All the good marketable pine is planted pine. They don't let pine get this big down there. I have never seen any this big...

This timber exists because it is hella steep rough ground and I heard it might be land locked with the FS. Like my boss said, this is a s close as we have to OG timber. He said today the oak is as big as a skidder tire where that pine is. I think once all the road building and the ERC crew is finished, I should be able to move to it. Heck now that I think of it... the damn oak is going to be hard to sell also due to size1 however I know of a couple mills who run double over head 60"s so maybe we can go there with it. Everything is so dry and evrybody is working that equals lots of logs at the mills right now!

Finished welding on the 8 and test ran it for 2 or 3 hours out back of my place and marked out some trees. Gonna cut a load between mine and my neighbors. Should have it all out by tomorrow afternoon. I have to throw the floor plates and belly pans back on the 8 first thing in the morning. It was fun running it with no floor plates.. I greased up that stubby drive shaft between the torque converter and the trans and it threw the excess right up in my face lol. Ohwell..

so ya think ya got that leak fixed up?

 

[jrcat]

It still has a slow weeper but not like it was. I am going to get some texas refineries trans/hydraulic oil for it. I use the grease the TRC 880 crown and chassis grease. So the sales man said it will slow down if not stop that leak. I dont know if I truely believe that but I will try it. $65 for a 5 gallon pal of it. So not any worse than buying hydro/trans oil from deere or ih.. they want a fortune for that hytran ....

 

[jrcat]

The shifting also seems a lot more positive.. crisp ya know..
