That brings back memories, we used to run 12 chokers with a choker bar but we also had chains on all four corners.
That was 30 years and 40lbs ago. keep smiling guys.
YES..LOL..I WAS 195 POUNDS AND IN GREAT SHAPE...NOW 40 YEARS LATER IM 230 POUNDS LOL..I LIVED IN CAMP FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS AND ATE LIKE A HORSE THEN I BOUGHT MY HOME IN MANITOUWADGE ONTARIO. IM RETIRED NOW AND JUST HUNT AND FISH AND YES I STILL CUT BUT ITS JUST BIRCH FOR MY FIREPLACE AND FURNACE FOR WINTER HEAT..
Now that's the SOUND of progress. Love the DD
Ricky deserves a lot more subscribers. Get on it!!
Thanks Squatch. I'm impressed you've taken the time to reply to one of your older videos, thank you. All of what you say is true of course and I understand, his approach is certainly different, but I've found he is very much an acquired taste. It took me a while to appreciate his style. Perhaps it's just me, but I admire his endeavours to get things done in what is obviously a hard life, while maintaining, mostly, a good sense of humour.
I went over because of you. Rick is rick. Take him or not. I talk different than him but not earlier in my life. That is how life goes. Changes
Ahhh we have one of these and we restored it a few years back and it looks like it did at the beginning already 😂 lotsa work but I love the sound of the Detroit Diesel
I've never run a rubber tired but did all mine with a dozer. When I saw the Jack I thought here goes a Cummins but was pleasantly surprised by the bus motor! I remember the old Franklin straight drives with the 53's squealing. I really like bus motors for all matters of stuff. Drove them and operated them and there's nothing like them. Surprise to see you out of the shop. Stir crazy and a little warmer maybe. Good video and stay warm and watch the widow makers!
Well running machine y'all got there. Sounds nice.
You've got some sweet toys!
ONE OF THE BEST EVER MADE..WE USED 230 D TIMBERJACKS ON OUR LOGGING OPERATION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO CANADA. 400 MAN CAMP WITH ABOUT 80 CUT AND SKID CREWS. CAMP 15...1965 TO 1995 .
Cool, I ran one for 25yrs in southern Ontario hauling heavy hardwoods, seldom more than 3 chokers. Bet you've got some stories.
@@oneupmanship It broke my heart when our Pulp mill in Marathon closed and then our camp closed..falling trees and working in the bush is the best job I ever had. I just purchased a home last year in Manitouwadge to retire there next year. I love to hunt moose and fish which northern Ontario boasts the best of both. We would always see wildlife on our way to work and in the winter the moose would come into our cut sites because they were hungry..we would feed them apples and carrots and they would just about take them right from our hands...lol..cheers to you
There’s a old timber jack 230 near identical to this with log crane and carry gear on the back up in the woods hidden away left could probably run again one day.
That sure does beat having to haul out a few birch junks at a time, doesn't it ?
Music, ah that good ol' ' Screamin' Jimmy' sound!
You know, that engine sound has just got to be near OSHA"s allowable decibel threshold of allowable noise of 90 dBA.
Hearing protection optional ???
Yes, he was right about that. I used to work for a large heavy equipment dealer back in the 1970's and then we sold and serviced GM's Terex line, which of course was all powered by and with, the GM Diesel engines right up to the 16V engines. The worst thing , we were told, is DON'T let these idle too long
. I've seen it happen ( and I'll bet you've seen it too, ) or you'll get what they called " wet stacking" ; being a 2-stroke engine design that would rather be working hard at over 2000 R.P.M. or the exhaust manifolds, pipe's and muffler's would become wet with half burned fuel.
So this led to the nick name of "screaming jimmies ".
Just for folks who may not know, General Motors built these engines with two main brand names, General Motors Diesel, and Detroit Diesel, they were the same engine, basically,.
Apparently this was done so GM could sell these engines to other manufacturers like Ford and Chrysler so they didn't have to 'advertise' the GM name on the engine's top pans.
It was better to raise the hood of a Ford or Dodge heavy truck and see DETROIT DIESEL printed on it rather then see GENERAL MOTORS DIESEL.
That's is just to much fun next time squatch is running the skidder and I'll film👍
You did good!
Rick Bork I just came across this on Squatch’s channel you guys should play together more often 🤦♂️😂 holy hell that things loud
shes a screamer!
Need some chains on those tires, my brother had a 1977 208 with the 353, you could hear it 2 miles away. Worked that little machine pretty hard, but it was tough. Steep ground, deep snow but moved a good bit of logs, pulp and firewood.
Used to hear these a lot in the local forest.
Bork, Bork, Bork! (The Swedish chef) 😀
Gettin' 'er done! 😀
Sounds great, any idea how many hours on it?
It's definitely a Detroit.
sounds good i need one / WHAT/ i say sounds GOOD
lol looks fun
Awesome peace of machine a lot going on for a man to watch while operating it . In the logwoods you could get seriously hurt or killed in a heart beat. Not good to let just any jughead on one . NO DOUBT?
PTO powering the wench?
I ran one of those, you dont find them any more. My dad put a 4 53 in a pick up. Yrs bk. Lousy on power.
Супер аппарат!
Most loggers couldn’t stand what the old guys did
Ran one for 25 yrs. Never had to piss around with birch much thankfully. Do you sell it to citiots to stack beside their fake fireplaces? Loved this video though, makes me want to get into the cold bush and freeze my ass off again,
sounds like a 2 stroke Detroit
A little firewood
Where you located
Such a big machine. Doesn’t do much. Really. Hmmm get stuck.
What is your name please!!
i should hope you warmed that "old beast" up first..................
