The forestry and logging pictures thread

That's what my brother did - he was cutting for Wally Plikat but now he's on a buncher, I think either for Van Norman or Schuyler.

Small world. I’m from the same valley as Plikat.
Seems to work well for a lot of people. Cutting, then switching to equipment. I’m surprised by the number of 60+ year-old cutters we work around, however.

The guy I broke in with at H&W was 61 at the time, he was still getting it but his knees were shot. That was about 2001-ish. He bought a ranch at Rogue River and is pushing cows around now.

8 8s 13 to 16 6. 22 to 24 6. The 562 is just for kicks. Been slinging a ported 660 most of the time. I was trimming after the buncher and snuck off and cut a few.

Bottom half of the unit above. The top piece was logged up to gravel in the winter, and the bottom to dirt.

Yes, and we have the option to do both. Hourly seems to work better a lot of times it seems here, in my opinion.
