I am a "firewood hobbyist." This channel is where I share aspects of this hobby, by showing how I produce firewood, and other general outdoor activities.
@mrg52u11 not as long as I'm not bring goofy. Starts pretty easy most times. But that was a brand new (rebuilt) carb I had sitting on the shelf, one of the first things I had to fix
It's not tall enough, at least not for the tongs I have. The next time I use it, I'll get some footage trying my tongs. I'll also look for a shorter set of tongs too. Thanks for watching!
Ole trucks a beauty. Using them is a must , to keep seals from drying. Ive got a '73 c50 on the farm. Shes fading fast. Gets corn fertilizer put on it😢😢. Rear brake cylinders are shot from sitting. Still runs good though. Got the 350 in it. Hire trucking of corn and soybeans done. It only holds 6 1/4tn, little over 5 legal.
@brandonhoad9033 Thanks! I bought this one from the original family-farn that bought it now in 1967. Only has 67,xxx miles! I had to completely re-do all the brakes, and replace the front tires/wheels. Also swapped the carburetor and un-did a bunch of farm-repairs. That headache rack is cut down from the original grain bed, and I've got plans to cut the grain bed sides to about 18" to give me sides on it
@@FirewoodInTheField it must have post holes on the sides. Some nice hickory or oak planks would be sweet Rack on mines a p o s, it's off a '49 Ford 😅😅. Even says Ford. I think it's got 72k on it. Folks bought it used around '77-79. Idk what it's first life was
@brandonhoad9033 yep,,, it has stakepocket holes where the grain bed sides used to be. When I haul logs I just stick 2x4s in them. Will eventually make short sides out of them though
@JCGCUCU nope. It's a brand of.log splitter called Ramsplitter. You can look them up online. They are located near Rockford IL, but can probably ship anywhere
I enjoy working with the hack, they grow straight and tall here in iowa. I prefer to deal with them when it's cold tho, seems like they split better. Cut them green, split it frozen. I especially admire the smell
@tyharland1906 Thanks for the feedback! I'm behind on publishing, this was back in early June. I'll show in coming videos, I am splitting all that to clear a space for rearranging my woodyard setup
most all the rounds we get are 36 to 48" diameter. tree service rounds no one wants. we just focus on noodleing the rounds with our big saws. its a lot of work but its what we love. keep up the good job.
@brandonhoad9033 understandable! I can get a lot of the big stuff free, and I'm a glutton for punishment, I suppose! 😂 I'll have a 2nd video splitting more of this, but it goes better.
I have some great memories in a truck just like that. We called it the “Greeny Beanie” it was actually yellow. Used to drive around the shop at about 10 years old. Great looking trucks.
@@VicsYard Thanks for sharing that! I've got a little footage using it to take some firewood to my inlaws.. probably 1 or 2 weeks before I get time to edit and publish
Looks just like a heavy duty deer lift thru Walmart i was eyeballing for hunting fire wood etc. First thing id do is get a short handle log clamp and ditch that screw in gizmo.
@jimmieburleigh9549 I've tried my log-tongs, but they are so long I can't get the rounds high enough to get on the truck (unless it's small rounds. But then I don't need this crane at all) Good ides though. I'll look for a shorter set of tongs that can still open wide enough for large rpunds
