.
started begging my grandfather at 14 every chance I got to get on the backhoe or the loader or the dozer by the time I was 16 was working for him 10 of the best years of my life we had that kind of connection he would just have to look at me and I would know he wanted the grade up if I was grading or little deeper on a dig miss those days your a lucky man god bless
Nothing better than some quality father son time together. Enjoyed the video Timmy.
I love watching heavy machine operations having been a heavy machine operator as was my father who had tickets to many machines from steam face shovels to heavy swamp dozers to heavy draglines He did a lot of canals in the fifths and sixtys .I guess machines are in my blood love your work stay safe
That was fucking bad ass when he pulled that semi out. Good job Tim.
Those roads look really slick
This brings back memories,I actually know a little bit about how to operate a JD770A.The reason why is when I was a kid the county had two of them they used to maintain the roads where I lived.The road we lived on was about 4 miles long and dirt the whole way.
The Grader operator was a man named Mr Hubert.I and my neighborhood friends were all about 8 or 10 at the time and everytime we heard the Grader coming we would run out to met it. Mr Hubert would stop the machine and let us kids ride in the cab with him and over a couple years he showed us all he knew about how to run that Grader,plus he had some company it what was probably a boring job.
I'll always remember him and that machine,it was the neatest thing that he took the time with us.
Neat story. It's too bad, that there aren't many who will/can take the time to do that anymore.
Great video as always. Ain’t nothing better than dealing with things with your Dad, memories. Take care buddy!
I think it's so cool we have a tool like you tube were we can watch good videos of people and machine's working together and u doing what u love. I've always enjoyed running equipment it's a way of life.
When you work together for some time, each knows what each is thinking and needing to do, it's called "team work" for a reason. Some people have it, some don't unfortunately. Another great video, cheers :)
I chuckled watching you bounce around driving down that old bumpy county road in that grader. Funny stuff.
I worked with my Dad for many years. It's a very special thing to be able to do.
Somebody who knows what they doing. Look at that synchronization between minds and machine. All hail cotontop and crew.
"It helps when you talk to these machines..." Like golf, Lee Trevino said,"You can talk to a slice, but a hook won't listen."
Its a great thing when you can work beside your dad all day! My wife gets mad when she is working around my dad and i, we communicate with out talking! She feels like shes being left out! Lol
Tim driving that grader at 29 must feel like your going a 100!
I enjoy you and your family, adventures and talent. Great video thank you
Hey Tim, one operator to another a trick I found helped me out many times pulling on water trucks or scrapers. When the road grader starts to spin I would articulate back and forth. Made a huge difference in traction. Again thanks for the great videos...
Awesome video once again. Really enjoy watching you from New Zealand
I would have not guessed when I was in heavy equipment school a grader would pull a loaded semi nice video
Great video Tim. I enjoy watching you and your dad getting it done. Keep em coming.
Great video Mr Tim. Bring back memories of logging with my Dad. Yes there is a art to pulling log trucks. Lots to do all at once.
Always sharing knowledge. Thanks and keep the videos going.
Thank you for taking the time to film, I’m sure it’s a PITA when your working, I sure enjoy it though!
Me and my daughter love watching your videos. We live at the bottom of dugdown mountain outside of Polk County. We see a lot of logging trucks and we watch your videos to see what goes into what it takes to load them. So thanks again from autumn and her dad "cofer" that's me by the way....Lol
Very cool Tim as always best wishes to you all
loved it ..great show. Lived most of my life in the woods. thank you.
Have a great day Tim. Sunshine needed here too.. Take Care
Definitely need to get that switch looked at. Probably wouldn't of had any problems pulling that truck if the front wheels were locked in. I'd imagine even doing any type of grading would be extremely difficult as well.
Hey thanks for the grader shots! Boy its soft out there
Pulling trucks is an art!
That is true!
Man that grader can move had wings it could fly Tim outstanding video
Certainly pulled a good load see ya Napa Mike
years ago when I was driving a tow truck I got called out to tow a grader out of the mud. Some guys had borrowed the local councils grader to do their own drive and got stuck. I was called in to get it out before the county foreman got back to his office and noticed it missing. I broke the tow cable twice trying to get it out using a three sheave snatch block...ha ha . used a D 9 to push it out in the end.
Having family in the business is a good thing, makes working together more interesting! even if its harder to fire them haha.
Good video man like the equipment!
You r a great son!
Great Video Tim: As my Pop used to Say: Come on out Mr. Sun & Mr. Wind & Work together to dry things out, cause I need to go back to work. Mack
Snotty road there, nice save
Great team work there Tim, it sure does demonstrate clearly that you pair have been there and done that a time or two!
You two have done that before. Great coordination!
Good stuff, enjoyed that!!
That was a good job getting the truck out without any damage
As usual Tim, excellent video. Congrats on 40k+ subscribers. The sky's the limit.
Now that's some good stuff man thanks for the video keep them coming
Great video lesst ya have the ability to get trucks out with grader be safe
I used run a Cat 16 Blade back in the 70's its a BIG machine. I was completely surprised when you got out of your Blade and you slide the Control unit forward on it. I didn't know that they did that. Progress. That is cool.
Very cool video tim I enjoy watching it is so wet right now we have had 23 inch of rain in 15 days
Great video Tim!
You're driving what you need to dry that road up with...a dozer won't dry up a road but a grader will..2 hours of sunlight and 4 passes..you should see dust coming off the road...and it should set up like a rock with that red clay...
Good video
Love your videos brother! Keep doing what you do!
good show big fella
Great video tim 👍🏻📺
Great video. You should have asked your Dad for his triple A card 😂😂😂. That’s good stuff that grader has got some power. Some awesome camera angles 👍
Hi Cottontop, I'm a new subscriber thanks to WTFarm Girl. On this video it was a little intense. It made you think like you were a snow plower keeping the roads clear of mud LOL. I didn't think that grader was going to get that truck out, I thought it was going to be a big project.
Thank you
Boy you aren't kidding , that's some greasy stuff .
Y’all need a good military 6x6 truck to forward them loaded trailers out to the good roads when you have conditions like this. Some of them have big Tulsa winches on them that can pull just about anything out.
That was a nice pull there man articulate left to right with the pull helps a lot cool video
That road looks great compared to one we use in Sumter County.
Dirt track racer got upon the wheel seesawing the wheel, I have fond memories riding a road grader with my uncle the finish grade
hey buddy thanks for taking us along on your adventures, you have a great way of narrating and relating things to those of us unlucky enough to not work in the woods-I really miss it!
I love your video And my dad WUS a logger
good job Tim
Gotta use the wheel lean to keep it from sliding over. Can also help you out of a bog.
Maybe Tim can hire on with the county and grade the roads! We all know that he needs a 5th job.
great video Tim , thats one bad a$$ camera you were bouncing like crazy and the camera shot was steady and smooth be safe and have a blessed day !
Great video
Nothing like raw power love it i know u do lol tks gary
Hi from Swainsboro Ga
I knew where you were before you answered it about the monies. Had a phone call this morning from the timber company near me about working on the county road. And the Deer flies. Ate me up walking land lines last week.Bad this year for sure. By the way, enjoyed the ride along .
I’ve pull my Dads truck out, too, many times...
Some dairy farmers just don’t have the equipment to plow there own driveways so that’s where I came in, plowing and and pulling that milk truck to the milk barns..
Dad owned serval dairy’s and had a daily milk route of about 15 other dairy’s, too..
Talking to machines does help.
Also that was a lil tight spot timbo, but like an ace!
They like it when you pet them and talk sweetness to them.....lol
Make suer you check your front wheel drive motors out on that machine friends of mine have one and motors went out cost 20,000 to replace them.
Loved running road graders. The first one I ever run was a John Deere 672A the one with the “ T “ handle and had to operate the steering wheel with your knee. Then was up graded to the 672B where all the controls were by the steering wheel, the hardest part running that was remembering you didn’t have the “ T “ handle..lol. Then came the 772 CH that thing was a beast had 3 times the power of the A and B combined. Besides the power it had the best thing was the auto greasing if I remember right there was only a handful of zerts to hand grease including the circle. Do you run a flat board or stingers? We used stingers. In PA where I’m from most of our dirt roads are gravel so stingers work great. Great video keep up the great work.
30 mph is respectable! And scary! Looked like the steering was a little vague!
No Rally driving with that!
Cool video!
It gets a tad sketchy going that fast lol.
I bet! But I think you stumbled upon a new southern race tradition!
It would be a hell of a lot more exciting than NASCAR is today.. 😂 😂
Make a hell of a wide dirt track!
Get a helmet and that's it!
Are you in?
Hey tim been a fan for along time you represent us Mississippi folks very well could you do a video on all y'alls log trucks like a walk around and a hood open like you did on the 388 thanks - Nate
Good video man, thanks for sharing. Take care brother.
Love the video man that grader is strong .
Badass most Alabama gravel road s are that way
Nice grader make some money from the county THEIR ROADS NEED IT .
LOL
"Any one remember where we parked the grader?"
Awesome video Tim. I think you were pulling something like 90.000lbs up out of a ditch while spinning on a slick an muddy road. Without the front wheels pulling. Impressive. Later
Gotta get Logger Wade to teach you that picture in picture editing. Good video Tim.
Have you ever tried Yankum kinetic recovery ropes, seem like they would work very well when your in very muddy conditions yanking equipment & trucks out of the mud.
congrats on 40k
The Sony did a great job
May Flys land on the highest point of your body..Raise one hand, and when they land,, Slap from your free hand 👏
My wife just thinks I'm crazy when I talk to machine's.
I ain't seen this video yet and I go thru all my subs vids
Dang tim, ya gotta have a phd to operate that grader...lol
Well done!
….13
Thanks for taking us with. That shoulder was sure soft. I know graders are heavy too. I hope it isn’t a big job to get the front wheels pulling again. Was this a new video or older one?
Filmed yesterday.
Get em Tim get em lol
Your front tire not pulling. Why not bring in a couple of loads of pea gravel. It would stiffen up that road.
Depends on the county actually, some frown upon individuals putting down gravel, others, appreciate it. However, the drawback is, how much would that put Tim and his Dad in the hole for? Gravel ain't cheap anymore. If they could get the county to split the cost, I'm sure that would help offset their cost but, even then, time is money. Means have to out weight the costs.
Ham68 they might be able to get it from the county. They wohld have to get with the Road manager. Also they may be able to get free used pea gravel from a roofing contractor.
Live action from the woods with Cotontop3! Another awesome video Tim. BTW does that 772CH have an eight speed powershift transmission?
That’s correct
#2 ******
i m suprised you cut exactly as i do.
and believe in big power short bar . let the saw do the work. i sharpen by hand without guide.
However i dont in woods...but change chain & clean bar. ( 5 chains per day).
told people same as you but they dont listen. so when you showed all this and cut 38 inch with 20 ..it tickled me and said to myself yep yep yep, finnaly someone that agrees with me.
i ve cut cleaned cleared trimed skidded bucked stacked loaded trucked debarked headsawer grader loaded and trucked to finnish miller.
YES THE NORTH,
PENNSYLVANIA
NEWYORK ETC. HAVE MUCH BIGGER TREES BUT THEY ARE HARDWOOD AND IN MOUNTAINS MUCH STEEPER THEN ALABAMA. AND WE LOG IN 10 FT OF SNOW TOO.
I'm from Bradford County, you forgot, 10' of snow, uphill, both ways. ;)
I noticed the logs were not tied down on your days trailer do you wait until the trucks reach the blacktop? Or do you not strap them down at all? My dad and grandfather were loggers over in Alabama.
It was actually tied down. We use cables to tie our loads with and they’re hard to see at a distance.
retired now. but not in good health. disabled vietnam combat vet.
More power Scotty!
