John Deere 853G Feller Buncher

[apenterprisesattheto]

ok thanks wondered if they were worth fooling with

[apenterprisesattheto]

do you remember why the aspire heaters are unhooked

[insanelogger]

@apenterprisesattheto No I don't it has been so long now since I worked on it.

[apenterprisesattheto]

it is a beast we cut alot of good size hardwood and it will cut a 22" oak full boom and has no trouble with it we were a little scared as to why nobody had bought it but took a chance and beside some welding on the head and a little tlc the thing starts and runs almost every day with no down time

[insanelogger]

@apenterprisesattheto Glad to hear you like it. I miss working on that old beast!

[lambofnobis]

is that my dad? Which would be rob small...

[insanelogger]

@lambofnobis No it's the other guy he had there for a bit helping out.

i run a 903g...biggest peice of shit on the planet.

tigercats rock.

[mainelogger753G]

wayne peters has an 853 hes in maine also.. was that the other outfit you were talking about? i think he just got a 903 now.

[mainelogger753G]

That things a beast!! makes my 753 look like a tonka! i love how everyone always tells you how to cut wood and sends negative comments on what THEY think you are doing wrong and have no videos uploaded of themselves the EXPERTS uploaded. they should keep there negative comments to themselves if they dont have any videos of themselves... BTW nice video!

[mando1321]

tsk tsk sloppy bundles too much walking and turn some teeth so you can cut with it not ram it

[mahalaha]

Why do you keep going back and forth, you will have the undercarriage worn out by the time get to the end of the strip and its nonproductive.

gotta love that reverse fan. I run a 903j and i sure like it.

[insanelogger]

Moosehead you asking about where we got the buncher?

[mooseheadme]

where did your company buy this nortrax or frank martin & sons

[insanelogger]

Umm it burns about a tank a day and i can't tell you how much fuel it holds.

[apenterprisesattheto]

@insanelogger i now own this machine and it holds 300 gallons and has been using about 120 every ten hours

[insanelogger]

@apenterprisesattheto Ya that sounds about right. So how do you like the old beast?

[minnesotalogger247]

Gota nag and ask another question. Happen to know how much fuel it burns in a long day?

[insanelogger]

Curtis you hit it right on the head of the nail. As for dozer that skidder id further than it looks. Plus we have had no problems workin that close. and for minnesota no reoccuring problems just the occasional hydro. hose. But I can't tell you how the timberjack would work out all i know is that is a good machine and it can handle alot of wood in a day.

[minnesotalogger247]

Any reoccuring problems or anything known for being a problem with these machines? Looking at a Timberjack 850 (same as the Deere 853G) and just wanna known if there is any weak points to watch for.

[curtis4806]

[dozerdriver1962]

your bunchin with that skidder that close??? kinda dangerouse ,,aint it ,plus osha no-no nice vid btw")

[mahalaha]

I think the camera guy is closer lol

[insanelogger]

She's a big one. There's only two in this part of the state. The other one is owned by another outfit. They are the biggest ones up here.

[lemmig]

[thetreecutter1]

ha id say worn out wonder y skidder is so close to much tracking and turning y not put trail trew the wood especially in a clear cut...... skidder is far enough away.i alot of times work the same trail traveling by the feller buncher to get a twitch
