Tim, been watching your videos for last yr or so.. My younger brother is Timber dealer here in Georgia (West Central). He had 2 full time crews himself up until about a yr ago. He sold that equipment to the guys (2 Father/Sons combos that ran each crew) that operated crews, etc. He just strictly buys timber now from land owners...he keeps 9 (NINE) full time logging crews working. Our late Dad was in the Timber business for about 35 yrs. He was a Timber Cruiser and bought the wood for the Companies (of course you know what this consist of) Our Dad started for Great Southern Paper Co. In 1967.. early/mid 70's.. Great Northern Nekoosa Corp. bought GSP.. 1990 Georgia Pacific bought GNN..Daddy retired in 1995.. then worked for a local Timber Dealer till 2002.. That's really how younger brother got into Timber business (started out in land reclamation for GP through our Dad) .. He has been in/around Timber business since 1992 when he graduated College. I, myself, went into the Elevator trade in a Union job in Atlanta for Otis Elevator (retired in 2016 w/ 32 yrs service).. I do get out there and help my younger brother whenever he needs a hand (he does do the trucking for 3-4 of his loggers .. I drive a Mack or Peterbilt when he needs a driver) .. Truly enjoy your videos as I understand ALL aspects of what your crews are doing.. all the "headaches" too!! that go along w/ logging... Folks TRULY just do not realize how MUCH of their life is related to those trees being taken down and WHEREVER they go from the woods!!.. Be SAFE brother!!!.. ENJOY your videos.. makes me think of my late Dad so Much!! MUCH RESPECT to YOU!!

It was easy to get out because of all of you guys being so experienced in your job. It’s hard to beat years of knowledge on the job.

Wishing you and your family a blessed and safe Merry Christmas,Tim. Really impressive how you take all that happens in good stride. You’re one cool cat, brother.

Tim looks like you need to barrow the that old John deer cable skidder, and pull wood around the clock. 😆 The only good to come of that would be to remind you boys of how good you got it with those newer machines.

Very thoughful of yall to do that for the mechanic most people wouldnt even try to help out like that as always great job tdk

Well I learned something new today. Had no idea that dude had that much pressure on the static side. Good luck Tim.

New or old . 100 years old or made yesterday if its man made you will have problems . Some are lucky and never have problems . I had a friend bought a car new 54 miles on it . Drove it home and on way home motor locked up . It turned out to be a something was in oil pan from factory and clogged oil pump. Moral of it is nothing in this world is made perfect . Tim im glad you guys were able to get it out and send it to be fixed. There are a lot of skidders around my area sitting in the woods that caught fire and burn up and just had to leave there. Just last year a knuckle boom loader burn up just down the road and it is still there. Stay safe guys and Happy holidayx.

Tough blow right now. Merry Christmas Tim.

Good morning Tim and the CT3 family ✌️👍

Well Tim, when it rains, it pours, LOL. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Be nice to the 630 and the 437, and the processor too! Running out of spares! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Sorry to see you having these brake downs. Great effort on getting it on the detach. You guys will still get the wood out. Stay safe

My major breakdowns almost always happen hard up against a major holiday.

That's a hard working family

Thanks Tim, Happy Holidays to all you guys, Send to Jbird too

Always something with heavy equipment! Y’all be safe and careful loading and unloading them beast!

Time to dust off that trusty old iron, Merry Christmas Tim and the TDK families Have a safe New Year - 2021 has got to better that 2020....

Wishing you and your family a very blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy New Year Tim

Always something isn’t it If you run something long enough it’s going to break down Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Stay safe and stay well 🙏🏻👍🏻

Well Tim ,If the cable breaks you have a knife to do whatever you need to do Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend

Merry Christmas! Sorry for all the machine troubles.

Wishing you and your Family a Merry Christmas

The pucker factor had to be pretty high climbing in that dude looking down that hill.🤣

Great job on the video Tim hope y’all have a great Christmas

Merry Christmas, you hit the nail on the head, equipment has a lot of hours!!!!

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Really enjoy your videos.

you often mention the travel the rear suspension has but the videos really never tell the tale. this trailer loading REALLY shows how much travel the 2 rear axles have. 19:01 is a good example.

Merry Christmas to you, Tim and all of your TDK family.

my hydraulic filter blew off my tractor in the middle of plowing this 3 foot storm in vermont. lucky i got a spare. breather got clogged up. 42 year old tractor

Your Dad scared me when he walked between those skidders. Take Care.

Chicken one day and feathers the next!!! But I’ve been getting a lot of feathers lately!! Logging Life

Sure am glad that cable didn't break!! Your luck's bound to change for the better soon!! Good y'all gettin that done so smoothly! Cheers

Tim the Thursday before Thanksgiving my bobcat went down and I knew it was a fuel injector problem. It was a week and 2 days before we got it back to running. Then the next Tuesday after Thanksgiving the unversible joint when out in my work truck and it took a week to get parts for it cause it not only broke the U joint it also broke the carrier bearing and the piece that bolts to rear end and we found after we got it a part that the 2 u joint of 3 total was broke too. So I understand what goes on with this equipment. Have a merry Christmas. Have a good day and be safe.

Man at the dollar bills up in a puff of smoke it will get better lay in there merry Christmas

Logging got to love it

Sorry to hear about the 635 breakdown. Really interested in knowing what caused so much backpreasure. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you have a good one eh.

Good morning Tim bad luck on skidder Merry Christmas to you and your family and crew God bless

Merry Christmas.

Oh yeah Tim Merry Christmas and a Happy New year's I can't say from maternity family I'd say from Sandy Turner himself up here in Alabama Heflin

Be a logger they said, it’ll be easy they said! Lol. Great video Tim!

Tim you know the old saying bad things come in three. I hope it is not true with your operation. You guys do not need another machine down.Merry Christmas to whole pack.

As they say sh t happens, Christmas Greetings to you and your family from NZ and enjoy your break

Hope you’re able to get her back running and dragging wood, not the time to have to buy new stuff!

A covid stricken tigercat. Mask her up ! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Tim.

Nothing sweet an nothing comes easy

I'm not sure if I missed it but is this one of those videos he doesn't say later tators . It happens and has many videos he makes he can make a few without it

Sure got lucky I've seen two 748 take an hour to move a deere saw 1/2 a mile

Sounds like a valve issue, let's hope it is and not something eating itself. Well, Merry Christmas anyway!

Does Chad keep that kitchen knife stuck in the dash of the 635 to fight off the Cottonheaded-rattle moccasins?

Good morning gotten top 3 I am not saying nothing bad about your skidder but I know how good the rember jack skidders was and if I was in the logging business I think I would go find me a timber Jack 450 enclosed cab big tires have it completely restored from the blade to the back plate do a large big gravel and I think I could excuse much woozy tree farmers and tiger

NOOOOOO my favorite machine!

At least the machine locked down this time and you aren’t fishing for a 635 again!!!

Sorry to hear about the machine is that pulpwood Or you guys harvesting lumber

Time for a new one.

NOT THE TIME screw some these people saying buying new equipment .Tim ,Repair them for next 6 months ,,TELL you why ..after what i been seeing last month that going on with bidding and contracting delaying to major commercial banks Have major delay or just out right stopping on projects ..,Let see what month of March Permits for nations give all us, ,But up coming Xmass sales and GDP report come out around Jan 8th,,tell everyone lot more what going see for 2021

merry christmas

When it rains it pores in equipment troubles.Good luck on repairs.

Merry Christmas to your whole family, is the business looking at new equipment in the future?

That dozer is a handy machine to have around. Would you guys be lost without it?

This man worked his butt off to get 98k subscribers and most of his videos only 30k of those will watch his stuff🤔

Nice!!!!!!! ( is it a transmission problem? Or a differential problem?)

Too bad you have problems but it does make good videos. I hope the problem isn’t as major as it looks.

@cotontop3 What kind of production (number of loads) will the 630E be able to pull?

Is Johnny your salesman from B&G?

How’d you all lock down the trans after you got it up on the lowboy ?

A great video.

I hate to hear of any breakdowns. My skidder is a 648E so it has lots of hours. If I could afford another one I'd be rich.

what ever happened to that other mechanic that came there?

They can’t put a relief in out in the field?

there went an afternoon

Is that a taberts trailer

No Later Tater?

Going to go ahead and drop the coins for the new motor while it is down? 💰💰💰

Continuous breakdowns are very irritating and costly. Sorry about the string of crappy luck you guys are going through.
