Brings back memories from my youth in NZ. No safety back then, steel cap boots & a hard hat that was all. Whether you were on a saw, skidder, dozer, or a loader, all the same. Clarks were dangerous fun, and safety was, 'Grab that bar and lock yourself in', if it went arse up.... Love the sound of a 2 stroke screaming around the mountains under full load. I started on a 664, mid 1970s, Windfall in -30ish temps, base of the great southern alps, in 4-6 ft snow. Also trained on D6 Dozer, and Michigan 75B log loader. Then Australia for a year to defrost/warm up again. Back to NZ and onto 666 on the mountains a yr later. Nelson Area, as well as 668 on sand flats for the same boss. It was a unique game back in the day, now replaced by machines, that do everything, except the dishes. 🤨🤣
Amen Louie! There is a responsible approach to logging. One that you and the land benefits from. So awesome following your journey. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work!
@@rollingupmysleeves I know all about this Mr. powermodz. I opened up a firewood business near thunderbay using a treefarmer, jonesred 74cc 20inch bar and a stihl 40cc 16inch bar. although we sold poplar and birch not much of the oak here.
Rolling up your sleeves indeed. Skidded needs a PowerModz sticker for that extra 5hp. Can’t leave it behind, Louie! Loving this new channel and always a fan of PowerModz here in WASHINGTON state (the best Washington of the US;)
I wish motors could be quieter, even todays tractors are to loud for my taste. I cut all trash firewood down to 4" , only leave the good wood like future saw logs. good video........
Honestly I agree now, that skidder blew my eardrums out. I easily knew where it was when my guy was in the bush though. The little tracked skidders i have now with the gas engine are getting mufflers - nice and quiet. Thanks for watching.
I'm with you, I love learning and it was interesting watching this professional work that chainsaw and the skidder. Must have been a two-stroke motor as it was revving high. Thanks, great video!
Old 2 stroke detroit just screaming:) ... out of curiosity what did you get for land. I been looking into land in un organized townships. Price, on water,size, How far away from road has been what I have been looking at some are fairly cheep others still want 1 million for a postage stamp. I'm thinking a Alaskan mill a skidder will get me well on my way to having a little fun in developing and building my own land
You're going to have to go north for cheaper land - coeeeevide messed things up here with land prices - all the city people moving out of the city driving things up.

Looks beautiful, mine loves moving around the forest too. Its their natural habitat, and need to be protected 😊
Nothing like the sound of a screaming Detroit in the woods!
Lucky man! Working in those beautiful conditions!! With that beautiful skidded!

I did the same thing in northern Ontario back then. Not much safety concern! Minus 35%! My Timberjack did not have an enclosed cabin and no door.
Louie your putting the boy to work

Yes it was!
Those 2stroke diesels 😝😝
That guy is really getting through some work. Nice to see a decent fall of snow on the property.
Pure diesel power!!! Awesome looking skidder!!
Great video love the new channel I’ve been a fan of yours since the 12 elan mod I’ve always wanted to do it to my own but I love my 12 the way she is
Just curious on what tree species beavers munch on down in southern Ontario?
I've only ever seen Birch and Poplar and whatever shrubs are in my area!
They will eat anything along a pond basically. They really like poplar - but everything is on the menu
Sounds like an 8V71. She just revs to the moon! Great to see some snow too.
It does! It's the 353 2 stroker!
Hahahaha. 871. Lol. Too funny.
Love the detroit diesel skidder.
Powermodz swag me please.
Best winch in the buisness.
💯 percent
Nothing sounds like a Detroit diesel sound like they.are wound tite all the time
Do you think you will ever buy another skidder?
Yes for sure, I really miss it - but to be honest hopefully it will have a cummins -I don't think my ears can take the noise anymore...

bucking em up in 8ft. easy to scale bushcords that way
Yup!
skibo, holy crap, you're up late, sleep when you're dead.
All ways enjoyed cutting wood in a snowstorm!
Me too!
12:48 sled looks like a yammer hammer.
Yes it is!
I can tell by the front suspension
I WANT ONE!!!
