It’s everything youhad in mind.

THE NEW 625C

When we set out to build the most innovative head on the market, we turned to the real

experts: you. Input from real-world loggers drove the creation of this high-performance

625C harvesting and processing head that delivers the ultimate in productivity, durability,

and serviceability. When it comes to feed performance it easily handles 35” wood and has

exceptional tree control and delimbing with twin bottom delimb arms. It’s complemented by

a continuous 360-degree rotation option making wasted motion a thing of the past. Other

features include a 3/4” main saw with auto tension, a 3/4” top saw, and smart maintenance

features that reduce downtime and improve serviceability. This head will help maximize your

productivity. So much like you, this Waratah is built to work.

We started by asking loggers what they want. Throughout development we checked to make sure we were on track to meet your requirements: A skidder that is maneuverable, stays on the ground and pulls the hills better. Hydraulics that speed up cycle times and lift more. A machine that runs cool and repels debris. Six-speed transmission, lock-up torque converter and independent front and rear differential locks for more control. HVAC that keeps you as cool or warm as you want in a quiet, comfortable cab with seat-mounted grapple joysticks and great visibility. And, of course, a tilting cab. The Cat® D Series Skidder—that’s what we built to meet your demand for more productivity and lower operating costs.

The D Series comes with 4-3-2-1 Equipment Protection Plan (48 mos/8,000 hrs hitch, 36 mos/6,000 hrs structures, 24 mos/4,000 hrs powertrain + hydraulics, 12 mos standard warranty) plus Product Link™ to track fuel, idle time, maintenance and more.

This Rigging Shack is fromJanuary 1977

i’m sitting here in my officeon a bad weather day thankingthe powers that i’m not out work-ing in the woods. For that i’mthankful on the bad days. Butmiss working in the woods on thegood days. No matter i’m too oldand fat to do it anyway.Planning & Setting

goalS

This is the time of year wehere at Loggers WorLdspend a lot of time for severalmonths planning, reviewing andsetting goals. We plan what wewant to do next year, which isnow this year, and how we are go-ing to do it. We review what weaccomplished last year and whatwe did right and where we needsome improvement. Based on ourperformance of last year we add15% and say we can do that muchmore. it is a time we all get bet-ter acquainted, like ourselves andeach other better and share thatfeeling of doing our work the waywe want to do it.

one of our goals for this com-ing year is to meet oftener and re-view our performance, plan com-ing issues and work and changethose things needing the chang-ing. simple, work closer togetherwith more understanding and getmore done and enjoy it more.

For the past several weeks

i’ve been feeling tired and sort ofdepressed. i just figured outwhat it was. (No it is not a hang-over. even for me they don’t last

that long.)What it is we have been talk-

ing, planning and scheduling a lotof work. involved in writing andputting these papers together ismyself, Myron Metcalf, Jeanhays, gail holding, and the pub-lishers representatives. Publish-ers reps are Bill and Vi lund. My-ron, Jean, gail and i are the oneswho will take care of the writingand photographing and bringingup the paper. Myron sells adver-tising in Log TrUCKer andmakes up the ads. Bill and Visell advertising in LoggersWorLd and TiMBer CUTTerand make up those ads. gail an-

swers thephone anddoes the book-keeping work.Jean doessome of thebookkeeping,purchas ing ,lay-up workand whateverneeds the do-ing.our normal Workload

with. Twelve issues of LoggersWorLd averaging about 80pages per issue. Twelve issues ofLog TrUCKer at 32 pages anissue. six issues of TiMBerCUTTer at 48 pages per time.add these together and we areputting out an average of 136pages a month or about 1632pages per year. TiMBer CUT-Ter comes out every othermonth. next Year

Now next year we want tocome out with two or three specialbooks that will be about 40 pageseach. Call it two and now we are

looking at about 1712 pages.on top of that i’m involved in

helping John h. Markham put to-gether a book of his life, activitiesand people he has known. This isa big project and i’ve got abouttwo more months of spare timework to put into that. our wholestaff will be involved in this pro-ject. Name of that book will be‘reMarKaBLe JohNMarKhaM’. subtitle will be“seventy Years in the NorthwestForests”.

TheN - talked to a book pub-lisher that said something like,“Why don’t you put out a full colorhigh quality book? if you do, wewill publish it for you?” Nowthose are the kind of words thatexcite me and that project is in

the planning stage. This book byitself will take almost six fullmonths of traveling, writing andpicture taking. and i want to doit, my lord how i want to do it.

That’s what i’ve been doing.sitting and planning a whole yearof work. Viewed that way it issuch a big task, almost an impos-sible task, that it makes one tiredto think of it and depressed tothink of how tired i’m going toget, at times, this coming year.

The trick is to look at what wemust do each week in order to ac-complish these goals and bringthese plans to a workable and re-warding end.

it means doing some newthings and discarding some of thethings we have done. it means

working smarter and maybe a lit-tle bit harder. But if we do thesmart thing, the right thing, eachweek we can get the whole jobdone.

on top of that will get somehelp, too.BookS

Books cost a hell of a lot ofmoney to put out. They, like allthings, cost more minute byminute. To keep the cost down towhere it is as low as we can makeit, we print these books on thenewspaper presses. high speedpresses. since the hard cover of abook oft-times costs more thanthe rest of the book, we do with-out a hard cover. Thus a bookthat would probably cost you sev-en or there about costs three dol-lars. We believe it is what thebook says that is important.

This has worked so well, thesebooks with pages sized like thisissue of Loggers WorLd, thatwe hope to do some more of themthis coming year. There aremany good poets, writers, andartists connected with the woodsthat we like to get them publishedand share these good works withyou.

of course we expect to keep adime or two in our pockets too.our batting average in publishingthese books is pretty good. Welost like crazy on one of them andthis almost sank the book boat.But the rest of them that didokay helped to pump out thebook boat and it is riding highright now.

This is going to be a good yearfor us. My fond hope is that it isgoing to be good for you too. Let’swork at it and see if we can makeit happen. deal?

Based out of Enumclaw,Wash. Bud Hanson and sonTyson Hanson run LHH Cut-ting and Logging. After Budbegan contracting cutting inthe mid 90s, Tyson and himexpanded the operation in2008 with a yarder and havesince grown to a crew of 10and a company log truck - a

2000 Peterbilt.

Enumclaw is a town of 10,000 in King County in Western Washington. Thetown was first settled in 1879 and in 1910 the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Pauland Pacific Railroad routed a branch line through Enumclaw. The main-stay of the town is dairy farming and the Enumclaw Expo Center hosts theKing County Fair, the Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games, Cre-ation Festival North-West (the largest Christian Music Festival in the US) andthe Olympic Kennel Club dog show.

hands-on boss and i don’t likesitting in the pickup.”

hanson was seven years-oldwhen he found himself in a log-ging camp in alaska with hisstepdad and uncle. he began log-ging when he was 17 years-oldand hasn’t stopped since. hansonspent 10 years rigging beforemoving into cutting. When he be-gan contracting out cutting jobshis six-man crew was cutting 33-

million board feet per year. “sometimes you do a lot for al-

most nothing to keep your guysbusy and that’s how it works be-cause you want to keep goodworkers around,” hanson said.

Tyson began cutting when hewas 18 and spent time as aforester as well.

Both Tyson and Budd enjoyedthe cutting aspect of the job, butwith the changing nature of thebusiness and the use of bunchers- being a cutter turned into moreof a day-to-day thing.

“We were day-waging,” Tyson

said. “You really couldn’t makeany sizable amount of money toadvance or grow and at thatpoint why don’t you just becomean employee of that company in-stead of contracting out to them.”

Tyson and Budd instead decid-ed to take matters into their ownhand and grew the logging partof their operation. in 2008, theypurchased an eco logger yarderand began logging on the eastside of the state near Usk, Washin Pend oreille County near theidaho border.

Yarder logging is something of

a rarity on the east side of Wash-ington so Lhh was in high de-mand. They did their work forVaagen Brother’s based out ofColville, Wash. in stevens Coun-ty roughly two hours north ofspokane. When they left thearea, Lhh was told that therewas over three years worth ofwork they could do in that area.

“i prefer being a cutter butthis offers us a little more controlover our work,” Tyson said. “We

know the job from both sides sothat gives us something a littledifferent from other operations.Your crew kind of becomes afamily and with our cutting crewit was a lot like that, not justsomeone you brought in.”

Lhh moved back to enum-claw and began working for han-cock Forest Management whichis working on lands owned by the

Muckleshoot indian Tribe. Tysonsaid that he likes the vision thatthe tribe has for their lands andthat it’s a long-term, sustainablemanagement plan.

enumclaw is a town of 10,000in southern King County outsideof seattle and has the excellentquality of being close to the jobsite.

“We’ve been lucky, we haven’tbeen traveling very far to go towork,” Budd said. “hancock hasalso been a good company to

work for.”The work in enumclaw offers

world-class views of the 14,411-foot Mt. rainier, and on somelandings, they can see all theway to Tacoma and seattle.

“Logging is one of thosethings where it’s hard work soyou have to love it to do it,”Tyson said. “That’s what keeps alot of guys in this industry. i likethat it keeps things fresh. Younever are just doing the samething. Whether it’s pulling rig-

ging or doing some cutting, it’salways a challenge. You canmake more money doing some-thing else but out here you reallyget a sense of pride and love.”

on the rigging crew arecousins Mike and Tyler Krusefrom enumclaw. slinger Mikehas been out in the woods fortwo years while setter Tyler hasbeen working for a handful ofmonths.

“i wanted to follow him outhere after all of his stories hetold me,” Tyler said.

While they’re the youngest ofthe crew, they’re the ones navi-gating the tough and rocky ter-rain that their job site present-ed to them. But ask them whatthe toughest part of the job isand they’ll tell you it’s the earlywake up call in the morning.

“our bosses are great, andthe camaraderie is one of thebest parts of the job,” Mike said.“They also gave us free bootswhich is a pretty cool deal.”

Lhh also runs one companytruck - a 2000 Peterbilt drivenby Mark heath of enumclaw.Now 55, Mark began drivingwhen he was 18 years old andlikes the independent nature oflog trucking. he’s a fourth gen-eration log trucker and consid-ers the freeway more dangerousthan being on the landing.

“Traffic is more dangerous,not a load goes by when youdon’t get pulled out in front of,”heath said.

heath has also hauled inMontana and idaho along withserving as a mechanic in Northdakota.

“i came back here where it’swarmer,” he said.

she comes from a loggingfamily so being part of Lhh isno strange experience.

it’s a crew that’s helpedBudd and Tyson tackle thechallenge of starting theirown logging company in atough business climate.

“it can be kind of over-whelming,” Tyson said.“There is a lot of risk andyou’re gambling on your backwhen you start a new compa-ny. With contracts, it can behard when you first start upbecause a lot of companies al-ready have their core group ofguys.”

But Lhh has shownthey’re here to stay andthey’re serious about the jobthey do. With their experi-enced crew its easy to see whythey were able to expand dur-ing the great recession andas things recover, look toLhh to continue to make thelog decks full.

“With logging there’s asense of love and pride,”Tyson said. “it’s not just a jobbut it’s an identity. it’s whowe are and i don’t think manyother professions get into aguy’s blood like this one does.”

LHH Cutting and Logging also oper-ates one truck, a 2000 Peterbiltdriven by Mark Heath of Enumclaw.Heath has been log trucking sincehe was 18 and contends its moredangerous dealing with I-5 trafficthan being up on the jobsite.

BLASTFROM THEPAST

BY QUINN

J. MURK

Redwood

LOGGING

The Union Lumber Co.of Fort Bragg, Califor-nia at one time was a

sizable operation. Likemost redwood logging in the1950’s and 60’s, it used “se-lective cutting” and tractorskidding.

special skidding cats were builtwithout blades, and fitted with frontbumpers to protect the front idlersfrom impact. This saved a lot oftrack tension problems on thesehard-working cats. some manufac-turers even offered special transmis-

sions for hard, low geared pulling.

dipper stick shovels were also fre-quently used in the big timber atthat time. Fitted with “air tongs,” thedouble line purchase gave increasedlifting capacity.

also, the crowd action on the dip-per stick itself offered precise place-ment of the log on the truck. Thismade loading faster and safer. Theseoff-highway trucks packed a heck ofa load back in the day of 150 hp en-gines.

This 1955 photo is from the collec-tion of Quinn J. Murk, siletz,oregon.

Before iron be-

came plentiful

in parts of

America, a lot of

items were made of

wood. This in-the-

woods water pipe

boring operation is a

classic example.A portable steam engine

in the center of the photo-

graph provides power for

the small sawmill and bor-

ing machine. To the left of

the engine are bored logs,

and to the left of them are

the hollow logs being

“coned.”

One end of the log would

have a male taper and the

other end a female socket.

When the pipe was put into

use, a tar pitch mixture was

usually applied to seal the

joints.

When water filled the

wood pipes everything

would swell, making things

relatively water-tight.

Even today, we sometimes

hear about wooden pipes

being dug up that were still

in use.

This old hand-tinted

photo from the Goldendale,

Washington area, is from

the collection of Quinn J.

Murk, Siletz, Oregon.

Hello Readers,I’d like to thank those of you who have

already contacted me with positive com-ments on the new “Blast from the Past”pictures segment we are running. At thistime I’ve had my copy of loggers World”for less than a week, so it was great re-ceiving your responses so quickly. A sec-ond batch of pictures is being worked upright now, and by the time those are sub-mitted we will have a year’s worth ready togo.

Also, I personally like hearing fromthose who have history to share. So, con-tact me if you choose to do so, and I willdo my best to get back with you in a timelymanner.

I hope that you enjoy looking at the oldphotos and reading the captions as muchas I enjoy pulling them together for “log-gers World.

Thank You,Quinn Murk

My unwelcomed need to peedraws me out of bed. sleepwalk-ing i remove my cozy socks andslip into damp flip flops. outsideloggers in stiff boots and greasypants huddle around a fire gulp-ing coffee while their dieseltrucks idle in the shadows. anempty log truck rattles by in thedark. Morning is here and it’sthe last day of the week to haullogs. i glance up to see the moonhanging in the west and starstwinkling high in the sky. Think-ing it’s going to be a sunny day, ipull up my pants and make myway back to the trailer and intobed to catch a few more z’s.

after hitting “snooze” threetimes Jon staggers out of bed. ashe struggles to dress in the darki hear him bonk his head, banghis elbow, and stumble down thethree stairs, making me wonderif a fox is running loose in ourtrailer. success! he made it out-side in one piece to start the gen-erator, which i can hear hum-ming in the background. Time toeat! a timber fallers breakfastconsists of: two fried eggs, fiveslices of Canadian bacon, twoslabs of cheese, two pieces oftoast, one banana, two glasses ofjuice, two mugs of coffee and oneand a half bear claws. Whilewaiting for his muscles to loosenup with the likes of warm foodand the propane heater on fullblast, he scans over a few pagesof his latest issue of loggeRS

WoRld Magazine. outside i can

hear steve, his cutting partner,start up the quad that will sooncarry them to their strips. Jonleans in to kiss me goodbye andlocks the door from the outsidewhere he puts on his caulks, hislast task before climbing onto thequad and puttering up the dustylogging road.

With the loggers gone and thecutters on their way silencesweeps through camp until islowly tune in to the birds andbreeze in the trees. Too cold tosleep alone on the air filled mat-tress, i reluctantly fold back theblankets and throw a sweatshirton before shuffling to the coffeepot to finish off the gritty re-mains. a timber fallers girl-friends breakfast: one cup ofluke warm coffee and one bearclaw, accompanied with two woolblankets and one book. after fin-ishing my nutritious breakfast, iput on another sweatshirt andhead outside into the cool morn-ing air in search of a sunny spotto warm my bones.

From where i sit i can hearJon working on the other side ofthe ridge. With his saw revvinghigh, i imagine him facing up atree. an echo from poundinghard on wedges reverberatesdown the draw until lastly i hearthe first signs of a tree makingits way to the ground. Creaking,cracking, pulling, thousands ofneedles and hundreds of branch-es shattering and a loud but softwhsssooommpph! No time wast-ed the sound of the running sawfills the canyon again. Behindme i see three log trucks rumbledown the road loaded with dou-glas fir headed to the Port ofoakland to be shipped to China.Two hummingbirds fly aroundthe alder tree beside me. soonafter the trucks are out of hear-ing range an empty one drives byreturning for another load.

Timber Fallers Jon Marrs and Steve Furrow. Jon is the timber faller mentioned in Heidi’s story.

a daY in CamPBy heidi Leib

Heidi leib, Forester

In Loggers World and Log Trucker we often hear the story of the logger, trucker, or business support personnel,but we rarely hear the voice of the other people in their lives. as we seek to include the full story of loggers and logging it makes sense togive a voice to the people closest to them - their loved ones, friends and the others who keep them going. These people are just as importantas the machinery used, the way the job is set up or the history of how the outfit got started. i suspect that on a daily basis, the people thatsupport the loggers and truckers are one of the most important factors of their success.

This is the first of what I hope will be many reader-submitted stories of logging life as viewed through the eyes of the non-logger.it is different than the articles we normally print, just as people are different and have different ways of seeing things based on what theirexperiences are. grab a cup of coffee, keep an open mind and see what logging looks like through someone else’s eyes.

Reader submitted stories are welcomed but subject to space available and publisher’s preference of editorial content.

Last month, comments closed on aproposal by the environmental Pro-tection agency (ePa) and U.s. armyCorps of engineers to redefine “wa-ters of the United states,” as setforth in the Clean Water act (CWa)of 1977. While senator edmundMuskie (d-Me), author of the 1977

law, required 88 pages for his entirestatute, this spring’s Federal regis-ter notice ran 370 pages, not count-ing appendices, one of which hit 300pages alone. Little wonder the new“wetland” rules have generated con-troversy and a likely supreme Courtcase.

over the years, the ePa and theCorps read “waters of the Unitedstates,” and hence their authority toregulate private property, bothbroadly and ambiguously. Unfortu-nately for landowners in theircrosshairs, their interpretation isreminiscent of Justice Potter stew-art’s views regarding hardcorepornography, “i know it when i seeit.” Worse yet, such a sighting is fol-lowed by a cease and desist order vi-olation of which results in fines oftens of thousands of dollars a day,and double that, if the violation is“willful.” Worst of all, landownerscould not challenge those orders be-cause they remained “unenforced”until violated.

For example, when the ePa de-clared arid lands owned by dr. Lar-ry squires of hobbs, New Mexico,“waters of the United states” be-

cause birds landed in ponds createdby sporadic heavy rains, dr. squireschallenged the order; but, his law-suit was dismissed as untimely. afederal appeals court ruled his in-ability to question whether his landswere “wetlands” without payinghundreds of millions of dollars infines or going to jail was not “consti-tutionally intolerable” given that itwould “undermine the ePa’s regula-tory authority.” Fortunately, in2012, the supreme Court unani-mously ended this abuse in a suit byPacific Legal Foundation.

Nonetheless, targeted landownersdid reach the supreme Court. in1985, deciding at which point “waterends and land begins,” the Court up-held a definition that included wet-lands that “actually abut[] on” tradi-tional navigable waters. in 2001,the Court held that “non-navigable,isolated, intrastate waters,” eventhose used by migratory birds (re-member dr. squires) were not with-in the CWa. in 2006, ruling onwhether the CWa included in-trastate wetlands adjacent to non-navigable tributaries of navigablewaters, the Court vacated the Corps’rules. on behalf of a four judge plu-rality, Justice scalia required “con-tinuous surface connection to bodiesthat are ‘waters of the Unitedstates’ in their own right,” but Jus-tice Kennedy, while concurring instriking down the rules, demanded“a ‘significant nexus’ to waters thatare or were navigable in fact or thatcould reasonably be so made.”

in 2007, the ePa and the Corps re-sponded to the Court’s rulings andin late 2008, after the receipt of66,000 comments, issued new guid-ance on identifying “waters of theUnited states.” Then, in 2011, thetwo agencies proposed new guidancethat expanded significantly thereach of the CWa, including oververnal pools, prairie potholes, natu-ral ponds, and playa lakes. in re-sponse to 230,000 comments, manyof which demanded a formal rule-making, the agencies issued thatproposal in april 2014.

Living up to its reputation for creat-ing, as liberal law professorJonathan Turley put it, “a constitu-tional tipping-point,” the obama ad-ministration’s new rules constitute ahistoric land grab. Contrary to Jus-tice Kennedy’s instruction, the rules:extend to all waters (not just wet-lands) and all waters adjacent tonon-navigable interstate waters; cre-ate a new jurisdictional concept“similarly situated waters” by mis-quoting the Justice; and ignore hisdemand that an agency “establishnexus on a case-by-case basis whenit seeks to regulate wetlands basedon adjacency to non-navigable tribu-taries.” Worse yet, in violation ofthe Commerce Clause, they assertauthority over waters that are nei-ther instrumentalities nor channelsof interstate commerce and that donot substantially affect interstatecommerce.

over its last six years, the supremeCourt has ruled unanimouslyagainst the obama administration’sposition on 20 different occasions.These new wetland rules may make21!

Logging equipment can come in alldifferent sizes, shapes, colors andages. equipment can be old, new,dirty or clean. Machines can cutdown trees, skid them, process themand put them on a truck, but onething they all have in common isthat they need a skilled operator tomake them productive. daily costs may vary across thecountry depending on what kind oflogging is taking place but produc-tion is what drives cost, and every-one must be concerned with cost ofproduction. Cost can be measuredper ton or thousand board feet, butin either case production is the mostimportant factor and it can betracked right back to the qualityand experience of employees operat-ing the equipment.Logging has shifted towards mecha-nization across the country and em-ploying and retaining experiencedequipment operators is a necessity,however they are also a necessity tothe construction, oil and gas, andany other industry whose businessrequires the use of heavy equip-ment. anyone who has operated equip-ment knows what level of coordina-

tion and concentration is required torun an excavator or a bulldozer, butwhat about a processor that falls,limbs and bucks a tree to very tighttolerances. Tolerances that if notmet may result in penalties, andloss of revenue. are the people thatare operating these highly sophisti-cated and expensive machines com-pensated more than someone thatoperates an excavator on a highwayproject? a little research on the Bureau ofLabor statistics paints a prettyclear picture of where we have been.The data is a little sketchy prior to1999 so let’s use that as a startingpoint for comparison. in 1999 themean annual income for a loggingequipment operator was $25,390.Fast forward to 2013 and the meanannual income for the same opera-tor was $34,700. The Bureau of La-bor statistics also had an inflationcalculator and when the 1999 wageof $25,390 was plugged in out camea 2013 wage of $35,502, showingthat we have not even kept up withinflation. We are paying operatorsless today then we were in 1999 andthe equipment is much more com-plex to operate.

For comparison a constructionequipment operator in the same ta-bles was making $34,760 in 1999and $48,605 in 2013. good, hard-working productive employees aregoing to go where they are best com-pensated for their work; this is whywe constantly hear about loggingcompanies trying to train newequipment operators in house. Con-versations are abundant about therising cost of fuel, insurance, andequipment but what we should betalking about is how we can pay ouremployees more so that they willstay in the forest products industry.hard working men and women havea distinct trait that cannot betaught, and if not appreciated andcompensated for those traits, theyoften go somewhere else. in a fantasy world we could simplyprint money as is the case with ourFederal government. The change insiC code 901 for federal employee’sshows the median annual income in1999 was $43,600 and in 2013 itrose to $71,700. inflation duringthe period would put their 1999wage at $60,950 in 2013. Next timea federal employee tells you howhard they are working you can re-mind them that they are gettingwell compensated for that work.Loggers are being asked to increaseproduction as our economy slowlyimproves. as the number of inexpe-rienced people entering the workforce grows; so will our exposure to

accidents and possibly poor publicperception of the industry. Produc-tivity losses resulting in higher pro-duction costs may also be experi-enced unless we train and retaingood employees. our industry willbe much better served by keepingthe experienced employees we cur-rently have and augmenting themwith new, trained, professional andreliable employees. how this indus-try deals with their employees will,for good or bad, reflect on each of us.if we do not work together to attractand retain employees with pay ratesthat are comparable to similartrades, we will continue to lose goodpeople to higher paying industries.
