D 4 High Track Dozer Rollover and Recovery

They made it look so easy I wounder how many times they have had to do it. And yes logging WILL never die

Good to see the old timers out there showing how it's done 👍🏿

It’s taken me years to find this video again

The high track D4 skidders I was around always seem to be operated by kids told to Go Go Go, so yes, things happen in the woods!! High centered on a stump or buried four feet into a bog, never had a rollover😂

That is what I call real men at work.. Loggers rule. Thanks to loggers for keeping our forest strong and clean of over growth and rot.

And that is why you always stand clear of the rigging lol! Good job!

Love it, and love watching a team of pros

WOW, what a mighty little machine. Great recovery !

I love it when a plan comes together. Nice job.

Good job like'55555+

Nice work you do.

Nice job guys!

My coworker Carlos brought me here...hes one of the guys helping to flip it back over!

That was a cool recovery.

kickass job they knew exactly what to do. thats experience.

Good video! They were surely working hauling that cable, but those guys look like they haul a lot of cable everyday. Nothing new to a logger! Most of the crews I work around would have tied the Deere Skidder on and winched it with that, but every situation is different. Thanks for the video!

I bet the boss was pissed!

Good work!

I sure do miss operating heavy equipment and the outdoors.

tottaly agree son health and safety a must in this line of work

It's unreal, you see all the old timers come up with a plan in 5 minutes that worked, yet the younger generation wouldn't have a clue, I didn't see any young blokes there. It's very sad to see were running out of old timers like these blokes that have done so much, over so many years. And yes things happen sometimes but they sorted it out pretty quick. The new generation does sweet F.A in comparason generally.

Great job boyz!!

Outstanding, didn't even drop the log it was hauling! Suprised it did not drain out all the oil?

Been there man! We had a road cave in on us like that.....

That was good!

bravi complimenti....

Good time to check them belly pan bolts 👍

just another day at work .shits got to get done

nothing like experience to make a job go smooth even when the cable broke they just did what they had to do

I never saw a track type skidder before. Placerville isn't that far from me either. About an hour and a half away.

Muito lindo meu amigo 👍👍✌🇧🇷🇧🇷

You crazy old codgers!! Thats a job for real men, they dont make em like you any more!!

How long u let 1 set up right b4 firing it back up? Hour or more depending on temp I'm guessing. Nice job getting it righted

8 years later and it's still a tracked skidder.

Think. I. Would have let it sit overnight before starting and let the oil settle before starting. Good way to bend a rod

just looking at it, got sideways in the turn (turn is hauling in logs behind a cat or skidder) on soft soil and over she goes.. the mentality of Loggers, do what needs to be done, to get back to work.. PS.. never get your tail hold to high on the stump..

Very good apart from the guy in the light blue shirt handling the steel cable without any gloves on

เป้าหมายนักการเมือง​

these guy's are like " just a normal days work, that thing falls over all the time"

Can someone please tell me what the music is called in this video? I found out about this video through my father, he loves these machines :)

love old buggers

And the machine operator is well or died in the accident? I wish that he is well.

Back to work? It looks to me like those guys were working pretty damned hard. Dragging chains and cables up that steep hillside - sure looks like work to me.

Good job ! except for the engine starting. : / oil in the cylinders can fuck up the the engine.

From my understanding, he was grabbing the log with the grapplers and he hit some very soft dirt and then it just rolled over slowly, at least thats what the operator said, Mind you he rolled it over 3 Days earlier Also, thats why I was there My friend Daryl asked me to Video it because I told him you should of called me when he recovered it the First time LOL.

You get that dirty daily there... look at all the mud.

you are right, I never handle a Cable with bare Hands !!!!!!

@muner007 Just two, first time with the chain it broke, so the second time they used a choke cable

that tree is most likely going to be cut down and turned into lumber, so they aren't worried about saving the bark on it..

It's not a D4 high track dozer, it's either 517 or 527 track skidder made by CAT.

Oh fun!

Back to work? What were they playing ping pong maybe? Good video.

Obviously they done this Before good job

no chains on your skidders on the west coast?

What happened to the driver of the D4. I am sure he or she is just fine. I know at the company I work at shit like this can just happen and they are good about it if there is no major damage or delays. Did they keep there job?

no tension on the cable so that wasnt too dangerous. but ur on the right track too many idiots get themselves hurt and cause stupid rules to be enforced!

wow hope they checked the oil!!!!

Aí sim

2:18 safety first OMG

What no time for a quick coffie ? :)

Why did they park it like that?

BRAWO .

lo mejores vivir sano i ser felis en las buenas o malas

just a littl bit of oil to burn off

I wanted to see the dozer roll over. The title says: "Hi Track Dozer Rollover", but all we see is the recovery.

but it will never make lumber. you cant build a house out of pot paper. the trees in this video are for the wood product, not paper. so i dont know what brought that up.

They need to get them a couple of young guys hired on. Too old to be doing all that mess.

I love it... when u think ur good.... and u get court out .... woops i did it a gean😢...it takes years to get good .... but some never do...😕 ...i rolled a few times ...😊 ... not with the wife in bed....😉 on my side with horses and tractors and things 😅... helo from ireland 😆.

whats better about a high track you ask? well I know they ride way better because your centered between both ends instead at the rear..less up and down and probably have higher ground clearance underneath also

🚜😎

Acid Pro on the music I suppose?

Eu sou operador mais só digo uma coisa só acontece isso com quem trabalha cege bom ou ruim operador acontece até com os melhores

Hi, its nice rescue work and i need mind for soundtrack thanks. Good luck guys..

I thought you had to allow a machine to sit for awhile after a roll over.

Tongue in cheek dude. Probably lucky all you lost was 2 fingers. My old man ripped himself open with a chain saw not doing the right thing. Hundreds of stitches.

name that song

SSSssshhh, it's sleeping.

The song is Rural Folk, you can get it at Jewel Beat.com for .99 cents !!!!!!

Yeah, back to work guys .

middle age men to the rescue

That's embarrassing, a John Deere rescuing a Cat. :-)

I'm starting to miss Placerville. And logging.

I used to be a clever twat as well. but i lost 2 fingers on a steel cable that it went through one and out the other and pulled them onto the winch drum a hard lesson. A glove would have been ripped off, instead it was my fingers. but if you want to be a MAN then carry on, dont loose your fingers

what is this music?

not if it's dry.. no need for them (and looking at the logo on the white truck in the beginning, that's Placerville which is about 40 miles east of Sacramento CA) in the summer time.. in Oregon (where I'm from) oh HELL yes we use chains on the skidders, your not going to get enough traction in the mud othewise.

they shoulden,t of started the cat till they got it on level ground and let the oil settle back in the pan

You are working with cable, I only saw one person with glove!

MUSIC ???

weed and hemp are to different (still the same plant but almost no thc) to get high of hemp you would need a j the size of a tele pole. and you can use hemp to build a house its called hempcrete. yes you still need some wood but not as much.

steta sto se prevrnio.opasno je raditi u sumi svasta se desava

Should of let the oil run back down the engine for a few minutes.. Tad bit smoky.

มีแต่การทำงาน

Good way of ruining an engine starting it that quick. I put my grapple skidder almost over and just far enough the feller/buncher had to come save me but not all the way over. And we still let it sit for a 5-10 minutes before running it. Started it just long enough to drop the drag I was holding when it was righted

I like Toyota’s

i dont think i would have hooked it to the cage and pulled it back over likeley to bend somthing

Cool video... not a D4 though.

ไปติดในป่าทำไง

huh still had his log,get that sucker to the landing,shouldnt start those up for awhile though let all the oils get back down in the pan

เขาดาดฟ้า​เริ่มได้เมื่อใด

Very risky not making sure cylinders did not have oil in them.
