Timberjack gets new exhaust & how to operate

The Ol Timberjack had to get a new exhaust, the old one just started to plug up and cause all kinds of problems. She sounds better than ever now! The pulp market in Maine is really struggling and that means a lot more planning and sorting wood to get the most value out of what we have to work with. I also take a minute and go over the controls and how to operate one of these 200 series Timberjack skidders for the viewers who have never been on one of these. Thanks for watching and dont forget to leave a comment and SUBSCRIBE!

A day without 2 stroke smoke and a screechin' Detroit is a day wasted. I miss it.

Great video, brings me back a few years with my Pop who had quite a few Timberjack skidders which I later ran for him. We lost him a month ago and I thank you for bringing the memories back to me. Stay safe my friend.

I was a skider operator for a few years when I was young. A lot of time on the 225, and the 230, spent most of the time on the 550, they were New then, and THE hot ticket. Make no mistake however the 225 is the machine that put timberjack in front, very nimble and strong, it could really "get the wood out"! Bluffs and hills were normal. The company I worked for logged everything from export to chip timber. Depending on which crew you were assigned to, every one loved the 225,
If you turn to tightly with a big skid any machine can turn on its side! Once at a 90 degree turn I dropped the skid to make the turn, before I started down the bluff, however the winch didn't release. I was turning and jacking the winch, trying to release it. The machine turned over as the winch released! AND free spooled.puking cable like a junk fishing reel the skider rolled slowly at first, but it gained a lot more vigor as it rolled over and over. It stopped rolling at the bottom with it's tires in the air! The battery box lid popped up, and covered me with acid, mostly my pants, my cutter showed up hysterical and insisted I was Dead! I realized I was soaked in acid, and moved swiftly to the stream! (My pants, and most of my shirt didn't make it)! Every one insisted I must be hurt, or in shock. I was fine. They pulled the skider out, and happily told me the cable was wrapped around the machine 7 times! If the machine had broken up, it would have been bad for me. But it didn't!!! The machine was soon back in service. And the damn winch fixed!!!

I can’t get over how nice that machine is. I’ve never seen a TJ that nice and strait. Not sure why but they always seem beat to a pulp, maybe cause they’re on the cheaper end to purchase they get in the wrong hands. That machine is crisp!
