Really enjoy watching your equipment operate, I am and old equip operator so I enjoy this video very ,much. Please keep up this kind of videos, happy new year to your crew and family
I miss driving log trucks. Thats a good clean load of tree length and great looking equipment. I agree. Let the dozer do the work pulling the trucks to good ground. Them trucks work hard enough. Ground stays nice and trucks stay rollin to the mills.
Driver did a good job, knew when to let off and get a pull from the dozer unlike some of these morons out there that will floormat it until the the rears start hopping and snap an axle shaft.
What a beast of a truck! We have similar clay here in SW Georgia. That white/grey is what's called Fuller's Earth. It's what kitty litter is made from. As a matter fact ,Oil Dri Corporation has a large open pit mine here in Thomas County. Thanks for the great video.
One thing I have noticed about TDK is yall always try your best to keep the road in good condition. I have delt with several logging companies who do absolutely nothing to take care of the road, and they end up leaving loads of wood on the ground due to not being able to get it out. Good Job Tim CT3 and TDK
Boy I feel your pain, wet Clay is a pain in the... Dunno what's worse wet Clay or ice and snow. Like you said real easy to tear stuff up. Thanks for the video
Tim I like watching of your logging video's. Especially the ones with the heavy equipment in and I hope that one day I get chance to visit one of your jobs sight ok
Hauled off a lot of jobs. That every load was a job to get out of. Even one right off Bear Creek on pickwick lake. We had to be pulled up the hill. Then the 748 skidder would winch us back down it. Couple of trucks ripped out stuff. But they were also trying to get in by there self. No reason to kill a truck, when you have something doing the work for it.
Dog gone Tim, I didn't hardly know who you were behind that brush pile. It makes you look younger. I like the way y'all use the dozed to save your equipment. Ain't nothin hurts your entire drivelines as bad as spinning your wheels in mud or snow. Take it from a man who drove and main- trained his on equipment for45 years You did a great job on that video.😎
Awsome job! Love your Videos .Here in eastern canada they pull or push trucks all the time .Constant Battle with Mud or this time of year snow and ice .I have seen my buddy have to chain the skider to the back of the truck for breaking power on the hills covered in ice needed more traction skiders here run chains year around .My outher Friend crazy Jimmy Jones rolled a year old wester star down a bank last year and wrote it off.He wasn't hurt outher than his pride
Tim, I'm sure you've been to a 4 WD truck pull before, but have you ever seen a semi truck competition pull? It's bad to the bone! It looked like Danny had the left front about off the ground like he was goin for 300 feet!
Hay Tim we got some of that red clay dirt/ground it gets wet and you will have to put chains on graders to get traction lol 😂 that stuff is slicker than snot on a door knob man
Steel culverts don't need a whole lot of coverage, 6-8" is usually enough. Plastic pipes on the other hand need at least 12" and more preferably 18". 100 mile rock haul is pretty amazing! I flinch about having to haul it more then 15 miles and often times we are hauling excess rock away when building roads.
I dont know how long the roads been in but i have always been told you loose almost 2 inches of road material every year from traffic so maybe at one time the road had several inches more of material. The material looks like what they have in champlain valley lots of clay there as well but we have plenty of gravel pits to get road building material Have a good new years . 👍👍👍
Tim does running over the hill with the weight of the trucks loaded tighten up the ground so the trucks do not have to be towed after several trips? Working in wet clay sounds like a guy has to be creative with keeping your operation going. Thanks for the video.
Yep, lots of power. I sure do miss driving sometime. Loved my old Pete with the 13 speed Cat. That clay is a mess, do you use your tree tops to get better traction? Later
Did you ever get them front wheels on your grader fixed cotton top . that's some of that ole wet sticky clay like being on grease . like to watch your videos . Copenhagen from the deep woods on north east Texas. It's hard to get any traction in that stuff been in it many times
Im a New Subscriber To Your Channel And my parents were in the trucking business for a very long time, Along with a lot of my other close family members had trucking businesses as well and cutting fuel cost was important but keeping the same power or increasing it was a part of it as well... I've already watched a bunch of your videos over the past 3 days or so and I don't know much about the logging industry but didn't realize the amount of diesel fuel alone that your stuff would have to probably use each day but I figure it's quite a bit
That's the kind of guy I need to work for ain't trying to mess up his trucks. These guys here just want you to spin all the way out and when tires need to be changed they blame the driver and refuse to change them.
We have some areas around here that's Red Clay and if it gets wet.....just leave it alone cuz all it'll do is get Sloppy n Slick and there you'll be.Thats wild that there isn't a closer Rock Quarry bet a 100 mi Haul Bill would be Purrty!
Hmmm. No problem with your testosterone levels... Sure, these are torque monsters. But given the kind of work these trucks do, there must be lots of engines (Cat and other makers) that wouldn’t be up to the task. So why single out Tesla, which isn’t even designed to do this kind of work? Oh, on the subject of torque, did you catch the VW that set the record at Pikes Peak?
He almost made it,little bit faster or drier and he would have.When I worked construction the local ready mix plant used to dump all their concrete washout on our back lot.It worked great for toughening up the slick spots.
"Ain't nothin' like a Caterpillar engine!" Can't get that kind of pulling power with a Cummins or a Detroit. Nice truck and a good choice of powertrain.
Well Done . Hard To beat a 850 John Deere Dozer & A Cat Powered Pete . If I Was to buy a "New" truck now days it would be a glider kit like y'all built your Pete's . Not sure How far back y'all are going but even if a Concrete plant was near where you could truck in Crushed Concrete It would even cost a lot to Put Crushed Concrete down as a base Rock going that far back . Mack
Please be careful i lost my cousin James in a logging accident They went to fuel the dozer james was behind it and between it and the work truck, the dozer kicked into reverse and smashed his head and chest he was dead within the minute i arrived since i was about a mile away! :( Be careful brother Keep on keeping on haha
I would get fired for putting in pipes like that, we are required to have 12 inches of cover or more. as far as rock goes. that crazy that its so far away. we have to drill and blast to build some of the logging roads here in Oregon.
Love the “in the raw” day to day operating videos man. Its what its all about 👍keep it up Tim.
Really enjoy watching your equipment operate, I am and old equip operator so I enjoy this video very ,much. Please keep up this kind of videos, happy new year to your crew and family
Great stuff Tim..Take Care, Have a great upcoming weekend..
Good group of guys there mister. Looks like yall work well together.
Tim I sure don't miss those days. But I love watching other guys doing it.
Great video! Love seeing equipment work, thanks for sharing with us!
Enjoyed watching how hard it is to log. Tough vocation, lot of equipment and tough conditions thanks
Awesome video Tim. It’s good to see what all it takes to get the job done. You guys know what you are doing. It shows. Later
Very nice equipment really injoy your videos Retired Heavy Equipment Operator
Great logging crew. Love the video Mr. Tim. Hey those white chunks in the dirt. Bars of soap!
haha...great work. Ive done that a few times then have to get pulled by the delimber.
Tim I love Peterbilt trucks because are the best in the world
helps much with hub reduction when goes offroading with trucks. 50.000 rear end on one of my trucks so can handle some rough stuff hehe
Still subscribed your Chanel is awesome Tim thank you for sharing your videos....
Smooth operators all around. You can use all that power to get a lot done if you don't abuse it. Nice job, and nice commentary, clear info and no BS.
Real truckers never die. They just get a new Peterbilt.
nice little pull there
I miss driving log trucks. Thats a good clean load of tree length and great looking equipment. I agree. Let the dozer do the work pulling the trucks to good ground. Them trucks work hard enough. Ground stays nice and trucks stay rollin to the mills.
A lot of work goes into logging. Great video.
Yes sir
Great video tim I enjoy video like this one hope you had a great day today
Driver did a good job, knew when to let off and get a pull from the dozer unlike some of these morons out there that will floormat it until the the rears start hopping and snap an axle shaft.
DieselFuelOnly
In my experience the Power divider fails before the axle.

Love that narrow bumper on the front saves corners

Good Job Tim CT3 and TDK
Boy I feel your pain, wet Clay is a pain in the... Dunno what's worse wet Clay or ice and snow. Like you said real easy to tear stuff up. Thanks for the video
Here in western oregon, a culvert that shallow in the road wouldn't last a winter - washout. You guys have done that before! Nice video Cotton
Tim I like watching of your logging video's. Especially the ones with the heavy equipment in and I hope that one day I get chance to visit one of your jobs sight ok
Great video!!
he pulled that hill pretty good! nice work on maintaining that road too! looks good
I was surprised he went as far as he did.
cotontop3 I believe that was one of those real truck drivers.
boy that looks like she'll be slick with any rain !!!
Hauled off a lot of jobs. That every load was a job to get out of. Even one right off Bear Creek on pickwick lake. We had to be pulled up the hill. Then the 748 skidder would winch us back down it. Couple of trucks ripped out stuff. But they were also trying to get in by there self.
No reason to kill a truck, when you have something doing the work for it.
That old 772 John deer grader is a beast
Great video Tim you can't beat a peaterbuilt

Sounds good man yall do take care of your stuff I like that lol
Happy new year to you and your family . E W in Barbados w I .

8 dot tires r just bad ass when they pull they r just bad to the bone when the hot rob semi pull
Hi Tim, New Sub here. Enjoying your videos. Worked on the Big Rigs for a lot of years. Love those Kitty Cats the most!
Thank you
Hay Tim we got some of that red clay dirt/ground it gets wet and you will have to put chains on graders to get traction lol 😂 that stuff is slicker than snot on a door knob man
Ever try covering the slick spots with lime to harden it up a bit?
great video

Have a good new years . 👍👍👍
When the driver was getting pulled, is he in neutral letting the dozer pull 100% or is he in a gear helping?
Tim does running over the hill with the weight of the trucks loaded tighten up the ground so the trucks do not have to be towed after several trips? Working in wet clay sounds like a guy has to be creative with keeping your operation going. Thanks for the video.

P S. Had to redo my notifications on OLF this morning, they had turned me off.
That load of hardwood by the loader looks nice
Those are so good logs we pulling out
Hey man that was a cool video will u please make one more.
Did you ever get them front wheels on your grader fixed cotton top . that's some of that ole wet sticky clay like being on grease . like to watch your videos . Copenhagen from the deep woods on north east Texas. It's hard to get any traction in that stuff been in it many times
Love it horse power !!!!!! Napa mike
Good crew
What would that hill take 600hp 2050tq 15 deep reduction and some 4.11 5.11 rears?
Now there's a good driver !!! Does know when to let off it !!!. :)

Hi Sam, thank you and yeah we go through a good bit of fuel.
Great teamwork and make a little money too! Stay safe on the mud!

That's the kind of guy I need to work for ain't trying to mess up his trucks. These guys here just want you to spin all the way out and when tires need to be changed they blame the driver and refuse to change them.
Beast mode
Does that semi have the single turbo? What year is it?
Cool vid. .
that red clay slicker than eel snot we got here hard to deal with sometime
We have some areas around here that's Red Clay and if it gets wet.....just leave it alone cuz all it'll do is get Sloppy n Slick and there you'll be.Thats wild that there isn't a closer Rock Quarry bet a 100 mi Haul Bill would be Purrty!
Those Cats are torque monsters. See if that Tesla truck will do that.
Thegunnut1 is it true that CAT no longer makes diesel engines for semi trucks due to emissions regulations??
big yee yes. They stopped around 2009 I believe
Hmmm. No problem with your testosterone levels...
Sure, these are torque monsters. But given the kind of work these trucks do, there must be lots of engines (Cat and other makers) that wouldn’t be up to the task. So why single out Tesla, which isn’t even designed to do this kind of work?
Oh, on the subject of torque, did you catch the VW that set the record at Pikes Peak?
Tesla truck would out pull this easy
@@toyotanerd2269 no
Good video. Go Cat
That’s amazing not A rock to be seen. Ground here is so rocky you can barely drive A peg in the ground
Jason Crocker Yeah it's the same here in Bear Rocks Pennsylvania... and by Rocks they mean Peterbilt sized boulders!
How come you all don’t run Auto inflators on the trucks. Love your videos. Happy New Year.
You cough up 15k per truck and then rip it off either by a blowout or something on woods road grabs it.
cotontop3 I was just asking why you guys didn’t run them. I had seen other guys run them.
what brand log trailers yall run
I forgot for a minute why your weren't on the loader. You are on the harvester till Derrick gets back.
Awesomeness
Nice looking equipment. Not junky like most loggers equipment.
Just one question; how does torque sound ?
He almost made it,little bit faster or drier and he would have.When I worked construction the local ready mix plant used to dump all their concrete washout on our back lot.It worked great for toughening up the slick spots.
Do you have any logging toys?
Go dozer go!!!!
"Ain't nothin' like a Caterpillar engine!" Can't get that kind of pulling power with a Cummins or a Detroit. Nice truck and a good choice of powertrain.
you need wind and sun to dry that crap out. we have clay in Minnesota to.
Is there a reason you guys don't run a CTI system on the trucks to improve traction and tire wear?
A company tried it here and it wouldn’t work and I think at that time it was close to 15k cost per truck to get it installed.
Interesting. You don't see a truck here without it.
Dang , you all have a road grader also... Nice
Yes
Does the timber company pay you extra for doing the road work or is it just part of the job?
We get zero for road work.
New sub
Heck yeah, thank you!
Np
Need some sunshine!!
What size cat u got under the hoods of those Pete's ?
They’re set at 475hp.
Great video. How long are the trailers you all are running?
37’
Well Done . Hard To beat a 850 John Deere Dozer & A Cat Powered Pete . If I Was to buy a "New" truck now days it would be a glider kit like y'all built your Pete's . Not sure How far back y'all are going but even if a Concrete plant was near where you could truck in Crushed Concrete It would even cost a lot to Put Crushed Concrete down as a base Rock going that far back .
Mack
What made y'all go with a deere dozer over a cat? We run both I like the way the cat operates over the deere
Dealer support. If you don’t have dealer support, you better not buy it.
cotontop3 we use thompson in Northport.. they can be some crooked little boogers over there
What where's your load up here Canada I'd haul hay on two bunks
Which CAT engine do you run in the trucks?
Bud Lefebvre I think one of those newer Pete's has a 3406E.
Thanks, those C15 are nice engines. Tons of low end torque.
Ya'll run some good equipment
Those conditions show why you need an all wheel drive grader.
Man 100 miles is a long way for rock
It runs the cost up pretty quick.
almost looks like you all done that before
Please be careful i lost my cousin James in a logging accident They went to fuel the dozer james was behind it and between it and the work truck, the dozer kicked into reverse and smashed his head and chest he was dead within the minute i arrived since i was about a mile away! :( Be careful brother Keep on keeping on haha
Where is this anyone know?
I would get fired for putting in pipes like that, we are required to have 12 inches of cover or more.
as far as rock goes. that crazy that its so far away. we have to drill and blast to build some of the logging roads here in Oregon.
Boys almost
Dale jr
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Paccar built truck
cat engine
(hopefully) an EF 10/13/18 speed
not much screams quality other than that.
We need commercials like we need a hole in the head
Do you run into much red clay that doesn't pack just ruttes up. I call it rotten clay.
Yes we have that stuff.
