JD's drag was the first drag. so it was slippery from all sap & leaf juice . Once u get dirt pulled up over brush & so on it get alot easier to get traction. Ur test for next Comparison will be interesting!

I’m pretty sure if an eight wheeled skidded is having trouble going up it, we can call it a hill. It doesn’t have to be a mountain to be steep. Love the videos.

Never had any experience in a jd or a tiger cat but did help my pops back in the day working on old timber Jack's I remember the old 660 we're the top of the line back in the day now you don't see them any more

those hills thats where your tigercat will out shine the deere at least mine does.keep up the good vidgas

I appreciate the flags on the equipment I salute ya's. I work at a sawmill here in NC myself.. born and raised in the woods.. that's where they will bury me..

Hi Thomas!!😀😀 I do believe you are right. The extra power really makes a difference!!😀👍👍 It sucks that you guys can't make logs out of any of them. I've cut a lot of tornadoe damaged timber over the years a have had the same problem with the logs. Take care my friend!! Logger Al

Another great video Thomas and the only thing I’m gonna say about the two skidders is that the tiger cat has a longer wheelbase than a John Deere that’s why it will go up and down the hills better than a John Deere I never understood that about John Deere wow they make their scooters with such short wheelbase is better anyway y’all stay safe with this hurricane coming toward y’all again and I just pray for everyone over in that area that God will protect y’all and see y’all through this

Awesome video. Great video. It sure was well worth it to upgrade the 620. Proof is in the pudding right there. Might have to do a little fine tweaking here and there on the 748L2? I think Mickey wasn't woke up yet when he was loading puppy up. I still don't see how Mickey can be on the loader all day long every day. If it was me I would get out of the loader and get on the skidder for a few minutes in between trucks just to break up the monotony a little bit providing the pile had enough ready to load the trucks up. Can't wait to see the skidders side by side on the upcoming video. That will be an awesome video for sure. That hill you parked the track cutter on should be high enough for this hurricane. Love that office view. Nothing can beat that. Peason Ridge has some decent hills on it. I wonder what Michael was saying on the radio to Matthew when he made it up the hill without any problems. I think Matthew had more speed built up than Michael did but we shall see soon. Wow on those pine logs at the end of the video. Glad no one got hurt at the sawmill.

I agree, a clear cut should be a CLEAR cut, no trash left standing.

Tigercat💪 looking forward for that test. Tigercat gonna win 😤👍

As far as N.C. Mountains grade goes this is pie. I’ve never had any problem from John Deere.

Oh here come all the tiger cat comments. What a great video. Your channel has come a long way. Always love it. Stay safe

Can't wait for Mondays video.. Deere vs Cay And chrome is looking dusty.. Needs bath 😁

My money is on On Tiger Cat since the power set up!!!! Can’t wait to see head to head!!!!!!

Dang pup what a dirty ride you are driving. On then skidder wars. That’s like comparing my favorite welding machine a Miller blue to a Lincoln red. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I just got done cutting a track with a 20 - 25 degree slope. Running a 748L2 and a 748h the h model pulled the hill better than the new L2

Hey pup you need to wash that truck make her shine!!

Love them American flags flyin on them loaders

Awesome videos

Man you can hear that turbo on that tigercat!

Pup, you need to wash and wax that rig! 🤣😂🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love your videos but that's a little rise n a yard compared to where we log in WV Ohio n ky

Tigercat Wins, by TWKO(total wood knockout)...!

All around tigercat is the way to go

The ground had dried up a good bit between the runs!

Yeah puppy's truck is a little dirty you should get some tire spray for him so when he washes it he can pimp it out! Lol. 👍

Proof is in the tigercat!!!! Drop the 🎤!!!! Tigercats hydrostatic transmission is amazing!!! You can always find the sweet spot to make them pull!!!! #goyelloworgohome 😂😂😂 great video

That's a Beautiful Red CAT Powered W900, just too bad its so Dang Dirty.

Do they “nuke” the bushes before they replant?Great video. Prayers to you and yours.

Good test Tigercat always beats deere on them steep hills. We done this same thing with a 748l and a 620e in sand pine a few years back. Same results lol

Enjoy Your Videos TJ. Hopefully Y'all Are Okay After Delta

With all the rain you’ve had and the mud and dirt he drives on, that red truck needs a bath. Won’t last long but it will pimp it out for a little while.

Big hill lol. Come to North Western North Carolina and we can show you some hills.

Wind shake. Separations on the growth ring. Dangerous on guys dropping with chain saws also. Wind damage is costly. I've heard them popping like rifle shot in 20 brlpe zero weather. Frosrm and wind bending them. Locust trees so it real bad.

Hey puppy you need to wash your dirty truck ha ha lol 😆😆😆😅😂🤣😂😅😆

I run all types of equipment... big gurl just need some tracked chains ⛓️

I snatch stumps out of my skid trail all of the time

Hey Thomas 👋

Puppy needs some more chrome on that kw

From experience. That tiger kitty will eat that Deere for breakfast. I live in the West Virginia mountains. Deere won’t pull half what our tiger kittys pull. . We have 3 kitty’s, and 2 Deere’s. The Deere’s dream about growing up to be a kitty!

Come on up to Wilkes, Ashe, Watauga, Avery County areas of NC then we can talk steep.... Leave the grapples at home when you do and bring some saws and cable skidders... I could only dream of working your terrain...lol

Need to put tracks on that Deere but like the old saying is nothing runs like a Deere with a cat on its ass

Wash that truck puppy!!! That looks terrible 😂😂

How come you guys don't run tire chains?

Puppy your truck is way to dirty. I would like to see it cleaned up. By the way no paycheck this week unless it is nice and squeaky clean.

It’s not the skidder it’s the duel tires they don’t have enough ground pressure to get good traction on hills but that’s the point in duels to reduce ground pressure so you can stay on top of the wet ground.

Tiger cat all day John deer is good but tiger takes it .

Pups truck looking a little dirty

If we are talking best setting and traction of grapple skidder for steep then neither one compare to Cat.

That John Deere skidder dose not look happy about that big hill too slippery 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Gone with the John Deere he needs to clean that truck it’s nasty

Trail was used and beat down, had better traction for the tigercat. Deere was on slippery crap.

Tigercat will pull ya guts out!!

We go up steeper hills then that with a 648 John deer! That’s not what we call a hill!

It also could be the driver. The Tiger cat driver didn’t let the tires spin. The John Deere driver hammer down! LOL

My 6wheeler would have grabbed 3 of them bunches and a skidder and drove out of there

Tell puppy to wash his truck

It was funny we put a timber Jack's up against a cat the cat would out push the jack but the jack would out pull the cat

Take pride in your ride,put some soap and water on that W9!

Never saw the steep ground or hill? We log in southeast Va.😂

tie a tree to the tire for traction 3 1ft pieces on each tire... it will climb anything

I think the Tigercat had a tad more good not the hill test

Why is there two size tires on the machines

Do y’all plan on giving the same turbo upgrade to the Deere or you going to leave it?

Steep ground.....come to central Virginia up against the blue ridge...I'll show you steep...I fluid fill my front skidder tires to drag up mountains all the time..lollll....

If I could get a Dollar a tree for every tree a johndeere has skidded or a dollar for every tree a tigercat has skidded I'm ya I'd go with the Deere period .

Not even a full drag. Wood that thing up. What a circus

Tell puppy to wash that truck before he comes back to work.....

Chain them tires with them tracked chains....you'll be shittin n gittin... ask me how I know...also counterweights

JD cleared the way for the TC

Tiger cat for life

Painful to watch these guys go lol holy cow man

Shooot...if you get out of breath walking up it, it’s a dang ol hill.

Lose the duals and put ring chains all around =unstoppable 748

John deere makes a pretty good tractor and baler, they need to leave the forest equipment to Tigercat 😁

clean that dirty truck lol

Wax on wax off.

Tigercat way to go in woods

His aluminum is pretty dull

You can't touch a tigercat as far as skidders go

If I had a choice I’d take a tiger cat over a jd any day

CAT all day!!!!!

Tigercat and the John Deere comprable in size and horsepower

Your truck dirty

I am I am tiger cat man is a pulling skedder

Truck is dirty

operater.

Wash it

Is it too late for the dirty truck comments? Lolo

The tiger cat is going to walk all over the John Deere

Pup wash that truck
