At least nothing is on fire! Looks like alot of flat root balls?

I was gonna ask whether you thought they were this years drops or last. It seemed about a month early for this year. Plus they are a bit chewed up. Porcupine? They must have been protected from the sun because they still have good color. Nice find!

I think just squirrel no porcupine sign, definitely out of the sun on the north facing slope in a stand of timber that is thick as dog and big wood

648 Deere?

Yes sir

 

[Johnmn]

Yes sir

There is a very large crew oh 2 hours north of me. They run 2 648's that feed an 848, they move a lot of wood in a hurry and are pretty fun to watch.

Their good machines, I’ve been pretty impressed with it.

I agree I have spent some hours behind the wheel of one. Much larger than my 440 but for a 1 man operation my 440 is all I need.

648 Deere?

Back when I was a common logger, I ran a 640D which from what I was told by Deere that the 640d was a 640 front with 648 tail frame and heaver rear axle. It was converted from a line machine to a young swinging grapple, 120 inch I believe. That was one tough machine, just not comfy having the open cab. The bullbuck also owned a 648g with esco swinger that he ran. Nice machine also, had AC and all. But it did seem to break down more, it had alot of electrical issues, like wiring problems with the electro over hydraulic solenoid valves.

That’s rain it’s not uncommon when the rain comes in up here to see it with the fog/mist.
