Salvaged Td9 Bulldozer Winching dead trees from the Forest for Firewood.

- Hundreds of slow growing Manuka and Kanuka trees in my forest are being smothered by the faster growing trees around them. They make very good firewood so I'm dragging them out with my International Td9 winch before they rot away.

Greatest feature of all of your videos is NO ANNOYING over lay of music. Just the pure sounds of machinery and nature.
Man that winch is a beast. I'm always impressed at how much work they can do. They can be hard to work on and costly too, but they pay for themselves once they're in working condition.
I'd have bet money he was asking too much of it, but, by heck, it made easy work of it.
@@TrevorDennis100 hell that winch could drag trees out 10 times that size.
great to see someone willing to make sure dead or dying trees don't end up a forest fire hazard and help themselves keep warm at the same time
Depends on the part of the world you are in. In Europe we are encouraged to leave dead standing trees and fallen trees as they are an essential part of a health forest/ wood. They provide a lot of habitat for insects and birds proving shelter and food. I totally understand thinning trees and removing diseased trees.
@@edpikestone6800 Completely correct. Habitat for insects, fungi or soil in the making, nothing wrong with leaving a tree to rot on the ground. It's all about being selective which you can tell Marty is.
@@edpikestone6800especially since more deadwood and biomass covering the forrest floor in all stages of decomposition increases the ability to hold water making the trees still growing more resilient against pests. This is particularly relevant to commercial pine-tree monocultures which are dying off at an alarming rate in Germany. I don't think Marty's forrest is anywhere near that risk given the abundance of water and humidity in the area and the fact it gets "disturbed" every two decades or so.
American liberal I see...
@@eriklarson9137 Whole bunch of dumb liberals that love to create forest fires. Fire burns longer when there is available fuel. Dead trees and dead mass on the ground burns for a very very long time. Peat Bog Fires burn really really long. Let's just create a huge uncontrollable mass of kindling to be absolutely sure we destroy every damn tree in the forest when there is a fire......... Short fires are somewhat ok, long fires are devastating. But hey they like to drink the moron cool-aid
For those that do not know, Marty t was a forestry worker so he knows what he is talking about, and is a damn good guy to boot!!
I've always wondered what his background was. I honestly thought he had been a diesel mechanic or something
@@Cole-xq2tl I always thought Marty was a strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
@@Cole-xq2tl he's quite capable at what ever he does from machining to electrical he's no stranger
Doesn't matter wether he knows what he's talking about if its his land, can do with it as he pleases
As the video progressed, you became more and more ambitious.
At the beginning, you pulled two trees at a time, then towards the end, you pulled half the forest at once.
I love the way the dozer is on idle and just pulls that wood like it was feathers. Also, I love the sight of a well kept winch cable and snatch block. That's what we call them here. Gotta love them for increasing your mechanical advantage and getting into places to let them do the work for you. Good job Marty.
Haven't heard the term snatch block for many years. We called them that ( New Zealand)
@@KeithStewart-zn8mgwe called them snatch blocks in Canada as well, when I was young, back in the 1980s
@@TokyoCraftsman I worked in the Alberta oilfields for 25 years. Yep. Those were the days.
Still referred to as Snatch Blocks in the UK and many parts of Europe as well. That's the actual wording and how they're listed in equipment catalogues. They have more uses than just directional pulling, they also get used if you want better control of winding speed, and other things as well. One of the simplest ways of providing mechanical advantage that exists. The difference between a Pulley block and a Snatch block is, the Pulley block does not have the opening gate.
@KeithStewart-zn8mg here in my part of the United States we call it a snatch block in the off-roading community
There's nothing I love better than good 'ol hard work. I can sit and watch it all day.
I'm sure your dog appreciates all the work you do to get it new sticks to play with.
Every little boy’s dream. Lots of heavy equipment to play with and lots of needs and opportunities to keep them playing.
My fil had a 1952 D7 Cat with that winch. He could pull huge Hemlocks and Douglas Firs long distances up steep ravines out on the Olympic Peninsula and I don’t think I ever heard that engine above an idle.
Why is it that Marty's videos are so relaxing to watch?
Oh, the joyous irony! Last week - restore a log hauling arch. This week - haul logs without it, and make it look easy!
Some folks may not consider the additional work required to film and edit this video. In addition,, Marty had to lug that huge pulley, chainsaw, chain, etc. and the number of trips, back and forth. Lots of work, made much easier by the dozer. I can also appreciate how smoothly and easily the cable freewheels out on that which. Impressive!
Despite the age, that is one powerful winch.
Pulled the trees with apparent ease.
The power of hydraulic winches is fantastic! Nice to see this old one put to good use.
Having gear like that makes it so easy and so much fun. Burning poplar here, having access to all that manuka would like being in heaven. Enjoyable as ever, thanks Marty.
Old dozer still does a days work. You worked hard on the recovery and repair: paying for itself now.
Hi Marty, Grandpa Chris from London here, you live in a very different world to the one of concrete and steel that is London, as a farm bred boy, I miss the country living, I’m a bit too old for that now, but I have happy memories of gathering firewood from my school days. Thanks for rescuing the Old Iron.
That TD9 is the business, what a winch, makes short work of hauling up those trees. that will keep the home fires burning!
Aussie: "that's not a knife!"
Kiwi: "that's not a winch!"
That winch is epic not even bothered pulling that weight
It is quite persuasive
Do you know the capacity? @@MartyT
Hi! love your channel! I am always glad to see your notifications come up because I know it is going to be something interesting and informative! Thanks for sharing! George from Florida, USA
@7:20 - This is a good job for a snatch block. Any bloke with a wire winch has a couple hanging about. Smarter Every Day has a great video about snatch blocks. He LOVES snatch blocks. If you have seen it, you understand.
Brilliant! The Old Girl didn't even break a sweat with that easy-peasy job for her, saving a back-breaker for you! If you ever had an old puriri fence post or a decent piece of dry pohutukawa to cut up, you'd have a match for manuka heat-wise, but manuka is far more plentiful and firewood merchants charge a premium for it. Thanks for sharing, Marty.
Mr Marty - ur videos are such a joy and relief from the cesspool of UA-cam, where political division, sensationalist news stories, and hostility thrives
that old dog has seen better days. taking about the dozer ofc😂
I can certainly agree that carrying wood gets more tiring with age.
I don't know what subconscious itch your videos scratch for me, but as a guy living in an apartment in Southern California , i've become addicted to your channel. One of my favorites on all of YT.
I enjoyed seeing the pulls get more and more ambitious. I could see your confidence in the winch and efficiency grow as it went. Good show.
Particularly liked the "three tree staggered pull".
Marty: "We've got some power left over while dragging, so we'll widen the track few cm while we're on the way."
Wow that's so cool. The power of that winch is awesome
The bark on those manuka trees reminds me of what junipers look like.
I didn't realize you were a kiwi, till you said what tree that was. Then I said to myself what the heck is that, lol. Good lord that winch is STRONG!
Man, what kid wouldn't want to ride in a big bulldozer? A lifetime a happy memories.
Marty I’m a Kiwi living in Japan and I have been following you for a few years and I noticed in the background you have an Audi sitting there , I messaged my nephew and said it looks like his one he had … long story short , you brought my nephews car off of him and he was stoked to see it again … small world
Haha nice
Hello from Minnesota
I saw the chaine come off.
I won't tell anyone.
I don't know what it is, but I've always loved cutting up trees, splitting and stacking firewood. Even if it's not for me, just something relaxing and satisfying about it.
That old TD was an awesome find Marty, a beast of a machine
👍👍👍🏴🇬🇧
Great to see someone else pull the chain off their saw too!!
Nothing quite like a Marty T video in the morning.
Snap, crackle, pop! Lol😅 looks like the dog is having fun too!
Man Marty, what a mess, and what a job! But you can't beat FREE wood!!
See him pull that cable with 2 fingers. I'll bet everything on that little dozer works the same way. This dude has forgot more about fixin stuff than most folks ever knew.❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Marty you've got some good old chainsaws in that part of the world, and some enthusiasts in NZ.
Tackling an old McCulloch or stihl shouldn't be a problem for you.
As an expat Kiwi living in Oz I really appreciate how you can just walk around in all that undergrowth and never have to worry about snakes! 😁
Same. Definitely a thing.
Pigs on the other hand.
And are there no poison ivy, poison oak nor chiggers?
@@branchandfoundry560 Ongaonga, you know it's bad when you say it twice.
@@stewartlee8858 Yikes
I liked it even before I viewed it
Same 😊
You know it's gonna be a great content
Why not,I always do..
Me too!!!👍
Same.
Love you Marty
On that last pull it looked like the forest was alive and all the trees were coming after you.
The ol winch made short work of it, surprised how easily it free spools.
Wow, that's a seriously powerful winch!
I love watching your videos, whether it's fixing and refurbishing old machinery or forestry stuff like this. You seem to know everything about everything! I know nothing about any of this, but it's fascinating to watch somebody who has endless patience and ingenuity to do anything that's required for the job.
Ian in London, UK
The track pants and wellies are a fab combo....
Quite the efficient operation you have going mate, 5 trees at once being pulled up!
Cheers from Newfoundland 🇨🇦
Newfoundland, huh? I'll bet you get good fish for a fraction of the price we have to pay for it! $NZ40 per kg is not uncommon in supermarkets.
that makes us 2 Marty fans from NL
If you know someone with a boat, the food fishery is currently on, you can catch 5 free per person per day until September@@peteacher52
Sitting in Rocky Harbour at moment wondering if i should go out fishing.
@@IR-nq4qv sister has a boat up in Holyrood :)
14:32 You can never have too many chains!
Especially when you got such a powerful winch.
And a lot of standing dead trees...
What a great bit of kit the bulldozer is.
Now thats how to get firewood! the power of that winch is fantastic for this! its great how fast it retracts too
I love those days you can get the whole family involved.
Another fine video Marty.
I think its about time we Aussies claimed you as an Australian youtube sensation.
I don't see any problems as we tend to do it quite often 😂
We want the horse back but you can keep Russell Crow.
Love, New Zealand
You and the old dozer made short work of that well done sir Marty
Congrats Marty T, on using ur Td9 Dozer to wrench-out some tree's for firewood.. lv ur white bulldog/mix..
Real, that's what I enjoy about this clip AND this channel. The fact that the equipment is OLD and second hand most of the time with the addition of some good old Kiwi ingenuity to get it running THEN putting it to use in a true and sensible way. And the jobs are (perhaps) a little bland and not as show-boaty as some channels but are much more real to us normal people, and yet still so good to view, what's with that? Love it!!
And the 4WD community thinks that they have some bad-ass winches on their trucks! 🤣🤣 Hey!! We saw that the 'Garden Master" threw the chain!! 😁
It's nice to see the dozer having a good retirement , just a little exercise to keep it mobile ,
Man that is steep. If you was winching one tree at a time I wouldn't even bother to watch video, but since you was putting a strain on the drive train, it was fun to watch, looks like good firewood to, I'll have to google that tree. I wont be cutting up firewood til October.........
Idk why!!! But I still don't get the video notifications? I've had the bell set to all for years
Work smarter not harder is what we learn as we grow older! That manuka wood looks like our cedar here in the South with the red inner color.
Man who cut own wood warm himself twice.
Marty you did a great job cleaning out the dead and dying trees from the your land at same time getting more firewoods for next winter.
Never tell a Kiwi something can’t be fixed or salvaged because they will do it anyway. Bastards are very good at that. 😂🇦🇺👍🏻
Thanks Marty, now I can sleep peacefully.
Good old unit there...
Time for a forklift Marty to move the firewood boxs!!! LOL... just don't tell Mrs Marty!!
Very nice job of skidding logs out sir, nice to have the equipment to allow you to do that, the wisdom of refurbishing old equipment comes to light here on this project. Thanks for the video young man.
Makes good firewood that manuka does, burns nice and hot, it even burns green.
Yeah, that’s a mighty fine winch.
With that hammer - ur nickname should be “Lighting”
… you never strike the same place twice
What a great haul of firewood. Hard graft for sure
😆
Still my favorite YT channel. Thanks man.
I don't know how long that took but you socked away a good bit of firewood there. That dozer winch makes things so much easier than it would be otherwise.
It took 2 days, I got around 10 cubic metres of wood
@@MartyTwhat do you typically burn in a season?
Cheers fromTokyo.
Heck yea yalls winter is coming up good thing ur stocking up
The TD92 had a turbo, great machine... add some ATF to your diesel, it will slowly clean your injectors...
That should warm your WigWam for awhile. Good solutions
Love the dog dont see the alot these days
dead standing timber and a PTO winch, living the dream
Its funny how much humanity has shaped forests and jungles into what they are today, it just goes to show what one guy can do, Marty pulling down a few dead trees make many more healthy and happy.
And to think humanity spent thousands of years growing the rain forest in South America only to chop it down in a few decades with arrival of machinery, is both a lesson of power and greed. Take only, what one needs.
Fantastic. That dozer is excellent and the winch makes light work of those trees.
Are you still keeping the old English dozer Marty?
I'm thinking about selling it, I don't use it now Ive got the td9
@@MartyT Thanks Marty. I wonder what it would cost to get it to Melbourne?
I love how your dog always wants to be close to you whatever you’re doing. He or she is lovely ☺️
People just don't realize how great some of the older equipment is perfect example with this wench dozer excellent job
G'Day, mate! I hope you're well today!
Such a bad ass winch that came with that old tractor.
My father was an operating engineer. He always said that a dozer without a winch was just scrap iron. They certainly make even a small dozer much more useful.
hehe ..you kept the wellington😎
I love te old Dooozy andher perfect pipe ring puffs🤠
That looked like a real ball buster if you did that in one day I'm Amazed
2 full days
You can kinda see why pioneers had to be such tough people. Video cuts out a lot but there was probably fifty trips up and down that hill side lugging rigging and equipment. I get exhausted just watching.
Like they say. Don't work harder work smarter!
Splitting the wood and tossing into modular containers it so efficient. All the splitting videos I see have the operator throw the pieces on the ground to pick up again and again.
the ultimate achievement would be an electricly driven hydraulic splitter run off of his hydro and powerbank, just SO much less noise. He was already using his electric saw with some of the cutting up.
I'm all for more tinkering with dyi electric conversions. How great would a homemade palletised powerpack for 220V or even three phase work away from the house be, or an electric conversion of one of the quads.
That is a proper logging operation
That winch doesn’t give a fk! 😮😅😂
Those trees first cut are what we call cedar .
Great bit of kit that dozer and winch, saves tons of hard work
Easy when you know what you are doing. Having the right equipment helps as well. Nice to see the family helping out as well. The dog keeping everybody on their toes too. Good job mate. 👍
The winch doesn’t muck about…… however, we all noticed the cut where you were knocking that nail in, 🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍
When on the Haast back in '94. We burnt some green nuky, it burnt that hot, the heat went through the 4 inch concrete and started to burn the ply floor 😮😮. Good job, well done, Marty...
