Nice video, thats a busy operation, how often do you guys have to change the flail chains in the chipper?

[timbco475]

@mooseheadme It all depends on how much mud is on the wood , one flail roller every 15 - 20 days or so . there are three flails in our chipper so we never have to change them all at once

@timbco475 i was just wandering yall ever had trouble with yallls 630b grapple we tightened the snubber but it still wants to hit the boom same style az yalls

[timbco475]

@jacobcarter34 Yes we do at times when the friction cone on the inside shaft the snubber block bolts to wears out. you need to get the new part . than knock the old one off the tapered shaft with a hammer, sometimes you need to heat it a bit as well . then clean the shaft up with starting fluid to get any grease and dirt off the shaft , then re glue yes glue well epoxy the new friction cone to the inner shaft then replace the snubber block and bolt and tighten . good as new

Do you guys chip just hardwood or do you chip softwood too.

[timbco475]

yes mainly , we have chipped some soft wood in the past though . but normally if we cant get logs out of the soft wood we just grind it

From a West Coast logger to a East Coast logger, "Outstanding video's". My only minor grip is you need to have The Refreshments from Sweden for your background music.(;>)! Micke Muster, also from Sweden, would do in a pinch!

We chip Tan Oak, Doug Fir, Alder and Hemlock mainly here in Southwestern Oregon.

You guys take care. Hope things are turning around for the timber industry back there. It has a little here but not nearly enough.

Awesome video!. I just graduated from Paul Smith's College. I saw your trucks go by all the time. I think you cut on College lands too right? Check out my vids for some of our timber harvesting class.
