O **** yeah, I am out too.

Things that I used to find exciting before just wouldn't cut it anymore after driving a log truck. Like gun fights, fighting tigers or sledding.

I cant take credit for it, not me, you never take pictures of your own crash

good story behind it though. A young driver, had his girlfriend with him, went up hill, spun out, had no chains on, it started sliding backwards, he got scared, hollered at her to jump, she didnt, he did, its slide till the trailer went over the bank and held it up in that position. They are no longer a couple. If you look close you will see its a tridrive, thats how close it came to going completly over.

 

[Stompin Tom]

didnt work I guess

 

[Stompin Tom]

our hills arnt quite as bad around here. got a sideways one, no idea how to fix that.

Yep looks pretty standered for around here to. Tridum wagons is what we run. Short log quads are starting, nothing like getting shoved down the hill hey stomping Tom, the tail now is wagging the dog lol.
If the trucking part seems silly we are now tethering our bunchers and pushing them off 60-70% slopes. Life of a logger.
hey is that the 875or 880 tigercat. Just got back from there factory tour, great stuff right there.

These three didn't work.

This guy was kind enough to get all the way off the road so he didnt block traffic.

Just post it sideways, some one will flip it.

875 Tigercat, operator loves it, they just got a prototype machine, operator helped design it, no numbers yet, but really nice, shorter body, heavier counterweight and longer boom so he can reach in the tight spots.

 

[Stompin Tom]

I killed two of them, does it work now?

 

[skegpro]

Nope
The pictures are awesome though, thanks for sharing.
