- In this video @StuInTheSticks runs a 4-53 Detroit powered Timberjack 450 skidder with strait pipe clearing snow after late spring storm
LOL! My God! Reminds me of our neighbor's 353 Detroit skidder. 1/2 mile away and felt like he was in our front yard! Love these screamin' meamies!
Ahh your neighbor's an amateur I try for at lest a two mile zone of getting my local neighbor's in a rage LOL! Thanks for checking out the vid, take care.
@@StuInTheSticks Our best was a mile in 1985 band practice all miked up drums and all. We tried! That Detroit reaches out quite a ways!!!
Funny thing is when we're not even really trying is when we do our best work ticking off other people in this world, someone always end's up getting butt hurt when going about our lives. What can I say I've got a natural talent when it come's to these thing's lol! @@eriklund784
Hey stu like ur old skool style n love ur old skidded!!
Most thing's are old school around this place including me lol, thank you for stopping by the comment's.
I remember driving a 2303💥
Your video is really kewl!! That bad boy can bark-i think skidders sound wicked awesome.
Yes I think some of these ol machine's are pretty wicked awesome myself but I have to correct you on one thing, It's less a bad boy and more of a bad girl as I always refer to this machine as my ol girl (hell hath no fury like a woman) hence the screamin' demon thing I guess LOL! Sorry just had to tease a little :) thanks for being a good sport take care.
Great video man,keep up the great work.
Glad you liked, just my day to day work and the kind of life I live. Wished I'd videoed all the different thing's I've done over the year's, most people think your bs'ing when I do tell now; thanks for watching and commenting.
It would be interesting to throw a muffler or three on it to see how much difference it would make
A railway company near me used to run two stroke Detroit's in their rail machines they had triple muffler's on them, at idle you barely heard them but once at full juice they where still loud. A company mechanic told me they didn't last that many run hour's because there was to much back pressure on them. This machine had a big ugly truck muffler on it but would run hot with it, these engine's like to breathe. When standing beside or in this case sitting behind a Detroit the shear noise that come's from the engine block itself resonates right through your body. Fun to run for about a hour after that they play you out. I have mad respect for the old guys that ran these engines all day long on construction and forestry equipment.
Sounds amazing! My grandpa was a logger, decades ago I remember he had a 208 and a 230, they were loud but nothing like this machine. Can your blade tilt with one side higher then the other?
It's not a hydraulic 4 or 6 way blade just a strait blade, up or down it's a solid mount to the main frame of the machine if that's what your asking. 300 and 400 series are setup that way. The old 200 series TJ's like your grandpa's had the blade's mounted to the front axel cradle and would tilt back and forth when a front wheel would go over a stump or dip in a hole. The video doesn't do the ol girl justice to just how loud and proud she is first hand lol! She literally rattle's window's if I move er through my local town hence the joke/title neighbor enrager, and yes I have had a cop pay me a noise complaint visit from several people with a painful smirk on his face trying not to burst out laughing.
ya ever run that beast in the woods? bet shell pull a hell of a hitch with chains
Just a few test skid's to see what it could pull and yes almost scary what it can walk away with and that was "bare footed" in wintertime with no chain's, I don't have a set anyways. There's a limit on your main line and what you can pull before having to up the size then it get's to heavy to pull out in the brush. You can only pull so much in a skid before you start going backwards in productivity when your dealing with a cable skidder system, if you get to big of hitch on then you can't hardly get unhitched on your landing when you try to unhook you have wood on top of chokers you can't reach; and tree's end up spread out half way across your landing. Till now I haven't had to use it for pulling skid's has been used for opening trail's and landing's mostly, but that might change this winter not willing share detail's just yet but check back in with the channel to see what I'm getting myself into going forward. The old girl is in the process of getting slowly worked over and ready "just in case". Thanks for the comment and checking out my video, take care.
Is this a 450? Big machine!
Yes it's a 450 early model known as a "flat hood" the company was part owned by Eaton before Timberjack took over sole ownership and started with their tapered "Black hood" models A B and C series. It weighs close to 20,000lbs has 30.5x32 tires and is just shy of 11ft wide with said tires configuration, the blade is 11.6 feet wide and like I said in the video I'm 6'3'' with the floor bords at my chest or nipple height for example lol! Just thought I'd throw this little bit of extra fact's in about the machine for you or any one else that comes across this. Thank you kindly for checking out the video and stopping by the comment's always fun interacting with you folks; PS there will be more video's of this machine working this coming winter season along with it's little buddy "Hugh and Puff" so stay tuned!
Did you stretch that front blade cause it sure looks good.
I'm not the one that did, was done along with a rear frame extension wheels cut and widened along with winch upgrade to a Clark 400 series hydra spool. Work was done about 20 years ago machine got a total refurbish upgrade then never really used after that from what I could find out about it. PS; blade extensions are 30'' added on both sides they cover the tires by about 3-4 inch, she's wearing 30.5's on her 11'6 feet total width lol!
i got a fresh 4/53 in a clark 667 . it sounds nothing like that.
Depends if yours is not a 4-53N like mine is and has the added turbo such as the silver series 4-53T then it won't sound the same. The turbo takes that "bark" out of them to some point and makes them easier to live with, what size length and how many bends you have in your exhaust pipe can make the same engine sound totally different to. Hope your machines running good the Clark's are great skidder's also.
@@StuInTheSticks oh . i see/ great video . thanks for sharing . im off to run the Clark
