Love seeing the mountain work. Man they are hard days for sure though. It’s a battle for every tree. Keeping the trees from coming in the skidder with ya is tough sometimes!! Great video and really glad to get your take on the saw. Keep loggin hard men 👍
Good job, building the roads. I love to watch equipment, whether it's pushing dirt or digging dirt or hauling dirt. Be careful and stay safe and keep on logging and making more videos.
Ol boys a ace dozer man..I can tell he’s done it before and knows exactly what to do in bout any situation…just the way he keeps that machine as productive as it can be…I’d like to come down and cut a jag or 10..definitely an oak man myself and done bout all types of cuttin in several fields…gasline,power line,tv, logged just a tad and mainly done climbin and residential stuff bout 13yr for myself…what ida gave to brought y’all this 880 and let you try the 47” hardnose stihl bar then my tsumara 36” light n tough pullin a skip .404 silvey razor sharp chain on that big one..one clean cut..all 3 of us holdin the sob lmao
I live in East Ky and surrounded by step hills and mountains. The mountain behind my house is pretty steep. I have a small cabin that I built at the top... I've always wanted to get someone to block out a road for me with a dozer... It fascinates me to see dozers cutting roads on steep mountainsides.
Bought time to weld on some track grousers . There getting a little worn down! Tracks are slipping too much! God bless you and your family! Keep up the great work!
I have watched dirt perfect working that little 450 jd and Jerry can skin cat dang good but thats how it gets by... the 660 jd you have moves some dirt! Dang straight that machine would spoil me. I have run cats six's, seven's an up through the nine... they all have a place but now seeing youn's machine is impressive.
Hey man , this is really good stuff , good quality shots too . love the country side , That's some difficult logging . One wrong move and it's over , stay safe and keep em coming , Thank you .
I have property that is pretty steep on the lower slope of a small mountain in New England. The large boulders would make for a pretty tough operation if we attempted to build this sort of road. The old skidder trails pretty much go straight up and down the slope. It would be nice to have a trail with a more gradual incline.
Nice job on the road. I live in hill country also. I have to pull way too much cable...usually big timber though...hard work...I'm 50...lol...nice review of the saw..
Growing up in BC interior. We built logging roads with a fella buncher followed by a skidder and a 300-450 size hoe. Dozers seemed to take to long. We had thick clay l, gravel, hard rock and any mix. If it was steep enough you could use a high line or heli-log. But it really has to be big timber and select species. 48"+ ceder, Doug fir.. etc.
Y'all are some hard workers. I like that dozer. Ive used a lot of holzfforma parts to fix up my 372. Couldnt afford oem replacement parts. Aint had too many problems yet after about a year
How’s it hanging Mr Hoskins.? Kinda hilly spot but nice logs. I’ve always thought I could adapt to any kind of logging , anywhere, and be at least successful. But those steep hills are not desirable and I’ll stick with Pine Sawtimber down here in Ga any day. But much respect to you for logging those challenging hills But if I had to I would give it hell too Bros. Yal b careful and stay standing up and let the timber fall down. AC
@@StumpjumperVideosPA yessir Mr Dale!! Bout like these ole SYP’s I was brought up nawwin down. Poppa told Mama when I was a lil thing to put a couple of teaspoons of turpentine in every bottle I was fed. Now Donna fixes me a cup every morning to drink as I’m headed out the door. And I tell ya this Bros, It keeps your bark slick, your needles green , and your roots balled up!! Hey, yal tighten up every chance ya get!! And let’s go get another load!!
I got the graphite, 70cc graphite pro saw. Not a bad saw, cant use stihl bar, but oregon worked well, also be careful with the chain size, i had one made, 52 links for my 24” bar???? Anyways, i know you know, but maybe somebody doesnt…. It’s not as snappy as my 500, but just to go out, delimitation, cut a few trees, and know it wont let me down for a FRACTION of the price of my 500, I’d do it again in a heart beat. I sorta crunched my 500 and hadda rebuild most of the outside lol, that gets expensive, (actually could have bought a second holts for the same price as a lite bar, handle, and the gas tank) cost me for stihl lol….anyways, cool video, i might pull the trigger on a little dozer to keep with me on jobs so I don’t have to rely on somebody else…..great vid
How large are the blocks that are being harvested on these hills? Do you know if a pre harvest layout crew would walk these proposed roads? Great video btw! Earth work and side cuts is very ballsy work
When your cutting a road do you prefall the trees so they can land against the base of 2 or more trees to help hold rocks soil etc... for the path base? These lilltle cats are great for preserving forrested land or selective logging low impact shows. Tree farming land !!!
We put the roads in first, which makes the timber harvesting go a little smoother. Usually don't have too much erosion while the site is active. Then everything gets water barred and sown with grass.
greetings from a retired American logger living here in the Philippines just wondering how ar up and or down the hill are you falling timber? is it a clear cut? thinning ?
It holds 41 gallons.these dozers were direct drive,some had tork converters. The tork converter models used a little more fuel. These were very good machines in those years.very efficient compared to a hydrostatic. Not as fast or maneuverable
Beside the nicer weather looks a lot like where I log in Vermont. Hilly, steep, lots of good wood. Mainly pine. But we get into some good stands of hardwoods. I'd much rather be logging sw wv or eastern ky. Tis where family is and I'm from. Mingo county westbygodvirgnia.
There's no screwing around with Pop's!! Drop the hammer it's time to get her done! The ground is always steeper, and the trees are always bigger in person. Camera doesn't do it justice. Be good gentlemen.
@@hoskinslogging9858 I like Pops a lot. He goes into beast mode on the dozer ! AKA madman!! You do a great job as well brother. PRODUCTION ,You guys are a perfect team. How do I contact you?
I don't know but I would think that the cost of all that machine time and labor cutting that skid road it would be cheaper to bring in a small twr after you fall the timber
Don’t really have the access for that. It would take tremendous amounts of blasting to put equipment like that on these ridges. And never mind trucking off them after a rain. Can it be done; probably. But this is the way we have done it for years. It’s the best way we know how. Thanks for watching buddy.
I got a Chinese saw last winter cheap and not expecting anything but has surprise me and is Worth money if not use to make $ every day logging parts are not made to last to many cheap weak plastic parts on clutch side
Stihl is originally german not usa. Husky is german originally. Husky basically poulan in orange case and USA stihl is finished in Virginia this for someone that knocking him for use cheap throw away. Keep up hard work and videos. Nice work with blade.
Identical to tater Br where I cut last…can’t set yer gas down without diggin a spot out first…packed my gas oil and big water jug and started with a 362 and cut 3 and the boy said I’m goin to get you a bigger saw lol got a 461 24” cuttin massive hollow hickory 3 men and 1 650h…people have no idea what hard work is…I see your no stranger to it and would fit right in my crowd…if we can get buckin and wade behind you..you could put ky loggin on the TH-cam map lol..lay in there ol buddie…matt

Get after it, boys. Lookin a lot like progress!
Nice. My friend used the 660 for cutting timber. He replaced the carb with a stihl carb and said it was a beast.
Bought time to weld on some track grousers . There getting a little worn down! Tracks are slipping too much! God bless you and your family! Keep up the great work!
I can smell the dirt and roots. :)
I’m impressed by the operator
I could watch these kind of videos for hours keep up the good work

That little machine does good work
Good operator is always planning his next push
4 wheeling or dirt bike riding on a fresh logging road. 👍👍👍
Nice ! That looks like the job I just finished on w,v line sum gum was steep HALF MILLION feet on a cliff !
Oh paw paw likey that dozer !!!!

sir i gotta say yall got some big brass to be on them hill sides be safe great video btw kept the saw outta the way lol
Thanks 👍
@@hoskinslogging9858 anytime brother besafe and merry Christmas to the logging family
Merry Christmas to you as well.
Memories!!
We should have been born with one leg longer than the other ...LoL
Haha yea. If I spend much more time on this hillside mine probably will be
Love the videos not alot of talking or music just equipment running just wish there was more videos a week
I’m trying to accomplish that. This is the third one this week. I’m getting a little faster at editing so hopefully I can keep it up
Thank you.
Man i wish i could work again but with one lung and lonely 40% hart of my hart lift i can't. Cut tumber for all most 35 years and loved it
Hope the videos take you back a little bit. Thanks for watching
@@hoskinslogging9858 It did the time i spent in the woods was life to me .It hurts my hart i cant do it now

greetings from a retired American logger living here in the Philippines just wondering how ar up and or down the hill are you falling timber? is it a clear cut? thinning ?
It’s a select hardwood cut we cut down to whatever size the landowner wants. We will go up to the ridge
How much fuel do you go through in an eight hour period running your 650G? I always wonder about how efficient a bulldozer is. Thanks! Great Video!
It’ll use somewhere around a half of tank. If you’re pushing hard for eight hours. But just regular logging work, it’ll use a little less
Not sure what the capacity of the tank is
Great video
It holds 41 gallons.these dozers were direct drive,some had tork converters. The tork converter models used a little more fuel. These were very good machines in those years.very efficient compared to a hydrostatic. Not as fast or maneuverable
Beside the nicer weather looks a lot like where I log in Vermont. Hilly, steep, lots of good wood. Mainly pine. But we get into some good stands of hardwoods.

Are the muffler bearings interchangeable on those saws also??
I’d say so

how far do you skid your timber? roughly how many feet?
I would say a little less than a quarter mile.
I hate cuttn steep ground be careful brother.
Will do buddy
How many acres is this job?
Not sure. Maybe 50-70 acres. We haven’t been logging real heavy through the summer. But we’re back in now and about to finish this place up
I usually cut all the trees down with a power saw. What is more efficient?
Power saw?
I got a Chinese saw last winter cheap and not expecting anything but has surprise me and is Worth money if not use to make $ every day logging parts are not made to last to many cheap weak plastic parts on clutch side
Is that a wide track
Yep
What is a "bench"?
Flat area on the side of the hill
Where about y'all located?
Based out of owsley county, Ky
Shit ain't gonna last wen ya toss em around
Still runnin
Obviously not his first day driving dozer!
