Grapples have their place no doubt, but you're right you have to care if its a thinning job about not scarring up the standing timber. Not saying a line skidder won't scar up the timber but there are tricks you can do with cable ya can't do with a big ole grapple in the way... and I don't have to back up to each and every log.

Whats making me money right now it that much of the stuff the other guys left, was left because it was across shall we say "soft ground" they just couldn't get to it.

Its worked out better then I had planned, Figured I would only get 3 maybe 4 loads out of there, and I sent of #s 4-5 Tuesday-Wednesday (maybe #6) and still have at least 3 more to go. Guy just keeps wanting more cut.

Still have some big brutish looking Hemlocks to dump, saving them for next to last, thinking they are over 36" on the stump 6-7 of em. I would like to do a time lapse video of that little patch getting leveled... but that involves spending money on techno garbage... have trouble paying for something that I can't eat or make money or build something with...

I have the camera....

 

[northmanlogging]

that may be a very tempting offer...



Wait you just wanna see some big monster fall down huh?:msp_sneaky:

I'll let ya know a few days maybe even a week in advance, you're a small hike from here but not so bad it couldn't be made in a day.

How about you roberte?

 

[treeslayer2003]

wew, it's hot here to. 92 and humid. well, it help dry up. tc, ya got that humidity there to? and did I see somewhere you like scrapple?

 

[twochains]

Yep, the humidity here is wretched! I can only wear a T-shirt for the walk into the woods, then I just keep it to wipe my eyes out. When I used to cut ERC, after a rain in the summer, the sun would come out and the ground would steam as you were "falling" the timber. I was disgusting really, yer lungs would feel like they had water in them.

Scrapple rules!
