Keep the videos coming. Ignore the know it all’s ! Eleven months ago I had a terrible accident in a Fellerbuncher that malfunctioned and rolled . I now have what the doctors call a “complicated moderate traumatic brain injury “. I’d been operating a buncher here on the East coast since 1997 . Now I’m stuck at home , but enjoy your vids .

No , I’ve got a lot of issues going in my mind that I never had in my life . PTSD , nightmares, no sleep and lots of other things . So I don’t know if I’ll ever get to do it again . I’ve always wanted to come out to the west coast and try it out though . Love your vids ! It’s good to watch a good , smooth operator !

That’s a bummer, I slide off a bridge in a 240 log loader in the winter time! Bridge was covered in snow and ice, I walked a 350 shovel and the buncher out the day before in worse conditions! That was probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced it was like a 20ft fall to the creek! Hit my shoulder in the front bars of the window and cut my head a little from the Same bars!

Oh if you pay attention you can tell it's steep as shit, unlike an excavator bucket or your fellin head on 855 to a degree...........grapples will tell you. Always amazes me how such an unbalanced lookin thing like a shovel can balance enough for the places shovel ops can take them into without leveling gear on it.............I've been in shit with an excavator that was not good, without cab riser and it did NOT feel good, and I wasn't swingin logs, just buckets. Being set up proper adds a lot I'm sure with single bars, and a high and wide package. My boss likes to get the next series bigger buckets for all the excavators, so we always feel like we're on a cow's face diggin and loading 6x6 rock trucks lol

I was on some steeeeep stuff today in the 568 loader and it amazes me how stable those shovels are! Only reason I’m in that and not my 855 is so I can heel the trees into the skid trail for the Skidder and shove my way around on the boulders 😬

Cutting, shoveling, cutting, making skids, decking, ect. Old boy taught me doing dirt work, slow and efficient equals fast! Looking good brother!

@pitbullforlife4359 yea just helps speed up the loading, plus they are very anal right now on quality, plus we were loading out 30 loads a day on this unit so the shovel operator was pretty busy just loading trucks lol when he’s not loading he’s out stacking landings or cleaning ditches so everything is done when he loads that last log on the job then onto a lowboy 👌🏻

Yeah, keyboard warriors, or loggers, or anything they can run their mouth (fingers) about. One of the bad things about the Internet, but there are positives, so keep posting, I like to see a professional at work. You mentioned running tracks on rock and potential for fire. I worked in logging for four summers quite a while ago in N. Calif. We were on a cat show and whatever the rock was would just roll sparks that you could see in the daylight. We had one fire start in a dead, punky white fir top and I was ten feet away. The smell of wood smoke is something that gets your attention real fast when you are logging. The cat skinner was jumping off his D8 with his water bag about as fast as I was moving the small bit of smoldering wood to clear dirt. I had gloves on, but damn that got hot fast.
