    Wow, what a fantastic little machine, wish I had it here in Oregon on my cleanup job's. I follow a few loggers, and cleanup the logs they leave behind .

      Oh ya that's a great idea...lots of good wood left behind I've seen.

    When I was a kid in the 80’s in New Brunswick we had a J5 with the tracked trailer to go behind it and cut firewood in 4 foot lengths. It would go anywhere. In the 90’s, my girlfriend’s dad had the larger Bombadier and we would pull out tree length.

    That unit is awesome, looks like a Deere logging arch but can’t make out what kind of winch it’s sporting.
    Like any piece of equipment you will find out where it works well and doesn’t. It wouldn’t mind a bit more snow to smooth out the ride. Looks perfect for pulling small wood quickly, such as trees for fence posts or rails.

    • @rollingupmysleeves
      @rollingupmysleeves  3 роки тому

      Yes a JD arch on it, more snow would be handy for sure. Pulling conifers would be great for this machine.

    Is this a J5? My dad used them in the 70's in Newfoundland just before the Timberjack and John Deere skidders came on the scene.Hough and Tree Farmer skidders were popular too.

    • @rollingupmysleeves
      @rollingupmysleeves  2 роки тому +1

      It's not quite a J5, this was a purpose built machine by Bombardier - the Ram Skidder. Thanks for watching!

    Hand right near that winch on board. Careful there.
    Add a few chain notches in the rear to hook log chain to when dragging.. give the drum brake a relief.

  • @Erated78

    I think I prefer this machine over the larger skidder - seems to run quieter, can fit in and out of smaller areas and can work like hell. Looks like the larger machine has way more torque though. Lots of dead Ash, wow! Thanks

      You can thank the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle for the dead ash trees. Here in Ottawa, Ontario the municipal government has cut down a lot of the ash trees in the city. As far as I know Rolling Up My Sleeves bush lot is not far from Ottawa.

    Learning this tonka toy to turn loose of the turn at the right time and then hoist in the turn while still moving, which is a option I don't think you have with this machine. Because I see you stopping to pull the turn on up to the back again. I know its better than nothing but a argo is not much after a few turns it shows, what it doesn't like well at all.

    • @rollingupmysleeves
      @rollingupmysleeves  3 роки тому

      Hey thanks for watching. The winch brake is loose so I have to reset and I was also slipping on the ice so I had to get off it. These logs are pretty heavy so sometimes the machine just wants to go straight. And pulling in first gear it wont turn as well as in 2nd because of the way the diff works...but it wont pull that weight out of the crap in 2nd...so sometimes I just go straight and reset...I think pushing it too hard would just break something eh. Cheers!

    Have you considered using a log arch?

  • @marcfournier823
    @marcfournier823 2 роки тому

    I like the concept but an extra wheel of track length would help the front to back stability. This would also move the winch away from the operator. I would say the winch situated as it is poses an extreme danger to the operator. The addition of a blade would also add additional weight forward to counteract the cantelever effect of the winch.
    The machine does far less damage to the forest floor than a skidder which is great.

    • @rollingupmysleeves
      @rollingupmysleeves  2 роки тому +1

      There are Bombi Muskeg versions similar to your wishlist but much bigger. The problem with another set of wheels is throwing a track and harder to turn in tight areas...that being said I'd like to try one like that.
