The fact that he said “I’m glad it happened to you, you guys are starting to make me look bad” tells us everything we need to know about their character. There are still a lot of good men out there
Yea especially when it’s a liability to stand that close when they are cutting. I ran one of these for years. Some times you drop them out of the grapple and they fall where they want. Even on top of the machine. Also wood chunks the size of your fist are fly out.
Was nice to hear it mentioned tree removal are part of a forest management plan. This should be done a lot more on public lands especially pnw Oregon & Washington. Pretty neat you get to travel around to show different types of tree work.
Here, in Europe, we have machines called "harvesters" (for an example John Deere 1470G harvester). Those machines cut trees, limb them, and cut them at a specific length. You should definitely try them one day, they are sick
It's interesting that eu and us work so different systems in the forest. Her in Denmark we also run harvesters and branch of were the machine drive to take care of the ground and tires.
Geography plays a big part in the US. Where I am in southern New England fully mechanized crews will run harvesters with a forwarder more similar to the stuff in the EU.
@@user-zq2cx6bl1g There are companies in the states, who use them. But culture plays a big role here. Americans have that "'Murica, f*ck yeah" mentality and they only use their own technology, even if it is old and slow.
I hope new trees are being planted to replace what’s been cut down. Impressive machines, takes 30-50 years to grow and mere seconds to cut the trees down. Crazy!
I'm sorry Jake but the way it went from Gordy getting a hang of his machine then cuts to you with a tree stuck had me in stitches 😂😂 great work though guys, love the content.
Those tree cutting machines are so awesome and cutting down trees sounds awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Gordie!!!!! Don't make them look bad!!!!!! You and Jake are studs.....we get that.......sheesh! Great video! So cool to see those machines in action!! I guess we can start calling you "Operator Jake"! LOL
That blade on the green machine looks similar to what they sometimes attach to a helicopter to trim trees back from power lines that are out in an open area (as in away from structures, etc.). I got to see this done once. Not necessarily good for the health of a tree but certainly efficient to trim back miles worth of trees at a time.
I've seen other versions of these machines in documentaries that also quickly strip all the branches off, leaving a clean log that can be immediately put on the truck for the mill.
I noticed Jake hiding behind a tree when watching those machines going. I feel like that could be a mistake. That’s like hiding from a hippo in a mud hole.
So i always wamted to run a feller. What kind of controls do they use? Are they similar to a John Deere grapple loader or are they more along the lines of an excavator?
I don't know man, I ran hotsaws for a while. I do plenty of stupid stuff, dumb stuff on dirt bikes, riding up and down fields on farm implements, so on and so forth. You absolutely do not screw with hotsaws however. They will snip you in half before you have a chance to wiggle. When it comes to the wheeled versions, they estimate that there is enough energy in that spinning disk to flip the machine on its side if you could stop the blade instantly. I've seen people 150 ft away get hit in the chest with one of the chips coming out of that thing. It left a mark. Cool videos and everything, but you're setting yourself up for a serious accident if you're dumb enough to stand in front of one of those heads when the disc is spinning.
That was awesome bro love the last three videos that was cool seeing y'all cut / mill/& run those machines. love the work you're doing bro keep it up and stay safe no more dropping 🌲's on machines😂
Then I would say why not go with nothing but tracked fellers. Might cost more for the tracks and you do not move as quick but you probably do not go through tracks as much as tires and tracks can be repaired a piece at a time instead of the whole track.
Great vid and amazing machines but it does also sadden me. We humans are so good at making bigger and faster machines to destroy things bigger and faster. Taking them down one at a time, like you and Gordy do, there's more of a chance to appreciate the individual tree. At least they leave some behind, unlike the "clear-fell" policy here in Scotland. And, as someone below said, it's supply and demand. Recommended reading: "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohlleben. "Finding the Mother Tree" by Suzanne Simard, both non-fiction, and the novel "Barkskins" by Annie Proulx. ✌
That's awesome to see other areas of logging and how they do things, I'm a second generation logger in New Mexico. Many people don't realize we have trees worth falling.😂 We have steep Rocky terrain and are usual at 9-10,000 ft. elevation. If you and Gordy are ever bored enough swing down to New Mexico.😅
these machines are cool but I love my Stihl chainsaw. Thanks for posting keep up the great work always love your videos gets me in the mood to cut timber
I thought about what Joe said about a 3k tire to harvest a 2 dollar tree🤔. The machine itself has to be a 100k or better plus the maintenance costs. Wow!!! Just to thing, our grand fathers used 2 man buck saws and horse drawn skids. Better yet, they had a climber to limb and top the tree first, before felling it.
Dope vlog as always jake ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 would love to see those machines picking up some of Pennsylvanias sycamores those stems are like us holding pens to that machine lol 🤌🏾🤌🏾👌🏾
If you think the feller buncher is fun, just wait til you get to run the excavator attachment chipper/grinder😂 that thing is insane on video but seeing it in person, just shred a tree in seconds, it's wild😂❤ I got a lot of seat time between the feller buncher with delimber and the chipper/grinder and it was great
Soy del estado de oaxaca mexico,trabaje operando esta mequina la primera tigercat y puedo decirles que en una año aprendi a manejar mejor que ellos yo cortaba 17 trailar al dia de pinos molidos y el corte tiene que ser arras del suelo
800 per day? They should have that done before coffee break with decent density. I don’t mean to be an arse, I’ve just watched them in action. Cut a tree, limb it, too it and stack it in about a minute. Limbers loading trucks is equally impressive. Many snowmobile trails are also logging roads. They have priority so you sit and watch. I almost want to just keep watching instead of going again when they finish.
Couldn’t answer for them but it depends on the tree/wood type along with the ground they’re working on. Sometimes the cut to length isn’t always the best or most efficient when clearing an area
I like saws, axes, wood, hard work etc but not gonna lie it does sadden me to see trees disappearing at such a rate. Save the hate: I know it’s us that creates the demand, I’m in construction I get it, but one machine taking 800 a day times however many thousands of this machines are throughout the USA alone.
@@gretchenmorfea5988 this areas their cutting are probably trees grown to cut down in all actuality, but still if u stand back and look there’s thousands of those things, plus the possible hundreds of thousands of guys with saws or other not quite as fancy machines it’s kinda mind blowing. In Michigan where I live the whole entire state is trees but u have to search out trees that are actually old. It’s like the whole state has been cut at LEAST once in our very recent past.
I would love to see you both drive those monsters into a neighborhood with a half dozen biggies in the back yard Look at the owner and say" Well here we are! Heheheheh CHeers, Rik Spector

those machines are impressive but have they ever witnessed the legendary chain saw chain saw?
And do those big wheels really compare to saw chain saw chain? I think we all know the answer.
Never!! Nothing is a match for that monsters
@@michaelwillson6847 Not even an MS 881 with an 84'' bar can trump the brute power of chainsaw chainsaw.
Bow down before chainsaw chainsaw
When they came up with the phrase "Good Ole' Boys" they were talking about those guys. What an honor and experience to get to play in their backyard.
It was definitely super nice of them to let you run and show off the world of forestry equipment
Yea especially when it’s a liability to stand that close when they are cutting. I ran one of these for years. Some times you drop them out of the grapple and they fall where they want. Even on top of the machine. Also wood chunks the size of your fist are fly out.
I'm sure Jed is smiling down at you two! Nice work!
Loved Gordies commentary around the fifteen minute mark!
What a cool guy to put you all in his machines. That's are certainly very important to his lively hood. Props to Joe Dirt.
Was nice to hear it mentioned tree removal are part of a forest management plan. This should be done a lot more on public lands especially pnw Oregon & Washington. Pretty neat you get to travel around to show different types of tree work.
You and Gordy are cutters. The machine modes aren't what you do. Still...hats off...you guys are amazing.
Crazy how efficient we humans have become at transforming landscapes
Thanks to you and Gordy for visiting Arizona! 😊 😊
Awesome to see yall out there getting out of your comfort zone trying new things.
I run a 724 tigercat, the saw recovery is amazing
Shoes wear fast in Arizona, too, on all the rock.

I’m surprised they let you get so close to that thing. Those hot saw are no joke
800 trees. I cut 800 trees the other day in less than 3 hours with a rubber tire cutter
Those machines should see a doctor asap, BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK!!!
What a hoot! Getting to run 500k dollar machines, if not more, that you don't have to buy or maintain.
Over 700,000 subscribers! Glad to see your hard work coming to fruition, Jacob.
Does he ever say where in either the Coconino National Forest or Kaibab they were working?
Awesome content dude!

Awesome video. The overhead shots were amazing!! Thanks 👍🏻🍀
That was freaking rad!! So cool that you got to do that!!!
seems u & Gordy had some fun as well as gaining some useful skills on those machines. Joe & his team seem like a great bunch to work with.
What a blast.
Crazy to watch that process.
Great job
Stay safe

I can't believe how nice that ground is. Beautiful working conditions
Holy sh*t I'm obsessed with logging machinery now. This stuff is insane. My little nephew will love watching this one with Uncle Pat 😂
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for posting.
this was an awesome video, puts us hand fallers to shame😂
Fun video, but I gotta say, it takes the romance out of tree cutting!❤❤❤
so sweet watching those work. thank you for the great video! super cool seeing the inside view too.
We’ve seen you in the PNW, in the SW, in Appalachia, on the east coast, now we need to see you on some southern yellow pine down in the swamps
I've seen other versions of these machines in documentaries that also quickly strip all the branches off, leaving a clean log that can be immediately put on the truck for the mill.
My farther ran a logging crew for a paper mill in savannah ga for 47 years. the company was union camp.
Crushing it! Interesting to see how each machine was able to work a bit differently. Great vid.
So... Jacob, when will these machines be available at Sappy Supplies?!
In the south, we call them a shear
Up north a shear to use uses to knives to more or less pinch the wood, we also call them hotsaws up here
Save the tree 🌲 ❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome watching this equipment work. Thanks for sharing and showing them!
Bloody Good show mate 🎉🤠👌👌🤙🤙💯🥳🥳💪👍
Damn, you were filming so close to those machines and loose trees!!!
I work for the old CAT. Company...it's now weiler Forestry. I build D-linbmers.
I'd like to see you guys go out and play with Logger Wade
I freakin love this channel....
I noticed Jake hiding behind a tree when watching those machines going. I feel like that could be a mistake. That’s like hiding from a hippo in a mud hole.
So i always wamted to run a feller.

Just a tip never leave the saw on when you get off stall it out in a stump before you get off but you done good

wow! that is so cool an amazing!
Where I’m at in north Florida pulpwood is the money crop here and the guys that run the feller bunchers they’ll take out 100 acres a day,easy.

Jacob bragging "this ones better at going in and out from long distances"
I can’t imagine what would happen to the Amazon rain forest if just a few Brazilian ranchers got their hands on these machines 🤨
Damn as a sawyer this kinda hurts. So much goes into felling and these monsters come in and take that shit in seconds
Are the left-in stumps good for the forest?
Can't help but notice we didn't get any of the Guilty super close ups of the sawdust flying or hinge wood in this one 😂
Love the video but my allergies are acting up because of all this tree cutting 😵💫😂

what that type name and what they use for?

Right! Most people know Phoenix area but the northern part of the state is all forest.
@@VegasEdoI know 😂 New Mexico like that too but people do just picture both states as the Sahara 😂 me included
Those are the robots that will become infected with AI that’s gonna take our jobs.

Are they clear-cutting this area? Seems odd that they're taking all of the small trees that are useless for lumber anyway.
No. He said in the video, they are thinning it. part of fire management amongst other things.
