Its nice to see others logging. Don't knock the way you guys work. Budgets dictate how you go about it. Keep up all the hard work and great videos. Thanks wade stay safe

Man I could listen to that Tigercat 610 exhaust note all day! She's got some pep in her step too. Love watching these machines go to work. Thanks for the vidya Wade.

Yeah they sound pretty good

I like how the tiger cat skidder controls spin around so you can run backwards just as fast.

I've never ran a track cutter, it's nice to see and have someone explain how cutting with it is done. Thank you for a clear explanation of the differences in the saw heads and the operation. I wish other loggers would be or act as professional around here as you all are there!! Great vidja tater, thank you and God Bless!!!

Dangerous work nice to watch these guys . Safe , Smart & Efficient in what they do ! Good Show !

Man that was an impressive operation!!Hope to see you guys like that some day.

One of the best videos yet

Hey logger Wade, your crew does a great job with Brutus, Titus and din-din. Keep up the great work driver !!

Higher caliper machine means higher costs. Don’t underestimate your operation Wade. It unfortunately all boils down to what the “ wallet spider” says you can afford. Bigger, more expensive equipment isn’t always better for everyone. Great vidjo Wade. Stay safe and thanks

It does you good to see something like that. Thanks man

Its mesmerizing I could watch all day thanks

A interment head seems like a more all purpose head. That would suit a guy well that could only afford to buy one. To be able to fell and process is what peaked my interest the most.

Very good video, I have a 1997 timbco 425 with a fixed head it does very good. Someday it would be nice to get a newer one with 360 head. Sometimes easy to buy harder to pay back. 👍 video fun to watch and learn something.

Awesome video Mr Wade.

Great video of of all the machines

Good equipment and operator’s 👍👌

I agree with stump Jumper Ryan's head. David Haleys Timbco does a good job too it doesn't look like it marks its spot like brutus does either

Huh man we had fallers , brush stackers ,choker setters, cat operators pulling logs out and our loader operator on the landing loading trucks. If we had that stuff I could have come home and went dancing after work (LOL)

And it was this day logger wade converted to Tiger cat. 🙂🤣 Those tigercats sure make it look easy with good operators

You got logging fever bad. Reminds me of a man who went to the doctor and the doctor told him he didn't have much time left but he could give him a brain transplant and it just so happens he has two of them , he says the one is a couple hundred bucks and the other one tho was ten grand! So the patient says why so much difference? The doc tells him that the cheap one was from a lawyer and the high priced one was a logger. Hu? says the patient says why the difference and the doc says lawyers lie so much that their brain is wore out but the logger is pristeen cause its never been used!/LOL. If they only knew what a logger went through in one day... if they only knew what a logger that is good at his trade went through they would have their own football team an win the super bowl.

@@LoggerWade Have had experience with a 522 Cat with a Quadco intermittent head and they work so so but they can't take much abuse. If you are in big timber and its hardwood a big directional will smoke them and hold up much better. That big rotation bearing is the weak point and it is 15 grand not counting the down time and labor. Have never had a true hot saw like yours but I imagine they are much better. The skidders have to have roads most of the time in the terrain we work in and a dangle on a big excavator where you have a lot of rotation and reach works best for us here in the Appalachians.
