I think it's going go two ways he's going to be the best person to ever touch this thing or he's going to fail miserably I don't want to make you nervous that machine about 500,000 bucks well now you're making me [Music] nervous oh man I'm kind of nervous now I'm sh no you're Goode it's not prime time no more so being in the cab is extremely say is he going to be in there with me or I'm not I don't want to be solo he won he won't be sitting on your lap but he'll be close enough no you're going to run it he's going to be next to you he has the most experience of anybody on our crew running that machine so you're literally with our our student expert what you're legitimately your job is you're taking a tree and making it into a log so we can send it to the mill okay simple except in your case we're making them for you guys to work out with Port device so part of what we're trying to do here is just to get um wood that we produce on the experimental Forest used on campus this is wood from trees that have been managed for over 90 years by students in the College of Natural Resources that's just a great way to highlight sustainability and we're super excited to be working with the strength conditioning program uh providing some wood that can help out Vandal Athletics Sam's an expert he'll show you how it's done please scir you're going to be fine we put students in these all the time we just take it slow focus on safety can we cut it hell yeah put this L down okay now now it's live so the second you start touching oh all right so you're going to want to use this to bring it down so you pull it towards you you're going to use these buttons right here you can just kind of press them and it'll start moving back going you're logging but now you're going to hold this up going cut it w there you go you did it he did excellent that one doesn't track into the mountains at all it pretty much stays where it's at uh but that one is like it's like a a tank all right with a a huge grapple on the on the back you just tank through the woods grab stuff coming it only grabs one tree at a time no no you can grab a whole bunch that way is forward and this way is revers you can feel that in your hand up is forward down is reverse yes it's like you're driving a tank right yeah this thing is crazy I can't lie to you go vend be up which one's heavier um so Doug fur and white fur are going to be your two heaviest species white fur in my experience is heavier um just because it has more water in it and it's a little bit more dense Pine is significantly less dense and therefore is less weight yeah so coach H was looking for something a bit more dense and 12T in uh in length that would be the Doug fur or the white fur they weigh more than the Ponderosa Pine we're trying to make sure all the logs are the same lengths and diameter so you can really see the weight difference between the different species I feel like we going to carry them like this like as a team and just walk what 50 50 yards yard and then put it back down as a team exercise or something I don't know why don't we test that out while we're here we've got one made already yeah let's do it we're going to have six just like these two um these are Grand fur so they have a lot of moisture in them so they're going to be heavy so we want to see if they're heavy enough or too heavy for you right now there we go put it down all right Sam got this yeah all [Music] [Music] right the two dry ones are Pines um and they were already debarked two on the end of the heavy ones and then the two smaller ones are are white F and they'll be heavy this year a lot of water right they'll they'll dry a ton hey these hooks are easiest guys when you do it together teamwork okay now straight over to the black top guys remember I just provided the devices keep the on with the torture and P one movement drive there you go there we go good well we got to get you guys a flip it have you guys flipped one of these before get get over here and flip it there we go got it there we go there we go there we go there we go you guys up to try try out a football drill you guys good for that so one of you guys can have to do a l demo for him you got a rip rip [Music] [Applause] it hey good game good game go Vandal on three one two three [Music]
