You guys are some hustling dudes for sure...that is a lot of experience talking with efficiency at the same time. Thanks for the great narration as well. Bless yall

I just found your channel last night, and I have to say I really enjoy your videos. It's neat to see just how much wood you guys save out, a lot more than I've seen otherwise. Not to mention the level of skill the operator has, which is incredible!

+Thujaplicata1 Hey, thank you for the view and the comment! Glad to have you on board as a viewer.

It blows my mind how big your channel got buddy!

That is just amazing that you can get such good thick long timber and that machinery can handle it to fell, haul and process it. Great skills demonstrated all round from you, your brothers and your staff.

Thank you. It takes quite a while to figure out the little tricks and the learning process never stops.

Kevin. on hell of an operator. U guys have a great crew from what I have seen.

I'm a logger in northern Wisconsin and we cut pulp wood almost all hard wood. we use a processor and everything is cut to 8' and down to 4" diameter small end. it must be nice to have long pulp wood like you guys do. keep up the good work brother be safe!

+Ryan Seppanen You're right, it is very nice not to have to cut it up into 8' pieces. 10' is about as short as you will see anything here. Thanks for the view and the comment!

Thank you man!

That's some impressive operating right there! 👌

Some fine machine operating skills right there! Good to that y'all use as much wood as possible too. That's always a good thing, get as much out of a tree as possible. Talk about a massive poplar though! Dang brotha!

Yeah that was a big-un!

Can definitely tell he has been running that machine for years

love big timber you can fill a truck so fast as long as the equipment can handle the size I really feel like it's easier work too plus big $$$$$ per load

Love the videos Tim and hope one day we can meet up. Been watching on my PS4 is the reason why I haven't been commenting

I have to say Kevin is amazing with that machine. Maybe it's in the name seeing as I m a Kevin too. I m just saying LOL great video and happy new years.cheers

I cut trees as big as that poplar all the time with a H7 that weighs half as much as that Waratah and about half the size. Plus we have to cut to length and utilize better.

I stand corrected.

heck of an operation, BUT , you could cut the butt end of those trees for him , so those skidders aren't sitting. I know you where filming! I just can stand seeing sitting with full grapples!! Stay safe , knock on it!!!!

I do help him cut up a lot if we're running stuff like that and I have several videos on here with me doing that. This video is for Waratah to show just how big of a hardwood tree you can work with it. Thank you for the view and the comment.

+sean john He's an old guy and we basically use him for support.

Super bummer to have skidders waiting... sometimes that's the way it is, but I look for alternative solutions. They can deck nearby usually, and processor moves there when skidding gets tougher/longer. Owners usually do same, so I'd assume it's not possible here. 568 operator

That's a heck of poplar tree

Does the work of two machines, fells, delims, and cuts to length

All I watch a video man

Stroke limber at-30f them trees are funnnn

Cotton I see a number of log decks of timber ready to haul but no trucks? I gather you don't process and haul at the same time?

Biggest bank for the buck! Cool!

Well as you know I'm in Louisiana lol, hey got a question what other communication you have beside this

That's the way it ought to be but 9 9 out of 100 places you try and go the extra mile they will downgrade you and say you're sucking up or just trying to make them look bad. I've worked for a very few in my 40+ years that appreciated it but mostly they'd just stick their nose up at you. I've come to the conclusion that the Bible is right and I'm supposed to go the extra mile and look after someone else's wealth because I'm working for God Almighty and He says to do everything as unto HIM. All the rest don't count. Glad yall have a good crew. Ain't nothing better.

out of curiosity Mr Cotontop, when I see u diskin around a place yall are logging are u getting summer plots ready on yalls own land or company tracts....? just curious? Thank ya sir!! "PLOWBOY"

How does he know the length when he doesn't start at the butt? Does it even matter?

Doesn't matter on those because they're being cut by a top diameter.
