Nice job! I still think you should patent your idea.

Wow - good thing you pay attention to lunch time and didn't keep mowing !!

Funny thing Gordon
When working as a logger, breaks and lunch time were critical and essential time points of the day.
Breaks were 10am, lunch at 12:30 and another break at 2:30. Done at 4 pm.
To this very day, l robotically follow this schedule as if l’m programmed and work no where near as hard when l was logging. As a matter of fact, l take breaks waiting for the break.
I figure this internal clock of mine may have saved me a few thousand. One little rear ring gear is over $700 per.

Yes, for sure. It was a heavy old 1980's Woods M4 brush hog chained to the loader bucket.

I'm infinitely more cognizant of reaching under a lifted loader for anything, these days.

Never ever get under a lifted loader and if you have to, use a piece of angle iron you can drape over the extended cylinder so it can’t come down.
Also wise to zip tie the angle iron.

Nice..very nice looking forward to video.

Finished your crane...and still found time to paint your front weights Mr. Gordon!

Bet your shadow has to run just to keep up with you!

That's the mark of a good logger. You don't seem to be working as hard as somebody who thrashes and tears, more of a slow steady pace. At the end of the day though you had the same or more wood out because you weren't working against yourself. Minor repairs are fixed before they became major, and the small wood is picked up which some run over.

Great comment bro!

Looking back through the now thinned hemlock stand from today’s last cut tree. It looks thicker than it actually is because of overlap of trees in the distance.
Crown Spacing of the larger trees is around 18-20 feet. Still a bunch of sub 6 inch trees to cut.

With that crown spacing, do you get any brush growing in below it after?

The theory behind this particular action is to promote new and perhaps more varied growth. Chances are some lower growth species will happen but the plan is for a mixed species and age to emerge over the coming decades.
