Good video Jake. That is a good set up you have. The Eastonmade is a winner,as is the excavator,but the star of your show got to be that great old truck,fantastic! One cord is 3.66cubic metres therefore two would be7.32 cubic metres. One hell of a load! Cheers from HB NZ

Heck yeah man, excavator log sawing is so easy. Real back saver. Good work fellas. Id use some half inch plate for the teeth project, put them suckers down the whole lenth of the thumb spaced out about an inch between them, thats what i did to the one at my work and it helped hold logs 10x better. Hey maybe that phone pole log needs a pay raise for saving your butt. 😂😂 Great video

@jonseim4030 Месяц назад

Where I work, our first hook truck was an international dt4300. Was good, but had too many electrical issues. My boss switched the frame over to a 2011 F550 with the 6.7 powerstroke. The f550 lifts the same amount of weight, and hauls it more comfortably in my opinion. Our chip truck is actually a built switch and go style, with a winch. Don't really swap the bodies to often on that truck, but we do have a flatbed for it. Amazing concept that just makes one truck so versatile!

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

Nice! I wish this truck had the bigger dt466 motor it’s a bit of a dog and not well suited for highway travel but it sure it useful!

Your setup is perfect in my opinion, way better than a firewood processor. You get perfect size splits that you control, you get a nice little easy workout, and you have any excavator at the end of the day to do a million other projects 👍👍👍

@oldguyfirewood Месяц назад

That truck is perfect for what you’re doing Jake. I’ve been giving it some thought and I agree in discounting green firewood since you are reducing labor and equipment costs by splitting right into the dump and delivering immediately. Your profit per cord can therefore be the same with a reduced sales price.

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

Yep, as much as I don’t like discounting it you have to being green. It’ll save me from having to do extra deliveries in the peak of the season.

@WilleysFirewood Месяц назад

I’ve been eyeballing a hook lift for quite some time so that we can process ahead and stage containers. We do 12-20 cord per week of all green firewood.

@user-td2qw6dg7w Месяц назад

Jake, could you hear me holler telling you watch your conveyor. Ha Ha. Maybe load most of it in the box & top it off with your tractor after you load it on the truck. You’re stretching the limit of your truck. If you invested a few $$$$ in a cement pad where you place your box container you would have a much easier time pulling it onto your truck off the cement. Also, cleaner place to fill totes. Great video, thank you for sharing. Dave D from Maine.

@user-td2qw6dg7w in the future, I will just rest the front of the dumpster down on that telephone pole piece, that 8” made all the difference

@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood Месяц назад

Hi Jake. I think it makes sense to discount and deliver green. I don’t know how much you have to discount the wood. It’s hard to find customers with the money that’s tied up for a year or two waiting for the wood to dry. So you have a Baumolite mini skid. Are you trying it out or do you own it. I would maybe consider buying one but was wondering what are your thoughts on that unit. Let me know what you think if you have time. The international didn’t let you down.

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

It’s not really tied up for a year or two, more like 6-8 months. In and ideal world they would call me early spring to restock their supply for the following year. The mini skid I have for a two year demo. It’s proven to be a nice useful machine but it does have its kinks.

@Stihlalive044 Месяц назад

Willey's Firewood in Maine, the majority of the wood he sells is green hardwood, and does he put out some serious cords every week.

@adampittman1624 Месяц назад

Hey Jake I like the idea of getting more leverage with the electric pole also I’d try mayb laying some 2x6 or 2x8 boards down under where the wheels on dumpster can set that way they will roll easier n not dig in n make ruts. Love the channel bud.

Question for you, i seen you have gravel down. How do you clean it off after splitting and cutting rounds. After i spilt i use my grapple and scrap the ground. But we have been getting so much rain this year.

@DudeRanchDIY 24 дня назад

Yeah I have asphalt Millings, I use my grapple, rakes and blowers to keep it clean.

@hayesrutherford9415 Месяц назад

Would be cool to just raise up the conveyor and split directly into the box so not sure I would personally go that route. Lately I've found the fastest firewood income for me is to split and conveyor directly into customers truck.

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

I’d love to do that but my roof doesn’t allow the conveyor to go high enough! I need to build a bump out in it!

@thomasgreene5750 Месяц назад

It looks as if you might need a harder steel for the teeth on the thumb. You might check with your friend the welder to see if their isn't a hard (high carbon) steel compatible with the existing steel that could be applied as a weld overlay.

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

The teeth have actually been fine, it’s the roll pins that secure them. They keep breaking, I need to find a better supply of them. The Kubota ones are over $20 a piece!

@RoadiesGotWood Месяц назад

Hey Jake! Great video, i really love that International! I do have a question for you about the box wedge on the 22-28. I've been watching your videos for years so i think i know what your answer will be but I'd like your input anyway. I also run a tree service business as well as my firewood business. Im going to pick up a 22-28 directly from Eastonmade in a few months and im debating which wedges to get. I process wood from 4 to 40 inches in diameter, i sell lots of bundles and heating wood. I know i want the pizza wedge and possibly the 5 way box wedge but im debating the usefulness of an 8 way or a 6 way. Ideally I'd collect em all of course but at 1300 to 1800$ each knife, understandably i dont wanna get a 1500$ knife im never gonna use. Im curious as to your opinion and experience on the subject. Being on the west coast of Canada, I've never even laid eyes on an Eastonmade. Thanks a keep up the good work

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

I rarely use my 6 way, if I want to split 6 pieces I use the box wedge and they are the right size the first time, every time. Yes it does make a lot of scrap which needs to be dealt with somehow, but I find the ease and consistency of the wood with the box wedge to outweigh the scrap.

@RoadiesGotWood Месяц назад

Thanks a lot for taking the time Jake, i appreciate it. I think you're right

You should be able to turn on your cruise control. Rev it up to 1k hit set and it will hold that RPM. That will give you more power running hydraulics

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

Truck doesn’t have cruise control

@gw9951 Месяц назад

cruise control is designed to keep a constant speed not a constant RPM, so that would not work.

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

Not exactly true, on larger trucks with pto’s you can engage cruise control and raise the rpm of the motor to run a pto to power the dump bodies.

does that truck require a CDL?

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

No it doesn’t unless I’m towing one of my trailers but I have one anyway

@bwillan Месяц назад

It depends on the rules for the DOT in his state. His truck may require a US DOT number, but not require a CDL to operate. Brad at Firewood at the Furnace did a few videos on this topic a while back (he's retired law enforcement in the commercial vehicle enforcement unit).

@DudeRanchDIY Месяц назад

@bwillan The trucks GVW is under 26,000lbs and does not have air brakes therefore it is a non-CDL truck as is, no matter the state. The second I attach either one of my 14k trailers to it you need a class A CDL. It is however a vehicle over 12,000lbs so it does require commercial tags in the state of CT as well as a DOT # both of which I have.

You talk normal speed, for a lot of time. A lot of talk. Then you 6x the activity; sawing, lifting, splitting, conveying, even driving; so fast forward.. But, the talk is much.

Splitting wood is a pretty repetitive activity, I edit the footage to try to make it a little more entertaining to watch. If you’d like to see someone split a load of wood in real time from one spot on a tripod I’m sure there’s plenty of videos on RU-vid that you can find.
