That was interesting to hear that little story from 1990.. You guys sure came a long way to where you are now.. That's very encouraging and unfortunately is becoming increasingly rare most people now have no desire to put in any amount of work or sacrifice to be successful.. if they don't succeed right out of the gate well then it must be someone else's fault... Keep up the good work!
I think this is one of the wettest years I remember in a long time! The farmers around here in south Ga. Alma. Are still trying to get there cotton out of the fields and it’s molding on the plant! The news is already talking about clothes costing more because of it. Thanks for sharing Tim!
I use to love watching Goodson Family Logging on TV year's ago. They are up in either Georgia, North or South Carolina. It might be elsewhere on the east coast but I really enjoyed that show. I saw reruns of the show back a few months ago. They had some hard time's when a Mill stopped taking wood but it is like that in the Paper Industry. My Granddaddy use to work at the Port St. Joe Florida Paper Mill when it was still in operation many year's ago. He got very sick from asbestos because he was an Insulator at the paper mill. Back then they did not tell them that asbestos was dangerous so they did not wear respiratory protection and it ended up killing him. He never lived to see the money that his lawsuit won so his wife and children got that money. He was a hard worker. I hated to see the Mill close for good year's after he died. People just don't know what thing's tree's provide us. As long as we replant and harvest wisely we should continue keeping the Paper and Saw Mill's open. The fight is with the tree huggers and other environmentalists who just don't have too many brain cells. I love and want a good environment but God put it here for us to utilize. Be wise with what he has given us.
Now we`re talking Tim... I love watching Chad work that monster.... need to put a camera inside as well... a couple of views on running it!! Do you think your Dad would let you put one in his truck so we can watch a run to the mill. Hopefully one mill will let you record them... if not just a ride along would be cool!!! Awesome vid Tim... thanks!!
I can see why my dad complained about the rainy days when he was cutting timber and not being able to work and he didn't have the nice equipment to work with like you guys plus being in the mountains of Virginia didn't help, hopefully it stops raining for you guys and drys up so you can make some money ,I love hearing the skidder pulling, that low end torque is something and I didn't realize that grapple was big enough to grab all of that timber at once
You're lucky to have so many days spent not getting rained on. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, and during the warm months it rains pretty heavily at least once a month. We also have the dumbest winters up here. You have a period of rain and sleet, followed by a period of freezing, followed by a period of more rain, sleet and melt-off, followed by yet another deep freeze, on and on through the entirety of our winters here. Even salting isn't enough to make our roads safe during those freeze periods, since the melting periods wash it all away. Tis an extremely expensive situation for our municipalities, that's for sure. Road salt/sand ain't cheap.
1) Next step? - Put the olofors tracks front and rear on the Tigercat 630E? and have plenty of replacement track links 2) Arrange another demo of the Tigercat 615C(from an earlier video) with the small tires on the machine's rear with tracks. 3) If it keeps raining in the MIss./ Al. woods it might get wet enough for a used Tigercat 1075 Forwarder 8x8 (on clark tracks) converted to clambunk configuration. Tigercat might have to make a 1075C combi forwarder. A clambunk configuration for hauling full length logs to the processing skid, then switch to a forwarder bunk to take the logs somewhere dry enough to get the the road log trucks to load.
Great video Tim ! Watching you guys working brings to mind the legend of Paul Bunyan ! In farming dry years are preferable to wet ones and it seems the same can be said for logging as well ! If my farming background has any application " increased fuel consumption " will be lost in the noise as slippage accounts for much of it . OTOH, I'm sure your suspicions about mechanical issues is spot on !
First day of sunshine here in Mississippi in a while maybe next few days will help dry it out some, but you’re right we have had a lot of rain, y all stay safe out there.
It’s very wet here too. I know of one logger that just put duals on 2 of his skidders and a rubber tired cutter. Mills are low on wood and paying a premium price.
Tim I was on the way to work yesterday and there was rain from your neck of the woods to mine in NC. I'm 20 miles west of lumberton nc. Our river has been above flood stage since November 14. Hope the duals helps.
The last weekend in December we set a new rain fall record of I think they said 77 inch for 2018 . The old record of 75 inch was in 2013 . Great video tim enjoyed watching thank you for sharing
"You have to factor in the hassel-factor." I like that and I believe you have to factor in more of it than anyone I know. I've thought that I worked in ridiculous conditions, but I would be embarrassed to mention them in the light of what you are doing.
Just an idea: Less air pressure in the outer tires if you are worried about the bolts holding the tires. Anyway you know your stuff better than me! :) Good luck with the weather!
Yes believe me it is wet around Marlboro county SC fields are standing water. Farmers can not get cotton and soybeans harvest. With my land clearing business it has slow down to the point i am back to driving full time for a freight hauler. Man if it keeps on raining we going to need to lay logs down just so the loggers can work. Tim i feel your pain with it so wet.
Bobby Goodson gave you a shoutout in one of his videos, he was self filming, and said I have no idea how cotontop does this stuff with 1 hand! Pretty cool!
Judging by the space between the axels, you get more ground contact area with duelies vs. a set of over the tire tracks. It would be slick as shit if you had a machine shop turn some wheel spacers so you could run two sets of over the tire tracks. Great video Tim!
To lessen your wear and fuel expenses have you thought about running a much smaller tire on your outside dual? That way they will only engage the ground in swampy conditions when you want low ground pressure. You see farm tractors do it this way. Just a thought thanks for the video. Bob from Virginia
That my friend is one hell of an operator. Chad keep up the good work . If nothing else Tim you can shuttle the wood for him ,but wait. Ain't t gotta do it now ..
Any extra flotation will help after all the rain 2018 brought. 2019 is starting off the same as last year ended so if it continues everyone is gonna have to continue to try ways to get through the mud.
I see this video came out in jan of this year. We was wet in alaska too. Now this summer is hot and dry. World is changing but I don't know for what. That machine makes choker setters cry, rightly so too as we never had any machine that big. The little timber jack was the first of them and I buried one cause I wasn't used to a tiller stick and I was going full out and bumped it and landed in a pond over the cab in one one hundredth of a second an about downed getting out of it. Made me look like a idiot quick. I got to get back watching you all. I think that machine cost as much as all of our equipment did back in the sixties and he knows how to get it all
Awesome video. That’s aggravating when you spend time on something and it doesn’t help much and getting that matted seems to take time also. Definitely has to be trying on your nerves. When the going gets tough y’all really keep it rolling
Northeast Missouri is a wet mother too it 2009 was the last winter we had like this we done already had 7 inches of snow and like 9 inches of rain it it's been phenomenal we're still trying to get beans out
I remember when Bobby G. put 6 feet wide tires on his ( I think they were 6 feet). Might have to lay a “road” with trees like if you were in a swamp. Some day it might dry out! Thanks Tim for another great video!
Crazy idea. Put tracks over them duals. Make them with conveyor belt and angle iron on the outside with flat stock on the inside shaped up to keep the tracks on the tire. Crazy idea. Channel Logger Wade has somehting like that on his 250D
This is the wettest year I ever remember since back in the 1960 s when will the rain end good luck on the duals he will feel every stump in the woods done been there and got my Tshirt lol
My buddy just put tracks on his 635D cause the duals was loading up with mud and just spinning the tracks made a world of difference but it’s just one wet year but the bank doesn’t care how wet it is Chad can make that thing talk
It may use more fuel with the tires on but you should see that in the long haul it will use the same or less when it wasnt a duallie cuz you will bot spin as much and you can push and pull more at a time so you are actually getting work done quicker...
It has been nice here two days now. you'll have been getting about the same weather we are the day after we do maybe you will get a few days of dry now. Hope it gets better for awhile how. don't like them cloudy days day after day. God bless you'll.
Those r just flat out bad ass tractors. Too bad they cost so much. Looks like he's sitting sideways? I bet that helps a bunch goin fowards an back so much. Not as neck breaking. Enjoyed hell out of this video. I'd hate to buy tires 4 thst baby
Swamp logger from williston fl and I love your videos . We run a 640 clambunk and it's a hoss we keep it dualled up all the way around no problems so don't worry lol..
If your worried about the tires being slight difference in height by tread couldn't you just air down the outside say 5 or 2.5 psi and make it so equals out when the weight is on
@@cotontop3 damn, i run a 62" beaver squeezer grapple on bobcat a300. Same concept but damn that grapple u got moves mountains. Very impressive man. It is Continuous rotation right?

I would tend to agree. The less you sink into the ground, and the larger your contact area with the ground is, the less tractive-effort would be required of the machine. Just think of how massively wide the tracks were on things like the Panther, Tiger and Konigstiger tanks from WWII. Forget about fuel-economy. If those tanks had thinner tracks on them, they would just sink into even dry ground. The wider the tracks are on a tank (or tires on a skidder), conversely, the less power said machine will have to apply to go mobile, plus the added benefit of them not sinking down as much, which means less rolling-resistance and increased ability to maintain momentum, which, again, puts less strain on the drive-train, which means better mobility, fuel consumption and general improvement on the side of maintenance and over-all longevity. Running duals may shorten the life of the rear running gear (and then again, it might not. I'm no expert, but I've seen one on TV : )' ), but the added benefits towards the drive-train and fuel-usage would totally compensate for the cost of hub maintenance and replacement. Also, if you don't drive it like a maniac, which is kind of a given lol, those duals shouldn't give any un-due trouble. They also help for spreading the load out, which means less ground damage when pulling large drags, which means decreased need for "matting" the area you're working in. I'm a lowly forklift operator, and since we put duals on the front of our Hyster 30 tonner at the crane shop I work at, not only has mileage gotten better, but it degrades the ground conditions a lot more slowly now than it did before. Before, I would have to go over the entire yard of the crane-shop with a dozer every month or so to flatten the loosened gravel out and re-compact it, and every now and again we would need a few more loads of gravel to compensate for the gravel that had been crushed to dust by that forklift. Since we put semi-tractor duals on it and foam-filled them, I only have to do that every 3 months with about half of the gravel "loss" we were experiencing before, which is a great improvement, if you ask me.
Thanks for all the logging and it sure has been a wet start to winter! Ice storms mean more new power poles. How much does all that matting break down in say four or five years?
That was interesting to hear that little story from 1990.. You guys sure came a long way to where you are now.. That's very encouraging and unfortunately is becoming increasingly rare most people now have no desire to put in any amount of work or sacrifice to be successful.. if they don't succeed right out of the gate well then it must be someone else's fault... Keep up the good work!

that is tennis shoe logging
That machine will make your sticker peck out. Huuum!! What a beast!!😁
Looks like a normal Irish winter to me.
That 635 with DUALS is a HASS.
First day of sunshine here in Mississippi in a while maybe next few days will help dry it out some, but you’re right we have had a lot of rain, y all stay safe out there.
Chad dont mess around. He is worth his weight in gold if you ask me.
It’s very wet here too. I know of one logger that just put duals on 2 of his skidders and a rubber tired cutter. Mills are low on wood and paying a premium price.
The drag he picked up at 13:05 is more than any Cat or Deere can get without carrying the front wheels in the air!
Tim I was on the way to work yesterday and there was rain from your neck of the woods to mine in NC. I'm 20 miles west of lumberton nc. Our river has been above flood stage since November 14. Hope the duals helps.
Wow 😮 just when I think the 635 D could get any cooler y’all did this omg 😮 it’s a BEAST I love it
Great video really enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing 🚜, as a former logger, please stay safe y'all 🚜
From my perspective yall are in better position, as far being able to get the wood moved unlike other outfits. I am sure it is still tough.
Awesome video Tim, love the sound of that machine. Keep up the good work and be safe
That is one beast of a machine.
Wish i lived closer. Would love a chance to see the equipment up close. Thing is a beast
The last weekend in December we set a new rain fall record of I think they said 77 inch for 2018 . The old record of 75 inch was in 2013 . Great video tim enjoyed watching thank you for sharing
Well at least you are trying to keep the wood moving is the main thing
Great video of the struggles, Tim. The music that 635 makes under load is beautiful! 😉
"You have to factor in the hassel-factor." I like that and I believe you have to factor in more of it than anyone I know. I've thought that I worked in ridiculous conditions, but I would be embarrassed to mention them in the light of what you are doing.

That’s what we did, outside have a little less pressure.
Up here in Maine we call that Grapple skidder hauling out a twitch of wood
Yes believe me it is wet around Marlboro county SC fields are standing water. Farmers can not get cotton and soybeans harvest.

Ben Whitting do you remember what vid?!?! I kinda want to hear it lol
Authentic top-of-the-line
Been battling the rain here in Pennsylvania logging as well I definately like it when it's solid out and can pound the production cool video thank you
Look's to be doing great Tim, But the water will test ..Take care Tim..
BAD ASS CREW BAD ASS MACHINE BAD ASS OPERATOR AND SMART ASS INVESTMENT 635 IS A BEAST!
Judging by the space between the axels, you get more ground contact area with duelies vs. a set of over the tire tracks. It would be slick as shit if you had a machine shop turn some wheel spacers so you could run two sets of over the tire tracks. Great video Tim!
Getting things done!!!!!!
To much rain in the pan handle of Fla, enjoyed that!!
That 635 getting it done!!
Good to see a cutter man who knows what he’s doing lol

Swamp logger Chad, He is some operator:)
Good sounding engine!
Thats a beast!!
That my friend is one hell of an operator. Chad keep up the good work . If nothing else Tim you can shuttle the wood for him ,but wait. Ain't t gotta do it now ..
With the outside being new that thing Will deff have best traction it will ever have .
It’d be neat to have some drone footage of this
Sitting here in my man cave you seem to be logging to me I enjoy watching.

I wish we would have had a machine like that back in the mid sevenths when we hauled pulp wood
Northeast Missouri is a wet mother too it 2009 was the last winter we had like this we done already had 7 inches of snow and like 9 inches of rain it it's been phenomenal we're still trying to get beans out

I see you're finally getting some use out of them duals! Another great video Tim.
Here in Michigan when you get slapped with a limb in 20 degrees and under you would swear you face shattered 😂 that’s like instantly mad!
😎 I worked Dealers Truck Body and we worked on one of those they have one foot diameter hydraulic lines
Hey Tim
It's wet all the way to Ontario Canada.
Lots of snow and rain this winter. Keep up the great work. God bless you guys.
Great video Tim thanks for sharing have a great day
This is the wettest year I ever remember since back in the 1960 s when will the rain end good luck on the duals he will feel every stump in the woods done been there and got my Tshirt lol
That's some rugged skidder pulling 3 bundles of trees like that ..those double tires work sweet .for sure
My buddy just put tracks on his 635D cause the duals was loading up with mud and just spinning the tracks made a world of difference but it’s just one wet year but the bank doesn’t care how wet it is Chad can make that thing talk

Differential and gearbox wear/failure would scare me more than fuel burn. Just saying. Heck of a machine for sure.
If looks are a factor the Beast just moved up the beast list.
Those r just flat out bad ass tractors. Too bad they cost so much. Looks like he's sitting sideways? I bet that helps a bunch goin fowards an back so much. Not as neck breaking. Enjoyed hell out of this video. I'd hate to buy tires 4 thst baby
Thanks for the video Tim and the answer to my wet year question .
Oh and don't stop loggin to take up a singing career 😂
Here in Talladega Al is bad mills needing wood glad to see no rain in the forecast for the nexts 7 days
Swamp logger from williston fl and I love your videos . We run a 640 clambunk and it's a hoss we keep it dualled up all the way around no problems so don't worry lol..
That looks so much easier than what we used to do with the cables
Tim, could you show us your pond? Now that is way full 😊
Your cutting about 15 minutes from my house, I live on top of a hill and when I go out with the dog water oozes up around my shoes. Love the vids
You should stop by. We are running today.
If you don’t mind I like to, don’t want to hinder you working
Jack Dauphin come on real quick. We about to stop for lunch. Make sure ur in a pickup truck
That triple drag was amazing👍
Awesome video tim
bad ass tires tim
that’s just unreal the muck you guys gotta deal with everyday
Looks bad ass with the duals. Now as long as it works
Looks awesome sir, I one day would love to operate one of those. Stay safe and have a great day
Put less air pressure in the new tires or more in the old tires this will bring your tires closer to the same hight or outside diameter
If your worried about the tires being slight difference in height by tread couldn't you just air down the outside say 5 or 2.5 psi and make it so equals out when the weight is on
One hell of an operation,
Also how wide is it completely open
I measured it in a video one day and I think it was 14’ and some change.
@@cotontop3 damn, i run a 62" beaver squeezer grapple on bobcat a300. Same concept but damn that grapple u got moves mountains. Very impressive man. It is Continuous rotation right?
Thx for the reply bud.
What a beast !
It is very pleasurable to watch harvest videos. I work here in Brazil with maintenance of tigercat machines. What place was this video recorded? For what purpose is this wood used
TigerCat The Best Tractor Forest !
Duals are probably a lot less fuel consuming than singles going 18" deep
I would tend to agree. The less you sink into the ground, and the larger your contact area with the ground is, the less tractive-effort would be required of the machine. Just think of how massively wide the tracks were on things like the Panther, Tiger and Konigstiger tanks from WWII. Forget about fuel-economy. If those tanks had thinner tracks on them, they would just sink into even dry ground.
The wider the tracks are on a tank (or tires on a skidder), conversely, the less power said machine will have to apply to go mobile, plus the added benefit of them not sinking down as much, which means less rolling-resistance and increased ability to maintain momentum, which, again, puts less strain on the drive-train, which means better mobility, fuel consumption and general improvement on the side of maintenance and over-all longevity.
Running duals may shorten the life of the rear running gear (and then again, it might not. I'm no expert, but I've seen one on TV : )' ), but the added benefits towards the drive-train and fuel-usage would totally compensate for the cost of hub maintenance and replacement. Also, if you don't drive it like a maniac, which is kind of a given lol, those duals shouldn't give any un-due trouble. They also help for spreading the load out, which means less ground damage when pulling large drags, which means decreased need for "matting" the area you're working in.
I'm a lowly forklift operator, and since we put duals on the front of our Hyster 30 tonner at the crane shop I work at, not only has mileage gotten better, but it degrades the ground conditions a lot more slowly now than it did before. Before, I would have to go over the entire yard of the crane-shop with a dozer every month or so to flatten the loosened gravel out and re-compact it, and every now and again we would need a few more loads of gravel to compensate for the gravel that had been crushed to dust by that forklift. Since we put semi-tractor duals on it and foam-filled them, I only have to do that every 3 months with about half of the gravel "loss" we were experiencing before, which is a great improvement, if you ask me.
It been raining like crazy here in Tx. as well
Looking forward to seeing how those duals work out. has been extremely wet here in Massachusetts since late July and still raining
Man that thing pulls wood.
Oh it’s swampy here in TN to. The grounds rotten
Wild cat beast on the lose. I've seen em snap lug nuts like tooth picks. know fun. But man. What a monster... So cool.
Thanks for all the logging and it sure has been a wet start to winter! Ice storms mean more new power poles. How much does all that matting break down in say four or five years?
Here in the mountains of Virginia it’s about as wet for the loggers here as y’all have it there. Can’t remember the last week without rain
It's a beast if it don't quit raining you going to need a log Road.✌
