Looks similar from the back. Its just a little old 320L . With a Young jib and live heel/ grapple. It's not overly fast or powerful. But it is the most cost efficient logging I've ever seen. Dan would get 3 days on 25 gal of fuel. . Comes out to somewhere around. ..3 gal. Per thousand board feet.
Or 25 gal per 75 mbf.

Leapfrogging, it gets'er done.

I have never done shovel logging but have leap frogged a thousand yards of dirt a 1/4 miles with a samsung 240. Had no choice couldnt get trucks to it and it was more efficient than pushing it with a dozer

That 320L is a CAT. The company I worked for had a 690Elc excavator with a live thumb on it. We used it in a few blow downs. Made the work a lot safer and easier.

Buckin at the mill with Dan's 3120 Husky . And a smooth chain.

I broke a chain 8 times. ( I was using 4 new chains) and I think I broke every one at least once. 1 I broke 2 or 3 times

 

[treeslayer2003]

That saw just keeps chugging and chugging. You sure that wasn't the diesel model? Remind me to stay (get?) on your good side, you handle that 3120 like I handle a 435!

Broke all of them with the 390 with an 8 tooth on it. And not overly hungry. But. I got hung up plenty

If I was in the brush with that saw it would be more argessive. But a 3120 doesn't start to get heavy until about 4 hours into the day. But they do wear a guy out because where the chain is put up to match the saws power it totally wears a guy out holding it out of the cut. And your always packing it because it cuts so fast.

Maybe for you

OK. So I think this is the falling vid. There r 3 parts to it.
This is the first. It has the best part. Well the first best part. The face. . I use some tricks with it see who can spot them.
No, my chain isn't cutting that well. It was before I took the last root off before this tree. Oh well, it still cuts. Falling, 1 - YouTube

 

[tramp bushler]

Well, that's weird. The sound is off by 20 seconds and the quality is kinda crappy. Oh well guess I get what I pay for.

I thought for sure you were just about to attach a stuffed tigger to that thing you stuck in the face!:msp_biggrin:

When Dan was saying "get your tip up" were you thinking "shut up Dan"?

I was just laughing at how easy you made that face look. You could give me a thousand of those and I'd never make the cuts match like that. Well worth the wait and technical difficulties.

Looked to me you were kerf dutchin on the right to swing it a little left, but I had the sound off.

Good job keeping your thumb wrapped!:msp_biggrin:

That was extremely cool to watch, thanks for taking the time to post this for us.

Respectfully silly,
jon

In 2008, I used a CAT 312 CL and leapfrogged a few thousand yards from a building site, down a draw to make a road. It was all granite and decomposed granite (horrible digging).

Not the best way to move dirt, but it did the job.
