THIS IS NOT A HOW TO, it's a how I do. Don't try this if you aren't confident in your cutting skills. VERY DANGEROUS!

Nice one 👍
OK. Hands down that place sucks for a campground.... FYI. I travel with a cheap $19.00 Amazon white noise machine. I can sleep through a nuclear bomb when I put it on the nightstand and turn it up. Really drowns out my wife, who claims she does not snore. I've been inclined to record her, but in the interest of marital bliss, have thoughtfully not done so. Truth is, she could rival a 8V-71 Detroit at high RPM...! Drive safely on you trip back home, Joe Whipple
@@Whipple1 LOL sir, thanks for the advice regarding the white noise machine. having a sleep study done and getting CPAP machine saved our marriage. lol
That's like a landing full of GOLD! Youzza! I'm sorting cherry, poplar, hickory, locust, sugar maple, red maple and three kinds of oaks next week. The decent mill logs are already gone and these will be mostly for blocking and the remainder for firewood. Wrapping up for the winter. Not a big fan of mud and cold anymore. Stay safe out there, Joe. Get logs, but still have fun, buddy! Whipple
@@Whipple1 Yessah! I'm off to cut another 100 walnut job next week. Stay Safe sir!
Smooth operator right daddy 🎉
just wait till you see today's vidjoe!
Hey, Joe! Stay safe, get logs, and don’t forget to have your fair share of the fun! Whipple
Dang…! What a stick of timber. Whipple
I’ll bet you would have liked hauling several more loads of those logs. Beautiful walnut timber. Never cut much myself. But, I was working a job outside of Dubois, PA in the 80s and between Tyrone and Huntingdon, there were more walnut trees than I’d ever seen in my life. Could not believe how plentiful they were. Whipple
@@Whipple1 We have world class walnut in sw Wisconsin. there's 100 of those monsters on this job, I have the last 12 to cut tomorrow and the smallest one is 26" dbh. I only wish that I were cutting on percentage vs by the foot. they are paying me a premium for spur cutting though.
@@naturetamer That’s awesome! Hope the boards get steamed to bring out as much color as possible. Whipple
Sweet loader. Handy machine. Fave fun. Stay safe. Get logs. Whipple
@@Whipple1 Thank you sir, only those of us in the trade can understand the value of someone saying "Stay Safe" vs "Have a nice day"
@@naturetamer Ain’t that the truth. I had a sugar maple barber chair on me a couple months ago. Incidents like that always keep me on my toes! Be safe, brother! Whipple
Whatcha cutting there, Joe? Are those some big poplars? Whipple
@@Whipple1 Big Walnut sir
@@naturetamer Wow! That’s fantastic. Hard to tell the bark from that distance and I couldn’t see the branch ends. Great day for you! Be safe. Have fun. Get logs, Joe! Whipple
Wheres the air-conditioning cab and radio?
Ive taking tests and found out i have a i q of 48 some would call me mentality retarded.
Joe is peeing again. This is how the great Mississippi was started
Where is the cab? I need air conditioning and a radio to sing my songs of joy
Im Fire MARSHAL BILL!

Oh yea hey, they rode in on a horse and buggy
@thelegendarymacgruber6455 you should go steal his hat
@matthew53719 Yea go steal his hat and then get in your car and drive away. He couldn't catch ya he is on a horse
they get to borrow it though
Were you the red shirt?
Oh yea that sure was old Joey G on that saw.
@@matthew53719 He sure can cut his wood fast!
@@Matteo53537 lol, no
@thelegendarymacgruber6455 OH yea boy he's like the chain saw massacre of wood.
@@matthew53719oh yea hey he's. Ike a angry beaver
Amazing! Enjoy that!
You making a field or just mowing
Good work
Nice tug!
Nice fell
Guess we're not climbing that one to make a tree house...
Jump in the pool and cool off!
Nice one!
Nice drop, Joe. You underestimated yourself! That white oak didn’t make you look small…….It made you look handsome! LOL. I’m clearing a patch of nice red, white and chestnut oak at the moment. Getting some dandy sticks. Minimum 24” with up to 48” at the butt. Most are 30-32’ to the first branch. Having a blast coming out of retirement to cut on this property. Haven’t felled such fine specimens of Allegheny hardwoods in years. The tops are yielding cord after cord of great firewood, too. Stay safe out there Joe. Have fun. Get logs! Whipple
Wow 😳 timber 💪
Heavy load!!
Girl power 🎉🎉
Nice one go girl 🎉
Nice one 😎
Funny you mention cutting white oak today. I just started into a patch of nice big red oaks and some decent sized white oaks. Scaling out an easy 1,000 board feet each on the red oak we cut on Saturday. Slightly less on the white oaks. Very nice level ground and short trips to where I’m yarding them. It’s been dry so we won’t tear up the ground too much. Stay safe out there, Joe. Get logs! Whipple
Getting it done 💪😎
OOH She sounds Good! ❤ the muffler & rain cap!
Holy crap! Looks way too far north to grow bananas, Joe! Next video will probably be how to properly cut pineapple bushes or prune a watermelon grove! LOL. I kill myself sometimes! Be safe out there, Joe!
ha! that's funny, lol. I'm gonna have to go south to find anywhere to work with the way this winter is going. damn warm winter
@@naturetamer That’s for sure. Hit nearly 60 degrees in western PA today.
Nice work!!
It's appropriate that these trees are harvested for a useful purpose rather than allowed to just grow old and rot. Everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Even bristlecone pines and ancient sequoias get old and decay. The old makes way for the new.
Whereabouts are you cutting walnut these days, Joe? We used to get a decent percentage of walnut on the timber warrants we won in Green County, PA, but the real gold mine for walnut was in the hills around Altoona. Mainly north and east of town. We had some real monsters that we cut toward Prince Gallitzin State Park in the late 70s. The timber buyer was shipping the veneer quality logs to Germany and he gave us some poly end seal to make sure the checking was minimized. I cut on shares with the logging contractor and it was an awesome pay day when we got into the big walnut. We also cut persimmon, paw-paw and osage orange in Greene County that went to Japan for custom gold club heads. That buyer wasn't too particular about the length of the logs but they absolutely had to have the end grain sealed to prevent checking as soon as they hit the landing. If they showed the least bit of checking, the buyer rejected them. Again, a top dollar pay day. Be safe out there. Cheers! Whipple
hello Whipple sir, I'm sorry I didn't see your comment earlier, I'm cutting I'm south west Wisconsin... world class black walnut
@@naturetamer Too old to log any more…..Love to work black walnut in my wood shop. Just finished a keepsake box for a friend’s daughter’s wedding gift. Her mom made the paper, bound the wedding registry and photo album, and I sized the box for it all to fit inside. Looks pretty nice, if I do say so myself. Stay safe, have fun, and get logs, Joe! Cheers! Whipple
@@Whipple1 I would love to hear your stories some day, a woman that I was talking to today asked me if I would ever sell my logging equipment and go to work for someone... 🤔🙄🤣
@@naturetamer That’s funny……..!
Wow great video! Nice trees!! 💪
Thanks 👍
Love it!!

We had a JD 4020 on our farm when I was a kid. I think it was made in 1969. First new tractor my dad ever bought. He loved that tractor until it started giving him fits. Worked perfect for a few years until it didn’t. Transmission, hydraulic pump, electrical system. They all started going bad. I was in high school and can remember getting off the bus to see a guy winching it onto a trailer. My dad had the biggest grin but wouldn’t tell me where it was going or what kind of deal he made to get it off the farm. Always knew he came out on the upside of the ledger when he got rid of that tractor. Hope you have a great run with your 4020. Cheers! Whipple
so far she's been good to me, I think the motor is from a 4620. 😎
Doggone it, Joe. Could you have cut that skidder trail just a wee bit narrower? Dang it. My knuckles are white just watching this video! Merry Christmas! Whipple
yessir! it definitely got the blood pumping!!! so glad to be done using it, it was getting narrower with every skid.
Merry Christmas!
I'm either part 4 or 5, I showed that I was struggling to gather enough material cause it got so rocky
Been there done that, got to be in shape, , but.... God the views and the love of nature. At the end of the day you know that someone else is going to be able to have a new house for their family. And most loggers are family members, so that does make a difference.
yessir, it's state managed land and the theory is to remove the overstory so the oak stumps can resprout
@@naturetamer .... I was much younger and on the west coast, falling fir and spruce in 70's an we had to cut em 12 inch off the ground and same with the slash plus clean any water ways . Back breaking work, running up and down the hill. But.... God I loved those 2 years watching the sun burn off the morning fog and the beauty god made, then trying to leave it as good as we found it . I only worked select cuts , and been back there 10 years later.... Was bigger trees than before, what we took out actually gave more sun in and it just jumped. Just like that old logger said it would.
I would love to see some of your vidjoes, sounds like your a seasoned veteran
Climb that pole!!!
Looks like more fun on the slopes! Could use a bunch of those tops to finish off my firewood pile for next season, Joe. Stay safe, be careful, and always aware. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Whipple
Thank you sir, if you were closer I'd bring you some cull logs. Have a Merry Christmas & safe 2023!
Timber!! 💪
