THIS!!! ..walking logs limbing.. head-up on a swivel, we rarely work on flat ground. Feet and toes out from under logs. Less reaching or bending.. And strong fit loggers SLING big saws as a matter of efficiency, we don't LUG anything around.. thx, for pointing it north.
Good memories here my dad was a logger in British Columbia he had the same Skidder I always remember him spraying either starting fluid in her to get her going on the cold days! Good to see you guys work safe with two of you working together as my dad was a one man show Faller,Limber,Driver I always thought it was very dangerous as this was the time before cell phones just good old CB radios in your pickup, Great Video Thanks Dale.
+LittleRVrentals.com - The 440's have some character. They can be super tippy and kinda cold blooded. This one likes to be parked on a slight downhill to keep the injector pump primed, then a little shot of ether and a shake of the steering wheel to relieve hyro pressure and out you go for some real off-roading... just watch those side pulls :)
We yarded a lot of timeber with both the JD 440 and JD 640 skidders along with a Cat D6C. We also had a couple of Cat wheel loaders - 966C and 966B - both with log forks and top clamps. I ran all of that equipment, set a ton of chokers behind all of that stuff and bumped about 10 million knots over the years. Grew up in a family logging business in Northern Calif, so a lot of this logging footage on TH-cam is nostalgically familiar. :)
I inherited the same skidder late last year it needs tires which are impossible to locate , everybody says to change the wheels but not to what and also a new drag line cable . This machine ran with 6 chokers . Really enjoyed your video . I just like to get this one working to do a bit of firewood for my self
@@redlinetimber she does run both the engine and the winch were totally rebuilt so it is worth finding tires , hope you made more videos like to see em
+Bobby Horn - In these settings, the sound of the forest can sometimes seem louder than the operation itself... and the machines are the sound of a dinner bell to the animals. They come from all around to feast on the abundance of food laying at their feet that was beyond their reach just days before... not a bad view from the office
+Dan Ryan - Sweet... I've got my dual ported .044 turning 15,000 rpm and singing a sweet tune. Speaking of tuning, I'll be posting the "easy way" to dual port, modify and tune an .044 Magnum. It's pretty much the only saw a guy needs. Thanks :)
this is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam!!! I love the small gypo outfits. I work for a large logging company out of woodland wa. anyways. hope to see some more uploaded.
+StumpjumperVideos - "By sun and cold and in rain and snow... in trees and men, strong timbers grow"... I'm a third generation logger and we're running out of "old school" fast... they don't make 'em like they used to...
got a little 225 jack to restore and still use on jobs i actually owen this very machine 3 times in my 35 yr career , got it back this time for 4k gonna keep it this time ,mybe get buried in it,lol!!
+Skidderpilot - Thanks for the big thumbs-up... The "mountain mule" is a little beast, he'll take you places most would be to scared to go and the winch can just flip him over with-out a hitch. It's a party with every turn, at every turn :-D ...Then there's that juke-box in my mind thing... all in a days work
+squawmtn D4G - It never rains under a tin hat... and the sun don't shine under it neither :) ...Somewhere an operator leans out of the cab, looks over his forlorn choker-setter shaking cold and wringing wet and offers, "you look miserable, you wanna call it and go home"... The kid starts to light-up and says "heck yeah"... and receives the time honored reply... "we'll do that at quitting time'
Hot Logging: yarding/skidding out from under the cutter and/or straight to a loading deck(not cold deck)... truck is between rounds, not waiting on turns in the landing (losing money, grumping driver!!).. :)
+FabriGater - Thanks, glad you "liked" it... Yep we're logging in the PacNW, on a private sale in southwestern Oregon :) "...Loggers know the difference between the Forest and the Woods..."
Yes, etiquette we must use.. as loggers rarely get called fancy, that leads to dust-ups under the butt-riggin' and/or in the landing.. So, the terms we use in the PNW have been common, passed down and unchanged since steam donkeys... they can be found in old logging books, but rarely online.. good interesting stuff
I used the same method for 30 yrs. Theres no reason to be lugging a 32" bar around in that little timber. I used a 034 Super with a 16" bar and i had the turn down and limbed. So then i'd grab the mainline an run it out and help hook. I liked to make 4 to 6 turns an hour. I forgot to say my wife ran the skidder. She maintained and ran the skidder for 16 yrs. Over the yrs we ran a C4 Treefarmer, C5-D Treefarmer and a S8 International. The S8 was a high production machine. I;m also a third generation logger
Je travaille très très bien bien Jeny ça va être trop trop bon weekend grave grave bisous bisous bo gosse Jonathan 👍😀☺️👌👍💔ça va être grave grave bon sérieux sérieux
I think the idea behind the 32" saw is LESS BENDING!!!!!!!!

..is she a runner?? did you find out what wheels work?? thx for commenting and the compliment!!.. let us know

Love the small logging sets more than the bigger ones.

Great video and fun too! You boys make it look easy!
mshuman doing - Thanks for the thumbs up!... I'm thinking, "It's better to 'make it look easy'... than to make it look difficult!" :)
Nice work...I just finished a rebuilt an old 044 Magnum to back up my new 441 Magnum...great saws!

I'd definitely be interested in seeing how that is done.

Thx.. And super cool comment! stay safe.. and pop a wheelie:)
Super video thumbs up!
Awesome, thx.. thumbs up to you as well, be sharp and safe :)
old school , love it !!!

old school? low overhead is how i look at it.
Great video The old 440s series still working today. Music a bit "over powering" of logging sounds, but great video anyhow.

Thanks for commenting... stay safe out there! ...I've got more logging(cat and yarder) videos coming, so stop again
A tin hat tin britches and a hickory shirt, west cost logger for shure! Thumbs up.

Great video
Thanks.. flat ground, fun loggin'.. glad you enjoyed
Nice video
Thanks for the big thumbs up.. much appreciated :)
Hello . good job nice vid. What sort of transmission on a 440 ? all Mechanic or powershift ? Thanks for the answer.
Syncro
@@andercoincvideos5551 Thanks.
My dad had one I use to run when I was a boy but his was a 440-A
Apparently there is different definition for hot logging? Term usually means straight to the truck off the landing
Hot Logging: yarding/skidding out from under the cutter and/or straight to a loading deck(not cold deck)... truck is between rounds, not waiting on turns in the landing (losing money, grumping driver!!).. :)
I see this skidder is now for sale on machinery trader , just upgraded?
Nice video! Pacific Northwest somewhere?

Been running my boss 440b I think it’s a 77
fun little machines.. lots of pulling power in the winch for sure, just watch those side pulls.. she'll rear up with a quickness, eh!!
A love you jeny bisous bisous 👍😀👌☺️ grave grave 👍💖 avec beaucoup de respect pi en douceur cai ça cai bon weekend grave grave 👍 Jonathan 💔
thank you for your kind comments. I agree, he's a handsome little skidder (jeny)!!
A 20 inch bar more than enough for that wood.
And get rid of that fancy terminology, your dragging logs to a loading deck end of story. Otherwise pretty cool.

this would be the hot setup in 1975....
..that little skidder has done some serious work.. he's just a bit of a party on steep stuff :)

We would not cheap end cut so you could tell last log
Je travaille très très bien bien Jeny ça va être trop trop bon weekend grave grave bisous bisous bo gosse Jonathan 👍😀☺️👌👍💔ça va être grave grave bon sérieux sérieux
Yes, we have huge appreciation for the woods, the machines that work in them and those that recognize their importance.. thanks Jonathan
