My Father-in-law, who I used to cut timber with, used to like to tease me about my baby face...his favorite was saying that I was the only timber faller he ever knew that outgrew his first pair of cork boots...it was actually true Awesome pics Randy and pac! When is somebody gonna invent a time machine so I can go back and play in the big wood with all those old boys!
Geeze, one-log loads ALL DAY LONG. No wonder the old-timers cruised with Biltmore sticks -- buck and scale didn't mean much until the tree was on the ground, so that was plenty accurate!
This thread was a FANTASTIC pick-me-up. Loved seeing the great pics of that old beast, the iron men who brought it down, and the old iron/magnesium they cut and hauled it with. Nothing but Old McCulloch, Homelite, and International Harvester there. Those TD24's and that Log truck (my guess is an IHC R9000 series) look to be almost brand new aside from some dirt and grime. The whole thing takes a fellow's breath away.
