I'm glad I don't have to work in the cold like you guys do.In my younger days I worked for a small town plowing crew.It's no fun replacing the feed chain on a sander outside during a snow storm.I have a lot of respect for those who work in those conditions!
I especially hated the tailgate sanders.The old dump trucks had no down pressure in the hydraulics.If you tipped the dump body too far,it wouldn't drop on it's own.That was always fun to fix!
No one appreciates how hard you guys work out in the woods day in and day out. I'm across the country in Rhode Island. Logging ended over here back in the 1960's. Now it's all housing developments. Enjoy the Weekend Dave!
Awesome video David. The duals really make skidder wide. I'm glad you're feeling better. Really like that your sense of humor is still around. You're a great person to be around.i always looking for your next video.look forward to them.
@@davidhaley7053 Yea they are a pain and kinda hard to move down the road but they sometimes make the difference between moving wood and sitting at the shop. The bills don't stop due to mud.
@@davidhaley7053 Been several years ago (mid 80,s)and I was a truck driver. They were 518 machines and we ran a chipping/logging operation. If I remember they were standard sizes I guess and the duals were the same size. Mostly remember hauling them on the low boys and how they would really go when it was wet. Kept the paychecks coming when others sat in the shop due to bad weather.
Only thing I could think was man his ears got to be ringing being inside that rim with the impact running, then you started singing and I kinda envied him! 😂😉
Good morning Dave!!😀😀 Hopefully it stays cold up by you guys!! It's going to be in the 40's down here this weekend. We will probably lose all of our snow and what little frost we have. There is only a couple of inches of both here. Hopefully you get to feeling better soon!! I fought that stupid cold for almost a month before it was completely gone. Take care and stay warm!! Your friend Al.
How do you like that John Deere loader? And man! The bucket on it must be bigger than it looks to be able to open up wider than the diameter of that tire!
It is interesting you suggested getting back to work after putting the duals on - was that considered a coffee break? so glad I log for fun not for a living.
David you think maybe you need to rest a little to fight that cold you start way before daylight and get done after dark and I would be a betting your responsibilities don’t end there as always thanks for the video get well
Looks like a drag car. 'Enjoy your day and be safe' he says. Boy Howdy he ain't followed YOU around much! Sorry you still with the crud. Probably from that soggy swamp. I can't handle a soggy swamp. Can't handle a swampy swamp either BUT take a wild guess how much rain we had last year (18 I think it was). The airport had 100 inches and broke their record, we had 150+. Going green here is molding away. And I saw a person at Wally World a while back that looked a lot like that skidder with a chain-drive wallet. Get some rest if you can.
Let it be known. Dragging a chain is a damn site easier then pushing one. Humour on point as usual. Thanx David. 👍
Thanks and you're right!
Nice to hear you haven't changed your sense of humor.
Only way that'll happen is if his head falls off and it'd laugh about it anyway.
There's 50 comments liking my commentary vs ones that don't. I can live with that. Thank you

Mark Morris hello , I used antique road equipment too ......great time to be alive !

Mark Morris lol those damn chains were pretty sliding along the road behind ya , I painted mine safety orange so you could find it GOOD TIMES
mrbakerskatz-Thet sure were! All I could see in the mirror was that chain flopping like a fish out of water!
Things a beast now! Added Nistler I like the drone vids!
It is.
I've met Tim before and see their trucks quite often.

Thanks Brad. You too
Jokes are getting better with your cold going away
Thanks...I think... Lol
What a lucky man to drive that fine skidder !!!
Yes he is! Thanks
Bet she floats now across the swamp , hahaha you guys are a hoot gotta have fun otherwise it’s boring have a great weekend
Nothing wrong with fun. 👍
David Haley makes life easier and memories better
Awesome video David. The duals really make skidder wide. I'm glad you're feeling better. Really like that your sense of humor is still around. You're a great person to be around.i always looking for your next video.look forward to them.
Thanks Larry
1:40 bucket on the loader 😂😂😂
It’s “grapples” out here in Washington state and the rest of the west coast
Yeah. I've been chastised for that. The grapple is what's on the back of the skidder... Lol
Those are a pain in good weather never mind snow and ice. Now you need them for the front. We run them front and rear on the Cats.........
We only did that once.
@@davidhaley7053 Yea they are a pain and kinda hard to move down the road but they sometimes make the difference between moving wood and sitting at the shop. The bills don't stop due to mud.
No they don't unfortunately!
What size tires are on the skidder and what size duals do you use?

Ouch. That hurt but I can't blame you 😂😂😂
We had to dual our cutter and skidder up this week too
Then you know how much they help!
Yes sir
Good on you David ,really nice . Thanks
Thank you
That skidder is bad ass now!!!
Hahaha 👍
Won’t be able to miss a single stump now haha! But the flotation will be grand!
Hahaha 👍. You're right!

Your friend Al.
A month?? I'm much better but still coughing.
Beast mode now.
For sure!
Youre the man mr Haley
What are the different size tires you running?
Thanks.
35.5 on the machine. Duals are 30.5
i should do that !
It's the new fad! All the cool kids are doing it 😂
Can't find tims channel
Duals look good on the skidder
It sure looks different with them on!
How do you like that John Deere loader? And man! The bucket on it must be bigger than it looks to be able to open up wider than the diameter of that tire!
So far so good.
Please send the cold & snow ❄️ I’m sick of mud & rain!
I'll try... But I'm not good at that either!
why aint you use the same size tires
We want most of the stress to be closer to the hub. Outside tires touch when needed.
tiss the season for dualing up , the warm temps - not good
Yes sir!
Nice
Thanks
@@davidhaley7053 your welcome
quadruple stuffed timberjack 😆
Hahaha 😂
It is interesting you suggested getting back to work after putting the duals on - was that considered a coffee break? so glad I log for fun not for a living.
We ended up doing it through our lunch.
Spiffs the smart one
First time I've heard that! I'm kidding. He had the easy job that day!
David you think maybe you need to rest a little to fight that cold you start way before daylight and get done after dark and I would be a betting your responsibilities don’t end there as always thanks for the video get well
I'll be ok. Thank you though!
Looks like my exwifes back side
Ouch!

He didn't even get my sign off correct despite my coaching... Lol
@@davidhaley7053 We're just the only ones there iz!
Bet that skidder will go now
One end will float.
It helps a lot!
is the outer wheels being smaller done on purpose (if so why) or is that just what you had? cool video send the cold
nuts319 gives support in soft ground, still turns normally on hard.
Great answer!
hey dave you got diferent size rubber on there for duals .... hows that work out
Works good. Most of the stress is closer to the hub and it still turns good.
Must take awhile to getem on Napa mike
I think it took about 90 minutes.
All in a day's work? I need a set of those in 10 1/2 wide side i won't fall in to the swamps.
Your swamps must be soft! Good luck Austin!
Are those 30.5 on the outside 35.5 on the inside?
Yes
Thanks for the help Garrett!
The tires look uneven
They are!
David Haley can u do something about It or no
@@johncassiol6406 it's on purpose. Then you put most of the stress on the inner wheel. It also turns better.
that would be fun going down hill take the rim out and your all set
Not me!!! I'll take the video 😎. Just kidding, don't ever do that!
Looks like my wife's rear end
Ouch!
Do you just run the duels on the back or all the way around some times should help out alot with the swamp area. Keep up the great videos
Starting to look like some of Bobby Goodsons stuff!
We only use them on the back.
