Some of those drivers had to be crazy. I bet there is a picture or two of loads gone the wrong way. Great thread.

 

[TrampLogger]

Yes some of them drivers were a bit crazy. In about 5 years we only had just a few few loads that had problems and only one bad one...fortunately no one was hurt

Those are some good sized tree's the buncher is cutting is there much hand falling done up there?

 

[TrampLogger]

the last couple years there has been quite a bit of hand falling, I have seen an operator on that buncher knock down a 5 footer. it was damn tough to shovel log to the road!

 

[Buzz 880]

They fall almost everything we have here with a buncher other then a few white pine and big hardwoods.Sucks the way the industry is depressed handfallers a soon going to be gone.Do you have any more pic's of logging out there?

this is nothing like tramplogger but here is a recent pic of a loaded dumpster we use.

 

[TrampLogger]

I have been back here in Oregon for about 2 years and almost all is fell with bunchers, there is still some nice timber around but unless its private its still standing. There is good and bad about that but that would take up another forum.Where I spent most of my time in AK it was about 50% hand fell, other places it is still all hand fell. Here is a few more nice loads from AK.

And here is a few pics of where they came from. The last two pics are on the same ridge....kinda a before and after shot.
