It's a truck mount.

That makes a huge difference a truck mount loader has much easier life then say our shovels out here especially since we shovel log with them.

Edit...I can't speak for everyone but as far as I'm concerned you're not "trespassing".

Everyone here has been welcoming and I am very grateful. Characterizing myself as a trespasser is my way of acknowledging that I have little to add and appreciate that you haven't run me off. Ron

This is true. It's still remarkable how well these guys treat their equipment. They have both just finished their 56th year as full time self-employed loggers.

Do you guys go year round or do you guys have off time?

When the snow gets over 4 feet deep most guys stop for the season (usually around February depending on the location). The woods usually is dry enough to get back at it in June.

Another difference we don't get the long breaks for maintenance anymore it's year round work, I've been up to your area it's beautiful I lived in Laramie Wyoming for a year.

It is beautiful, but it is expensive. Lots of the Rich and Clueless have discovered it.

I'd love to get to your neck of the woods to do some chainsaw work. To see if I can run with those dogs or not.

I went to school in very northern coastal California so I am familiar with PNW territory. CA wasn't for me, but that part of the state was beautiful too.

I'm only a two hour's drive from Laramie.

You spent your Saturday, loading 2 200 sized excavator buckets you can't use on a rental trailer with an electric winch and a highlift jack, because your machines are an hour away and the auction is in 2 weeks.

though that smitty built winch is kickin butt and taken names

You might be a logger if... You are in your driveway shoveling snow and you can hear a yarder crew whistling logs up the hill across the Hiway from you. You listen to the whistles and you know just what's going on. That happened to me last week. I was ready to drop that freakin shovel and grab my caulks.

At first I read that as 2 200 excavators. I was about to say holy hell, what brand winch!
