Skidder flipped and transformer destroyed! Dangerous logger destroying people’s property! Why ???

I ruined my body logging for 35 yrs. Now in my 60s it's a young mans game. (I miss it alot) I have seen some real serious stuff in the woods. It's not the place to learn from the school of hard knocks although most of us did and still do. Looked like to me that fella had that tree winched up tight and when he pulled away it pulled the skidder over. Glad everything turned out ok. I have run and owned alot of saws. Stihls and Reds and Huskys.Everyone has a preference of which ever works for them and trust me folks you can get a bad one with a glitch no matter who makes it. Don't mean it's the brand. We would say hmmm must have been made on a monday. You did a great job retrieving your skidder and I wish you the best in the future. Be safe. Thank you for the vid.

Sorry to see such disregard for your equipment as well as the landowners property. I am glad the damage to your equipment was minimal!

Unbelievable that someone was able to tip that over on flat ground, that’s some serious negligence. Good thing those old timberjacks are invincible.

My (2) 592 I have are 3-4 pulls to start and they both run great. I do have (4) 372 that I bought all together, (3) of them are identical in the way they perform and 3-4 pulls to start. The other one I have which I call number four takes upto a dozen pulls to get it going, but it’s performance is superior to the other three I have. Go figure 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great channel, keep putting those videos coming out 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I run a 592 as well. I haven’t had any issues starting it in the cold, except when I was running my buddies gas. He uses Stihl ultra oil and my saws ran horribly on that stuff. Even worse, it auto tuned itself for that garbage so when I switched back to my VP oil it took half a tank before auto tuning back. (Only problem I’ve had with my 592 is one of the bar posts fell into the oil tank - I don’t think it was properly seated at the company. ) You know, it’s one thing to roll a guys machine over. It’s another thing to not tell him about it. What a ridiculous experience. Sorry that happened to you.

I've had clowns here in Missouri do that kind of thing too . This country is a disaster . I'm trying to stay ahead of cutting red oaks before they are just junk firewood and can't get any help . I'm only 56 but where it's going aint good .

Glad the recovery went well !!! Shame that people don’t take of other’s equipment……everyone (NOT everyone) these days has a use it and toss it attitude. You know what I mean……folk’s want things given to them……sad for sure! Well as I said, glad it was ok after dipping it back over…..hopefully the neighboring person was understanding and thing all went ok. 👍🇺🇸 Rick

Ive had 2 592s and both of started well i did have the purge line kinking issue on one of them it may just need an auto tune reset there beast of saws but i think there are a few kinks to work out with them still

Wow. What a shame to see the fruits of your labor disrespected in such a way. I’m so sorry. I appreciate the video though, such insight into the trials and tribulations of the American business owner. Good job and I’m glad your machine came out ok.

There;s lots of good thoughtful workers out there, they all have jobs though... anyone not working right now isn't worth hiring, or isn't looking.

I`m glad that there`s not any serius damage to the skidder. It`s almost unbelievable to tip that machine over on a flat ground...I think that happened because the operater tried to pull the log at the bad angle...Anyway - i have a friend, he owns a small logging company, he owns a LKT skidder, he has to deal with that kind of stuff all the time : last year the guy that worked for him tipped the skidder over in the forest while the other guy was filming him for facebook - he was dragging too heavy load with the skidder`s front end up in the air, making the spectacle...it flipped over, did some heavy damage to the haul and the engine, the guy broke his shoulder...total negligence...it`s hard to find good help these days - no one wants to work any more, everyone wants to be famous on the internet...🤣 You have some good-quality logs there if i may notice.

Unfortunately, Husqvarna is the hardest starting chainsaw in the industry. I had a 562 xp, T540xp and 3120xp they were all extremely cold blooded from a cold start. So instead of using Husky, I switched over everything to using Stihl. I find using Stihl as a brand is a lot easier to use and start. Echo just has no top end power for pulling through big rounds or timber.

Glad the skidded wasn’t damaged.

Crack the gas cap. Mine kind of vapor locks. As soon as I open the fuel cap and retighten it, it fires right up. Also if I shut the saw down for maybe half an hour, it does the same thing. Maybe the tank doesn’t vent well. Give it a try.

The why is an attitude, and it ain't 'dare to care'. Enjoying the channel, this is informative.

Try splashing a little fuel on the air filter first thing in the morning. Or when you saw is cold. Should make a world of difference

Oh my what a mess. I am sorry to say that this could happen to anyone . Seems without common sense is the new norm. Damn that makes me mad to see such disrespect for anyone’s property.

I am in Australia and have a 592XP. I’ve been running it for the past 16 months. I have the same issue. What I have found helps, prime it, pull several times, pump the primer a few more times and it’ll start 1st or second pull.

VERY few good helpers nowadays.

That's a nice log job a lot of us would like to have..not sure why they would ruin it for themselves
