Just a dude working in the logging industry. I attempt to make content that looks and feels authentic to the logging experience.
Testing the Grinder at an Amish Sawmill
Testing out the Rotochopper grinder while making Amish heads turn. We troubleshoot various issues, handle heavy bundles, and attempt to light the grinder on fire once again.

Logs Stuck Behind Miles of Thawed Out Ice Road
Переглядів 3 тис.5 місяців тому
In this video, we'll show you the challenges we faced when logs got stuck behind a thawing logging road during the warmest winter on record. The uncertain weather made it difficult to navigate and caused delays in our logging operation. Watch how we were able to overcome these obstacles and continue working despite the challenges. #UncertainWeather #ChallengingWinter #ThawingLoggingRoad

We take out a beaver dam that is killing nearby trees. No beavers were harmed. Temperatures continue to stay above freezing, causing an early end to the logging winter season.

Frozen Trailer And A DOT Cop Pulls Me Over....Rough Week
Переглядів 7 тис.8 місяців тому
Due to a cold snap catching me unawares, my load froze and required me to shovel for 3 hrs. Finished another sale for the time being but a cop pulls me over on my last load, late in the day.
2 days to finish the job before Thanksgiving with a DOT officer sniffing around
Переглядів 47 тис.9 місяців тому
With fortunate weather and a deadline to beat, we slap out the rest of the chipwood. A DOT officer was in the area and we were concerned about being overloaded and then pulled over. It was a short haul and we were probably fine with our weight but he didnt seem to find our route. I worked the first day completely exhausted.

Has your processing head done the same amount of hours as the base machine?
Do you prefer a wheeled or tracked processor
Great video I own a circular mill and I have a rotochopper it’s old but works good we bought it from a Amish fellow in Kentucky good machines
Grinding tge bands wasn't an issue? Ever sell popple to LP in Hayward?
Not a problem for the grinder the bands were plastic. It might be an issue for mulch however. And ya, we ship to LP all the time with our independent truckers
Nice video 👍
Thanks! 👍
By far the best videos on UA-cam. I always love seeing your stuff pop up
Aha I'm not sure about that but thanks for the high praise!
That grinder is a beast!
Where are all the Amish jokes you could’ve made Chippediah?
Chippediah 🤣🤣 love it
@@waynehershey is this a Morbark chipper?
Rotochopper
@@waynehershey it was one of them. I just wasn’t sure. Almost the same paint job.
The quality of your Videos is just something else... great Video as always!
Thanks again for the kind words!!
Congrats on the little one
Rodney!!
2nd clip is sugar cane. 3rd clip is a Pacific P16. The Headache rack is a water tank for cooling the brakes. Those Russian skidders are TDT-55s and might have started out life as artillery tractors.
Those Russian skidders are similar to an FMC skidder. Or KMC as they’re known today. Torsion bar suspension on the road wheels
Ah very true. Interesting machines
Do you log around Ashland
We've probably logged within 30ish miles of ashland
Some nice oak your cutting do have markets for oak pulp just curious but I see you have a chipper to . I am retired now but live in northern Wisconsin.
What part of Wisconsin were you working in .
We work mostly in Sawyer, Bayfield, Douglas, Washburn counties
Loved the video. Had to have been one of the wildest winters for logging that I can remember in my 23 years of doing it.
Know we know how ice road truckers felt .God bless yall real good..
The way the last few winters have been, you have to keep your wood hauled out as you go.
Hello, Nice video. Here back in Holland we have the same problem. Good luck man😀
Hey thanks and good luck to you as well
Great video Wayne! We put in some night shifts to forward the wood we are cutting out to good ground too. Didn’t finish before the thaw… oh well lol
Thanks and what can you do i guess..
South of ya a few hours, we got 2 weeks on a winter job and that was it. Moved back to a summer/fall sale until oak wilt restrictions hit. It worked out ok for us but less than ideal "summer/winter/spring" for sure
less than ideal is a good way to put it lol
I feel your pain man in a similar situation in Maine .
ya take care man
Great Video as always! Had a pretty hard Winter aswell here in germany. Tons of rain, just a few days with cold weather and we had a really big Problem with floodings between christmas and New years.
interesting, wonder whats been going on with the weather this winter
Started cutting for a guy back in November on a state job to help him finish off the last month of work, took us until the start of February to finally move machinery off
no kidding thats rough, take care out there
Winter here in Ontario was a joke aswell, winter logging was short
been a strange winter. last winter it was constant snow. this winter, next to nothing
We can blame Willard for messing up the logging road decorations. He may not be the one but we can still blame him for it because its fun. And winter aint over yet. Its going to get cold again. Trust me its a trap.
I can support blaming Willard 👍🤣
haha ya lets do that. and i agree wisconsin is ornery and will slap us around with cold snaps 💯
I'm a fake logger, but my entire winter was condensed down to 3 weeks in January. Glad that couple day cold snap helped you out.
about the same here, usually its 3 months of winter
I’m a logger from north Idaho been a shitty warm winter here to been laid off since the 3 week in January
It's a rough one take care man
Spring breaker always a bitch west coast logging like your videos keep them coming stay safe
Thanks and you too!
Where do you guys cut were down in st.croix,Dunn,Barron and Polk counties
sawyer, douglas, bayfield mostly
Great videos man I’m a logger in northern Michigan and always look forward to watching your videos
Amazing video as always! Keep it up
Great job as always!
Bad ass way to get rid of that problem man ! Keep up the great work and content 👊🏻
Crazy (non)winter we're having. Great music at the end.
A very interesting winter and thanks for the feedback
I have a 500 keto it can tilt down by running the bar out or have a button to tilt. The button helps cutting brush. It also dose not use a wheel for length the encoder is on the track feed very seldom dose it spin.
A keto 500, interesting I'll have research that
You do know the logmax comes with a slide hammer to remove all pins. You don’t even remove cotter pins you shear them off. The logmax has always had this. Im sure there are at least 2 of these laying in tour dad’s shop
Ya I've used them, still a hassle compared to a more open head like a waratah
The 622 harvester head is getting on a bit now. More than 5000 622 harvester heads have been made. Axis Forestry (Kamloops & Idaho)do some aftermarket parts for them see 'Rebuilt waratah processor heads by Axis Forestry'youtube video. Axis's Cypress Robotics Gen5/6 control systems can replace the waratah, south star etc control systems. To move on from Waratah you might be looking at other heads such as Axis's Rebel head built on the knowledge of making waratah replacement parts, the Ponsse (Rhinelander,wi) heads in the range of H7 to 'New H8' etc. The artificial intelligence can pick up the 'fire stick' imagery at the end of the video, might be preferable not to show such a device.
Interesting ya we've ordered parts from axis good people to work with. Sometime I should price out their cypress control system. "firestick" haha
Great video bud! Our winter on the east coast has been about the same with mud
Thanks ya it feels like spring in January. Things are starting to thaw around here
You've got some good content
I appreciate that
