My dad is a logger Btw where u logging at my dads logs in ohio kentucky and sometimes west vergina

You too man. Stay safe out there

The log truck?

We’re out of owsley county.

Well I’m a 3rd generation logger. I went to college for a couple years after high school and didn’t really like it all that much, so I came home and went to the woods. My grandpa started with mules and a crosscut eventually got a bulldozer and chainsaws. Dad came in when he was in his early 20’s after working a couple different jobs. I’m pretty sure he cut his teeth on a bulldozer anyways. He kind of took it to the next level, bought this outfits first skidder 440B jd. said that thing was a death trap. Then he went to an earlier model 518 than we have now. Sometime after that he bought a Knuckleboom. Used to run a lot if timber for a small family owned outfit. Dad downsized in the late 2000’s when prices dropped so low. So anyway I came back from college I think I was 21 when I started to work. I’m 25 now. I was always around it when I was young. I used to drive the dozer around in the pit when I was like 12 or so. I’ve decided I’m gonna try to make a run at this life, so we’re trying to pick up the pace to get back to where we once were. Thanks for asking, and thanks for watching buddy

Sorry that was so long

@@hoskinslogging9858 no prob. just answering questions and I appreciate it. we pulled wood with a 3020 john deere tractor and loaded it with a 4020 front end loader. Things have changed. Take care my friend

I’ll check it out when I get home tonight man. Thanks for watching

Timber is up a little. Doesn’t compare to the increase in lumber prices unfortunately.

Yeah I know where an arch is for that thing if it’s still there. I might go get it in a week or so. I noticed yesterday that I’ve about tore those finders off pulling those big loads up in that arch haha

I haven’t gotten used to that winch yet. I think it’s because it’s a torque converter machine. I feel like I’m burning the clutches out of the winch when I have to lay to coal to it to get it to winch a heavy load.

You wouldn’t happen to know where a man might find some rims and tired for this skidder would ya? I think the ones that are on it are way to tall. Kinda makes the skidder feel boggy

@@hoskinslogging9858 Might call GCR or loggershop both places i`ll keep my eye`s open

@@hoskinslogging9858 I know what you mean

@@HeltonLogging thanks man I appreciate it
