Great work wade! This looks like the 40 I just bought but with less hills and more mud. Trying to clear it for cows with a single John Deere 5055 tractor it's been hell! You guys sure handle business!

Great work as always there Wade

I remember those days. My Pop Logged with 1206 IH Farmall & Chains & a TD15C IH Dozer with Winch. .

Great video y'all have a great weekend and stay safe 👍

That's awesome. I do finnish grade with a dozer. I think your job would be so fun making roads and tromping through the woods. Nice job.

Good job Wade. Take care and have a great Halloween weekend.

Great job Driver, you get them logs out one way or another. Love the shiny stack on your dozer. lol be safe out there Tater. Happy 🎃 Halloween

Always great to see how others use their dozers; here in KY we seem to end up mostly skidding with a dozer(small hand cut operation). Why do y’all only keep one choker on the dozer?

Someone needs to do a documentary on wade and the oh so many hats he wears! He's a logger what is a logger and what do they do? Well...Monday hes hand cutting trees Tuesday hes cutting them with a machine Wednesday hes skidding them Thursday hes processing Friday hes operating a dozer doing engineering road work Saturday hes a husband and a father ontop of being a son himself...geeze talk about a man who does it all! Then you got him operating tiny then hes directing the crew and the list just goes on forever!! This is logger wade,a man to truly admire and respect for he has earned it.! (Can't forget sawmill operator and electrician and field mechanic) God the list doesn't stop lol

Thanx for sharing this video. I'm not a logger by trade but love learning new things, lol. I would love seeing a vidja of Big Daddy 'finish' grading a job. Would be very interesting to learn how you all go about erasing the 'footprint' left by the machines left behind. The thought process Big Daddy goes through Seoul be a bonus but doubt he'd be up for that, lol. Have s great day and have a wonderful Halloween with your family. Don't forget to throw up some pictures of the costumes you all came up with!!

I skidded some years ago with pops 750 Dozer back when the 640 was broke down..I know it's a rough ride skidding with a Dozer, I was glad when the 640 was back on the Job.lol

i love my 700 k ... its a lgp with 12' blade .... its a bear when it starts to spin out ..... but my carco 50k hydraulic winch works like a dream ... slower than the 4000s though lol

I jest got a 450 H game changer. Wish it was a little bit bigger but it does the job.

Love the Dozer video what model dozer are you running I know it's a John Deere does it have hydrostatic drive to both tracks

That's all we had to log with in eastern Kentucky

Nice going.

All we used was dozers. Tried to avoid uphill skidding though. Especially with conventional jd 650s where you they are light in the nose trying to pull logs let alone uphill.

I just come off a right of way slip/clean up job in wv. We pulled a ton of logs with dozers. I ran an 850 and can honestly say John Deere is the worst for winching. Hate that the seat isn’t a little sideways.

Wade, when you are clearing for timber on a job like this, everything must be cleaned up with whatever is harvested? Can tops stay as long as they are put in a pile or do you get the timber out then come back for the debris?

It won't be long you will have some extra help them boys will be flying through the woods

Ya that rain all last year was crazy

handy to have the dozer to help sloppy ground rain is a pain

This is when a cable skidded would of been ideal. Or a grapple with a cable combo. Thier a great tool and throw chains on one man the work they can do

Oh boy. That time again

With the price of wood nowadays, I hope you all are making out ok , stay safe buddy.

Most, if not all JD dozers have the chrome stack. The older ones (like the 700 in this vid) usually sound pretty good too.. thats about the only thing they have going for them lol

I find dozer work to be therapeutic 😅

Happy Halloween everybody !

MUD SEASON . DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT?????

been running bulldozer in the forest for the past 20 yrs. you done just fine the only thing i see that may have helped you would have been to have a little bit bigger dozer..

The older I get, the slower my brain runs .....

Hey Wade 👋

Why don't you leave tire chains on one of the cable skidders for these situations?

Nothing like being in mud with a dozer trying to do anything

That is just about all your dozers got

What a mess Mr!!

I go through a lot of crap to get wood

I look at your operation and Cottontop's. The terrain you work seems to be a lot tougher. The wood you harvest is probably more expensive. Cottontop seems to moves a whole lot more than you.

Definitely more expensive. A single log could theoretically be worth more than a truckload of their pulp down south

It was spinning because you was pushing a log as big as a truck with the blade and pulling two trees behind you.
