The sans are good. Lots of guys buyin em. They are good on fuel. Its only the 225s that I've heard are low on power. Haven't heard any complaints about the 300s. One logger pointed out that for a landing machine it was just fine having a lighter machine. Saves him money for a heavier machine to move wood to the landing with.

A big logger just bought a Hyundai. Said he liked that it had a Cummins and they appeared to be heavier built than even cat machines. He likes the doosans too. Mostly its just the pricepoint as they are uber cheap.

One polite thing to do is to ask if anybody has any outstanding warrants before photographing crews.:smile2:

Also, be sure to mention how much it rains there, and please take some pictures on miserable days so folks from elsewhere don't get the wrong idea about the weather.

Well I don't have close ups to where anybody's recognizable. Eddie what's his name that ran yarder for Rygaard was the yarder eng on the downhill side. This is not a Rygaard job for the record! No drama on this side though. lol Just good ole strait up logging. No pics today. Some office stuff and nothin good today. Jammed/bent the crap outta my right hand from a fall on a log deck... sausage fingers now. Grr

Oh yeah no twilight folks so far. Prob too Rainey. 3 yrs ago they were horrible. Like damn locusts!

Typically they'll go off the blade but I've seen Dahlgrens' go off the backs of their cats before. What size of cat were ya usin? Two isn't uncommon I've seen three at a time before. How's the summer a goin? Well late spring haha

We were using an eight to guy back a TMY45. Even when I worked on a LS98 we would ocassionally have the yarder pull the cat around, but that was using a 6. Man three cats is a lot of iron to just have sitting. Also is it pretty common for a dangle to clean the chute? We did it a couple times and I thought it was the cat's meow, but the boss didn't like it because the processor can't work at full production in that setting.

Finally feels like spring compared to summer. Gettng a little rain that is making the morels pop up. Pretty neat country there, but I want to see the steep stuff!

Well we have a lil piece waiting to be cut that's pretty steep. I've got pics when we were walkin boundary but kinda hard. I'll get some good shots though. Yea alot of old eights are used and they can be had cheap so its not too big of deal. Commonly processor clears chute because of space restrictions and you need the shovel to sort some and load with. Now sometimes if you get a bigger landing and you have a spot to deck the wood a shovel clears to the processor, it does it's thing and another shovel loads. But that extra shovel costs money and can be more productive out shovel loggin. Glad to hear! We got dumped on Thurs and been rainin since!

Madill 3800C and a 3850. The 3850 looks to be an ex Jerry DeBraie machine.

Dahlgren 172 side.

Dahlgrens are great folks, I went up there and rode around with Pete year before last and saw their Berger Marc2R side, their 124 side and their 172 side. Though I hear they sold the 124 and got another 172 since then? I want to go back up there this summer and see their Berger Marc 6's!
