Barn Find Vintage Bristol-25 Bulldozer cutting tracks and pulling logs out of the forest.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The price of timber is ridiculous at the moment so I'm felling and milling a few trees that I planted last century.
For those worried about the effects on the environment from cutting down these 3 trees, don't worry, I have planted over half a million trees during my time working in the forest industry so I have removed enough carbon from the atmosphere to negate the carbon footprint of 10,000 humans.

    Yepper. Spark, fuel, and compression. If you have all three, it'll run. Today, if a dozer senses too much suction on the intake it'll put it in limp mode. Such a shame. When you need a 4-year degree with a minor in computer science just to work on a modern piece of equipment, things have gone way off track.

They skidded the trees the same way, to a rail landing, where a steam jammer was used to load them on flat cars to run them down to the mill in Potlatch or Lewiston... Our family used to winter in so that dad could rebuild the equipment during off seasons... Potlatch camps 14, 36, and 61 💘👍

    Watching you use this little machine reminded me of the first experience in riding/driving a crawler that I can remember. I'm 64 and was, maybe 5 or 6 at the time. Our church had purchased what, I think, was a small, military surplus crawler that literally came in a crate and covered in cosmoline. They brought it out to our farm shop to clean up and prep. It also came with a 2 bottom plow. When it was ready, we had a potluck lunch at my grandparent's house, all the church members came out and we drove in around an empty field across the road. Anyone who wanted to, could take a turn. Afterwards, reps from the aid society took possession of it, with appropriate ceremony, and it was "sent to Africa". I can only assume it actually ended up there. :-) We actually had a Cat D4 even before I was born, and I remember that tractor, but not as early as this one. I've also driven a Cat Twenty an =old= Thirty (where the seat's behind the tracks), a small Cletrac (don't remember the model), a Yuba Ball Tread (look it up), and a one-of-a-kind Union Sure Grip (look that one up, too), at a museum at the University of California, Davis (Antique Mechanics Club). One crawler we had in the collection, that was not running at the time due to a cracked water passage, was a Cat 65, serial number 1C1, the very first production diesel Cat built. Last I heard, several years after I left, it was repaired and is still run, on occasion.

    Awesome work with the Bristol, always great to see some 'dozing, sawmilling, and cool mountain scenery.

    So much fun when you have the tools. You have made so many awesome barn finds and other scores that you have rescued.
