Sustainable Clear Cutting: Ponsse Ergo H8 in Dormant Aspen & Hardwood Forest | Wisconsin Logging
Переглядів 46921 день тому
The land I’m cutting was clear-cut 30 years ago and hasn’t been managed since. The hardwood here is super dormant, and we’re now working to bring it back to life by cutting to Wisconsin MFL specs. This involves cleaning up the area and adding four clear cuts for aspen regeneration. We’re also doing a leave-tree select cut, where we remove many stems but leave the trees that will eventually grow...

That's an eNtree... Sorry someone had to.
😂🎉🎉
So cool. These are so powerful robots ,❤
Looks like sooo much fun !!!!!!❤
😂
Also keep up the videos
As a forester would say ( removing the over story) no clear such thing as clear cut
Post more videos like this.
Something seems weird about that hose routing....the way the bottom of one cylinder feeds the top of the other? Once the left side lifts, there's no place for the fluid in the "bottom" side of the right cylinder to go...so yeah, it wouldn't move, and yeah, it seems like the fluid would be getting forced past the seal in the right cylinder (but not necessarily because of a failure). I'm not an expert, but it seems like those cylinders need to be in parallel if they are meant to lift together...whereas now they are in series. Long story short....something seems goofy with the hose routing. I could be wrong though. Edit: I compared to some others on Google images, and the hose routing seems the same. So, I dunno? Maybe it is an air bleed issue, and it just needs to be cycled a bunch of times? I don't quite understand what the oil path is from the inlet on the right side...somehow past the seal, to the right outlet(bottom)....which is then connected to the inlet on the left cylinder?
We’re pretty positive it blew the packings out on the new cylinder… Or someone cleaned there old one up and a parts man took it back as a “new” cylinder and ended up coming to us. Either way pretty upset.
@@kopitzke55 It does seem to point to that cylinder. I can see how fluid gets to the top of the right cylinder...but I'm confused how it ends up between bottom right, and top left. It seems like there'd have to be a way to bleed that system....or for fluid to pass the seal initially, to fill up that side. I mean, I understand how compressing the bottom right will apply pressure to the the top left...but how does that side get filled up initially? I'm probably mentally missing something, like some sort of internal check valve...or something.
@@42anon427 it can be done with a duplex cylinder, basically a valve opens allowing bypass only when the cylinder is fully extended.
The 2nd cylinder is filled with oil dead heading the 1st. All air needs to get bleed with both cylinders retracted. Usually there is a bypass valve between the ports on the first cylinder to equalize the 2 cylinders
Right side lifted one time. Left wouldn’t. Think it blew the seal again, and now the left side lifts and right it junk. I bled all air. Hose routing is correct double checked that all.
@@kopitzke55I would think the right cylinder should be a duplex cylinder, look them up there are some good videos how they work. Basically a port should open allowing oil to bypass to the 2nd cylinder only when the 1st is fully extended. When the 2nd cylinder is full with no air it will equalize with the first and always move in sync. It is very important that the displacement of the rod side of the first cylinder match the displacement of the 2nd cylinder. The same effect can be accomplished with a standard cylinder with a manual bypass valve. You can test for bypassing by removing the hose to the 2nd cylinder and feeding oil to the top of the first.
might need a flow restrictor in one of your hoses
Yeah idk wtf is going on there
A 40 INCH TREE THATS A PILE OF JUNK ? GET ANOTHER JOB . YOUR GUESSING ..
@@kolloduke3341 hmm… look at the big bad UA-camr. I’ll measure it and upload a video.
Trash, isn’t worth anything probably cost you money to cut it!!!!
Cost was to the environment 😕
Looks like she just got done giving that hawk tuah!
Ginger Billy did it best........ sorry
Think they are going to get more views by showing their as
Mines pretty big haha 🤣
Your ass ain't near as good lookin as hers
Looks like a thunder nova too 😂
Why the fuck did she stand like that? Tbh I think the fella has a nicer arse haha
Maintenance Monday 🤝👍 Greets from Finland, Scorpion harvester. Nice to change the oil under 500hours. 600h is the maintenance prefer. Have a nice day my friend!
Damn! I love those old Clarks
I sure miss nice red oak
Don't know anything about Clark but it sounds like a hydraulic pump thats starving for oil, does it have free flow whit oil from the tank? If its a pump in the transmission it should be a suction strainer in the bottompart of the transmission that also can be clogged.
Hydro pump
Probably a broken spring shoes dragging in drum
Could be alot of stuff does it move or hydraulic work could be fiber gear 4 torque converter is breaking up 😂
Drives good. Just sounds like shit, noise is under the air filter down there where is says hyd pump. I don’t know a lot about this skidder. We traded it for a machine 8 years ago and have had tons of problems with it.
Pull hydraulic pump few nuts on studs if looks good probably in torque there's a fiber ring on flywheel that torque slides in to breaks might be simple or not pull that little plate off so you can hear and feel
Coupler
Got any part numbers for a poor soul? 🤣 or a dealer that knows their stuff?
Sounds like a hydro pump.
The stater keeps kicking the stater in could be a short ate a bad switch a place to start.
bad coupler!
Hydrostatic coupler stripped
it's all ball bearings.
Whatcha mean??
Your only as good as your horse
I can feel you. The Buffalo always behind us 😅
Cool trucks!
nice to see Ponsse logging videos also outside of Finland. thanks for this video. Like the mood.. music and peaceful working. greets from Finland!
Glad you enjoyed it! Our favorite machines. Just purchased our 5th one.
@@kopitzke55 Ponsse is great. I operate the Scorpion
I miss cutting hardwood.
Sound would be great!
Checking into it.
I was having that problem with the GEM bars. Couldn’t get a week out of them. Everything else was great. Iggersund rails chipped on me. Everyone swears by GB but I just can’t bring myself to buy one….yet
Try the gb bars.
Iggesund blue line is quite good bar.
Yeah, until the tips start blowing. I never had good luck with them. Maybe they've improved them since
Careful! Tigercat egos are fragile!
Oh I know. They get really fired up on the other media platforms.
@@kopitzke55 there's a guy in Oregon that will be sure to give you his opinion if he sees this video lol
New forwarder?
Yes. Buffalo king
New harvester there?
Same one we’ve had for awhile now.
Where are you guys located? State ?
Central Wi
I am looking to get in to the industry, but unsure of the bidding process on private and state lands. I plan on hand cutting the timber and have a skidder to pull logs to the landing. Not sure if you could give me any recommendations on the bidding process. I'd like to start off with some smaller jobs until we become more proficient @@kopitzke55
Sorry I never replied to this. Call around and figure out what local companies are paying per cord or ton. Be around that. Aren’t many loggers left. Should find some wood to cut easy. Hope you’re doing well.
Nice! How many hours on that head?
Not sure carrier has 13k 2018 head.
Looks real good for a 13k machine 👍
Smart
