Up in Northern Wisconsin with Ken to get a close up look a real logging operation that is family owned and ran with three generations working together.
Chris and Ken, thanks for sharing this logging operation with us! Learned a lot in this video! Really liked when the owner said nice to see the trees standing up and not bent over. Great to see gerations working in the operation! Probably the cleanest logging operation i have seen.
Great video. Good example of a family business scaled up to sustain the growth of the family . Terry has no doubt had to take serious risk and invest major capital to build a business that can keep multiple generations working together.
Those logging processors are so neat. They have sensors in the head that precisely measure the length and diameter of each piece. It takes a lot of the decision making out of it for the operator. Logging has come a long way, it’s hi-tech like everything else. We’ve come a long way since the days of mules and crosscut saws! GNI 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well said.. What is best is what we have to work with today.. When I am gone and my great grandkids are watching/ working what are they going to have around for equipment.. The thoughts are endless..
I same here in the Pacific NW.. The unusable stuff just gets left there.. Sometimes guys like me can collect a little.. Thanks again Chris for taking us along..
I spent my summers as a kid logging with my dad. I gained so much knowledge from working in the brush and it sure comes in handy surveying to this day.
Quite the operation they have going! Always like to see family owned and operated doing well.👍 Great job on the camera work! The camera just never do justice on the size and power of logging equipment. Huge trees look like tooth picks when they throw em around. I could see your trust in operator went up after chain sharpening which allowed you to get into the danger zone. Thanks again!
Very cool to see their family logging operation in action. Cannot imagine what their overhead looks like on the equipment, liability insurance, fuel, maintenance, and payroll, etc.
G’morning Chris. Nice operation. Great vid to watch with youngsters. My 7 yr old daughter loved it. Should’ve busted out the dremel for the sharpening. Look at all the carnage ! Thanks. GoodNightIrene
Really enjoyed this look at the family logging business, much like Logger Wade, only I could understand what was being said, haha . Great closeup of the fella sharpening the chain, awesome, clear footage, see you tomorrow
Good morning Chris and Kenny!! Thanks for taking us out on one of the big jobs up there. I can't hardly believe it either that they are shipping those 16 foot logs all the way to Kentucky. They really must need it bad for them to come this far for it. Sure is a lot of nice maple on that job. Take care my friends!!😀😀 Logger Al
@@kennethcarlson8713 Hi Kenny, I realize that. But that still has to cost the buyer a lot of money to get them shipped way down there. I think it goes to show that the mills are making more than they act like they are and could give us a little more money for all the expenses we have to produce the wood. It looks like all of his harvester's have a lot of hours on them. I saw a lot of welds on the 133. Hardwood is really hard on a harvester head. I'm glad that I am usually cutting plantation pine most of the time.
I suppose Terry's operation would still be considered a "small business" sorta like a family farming operation. Nice to see a family that found a way to stay together in business and be successful at it.
Interesting to see 16 foot pulp, saw a logger around home cutting it maybe going to the same destination. Don't see it much in Barron county wi. Nice job showing your friends logging operation 👍😁😎. Looks like a class act
We cut a portion of our land in Rusk county this winter. Some 16' hardwood was sent LP in Hayward. Supposedly it was then train transported to an osb plant down south!
great vid!!! another aspect of logging in Wis. it's a shame that so much firewood just gets left but it's not worth heading a mile back in the woods to collect the drops! looking forward to the next one chris! blew a hose on the splitter so i have to fix that today!
We have no Pulp market in western ny. Maybe one reason firewood prices are so much lower than Chris's more like Kenny's. Loved when the dad said when they're done in area he wants to see trees standing up not at an angle.
Trailer behind your little tractor could pick that stuff up. Well if you can on that site. MN gives out firewood permits for that stuff.....(well they use to)
Yes but it is a way to the logging site and a long ways into the woods with not much of a road to it, having logs delivered is much faster and gets more production done.
@@InTheWoodyard tbh I'm not sure that it's cheaper to cut your own .it seems to have to be a pretty perfect setup. It brought me back thou......I started my firewood business for sites like that......
Hey Chris …Great filming , you should be getting a Christmas card from CAT 501 . Would love to give that a try. Thanks Plenty of new subscriber comin. ,
Funny thing about all this efficient equipment relative to your operation. When we are watching you each day, step by step, we can't help but think how you could improve 3% here, or buy something and improve 30% there. Then we write some unnecessary comment that drives you nuts and you lie saying you appreciate them. But do you ultimately want to live your life simply pressing buttons in a $100k piece of equipment with heated interior everything?? There is money to be made that way, but at that point get a cubicle job. Thanks so much for the vid!
Right on thanks! I know what you and your brother where thinking starring at the load on the forwarder I was thinking the same my look at all that nice wood 🪵 when he was sharpening the chain you probably saying to your self I'd like to sharpen that with my ezydoo 👍
The best dang modern day logging documentary I have seen. I have watched every logging history documentary on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for watching Pricey!

You are welcome Craig, thank you for watching!

Yes, I am sure he has! Great guy!
Good morning Chris and Ken, t's mind boggling how much wood is cut and processed every year in the logging industry.👍👍
Yes it is, and it ALL grows back!!!
Those logging processors are so neat. They have sensors in the head that precisely measure the length and diameter of each piece. It takes a lot of the decision making out of it for the operator.

Well said.. What is best is what we have to work with today.. When I am gone and my great grandkids are watching/ working what are they going to have around for equipment.. The thoughts are endless..
Yes it has!
Automation/robots will take over.
Nice that is my happy place in the woods. My dad logged before I was born. My uncle logged for most my childhood till he got hurt. Nice video
That is awesome!
I same here in the Pacific NW.. The unusable stuff just gets left there.. Sometimes guys like me can collect a little..
Thanks again Chris for taking us along..
Thanks for watching!
Super great video. So cool to watch that equipment operate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I spent my summers as a kid logging with my dad. I gained so much knowledge from working in the brush and it sure comes in handy surveying to this day.
Working in the woods does a boy good!
Those machines are just awesome. And wow Ken was Calm today 😎
You got that right!
Great video guys......all that fire wood left behind!!! WOW
Thanks for watching Mitch!
I watched a logging operation once while cutting a yard, 3 hrs later, I still hadn't cut the yard!!! Have a Safe Day
Yes, it is very cool to see!
Really neat stuff , thanks Ken !
Thanks!
My grandson is going to love this video! He’s 3 and knows what all the equipment is called!
That is very cool!
Pretty cool Christopher and Kenneth! I think I’d let the Tigercat operator floss my teeth with that machine!! Impressive.. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Quite the operation they have going!
Always like to see family owned and operated doing well.👍

Yes it was very cool! Thanks Wayne!
Very good for you guys
Thanks!!
@@InTheWoodyard you are very much welcome
Amazing! Kenny sure seems to know this industry inside out! Many thanks for sharing. Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
Yes, he knows a lot, he has been working in it for 30+ years!
Very cool to see their family logging operation in action. Cannot imagine what their overhead looks like on the equipment, liability insurance, fuel, maintenance, and payroll, etc.
Yes, it has to be a lot to manage and pay for.
Boy if you had one of those machines you would be a fire wood man for sure no one could keep up for sure. It’s a nice machine
Yes they sure are nice!
G’morning Chris. Nice operation. Great vid to watch with youngsters. My 7 yr old daughter loved it. Should’ve busted out the dremel for the sharpening. Look at all the carnage ! Thanks. GoodNightIrene
Glad you enjoyed it, yup, carnage is good!
Great video Great content Chris 👌 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Frank!

Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the logging is good for the environment and us people
Yup, I like to wipe with T.P. not leaves and trees grow back, they are the worlds most renewable resource.!!!!
Proud of my family 🥰
Hello! Yup, you should be great folks, thell them thanks for me again!!!!
Best one yet you guys make a awesome team
Thanks Chad!
Sweet, like the shots with the other camera! Really nice quality!
Thanks for watching!
The clear cuts replace wildfires that use to run through.
Good point!
Great video Chris took me 3 different trys but I finally watched the whole thing lol
Glad you enjoyed
I wish I could borrow that log processor for about a week! I could get all my firewood for the year at one time 🤣 Nice video fellas👍🏻👍🏻GNI
YES! Thanks!
Good morning Chris and Kenny!!

I can't hardly believe it either that they are shipping those 16 foot logs all the way to Kentucky. They really must need it bad for them to come this far for it.

It goes on rail cars

Ya, it is a long way to go!
Yes, I bet you are!
Quite the operation!!!!
It sure is!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Thats some nice hardwood going to domtar. Them guys do nice work.
Yes they do!

great vid!!! another aspect of logging in Wis. it's a shame that so much firewood just gets left but it's not worth heading a mile back in the woods to collect the drops! looking forward to the next one chris!
blew a hose on the splitter so i have to fix that today!
At least it'll feed the next crop of firewood!
I would try something at least once . Firewood possessed … lol. Loved this video . Thanks. Craig. Pa.
Totally agree, good luck on the horse!
i wish all i need was glass i need dam huble telspopes lol
HA!
Pretty awesome vid Cris
Thanks!
always fun at your brothers john
yes it is!
Cool machines
Yup, fun to watch!

Get you a shuttle machine and a saw butt and get you a delimber
Okay
We call those big chunks pigs they would pile them up at the chipper when I drove I got them for free
Yes, hard to work with chuncks!
Watch the background on the right of the screen 30:20. Matrix glitch @30:30 just as he's going out of frame. :)
Maybe so or just editing!
Chris, where was your Dremel to sharpen it for him to get him cutting faster?
HA! Wrong size bit!
Good morning everyone
Hello!
Hey Chris …Great filming , you should be getting a Christmas card from CAT 501 . Would love to give that a try. Thanks Plenty of new subscriber comin. ,
Thanks Craig!
Interesting.
Glad you think so!
👍👍
Thanks Bill!
I thought Kenny had become the new presenter at the start of the video, He'll soon be wanting to be paid.
Yup, maybe so!
What state is the logging operation?
👍
Thanks!
morning cofee and a movie
I made it just for you!
Get you a trax machine with a saw head on it..much quicker
Okay
What town are U near?
That was up by Park Falls.
Where is this job Located
Flambeu River State forest
Ken said it!
@@InTheWoodyard
What county?
Hey do you remember me 😊 how are you doing I want to start my own fire wood business how do you start it
Just start cutting, then start selling once you have some wood to sell!
You cut the wood, you split the wood, you stack the wood, you dry the wood, and then you sell the wood. Lather, rinse, repeat....

VERY well said Michael!!!!!!!!
That type of logging, you waste alot of valuable wood...I guess it's different depending where you live..not the way we do it in the south..
This is northern Wisconsin not the south.
Wow !
That was really interesting ...... (っ◕‿◕)っ
Thanks for watching Mr. H!!!
The next time you go to Kens, please bring your splitter. His is painfully slow and it’s hard to watch him wasting so much time.
Maybe I will!
Right on thanks! I know what you and your brother where thinking starring at the load on the forwarder I was thinking the same my look at all that nice wood 🪵 when he was sharpening the chain you probably saying to your self I'd like to sharpen that with my ezydoo 👍
HA! Yes but the file does a great job too!
👍
Thanks!
