I’d bet most folks don’t think those who mosey through snow covered woods during the bitter cold days of winter to create pathways and such. I think folks would benefit greatly from watching a master like you manage these renewable resources, and BONUS, you’re funny, too! Thanks for doing what you do Dave!
I am not a logger but I like how you explain what you are doing. I am learning somethings. I really liked your video on the state of the Bio Mass market and how you are going to have to change. I also think you are an excellent operator being careful not to damage the other trees. And you mentioned in one of your video the size of the Aspen the are very small you must have to cut allot to make a buck!!! Thanks for the video's!!
Hi Dave!!😀😀 I agree with you and Dean. It would regenerate back to Aspen really nice. I don't understand your forester. The foresters down here would definitely have clear cut every thing 1 inch and greater. I would definitely like thinning that stand with your 1270 . Take care my friend!!😀😀
Tell them foresters that you pay them enough money to use more paint. Around here they use a backpack sprayer and put a dot on the stump and a diagonal stripe on the tree that you can’t help but see. Paint and ribbon on corner markers and vertical stripes on boundary trees.
Nice video - dexterity you have in in a buncher, now to get your Dragster in there without crashing your straight wind rows. Thinning 50% would have been better. cheers
Glad you had a great Christmas. Could you imagine the amount of snow down your shirt caller using a chainsaw or the open cab like your dad. Burr it even makes me cold just thinking about it. Did you get much of the storm yesterday. Happy New Year's and keep up the great videos
@@davidhaley7053 Aaah, Ok I will wait for that because I work in forestry in Europe and we have different (right) ways of doing it. I work in company that is preparing forest sites for harvesters. With brush cutters and chainsaws we cut all unnecessary undergrowth and spray paint accurate technological corridors (of that's the right term) according to terrain and all regulations, natural restrictions because FSC certified forests. You can see couple before/after video shots of forests in my channel.
hay dont knock it, it has been known to happen following his own track round and round, it is also known a skiddder operator on night shift to drive over a 120 foor clif, that the government forester never ribbined off
@@arnoldromppai5395 It can happen. I ran off in a creek with a D6 because it was so thickety and I was just running over stuff for reforesting and I missed where i crossed. Took the 6 winch and a skidder to get it out..
@@lewiemcneely9143 it sure can i worked in all the great lakes paper forestry camp from 1976 though 1987 when i fell 18 feet in the dark to the frozen swamp and broke my back all to hell, everything i said above happens .. i was not making thing up.. i have seen it all . i have burn 3 man koring slashers to the ground, as night shift wrench pullers took a vars-al spray gun to the engine compartment, and never put fans in it to flush it out, one stick of an arc air at the other end of the machine, and it went off like a boom

Thank you very much Ted
Love it when the forester runs out of paint! I'm a GPS baby now wont cut without. Enjoy your day
The snow makes it a lot more difficult. I was wishing I had the shape file.
Using a machine sure beats cutting by hand.
Looks like your plan is working out for you so far.
Happy New Year.
Have a great day.
I'm way too lazy to do that by hand. Happy new year.
@@davidhaley7053 I don't blame you.
G'day
@@Murphyslawfarm how you doing Murphy.
@@scruffy6151 I am good mate thanks how are you mate
Looks like you’ve got your hands full. How your experiment is everything you hoped for and more!!
It's definitely a challenge and requires plenty of planning.
Yes bright pink ribbon hung heavy is the best way to avoid a trespass, that paint looked brutal to find
Agreed Sean!
Thanks for the video David. Happy New Year
Nice video, nice to see other forestry machines, Here in Finland we only use Harvesters and forwarders :)
Very interesting video! Also loved the end!
Thank you!
I would love to see more buncher tips n tricks and all this fun stuff. Great video !
Thank you Jared
Thanks for taking us along for the ride Dave. Best Wishes from Wyoming... no, no... not the town, the State... 😁
Your Wyoming Life! We're going to stay with you on our next snowmobile trip out there...😅

Take care my friend!!😀😀
It's not done yet... I'll let you finish it!
@@davidhaley7053 :) Do you need someone to run the 1270??
Your driving a timbco, nothin gets in your way!!
Hahaha. Good point!
Looks like it needs flattening. Then let it come up with no damage and it grows tall and straight. Thanks for the video Mr Dave.
Not going to argue with that philosophy!
Looks like job security to me. You can't go in early. Everybody will recognise you! Happy Newish Year, Buddy!
Thanks Lewie. Happy new year.
@@davidhaley7053 nothing wrong with going backwards either. Folks been telling me I've been backing up all my life. I like west coast mirrors!
Well you could get a good Christmas tree from a top 😂😂😂 looks good what you have got done
Thanks Chuck
Ol' Wades always gotta be different! Lol. Todd the retired trucker.
That he does!

Some pink ribbon goes a long way...
Plenty of shooting lanes for next year
Looking good as always 👍👍
Thanks Josh
Looks good David
Thanks Jason
Hi mr haley hope u had a nice Christmas
Hi George. I did. Hope you did too.
Glad your paying attention sounds like yeaaa it’s complicated hahaha see ya Napa mike
Happy New Year David and have a great day!
Thanks Gene. Happy new year.
Great video !!
Thank you
That could not be easy!
Mary Ruth could do it!
@@davidhaley7053 EASY!
Ribbon must be expensive up there...that paint is sure hard to see.
😅
Nice video - dexterity you have in in a buncher, now to get your Dragster in there without crashing your straight wind rows. Thinning 50% would have been better. cheers
Skidding is going to be a challenge!!!
let the poplar grow... knock the crappy spruce down...lol

Makes me cold too. We got about a foot last night. Thanks Kenny
@@davidhaley7053 last snow here was Halloween that was 4 inches and was 64 degrees on Christmas crazy weather this year
@@kennymysak2079 that is crazy!
Why doesn't all wood get processed on spot with that harvester?
That's an excellent question. I'll try to do a better job of explaining that in a future video. I'm experimenting.

Hello there David.
Hello Joseph!
Basal area for the popple? How much?
Time for a glove in the rattling door.🙂
90 I think
How the hell does the skidder man find the drags if there not huge if you get ahead couple weeks and it snows abunch?
We got over a foot last night...
@@davidhaley7053 awesome..that ought to make those spruce snow filled nice and heavy and fun to fall..whiteout
Haha thinning was a good idea on paper but not so much in the bush haha maybe this is a niche market you can get into to keep on logging?
No thank you. I'll let you though...😅
@@davidhaley7053 wow that was a quick no haha
I hate when they paint property lines. Pink ribbons every 50 ft should be mandatory 😂
Both would be great.
How long ago were the trees painted? I think they expect you to have X-ray eyes.
Our dad harvested that area I'm thinking 42 years ago.
I can't read! I thought you said planted! I would say 3 years ago. Maybe 4.
Good thing you didnt drop your camera you'd never find it..you always have me laughing
That's true Tina
G'day David
G'day!
Headline: MN Logger Lost for 2 Days Following His Own Tracks
I actually did laugh out loud at this comment! Good one👍👍👍
hay dont knock it, it has been known to happen following his own track round and round, it is also known a skiddder operator on night shift to drive over a 120 foor clif, that the government forester never ribbined off
I would wonder why he drove past his truck 37 times? Just sayin'...

how long before u kinda get a headache from snow always fallin down when slapping other trees while layin them ???
Doesn't seem to bother me but now that you said that it probably will... lol
Hey David
Hey Robert!
31st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha
Yes!! way to go!
