One bad ass log truck

[tramp bushler]

Nice little load of logs I cut.
.

Course from a $$ standpoint I made more on this load.

Hey diesel . Does the 89 run . What tranny does it have in it ?

Yeah it ran well until some weak link in the fuel system took a dump one winter, haven't had time to fix, and then the small parts started coming off....

Not really worth fixing, too rusty, voltage draw, leaks everywhere, a couple glow plugs snapped off in heads, etc.

It has the 4spd +overdrive.

I already took the starter, batteries, and a couple lites etc

Nice truck yourself by the way.

Tramp, that's a fine piece of old iron you got there.

We had Ural troop carrier trucks in the army. They were not the ones in the video, but earlier versions. The only difference was that the newer had a diesel engine and the older ones a V8 carburetor.

They were bumpy rides back then, sitting on the wooden benches. The drivers always tried to beat each other in the bush. If the driver pulled out choker while stepping on it, the tale pipe would spit out a 3 feet long flame. It wasn't a pretty sight watching it closely. Sometimes we had real comedian as driver. We couldn't help it much, because they just disappeared after dropping the unit in the woods.

Good morning, Sunshine ! Better have some more coffee.

You best retire to Montana Bob. Not East coast or West coast. Just falling timber........and shooting at anything that crosses the state line from either direction........we'll make an exception for you though pard.

Nice truck, Tramp. Is that the original military camo paint job, or is the paint just peeling off?
Either way, very cool!

Both . My goal is to put a good hyd pump on it and a self loader . Take the bed off . Put a set of bunks on it . Get another one , chop it off behind the cab , set of bunks, reach and most importantly put all the drive shafts and carriers on so the trailer has power to the wheels. Eventually put 1100,20s all the way around .
Should make a good 5 or 6 cord forwarder

I've thought about it. Often.

One crazy ass snow logging tractor

Flogg me if this has been posted before. Have to go in to about 4:25 into the video for the logging application.

[tramp bushler]

Well I've never seen it before.

 

[2dogs]

Why do we need a video forum .. I wouldn't

waste my time going there to see some cookie cutter goober around . I've watche

To be clear tramp my video forum would only be videos members find online. It would not include videos taken be AS members of themselves or others.

These Russian videos, the guy in the little white truck who pulls a tree over on himself, the guy who drops a tree on his snow covered house while his wife holds the camera, the guy who tops a tree and the top gets caught in his rope, the tree falling on the Jeep pickup while the mom screams, and a few others are posted here constantly. Those reposts would be greatly reduced under the "2dogs video posting enforcement program".

That style of driving reminds me of my forestry days.

It would be real chilly wearing leather corks right now .

The State DNR wont let me log between breakup and freezup .

Spoken like a true Californian, rules for rules sake.:msp_rolleyes::msp_razz:

Unfortunatly YUP! 2Dogs , what the heck is wrong "I'm tempted to say with you " , but I respect you so I don't want to cast aspersions on you .
Heres a story about laws and rules .
In explaining Grace the Apostel Paul said " before the law there was no sin " .
I never really understood that until 1 day when I was cutting along a draw that some USFS blankety blank had flagged as a fish crik . .
I was having to beat these little 1log under story hemlocks so they quarterd up the bank .
Of course the right way to cut a draw is to start in the bottom of it ' fall everything inleade with the draw and back as far up it as you can . Then go up and

 

[tramp bushler]

Quarter yhe sides down the sider of the draw down the sides . Leaving stumps just high enough to catchwhat they can so u don't have to be chaseing up and down the hill .

Ok so thats the right way. But then some rule or law was made making what was RIGHT , wrong . .
All because someone made a rule .

Since posting video links in Not tantamount to say , speed limits , drunk driving or nuclear arms treaties perhaps a little forebearance would be better than more rules and laws .


After all , if you don't want to take a chance you don't have to click the link .

Hmm. Should I be enraged that you would want me to follow your religious views as infallible ie Man should not eat unclean animals (that means no bacon) (Jesus said he did not come to repeal the laws of Moses)? Or should I be concerned you are wasting our precious bodily bandwidth? Or maybe that people not using the AS provided search function deeply insult the owner of AS? But maybe I have much greater appreciation of furums having been a moderator on a much larger site. No I just hate Illinois Nazis and Russian Communists and think their videos should be banned.

 

[tramp bushler]

Nope . Links r us .:msp_thumbdn:

And fill them draws up so the nice big stuff can be fell cross leade to them and not break .

FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!

 

[tramp bushler]

As an American you should try to evangelize those Communists by democratically allowing them to post thier cool Log Truck videos .



And just WHO is being the Nazi . You can't do this , You can,t do that . Talk about dictatorial , tyranical meglomaniacs .

If we were in the crummy I'de probably use stronger language . But "LIKE SEROOUSLY DUDE , GET A CLUE "

 

[northmanlogging]

rules are made to be broken gents, how else would any country/church afford to "govern" their subjects? I say less rules means less b.s. less red tape, and less bureaucratic morons running around.

Except, there are bad people who take advantage of every little loophole--cheat and leave a mess. Like creeks. Now some of you can probably fall the timber right to the water, so the yarding equipment would stay out of the creek. But, along comes somebody else who can't afford the correct machine, is a bad faller, and drives his D-9 with blade down, up the creek, or pounds in a corduroy road IN the creek to walk the shovel up, and gets on the bad side of the fish heads (fish bios) so they have to make more rules. And so it goes.

The corduroy episode actually happened.
