Tractor Logging with a Winch VI

Started cutting in an area with some dead and dying fir. Before I got there I had to move a blow down. Then I saw a partridge giving me the evil eye as I drove by. The plan is to cut the fir and salvage any good wood for stud logs. The first tree had a rotted base so I had to cut it with the lean. It hung up on a small maple branch that I thought it would go through. I had to work to get it down. Even though the bottom 12' was no good I did get 40' of good wood from it. I cut a cookie and then cut it into a 10X12 block to make sure it was solid.

I built a small crane and mounted it on my forestry winch and 30 hp tractor. This was the first trip out in the woods with it. Getting a feel for it as I went. I picked up wood in 3 spots. Bigger wood as I went. The video is the first spot and the last spot. I knew the hinge post needed to be plumb in order to neutralize gravity when rotating the boom. I use the top and tilt hydraulics to plumb...

We went to the Great American Steam Up held at Powerland Heritage Park in Oregon. Lots of antique steam powered equipment - running. A couple clips from the almost hour long parade. A fun day !

Have to move a big old pasture spruce blow down across a trail. Once I cut in enough I could see that it was not hung up on anything. It was propped up and spiked into the ground by all the underneath branches. I cut enough of them so that when I pulled straight back with the winch the tree collapsed to the ground. From there it was a grapple job to move the tree and clear the road path..

We have a lot of down fir from last winters high winds and heavy snow. I am going to salvage what stud wood logs I can from it. You only need a 5" diameter to make a 2X4. Since I haven't had a tractor in the woods for a while I started with the smaller stuff to get the rust and cob webs out.

The deep winter frost here pushes rocks up into the road surface. Every spring there is a new crop. Any that will stop my grader blade or snow plow I pull out. This one only had a knub showing but felt solid. You never know what lies unseen underneath.

Cutting smallish Yellow Birch Leaner

Using a swing dutchman to drop a leaner at an angle against it's natural fall. Also a good demonstration of why hanging around the stump when a tree, even a small tree, is falling could be a bad thing.

A Bob Cat Came for a Visit

My wife and I were having our late afternoon coffee in the living room when she said, "what's that in the road". She grabbed the binoculars - "It's a bob cat!!" I grabbed the camera and got this video through the window and about 60 or 70 yards away.

Experimental Crane on my Forestry Winch

มุมมอง 1849 หลายเดือนก่อน

I did an experiment to see if I could mount a simple crane on my small forestry winch and be able to control the cable. It is not a strong crane. Just something to get a feel to see if building a proper crane would be worth while. This would be for smallish wood that in the past I loaded by hand but now need help.

Salvaging a dead but solid fir for stud wood. I would have liked to put it where the big boulders are but was afraid of breakage. I could have laid it in the road but then would have a mess to clean up. Those hard sharp branches can be hard on tires. So I decided to lay it against the pine behind it. It was at a rather steep angle so I needed plenty of wedge under it to keep from pinching the s...

Hung Fir

The tree didn't go down. There was almost nothing holding it. It is hard to walk away but the top was dead and I didn't want to fool around at the base. Patience paid off.

After driving by this little blown over and hung up yellow birch 3 or 4 times today I finally decided to stop and get it out of the way. Dragged it up added it to my firewood pile.
