Spruce4 Yeh, figured that was the case. I’ve got two wood lots and my own skidder and I can’t afford to cut the stuff. Worse of course by hand but branches every 4” makes for a lot of time and labor into a wheeler load that’s nearly worthless after trucking. I’ve got a few nice stands of cannon barrel hemlock I’m saving for a barn someday but otherwise I’d be happy to exterminate every stem of it from my property..
Awesome I use to love working in the woods!!
Thanks I appreciate your comment.
thats real good for a couple of guys !
Thanks dale its working pretty well for us just probably going to have to replace the forwarder
Ur running that 822 👍very good. Looks like that Tigercat is running top notch.
Thanks I appreciate it
nice set up buddy ! i like that t.g . nice ! great vid spruce !!!
The tigercat is an animal, youd fall in love😃
Nice machine. That tree that broke must have been pretty big that two trees didn't fit👍
Yeah its was decent size .
That does look like some good wood ! AC
It's kinda average wood in our are5
would you go with a bigger forwarder or the same size?
Buncher cutting in front is much faster all the way around ... most definitely Pays for it self
I think so. I like it way better just need to update the forwarder now
How much cost do you think it adds to the job cutting with the buncher with the extra float cost and all?
I'm not a 100 percent sure, but its definitely not that bad considering the gain in production
What do you do with all that hemlock and random trashy wood? I assume most of that gets chipped or tree length delivered for biomass?
Hemlock logs don't pay much, most of it goes to the paper mills.

Yes definitely a lot of work. A little easier for us with our equipment for sure.
Slow motion lol
