It is nice to see Phillip learning all the tricks. He knows when he needs a new trail to get up the hill.

Philip is doing an amazing job running that 630...he has obviously been taught well...he is still learning and will be a very good operator in no time.

There is just something about massive powerful machines. I grew up around phosphate mines and they had some huge equipment they used. I would sit and watch them for hours. Never grew out of that. LOL.

He is going to be top logger for the company. He is a very humble young man, i love to see himwork

That's impressive to see a kid that young already doing so well with that monster machine.

Great job, Phillip! That’s better than any video game ever made. Thumbs up to y’all for training him up to be a productive young man.

Great video. Your operators really know there job. Those machines are very powerful. Thanks

Great video Tim. I been running a 620C for 9 years. Tigercats are built to last 💪

That young man is going to be a really good operator by his early 20's with you're guideness an his father

Great video Tim. Nothing like when man a machine become one. You have to get the right person thou behind the controls.

Good video, enjoy seeing Phillip learning to work along Dad and Uncle, good values.

Great job Phillip !!! Impressive young man .

I can listen to that Tigercat all day. Just getting it done 👍👍 #beastmode

Phillip, you don't need no stinkin' chains. Stay on top of the ruts when you can, buddy. Good job. You are a natural.

Young Phillip don't need roads or tracks, he makes his own. Well done Young Sir

A great learning experience for Philip. He deserves a full wage for the work he does. Thanks for sharing.

You should ask Phillip sometime if he knows how truly fortunate he is to have all this big machinery available to him, although he may not feel that way in 30 years or so. All I had was Tonka trucks and graders, haha. So good to see him learning the log woods rather than playing on a Nintendo game.

Phillip you lucky lucky boy, I am currently 16 and it would be a dream to be in your place, cuz flipping burgers is no fun and there is no logging in my area but I sure hope to join you and the rest of the logging community out there in the brush sometime soon - Evan

Man Phillip sure is lucky getting to run the skidder all the time i wish i had the chance to run a 630

Impressive job by Phillip ! and the sound of the 635 never gets old, as always thumbs up,, !

GREAT job Phillip.....

great camera work and great you explain everything so well thumbs up

Great job Philip

I was thinking of you when I went and bought some 4x6x16 SYP . All the work and years it took for the trees to be large enough to harvest them! Thanks for an informative video.

Phillip getting it done and making Kevin proud, sounds uncle Tim enjoys seeing him do well too.

Excellent video. Loved it.

Makes me really happy to see you guys getting that boy started out RIGHT ! 👍👍 I wish there were more young people that got the chance, I think it would help this world out a LOT ! Enjoyed the explanation of the skidders and what needs to be done to work them, that was great ! 👌 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍

Phillip is coming right along 👍👍👍

Boys they puttin out on that hill both rigs

Phillip is smart for his age y'all doing a good job teaching him now he can start learning on some of the other stuff I was put in a truck at12 they had me moving them around on the job and at the yard

Awesome video. That’s awesome that Phillip is out there doing that job. I like that he stayed with it and figured a way out. Definitely some life lessons to be learned there. Love the skidder still my favorite piece of equipment. Thanks for the video

Great seeing a young man learning and doing a great job, great videos as always, y all keep up the hard work!!

Good to see Phillip back behind the wheel again, Great job Phillip.. Great Vid. Tim,Take Care out there..

Phillip is a lucky kid

Good video tim keep it up and Phillip will just keep getting better and better the more seat time he gets proud to see him trying like he does

635 totes the mail!

Haha boys them things are beasts... hope all is well bud just checking in

I love the sound of power being made.

Nice job, I love to watch that kid running that 630!!!!!

great video Tim i love to hear those diesel engines working be safe and have a blessed day !

Nice action shots of the skidders in drags, Phillip is a smart cookie, great training by ???? Cheers.

That 630e is strong, steady, and quiet just how I like my men. 😁

Good man Philip, no bother to him, but Chad, he makes it look so easy:):)

Very good thank you!!

There's a lot more to it ,then meets the eye ! Good video !

Great video

Phillip did an awesome job!!

Love the sound of that 635 👍

Great video Tim thanks for sharing have a great day

Awesome job to Phillip!👍

Ole Phillip is gettin her done. That 635 does need new rubber pretty bad. Later tater

Regarding the comment at the end about tyre chains, I don't think that you would want to run tyre chains in the conditions that you were working in for the simple reason that tigercat did their calculations on how strong the drive train components have to be assuming that the tyres are going to spin when you ask the machine to pull more than it can, and this is basically the slip clutch or safety in the system that stops you from breaking drive lines or chewing up center portions. When you create a situation of lets call it excessive traction by using chains in good conditions you create a situation where there is far more torque in the whole drive train than was anticipated in the original machine design, and that is when you start eating up centre portions like you did in the 635 some time back.

Good job Philip 👍

That was nice to see Phillip do that well in the tiger cat 630 I'm sure Kevin might have been worrying and clenched tight to his seat

Great video sir,did I hear you right that's was a 12 yr old driving that skidded,if so my hat off to ya

Running those MAYPOP tires on the front of the 635D!

Young Philip is going to be a master operator in no time Tim, and good on him for his dedication to the logging industry. Hey Tim would the chains you were talking about save any extra wear on the tyres at all? Or are they simply for grip. Later tater.

Awesome machines timbo!!

It is interesting to see how much better the 6 wheeled one works than the 4 wheeled one.

I really enjoy 'anything logging' videos, thanks. ....13

Chains and tracks take the slip out. Joints drive shafts finals etc. work that much harder when the wheels won’t slip. A little wheel slip vs breaking expensive parts is way better in my opinion.

That bad boy sounds nasty! You can hear the torque.

You better watch it Tim he might have your job one of this days ha ha he sure no’s how to run it been trained well good job and good video Tim

Cool video tim I enjoy it

635 is a savage

Nice job Phillip you got it see ya Napa mike

So who takes home the bigger check, Phillip or his Dad. LOL... You know you really should be running tracks with chains to get the best traction... Up here it's rare to see a skidder without chains. Not sure if it's a requirement or tradition. Most of the places look drier than where you're working but there are a lot of narrow side hill tracks as well.

kool video, thanks

Just wondering why don't yall run up the trees (from top to butt) to break off some of the limbs would also make a little bit lighter drag. The guy I use to work for would harp on doing that. It also helped the delimber out. Of course we just had the trailer mounted drag though delimber. Just wondering if you get a chance to answer. Thx for the great video!!

young Philip is getting to be quite the operator, at least that's what the girls are sayin... bahaha

Love,love a 635 but omg slow,slow,slow

What is the end product of this wood you are harvesting? Very good videos. Keep them coming. Thank you.

Good video it’s some honey suckles where I stay too

I’m sure listening to them work is great but end of the day a nice quiet machine is nice. I’m surprised they don’t run 8.3liters.

I'm still shocked how steep it is in mississippi, are the tracked skitters like bell and cat not really for bigger wood in these conditions

My dad was hanged up once in a my ulce log truck they try’s pushing him out with their timberjack skidder they was pushing on a log then the log started push on cab it pulled the cab in my dad had jump out the passenger side windows

Hey Tim love your videos. Have y'all though about demoing the new John Deere L series

Philip is getting it done. Going to have to add the "p" into y'alls logo soon.

Cool stuff👍 Do you ever run tire chains or bogie chains in the spring when it's soft?

Can u show a job site from after y'all done and cleaned everthing up

Does Phillip still like Tonga trucks or are they all put away when you get to run the real stuff?

Hey man love your vids. How do you like your olight? I have one and that boy is bright as the sun. Keep um coming👍

How long do the skidder tires last before you have to replace them. I thought you replaced the tires on the 635 in a previous video. They look really worn coming up the hill.

I have so many questions

With all the benefits of a grapple and its obvious superiority, it leads me to question why anyone would ever get a new cable skidder instead of a grapple skidder?

I know terrain has a lot to do with the distance you have to drag wood, so it looks like you are draging wood a long way because of the terrain.

Pulling son of a buck

why stay in the deep ruts?

Great video
