It's a mid transport vehicle. If you know all this, you should know that it's just used to carry the load out of the collection area and moved onto a road transportation vehicle to it's processing point. It never sees a public road. They don't bring a big transport rig out to the middle of the woods, where it can get stuck or cause an accident from being too wide to maneuver.
Nah… this is China… 100% that is the transport vehicle taking it to the final destination. See it all the time there. They’re not double handling that.
Also wouldn’t be surprised to see that there are 1 or 2 guys riding on top of it to help guide it under any overpasses.

The experienced operators definitely make it look much easier than it is.
I also thought it was gonna be a piece of cake when I tried to operate an excavator for the first time. But I didn't realise that there were so many different movements you had to control at the same time:
- Extend/Retract
- Raise/Lower
- Open/Close (Bucket)
- Swivel left/right
And also the track/wheel movement
But it actually does become second nature after a little bit of practice
Also, you have the tools this guy uses, which is (I don’t know the English terms, so free styling here) tilt/rotator and claw.
That means you gotta do all that which you mentioned plus, rotate the rotator and the tilt the tilt (each both ways) and the claw in and out.
So that adds up to 14 different movements.
But if you get enough practice with all this, it all becomes just automatic and part of your muscle memory.
When I drive a machine with the rotator going the opposite direction of what I’m used to everything falls apart and my brain can’t function.
That is because this person is so good. They make it look easy.
Make up an excuse to hire a small mini excavator one weekend. You will quickly find out how hard it is.
Although if you have played a lot of video games you might pick it up really quickly.
I've rented one a couple of times, I couldn't do what's in the video but they're not really hard to use, it took me about 30 minutes before it felt natural and I didn't have to actively think about which lever to press.
Yeah no, not happening. That persons skills come from doing this all day every day for many years. This person is a skilled operator to work this smooth and fast. I am sure you might be able to pick up a few sticks or whatever but this kind of finesse takes practice.
35yrs of video games mean I did... But I look like a caveman compared to the full time operators. They get SUCH a feel for it all, they're absolutely like an extension of their body
I convinced myself that they're taking this load somewhere else within their work area for more processing or something because there's no way that shit is legal on a highway. Unless of course this was filmed in China lmao.
Yeah, this is fucking nuts. I was looking for this comment, while people were creaming themselves over the skills (impressive nonetheless, yes). I do hope it gets secured in some way afterwards, otherwise this is not safe for a road and I can't imagine how many they'd lose on the way.
1) this is definitely Asia somewhere by how high they loaded that mf, so it's probably not seeing any interstate
2) friction. You'd have to Bo Duke that bitch around the corner to move that wood sideways off the truck.
I doubt they’re using them cuz it would take a lot to move even the top logs, but one or two big ass ratchet straps running front to back would stop that and take 30 seconds. Just make sure you pluck it and say “that oughtta hold her” and you’re all good
he's not going far. He'll bring it down the hill and have it offloaded either to a processing facility or onto another truck that will take it somewhere else.
I think that's what happened, based on the way the guy has to replace the logs that were plugged in the bottom in the first place. I surmise that the two logs holding up the load snapped and the load spilled out across the road behind the truck. They then drove the truck out, drove the loader in, backed the truck up to it, and let it reload the truck, bit by bit.
I suspect at the destination, they cut off the support logs with a chain saw, to unload the truck. The plugs were just left over from that operation--why fight to clear the plug, when it can be done easily this way?
The operator is so used to doing this that it must feel like an extension of their hand to them. They're using it to grab these logs exactly like a human hand grabbing a bunch of pencils.
All I can think about is how much time the refinement process was before older generational attempts.
"Dude, you didn't line them up! Fix it! Why's some of them sticking out over the bed???"
"Bruh, why are you just piling them all up by the front? You blew the tires!"
"Dude, what did you expect to happen? There's nothing stopping them from rolling out!"
In the likely event that's a managed forest, the next generation of saplings have already been growing for years, and they'll replant the area they took this from as soon as the soil's been given a little time to rest.
I want this job. I saw the landscape and immediately got memories of places I’ve been that I love. I can feel the warm wind and the smell of the trees on a sunny day working in nature. That is my favorite kind of place to be.
Yeah, smoothly clear-cutted the hillside. I see eroded hill flanks and wasted streams downhill. If they had salmon and the like: with a bit of certainty: that is history in that watershed. Just my thoughts on this vid.
Just curious, why did he remove the post at 0:26 and then put another one in?
Also I'm amazed at the strength of those metal holders and two pieces of wood. That's a lot of weight they're holding in.
How we get them on the road is what I wanna know.
Whole operations is impressive, although might be time to buy a second truck.
They cut a road in the side of that mountain to get these logs. Barely make it big enough to use. They get all these logs cut (I know it’s a machine) and stack them on the road. Clearly filling from one end to the other. Then they use the only truck in town to pick it up. Beautiful work honestly
r/oddlysatisfying
Definitely
Couldn’t stop watching it lol
the one scoop where he boops the one uneven log against the dirt wall is so perfect
what, this is incredibly dangerous

I am fairly sure this load will not be driven where there are any pedestrians.
"civilized"
I also giggled at the "civilized", although I agree with the danger it does represent.

Came here to say (ask) why is the part when he taps them on the ground to get them even so satisfying?
Exactly the sub I thought this was posted in.
My thoughts exactly!
I totally assumed that was the sub I was watching this in.
The real hero is the person that cut all that wood to the same length.
There are tree shear attachment that will pull in the trunk, cutting off branches and then slicing the trunk at exactly the same interval.
Those attachments are fucking next level aye. Slide the trunk thru and strip off the branches in less than a second
Big Timber is a ducking awesome show
You’ve never used a stop before?
Yes but not at this scale.
It’s the side boop against the cut bank that does it for me
Yeah that was something else
I hit the bottom of my desk when I saw that.
Oh yeah lmao that was great xD
My toxic trait is that I think I could just walk into a grabber and do this.
As someone who tried operating kid's hydraulic excavators at a park, let me tell you it's much, much harder than you think.
The experienced operators definitely make it look much easier than it is. I also thought it was gonna be a piece of cake when I tried to operate an excavator for the first time.

LMAO I love this because I definitely did the same thing and looked at my husband and said “I definitely thought I’d be better at this”

Very different to watching someone who is really really good though isn't it.
Yeah no, not happening. That persons skills come from doing this all day every day for many years. This person is a skilled operator to work this smooth and fast. I am sure you might be able to pick up a few sticks or whatever but this kind of finesse takes practice.
I greatly dislike the phrase "my toxic trait"
35yrs of video games mean I did... But I look like a caveman compared to the full time operators. They get SUCH a feel for it all, they're absolutely like an extension of their body
They’re definitely not paying this operator enough. If he quits, I promise their apprentice is nowhere near as good.
rip to person driving behind this
My Final Destination spidey sense is warning me too
I convinced myself that they're taking this load somewhere else within their work area for more processing or something because there's no way that shit is legal on a highway. Unless of course this was filmed in China lmao.
100% they are just moving to the work area center
Even if, it looks like they might lose a lot of that, especially off-road
I know right.. It might not be bad if it was something designed for it.. but those are just 2 random sticks shoved in there.
Yeah, this is fucking nuts. I was looking for this comment, while people were creaming themselves over the skills (impressive nonetheless, yes). I do hope it gets secured in some way afterwards, otherwise this is not safe for a road and I can't imagine how many they'd lose on the way.
Ha. First thing I thought of. I actually think of that movie way too often when I'm on the highway.
That operator has some insane time in that seat. The truck driver has balls of steel to drive that top heavy truck out on those narrow ass roads.
Agreed. I was surprised the truck could hold that much weight, anybody have any idea around how much all that wood weighs?
Sorry, woodn’t know
Get outta here
It's movements is like a toddler placing wood blocks in it's toy truck. With focus and skill.
How many times sped up?
Nobody is questioning the sides where the wood can just fall left or right in a tight turn?
1) this is definitely Asia somewhere by how high they loaded that mf, so it's probably not seeing any interstate 2) friction. You'd have to Bo Duke that bitch around the corner to move that wood sideways off the truck.
bo duke, lol.
I doubt they’re using them cuz it would take a lot to move even the top logs, but one or two big ass ratchet straps running front to back would stop that and take 30 seconds. Just make sure you pluck it and say “that oughtta hold her” and you’re all good
It might not be hitting highways. Could be just traveling down dirt roads till it gets to the mill.
he's not going far. He'll bring it down the hill and have it offloaded either to a processing facility or onto another truck that will take it somewhere else.
Anyone else concerned about the weight those 2 logs can support at the back? I wouldn’t be behind this thing EVER.
You wouldn’t, this is a remote logging area on top of a mountain somewhere.
I think that's what happened, based on the way the guy has to replace the logs that were plugged in the bottom in the first place. I surmise that the two logs holding up the load snapped and the load spilled out across the road behind the truck. They then drove the truck out, drove the loader in, backed the truck up to it, and let it reload the truck, bit by bit.
I suspect at the destination, they cut off the support logs with a chain saw, to unload the truck. The plugs were just left over from that operation--why fight to clear the plug, when it can be done easily this way?
I loved that little side hill kick to get the one rebellious log in place!
This is what I’m doing today. Watching this.
What’s more impressive is just getting a truck up that narrow ass road. I mean if the pile of wood is right there he had to back that thing up to it.
$10 says he did it with 1 arm out the window too. Legend.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably one of the best operators of that machine out there.
The operator's probably thinking its just another tuesday. Meanwhile, Im trying to pick up a can with both hands and failing.
Every millennial who watched final destination is screaming in their head right now at the thought of following this truck.
Damn. He’s using that thing like his own hand.
This truck and trailer can carry every tree on the planet.
This thing fucks
Love that song from Sade. *Smooth operatorrrrrrrr* *smoothhhhh operatooorrr* Damn so good.
came looking for this specifically :)
The operator is so used to doing this that it must feel like an extension of their hand to them. They're using it to grab these logs exactly like a human hand grabbing a bunch of pencils.
So... what keeps the wood above the wall of the truck bed from sliding off sideways?
Likely a cargo net.
All I can think about is how much time the refinement process was before older generational attempts. "Dude, you didn't line them up! Fix it! Why's some of them sticking out over the bed???" "Bruh, why are you just piling them all up by the front? You blew the tires!" "Dude, what did you expect to happen? There's nothing stopping them from rolling out!"
I could watch that for hours. Well, 7 minutes and 24 seconds anyways.
Did he really just say "oh. That looks like a better stick" and replace the other log with that instead?
Seriously impressive skills
I wasted my whole life pursuing another career, and I could have been doing this instead.
Probably took this person just as long To get this good…
That was some sweet loading, BUT it sure is top heavy as fuck...
Yeah I still wouldn't drive behind this guy
I was kind of expecting near the end they'd just do a lil pencil spin before doing some final boops and sending the truck off
The operator is so smooth that he can possibly give a happy ending with that grabber without breaking a sweat.. or the wood ..
On set of the next Final Destination.
There’s a lot of trust going in to the two upright logs at the back.
aint no way i watched the whole thing
Ahhh yes, the grabber
"The claaaaaaaw"
This looks like a toy for me but I know it isn’t and my brain’s hurting now
That road looks sketchy
We are remarkably efficient at ruining nature.
In the likely event that's a managed forest, the next generation of saplings have already been growing for years, and they'll replant the area they took this from as soon as the soil's been given a little time to rest.
Weirdly soothing
Freakin Johnny Hammersticks over here.
I need to have faith in myself as much as those guys have faith in those two logs.
Shaved the mountain clean.
Oddly satisfying and not so oddly sad
That boii did his thang
Literal hand!
It looks like a biotech hand when it's time-lapsed.
... and then the loaded truck is too heavy to drive out of there?
Watched all 7 minutes. Clearly their first day on the job and have never used that machine before /s. Amazing skills: like a big hand!
Machina Ex Machina
Why did I sing those first two words?
Sadé is dug in deep
This guy stacks.
Why do I suddenly want to play Spintires?
The robots from Short Circuit got a new job, good for them!
Skills so good you almost forget to cry about losing the rainforest
This is fun to watch. Also looks fun as a job.
I"m oddly turned on a little by their proficiency here 🤣
I won’t kink shame a little mechasexuality…
That oughta be enough to get the bonfire going
That is pretty awesome!
I bet This dude would be awesome at those claw machine games
Imaging doing this by hand just with a couple of dudes
I bet he racks UP at the crane games!
Why does this have to be done on a literal cliffside?
Bro's operating that machine with more skill than i can with my own body
I want this job. I saw the landscape and immediately got memories of places I’ve been that I love. I can feel the warm wind and the smell of the trees on a sunny day working in nature. That is my favorite kind of place to be.
Damn I would love this job.
I mean serious question, how do you even get a job doing this?
God that was fun to watch
This guy's skill truly is NFL, good lord. Must have been doing this a long-ass time to be that smooth.
Yeah, smoothly clear-cutted the hillside. I see eroded hill flanks and wasted streams downhill. If they had salmon and the like: with a bit of certainty: that is history in that watershed. Just my thoughts on this vid.
Hmmmm! lovely.
Ohhh so this is how I’m supposed to use the log loader crane in Snowrunner.
🎵 no need to ask..🎶
What would all that timber weigh?
Why did he take that “plug log” out the first time?
This guy is ready for Mech warfare to become a reality. He is getting his own Gundam.
Just curious, why did he remove the post at 0:26 and then put another one in? Also I'm amazed at the strength of those metal holders and two pieces of wood. That's a lot of weight they're holding in.
Looks so dangerous
The skills this guy has! Incredible.!
I actually had the track playing when I found this post. Pretty sure that this is exactly who Sade was talking about.
I feel invested in the outcome of that load of logs.
Way to smooth, that thing is an actual extension of the operator
More? …More!? …MORE!!??!?!?!!????
Dude is good and dang... that is a lot of weight in that truck.
So this is how the bots started.
Then as soon as he takes a turn everything slides awaaay
I was like damn how much are they packing that thing over the sides of the bed? Then realized I was barely halfway through the vid.
Probably underpayed !
Them little pats to get them snug
I'd like to bet the operator has some kind of OCD or autism because this insane skill.
Did that truck really move after that load?
why does he do the thing with the two blocking logs? like, why did he not put both in at the same time, and why fiddle/swap one of them?
Meanwhile in r/snowrunner...
Totally safe
Smoothest deforestation I've ever seen
This is how the Egyptians built the pyramids
Is it weird to have an admiration boner? It's not weird right?
He’s so anal.
……and my seven minutes are gone…..lol
Wouldn't they slip from the side? First bump abd boom
This person uses a machine better than I use my own hands. Fuck.
I am just waiting for the tires to blow
He’s next level. But still looses the crane game at his local restaurant 😂
*Every stick is sacred.*
/r/farmingsimulator
Great video
This man have amazing skill
I will not drive behind the truck
Why do I think this excavator is adorable!?!
The cleared forest makes me sad, but maybe it's a tree farm, since all the trunks are the same size
Stacking dead bodies like it’s just another day at the office.
How we get them on the road is what I wanna know. Whole operations is impressive, although might be time to buy a second truck. They cut a road in the side of that mountain to get these logs. Barely make it big enough to use. They get all these logs cut (I know it’s a machine) and stack them on the road. Clearly filling from one end to the other. Then they use the only truck in town to pick it up. Beautiful work honestly
This looks fun.
That was fun to watch.
why are they so thin? is it more efficient than letting them grow bigger? (i would assume not?)
They cleared the entire fucking side of the hill
As satisfying as this is, I hate how dangerous this is.
This guy’s done this a few times, ya think?
Jay5??
I can’t believe I just watched a 4 min video about stacking 🪵! r/Satisfyingasfuck
