In this video we go back into the woods to haul out maple logs I cut a few days before. Some of these logs are massive! Check it out and see how we get them back to the woodyard. #firewood #uppermichigan #ironmule
Hey Mike, whoever was in the Mule needs to be careful loading logs that are not in balance. At 10:45 mark he picked up a single log way out of balance and loaded it with the long end facing right at the cab. If that log were to slip out of the clam it's comin' right back at the operator. Always spin those out of balance logs so that the heavy end is facing away from the controls. Just my 2 cents. Good work and BE CAREFUL out there. Worked in the woods for 30 years and had plenty of close calls but survived it ! LOL Pat
Its gota be suds time, followed by dinner time. Your vid was a good watch. your fortunate to have heavy equipment like that to harvest firewood. I am sure you like firewoodin w/your old man. I remember firewoodin w/my old man on my Grandfathers century farm.
Mike few weeks back I was in good man Wis. Cutting Maple with my son-in-law and his buddy . When he was pounding on a plastic wedge about the 3 swing it came back and hit him square in the Jewel's. Never saw that with a steel one.
👍The effort to supply a few happy campers with firewood. Mike the sauna at camp doesn't care if the wood a little past it's prime. I have burned moss covered oak it just has a bit of sizzle😀 but still creates heat. What county due you have your bundles for sale?
