There she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun, There to greet a working man when his day has begun I'm gonna pack my lunch and I'm gonna pack my saw, I'm gonna take them down to the timber jack ranch. Esco grapple, bear claws and Dirt; pulls like a little bit of heaven here on earth. When I die, buddy, throw my body in the cab, Take me to the woods in my timber jack. timber jack, timber jack, Long and dark, rusted and scrached Open up your engines let `em roar Tearing down the forest like a big old dinosaur! James dean in a timbco 99 Junior johnson runnin' in the woods of caroline Even burt reynolds in a black peterbuilt Are gonna meet me down at the timberjack ranch timber jack, timber jack Long and dark, rusted and scrached, Open up your engines, let 'em roar Tearin' down the forest like a big old dinosaur Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight wheelin' all alone in a cool alberta night You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance let me take ya down to the timber jack ranch timber jack, timber jack... Long and dark, rusted and scrached; Open up them engines, let 'em roar; Tearin' down the forest like a big old dinosaur

a step back in time a step back in time here. we go back to 2002 when my dad buried the cat when he was smoothing pipeline. we have the late Barry strandquest with his john deere winching us out and if you look on the bumper of the truck in the close up picture of the cat you can see me as a young lad. the buncher was in 2003 when the lost creek fire was on.

Pacific p10s and p12s in the crows nest pass about five minutes from Crows nest lake. They were hauling off of the elkveiw mine until 4-5 days ago . They were owned by Fred sowchuk originally whom one of our friends drove for back in the day and my dad and grandpa ran there autocar hauling coal with him. He sold out years ago so and the company that bought em went bankrupt so hear they sit Waiting for auction

Hey Caterpillar941B. It looks like you have a swinger bucket on that 320. If it is, do you think its worth the money? Is it standing up to road building and hard ground? Im thinking of getting one for my 325 but my 54" digging bucket keeps getting the job done. Any opinions? Dave
it is a swinger bucket. it is definately worth the money for us anyways it makes ditching and road building as well as reclimation ten times quicker. is holding up just fine in the hard ground as well.
plowing snow plowing the logging road off. drifts were as big as the cat when i started
roadbuilding summer 2013 builing logging road into our cutblocks full of old growth spruce and pine
One of our winter jobs a few seasons back: http://s372.photobucket.com/user/moparmike72/library/St Louis Gulch The elk weren't bothered at all by the noise, dinnertime started when we left for the day.
looks like nice country!
Nice videos and pictures. It looks like you have done a great job.
