Maybe tomorrow I'll get around to strapping the camera to the missus roll cage, show ya all the whole skid trail on this project, this was the easy part.

 

[KiwiBro]

Please excuse my ignorance, as I have zero time on a skidder (so this will probably sound like a stoopid question) but could you drive a post in on that inside corner for the logs to hit and swing around? Would it hold and would the arse end of the logs hit anything as they swung around it?

 

[northmanlogging]

A post would work, but it would have to be a fairly stout post, I've tried to use smaller trees as turn posts, 4-5" diameter stuff, and pulled them out of the ground, which can really get yer attention when they smack the cab.

The butts can swing a bit but not as much as one would think, unless your trying to swing on a really short bite...

Thanks for this. I imagine setting a sturdy enough post on every tight corner would get old pretty quick.

given the amount of 'little *****' around these days- the ones who don't deserve presents, mainly because they demand the bloody things - I'd imagine that off season must be growing. If Santa needs another midget helper for scrambling under the brush, I could rustle up a few.

I found myself instinctively backing away from my computer screen when you came to retrieve your camera.

even with a post I'd have to back around and whatnot to get the ends out far enough so there is enough leverage to swing em, too short and you break cable.

The little dude with the anger problems, that dislikes children would be me.

The bigger dude with a lazy problem that has too many children would be my brother.

And I look really mean in red.

I'm always happy NM doesn't crop the beginning and end of his videos. There's something exhilarating about watching something that large and frightening stumble around the woods from the safety of my computer screen.

Tiny trailer yarder?

 

[northmanlogging]

thats one of them Koller's I've been pining over... middle weight version....

Anyway here's the vid I tried to get done yesterday

Try not to stare at my arm, I've been staring for 10 years now and trust me you won't see what you want...

Figured a rear view would be something fun, would have like to not have so much of me in it... but... whatever

 

[treeslayer2003]

you'd be hell on wheels with a bigger machine and/or flatter ground my friend. i forgot you are a touch younger than i lol.......no wrinkles lol. nice work, i am sure the vid does the ground no justice. i have to do alot of that winch n drop with big sticks down in a creek bottom.

Its hard to get perspective through video... but yeah its steep... I have trouble going up parts of it unloaded, and about 1/3 of it has 15 deg of side slope... with no where to run to.

Theres a spot where you can see a power pole, and a log as a guard rail sort of... thats where I damned near lost it the other day... mudd, uphill, side slopping... not good...
