It’s hard to see where the lines are going and how the blocks are attached to the back of the trailer... but there wasn’t any one in harms way. The line hooked to the skidder was completely clear and blocked by timber from hitting the bystanders
All these Idiots are standing within the breach of the cables, If that cable had of broken, all of those guys could have been cut in half...While they did a good job of saving it, Safety needs to be Job One Here.
Yep. Looking again, they had to have a purchase to drag the lowboy and cat sideways, and yep, they’re in the bight. Granted, the block is up the hill some but no cat is worth losing a life!
thats because a chain when it breaks will usually dump the majority of its stored energy, but not all of it, where as a cable wont... I mean there's a movie on a boat dedicated to this principal.
Hard on the grapple rotator and knuckle. Would have been hooked directly to the back of the skidder if I were doing it. I have seen grapples torn off pulling too much weight. They do have design limits.
Should have hooked to the lower side of the trailer and the two guys standing behind the trailer are not to bright they should have been on the other side of the cable if by chance the cable broke free from the tree where is the cable going directly towards them
I really don't get it, that was a very successful recovery and yet every other comment on here is something negative about how you guys did it all wrong. People are annoying narcissistic pricks. Good job guys you did a hell of a job!!
It’s just human nature I guess.... how can one prove how smart he is without first proving how incompetent others are? It’s ok though....as the one responsible for fixing all these machines when they break down (or actually do go over the bank) I can take solace in knowing that this was indeed a good save and the best case scenario for all those involved👍
@@kennymay3855 I totally agree man. Typically the people always talking are the dumbest ones in the crowd. That was the definately the best case scenario and you guys handled it very well!
This was done all wrong. First I did not see a cooler of bud light and the people in the video with one in there hand open. Second, no loud music covering up the sounds of the work being performed. Third, the video did not shake and we miss the climax scene. Fourth is that nothing was damaged. Get back to me when all this gets corrected!

Excellent video that I’ll use to demonstrate standing in the bite.

Yep my thoughts exactly. These guys obviously aren't line loggers.

🙄
That wasn’t a save that was a recovery, and nicely done men
That wasn’t over the bank! The dozer is still on the trailer!
People looking to get cut in half
When I heard that pop, I flinched.
Is it just the angle, or are those gents in the bight?
First thing I thought. Looks like two blocks?
Yep. Looking again, they had to have a purchase to drag the lowboy and cat sideways, and yep, they’re in the bight. Granted, the block is up the hill some but no cat is worth losing a life!
Yep they're in the bight
I was expecting the dozer to snap chains and go, Great job on the save.
It has been claimed that a cable break is potentially more life threatening than chain break!
And they all standing beside it haha
thats because a chain when it breaks will usually dump the majority of its stored energy, but not all of it, where as a cable wont... I mean there's a movie on a boat dedicated to this principal.
Standing in the "V" ?
Agree, Yep, not thinking ahead. If the snatch block arrangement fails they`ll be eating cable.
Yes, very very very very very stupid.
That's a badass skidder
748G-III, I have the same machine except mine has a winch on back for days like this.
@@oldtimerf7602 I bet it's nice!
Is over a bank and somewhat off the road the same?
Hard on the grapple rotator and knuckle. Would have been hooked directly to the back of the skidder if I were doing it. I have seen grapples torn off pulling too much weight. They do have design limits.
👍totally agree.... I’ve since added a hitch plate to the back of this skidder!
Nice job!
I thought the cable might have snapped!
Nice save!!!!
Should have hooked to the lower side of the trailer and the two guys standing behind the trailer are not to bright they should have been on the other side of the cable if by chance the cable broke free from the tree where is the cable going directly towards them
Why would u stand so close ,to the line while the trailer is being pulled out??
No doubt, I was thinking the same
Definitely not the brightest light bulbs in the box....asking for a decapitation
You pulled it from the wrong corner of the trailer, should have been the low side.
LIARS!
nicely done... Yes....
Thank you kindly
Very Good!
That was awsome
Way too long. Shorten those cables up.
Truck driver's and there pointy boots
USE THE MIRRORS
I'm Glade they saved it
Like moving a sled rig, just hang more riggin'
bad ass......
You can walk that cat right off the side that bank isn’t that steep move the trailer and walk right up on the road these guys lol 😂

@@RHD919 when you're staring at a tree, you're not seeing the whole forest! There were much safer places to stand!
over what bank .. still on the trailer and if the truck went forward it could of done the same thing ,,
I've ran the g3 before

Why are they standing in the bight?
