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!

"Nesting" a Black Walnut, Experience Matters!

to whoever catches it. . . I did realize the first tree was an oak, as I was topping it, 😂! in my defense, my buyer made a "double take" as he was scaling it! the bark was so" walnut like". the leaves looked a little walnutish even in the beginning of the vidjoe.
Why you should get an experienced cutter to harvest your black walnut...

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...
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.
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!! 💪
Now that's a skidder load cowboy!!
Nice!
The chain saw gives me flash backs to texas chain saw massacre movies. Hahaha nice fell
Nice drop 💪
Most skidders I ever operated in western PA, and particularly in Fayette and Greene Counties, had the vinyl on the seats all tore up from the operators clenching their behinds on too steep and too narrow skidder trails…! LOL
Watch that first step it's a doozy 😳
Wow that's a cool location stay close to the ground!!
Wow that's cool 😎
Great video nice sprayer!
That parsnip is wicked stuff.
yessir
Did he start with a plunge cut? He had barely started cutting on the upper side when it broke loose. But normally the notch is the first cut so you can establish a hinge.
Yup, no hinge. . . no stump pull either. no, it's not safe. no, I don't recommend you do it that way. I learned a loooong time ago not to try to tell a logger how to do his job... stay safe, mind yourself.
Lotta hardwood timber had been harvested via stump jumping. All it is is bucking the tree off the stump. Come in from the front and as long as you cut out at least half of the compression wood, the tree can no longer chair. I used to do it when I had a lot of hickories to send down the hill.
Looks like a “funny” sprinkler! I do similar to a “dry “ corn area with a 1000 gallon nurse tank a few times a week! Love it!
Awesome thank you! I recently bought a land pride batwing and my 4020 only has one remote so what I’ve done is put a T for my wings and hook it up along with the pressure hose on the main up and and down and have the return hose rolled up and tied to the main gear box out of the way. My land is fairly flat with a few dips and dives but so far I haven’t had any issue!
it's pretty easy to add a second remote
@@naturetamer it’s definitely on my to do list! I have another 4020 that has 2 remotes but I’m in the process of fixing some issues with it then it’ll be the now tractor!
What happened?!
under a full water load, the wheel... absconded! wtf!! it's always an adventure! 😂
I am pretty danged sure I saw this on some channel from a third world country and there was a running donkey pulling the cart! Great footage, Joe! Cheers! Whipple
shhh🤫 don't tell! I have to get my content somewhere..
@@naturetamer Funny as $#it, Joe!
Great video 😎
Nice, love seeing the dozer work👍
Wow that looks like a real good time!!😎
Faster drive faster!
