If you switch to a flap disc for touching up the knives, it will keep them cooler and help keep from taking the temper out of them. Grinding disc will get it hot enough that the edge is sharp when your done but will lose its temper and will need to sharpen sooner since it’s not as hard
How do you tell when the chain is dull
Hard to tell in wood that size. In bigger wood, the chip size will become smaller, saw will slow down, leave lazy straps, and will split the log if unsupported.
What are those sticks for? Pulp?
Hewsaw mill, (boards, and chips). Stumpage is double pulp price.
What do you call a basement full of loader operators A whine cellar
The real question is how many times has that skidded flopped on its side?! JK 😜 nice video!
Poor old swinger has been over a few times.

Good ,fast operator. Greeting from Québec.
How do I get logs to stay in rollers better when reverse feeding? Lower knife pulse need to be lowered?
Been a year since I've ran one, and never considered myself a expert with the computer. So you've been warned. You could tighten up just the bottom knife, or less pulse on that knife, or loosen the main knives. As I remember there is adjustment on that bottom knife for flare, or the amount that bottom knife closes on a new stem. I remember opening the main knives at times when reversing. Try not to reverse after zeroing the saw, your measurements will suffer. Keeping the knives sharp helps with this. If you can't get it sorted, give Log Max a call at three60 six99 730zero. They helped me many times. Good luck!
So sick!
I see those trucks all the time on our road always wondered how they did that
waratah will look good on the machine did you guys ever run their heads?
Nope. Ran logmax for 14 years, and had a lako before that.
nice boat looks set up good what pitch prop and how high above pad are u running i just got a 85ltv light layup with a 260hp looper
What company are you working for
A shy one, that would rather not be named. Take care, be safe.
ah all good was just wondering if they where still in business@@weilfast
@@hunteryt2462 Last I heard they had sold the processor, loader, and had the rest of the equipment for sale. Had a good run, but good strips are getting hard to find.
Better Look For New Job Logging Is All Done,No More Logging
Thanks for the advice, but I retired last spring. I've seen many changes in the industry during my career, and I'm sure there will be more in the near future. If you don't adapt you get left behind. One thing is a given,.. the need for wood products is not going away, and trees are still growing.
That's pretty danged efficient. How often is there a wait on the skidder?
It happens,... usually when the ground is real steep, but we usually had two skidders on site. Most of the time everyone had plenty to do. The company I worked for was well polished with two owner operators, and long term employees, since retired.

I remember .styr. head. Round blade. Was good system .
Mixed wood hardwood and softwood?
Does someone plough the driveway for you in the winter time?
We plow with a grader, or dozer. If haul road is more than five miles the mill takes care of it,....sometimes.
@@weilfast yeah, the mill doesn’t do anything for my company. I just go out there with a shovel and hand shovel it lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥵
I’m a new subscriber thanks for posting!!
Great video thanks for sharing! I’m possibly buying a logmax 7000 for my little Gyppo side. I’m out of north Idaho.
Thanks! Ours may be for sale. Located near you.
Will the tops and limb be chipped.
awesome video!
What length are the logs ?
Multiples of 8 or 9' up to 37' .
I realize it's super easy to criticize someone else's operation, but everywhere I've operated loader or processor, it's always been the skidders responsibility to push what brush it can to clean out the landing, then when the skidder can't push any more the loader climbs the pile and swings it away and piles it higher. Obviously the loader can be busy elsewhere, but it looks like it was just kinda futzing around here and had the time if he wanted.
@@weilfast that's the best idea I've heard yet
That's definitely an Idaho stunt putting long stuff up high on the truck. It's hard to get away with anything more than 20s on the truck and 25's on the pup in Washington
Trying to get a cedar load up to weight, and still have access to the pintel hitch. I've logged alot in Washington state also.
@@weilfast gotcha. I hated loading cedar. Drivers would complain if you took too much time fiddling around to get absolutely as much as possible on, but then they'd complain that they weren't up to weight. Dealing with truck drivers was the worst part of running loader for me.
You're in Idaho right? I'm about an hour north of Spokane. I worked around plummer Idaho two years in late summer when Washington was shut down for fire season.
Nailed it. Right next door to your place.
Good morning 👍
👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Hmmmm.... looks alot like the big bustling metropolis of Westmond and Cocolalla lake.
How many loads a day do you process
Do you ever have any issues with the Cab staying Cool in the Summer ?
This machine was built in 2014 and ac is marginal even when new. The Cat 320 I ran before had much better ac.
@@weilfast I put a 2” piece of Styrofoam on the Roof that made a big difference. 2654D. Didn’t know if I was the only one…
I have a piece of cardboard inside my skylight, also use a long air gun to clean the ac radiator out regularly. Ac on loader is lackluster also. The 848 skidder has awesome ac
@@weilfast get the Reversing Fan on your Next one!!!!
It has auto reverse on the main radiator/coolers, but ac is behind the cab with electric fans, sucks hot air. JD advertise a redesigned system. Maybe the new ones are better?
The Poor Tail! 😢
Would a 2156 have enough power to Run Hardwood? Have you ever ran a Waratah? Just curious. Thanks!

Sloppy decks and slow af 🤷🏻♂️

Alot fuel, equipment payments, maintenance, payroll, stumpage ! No profit.
I guess when all the blowbucks go bankrupt, you can wipe your nose with a plastic bag.
👍👍👍
I love it, a processor guy that can sort without a loader present and don't make the skidder wait till each drag is processed.
Seems a lot more efficient than other methods. Must be other issue's in the view that this is wasteful.
Alot of expensive diesel fuel being burned for some small pecker poles !
10-4.
Nice work! You're keeping the skidder man on his toes. Is that a thinning/group selection cut? Looks like a lot of snow, and more on the way from the look of it. Thanks, be safe out there.
We run cut to length with a harvester and forwarder. That log max is fast and smooth and so is your operating. I run a cat 501hd with fixed head. Cut mostly hardwood works well but not as fast
👍👍👍
