Not so much. Somewhere I have pictures of a side in Idaho where the rigging crew had to fly a D-6 across a river because it was inaccessible by truck.

I think Wayne Stone's crew flew a Cat across a small canyon as well.

This is a great thread, isnt it funny how logging was almost the most essential part in building North America, but you never see any of theese old timey photos from the north east cutting hard woods. Weird to me because way back when they cleared Pennsylvania it was 75 percent soft wood pine cedar larch hemlock etc. The woods are now a deciduous forest almost entirely across the state.

A crew up here flew a D8 across a river as well back in the late 80’s.

How does that work for replanting purposes? Are you required to replant what was cut or what naturally was there before?

We dont have to re plant a thing. Now what rageneration you get depends on style of cut and what species is there to begin with.

That’d be odd to do with our restrictions you’re only allowed to do 120 acre clear cuts and required to replant to 200 teees an acre in x amount of years. Some of the stands we thin will be north of 600 trees to an acre with all the dog hair or natural seeding from Hemlock or Doug fir.

We dont typically do clear cuts that large. In face a 100 acre clear cut is almost unheard of. To big for around here. We do select cuts mostly. Our forester marks the trees to cut and scales them. Then we move in. We have 2 woods crews, the production crew that has the feller buncher grapple skidder dozer and trailer mount tigercat log loader. Then there's the other crew that consists of my cousin and myself, we use a grapple skidder and have a trailer mount tigercat loader and saw buck as well. My jobs are generally 10,000 mbf to 115000 mbf. The production crew gets the big jobs. Were cutting for a saw mill not just cutting and selling logs.

Yeah I would hope so he must have a tale or two about these f86’s and f88’s
when these come out in the early 70’s it was the talk around town


I forgot too say this truck is still on the road and earning money I’ve seen
Him a few times around here he doesn’t need a tacho or a limiter or pay any road tax
