Been an cable skidder operator for 12 years. A grapple skidder of any kind is a dream. Every skidder is special in it's own way thankyou Mr. Wade

Nice video Wade. Love the way you sweet talk and gently caress Erma to get moving your way. Thanks for sharing another terrific video.

Good job Wade we go plenty of baby shit mud here in tn. them skidders are tuff ass machines.

What I saw a skidder do going up a hill - He would use the logs pushing him up the hill by not letting go and close and they push back. Raise high and go a bit then loop back in the push down and pull in then rise as you push outward and it helps. loop back... method. 🙂

Can’t beat those G models! Those big long poplar are heavy!!!

Maybe I'm crazy but skidding was always my favorite part of logging.

Times was tough for me pulling cable through shit, so was shown. , and learned how to winch a cable right. , so it would free wheel easier,, my best day. Was about 15 yr old.

Great video bud.

The tigercat bogie has revolutionized the timber industry. The tracks an extra wheel can pull an hold up on ground pressure. And pull more wood than a 4 wheel skidder. The price is the only downfall.

@LoggerWade

Yup my thoughts exactly

Beech trees keep their leaves all winter. That and their slick bark is how you know them. Some white oaks keep a few leaves here but their rough bark gives them away.

I didn't see the miss tree but a hell of a job driver!! We just cable skid , our fleets all old iron 2-tj 205(just little girls but I love em) 1-225 tj and a 240 tj with an extended from ! I've noticed tho that the woodlots in your area are opened up more then ours . Makes sense to run a grapple rather then the cable rigs!!

A dual arch skidder is easier to push to push yourself out with. And some chains would be a bonus. Lol

Add some tire chains and she would be a hole different machine. We’re still cable skidding with 240 timberjacks and we tried one summer on new tire and after a week we put the chains back on the tires because we were sick of spinning on wood
