Making Firewood and Cutting Premium Saw Logs! 

TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO GUY'S 😊

Thanks for taking us along. Yes enjoyed. Best wishes, D

I just love those rolling hills.

nothing but hard work

There is something satisfying about cutting wood!

Remember cutting firewood in the middle of winter stormy windy outside the bush Nice and calm Cold was nice to split wood and the winter doing it by hand

Some nice looking logs there from Ireland

River Just happy as can be . Bobcat works nice , you need a stump grinder for it . Great video , what a view😊 .

What a beautiful farmstead property

Even with modern-day tools making 🔥 wood is alot of hard work!!Just think the"old timers"did ALL by hand!! Thanks😊.

Brings back memories of my youth; crosscut saw; saw on front of our AC-WC; and finally a chain saw.

Always cool to see yall cut up fire wood

Nice Log 👍Thanks (N.Graber)

Skid loaders are awesome for the wood cutting ,nice. Thanks so much men!!

excellent job good to see you and your dad working together to get this done God Bless

Awesome video. Do some more.

great wood chopping

Nice looking hickory logs.

Great video and organized use of trees and logs.

Burning wood helps a great deal keeping costs down on the farm. In an Industry where so much is out of your control, everywhere you save money is critical, especially given the cost of propane. Cutting wood was always hard work but I have a lot of good memories of woodcutting days. My grandparents lived in their old farmhouse with no indoor plumbing and wood heat until Granddad passed away in 1978. We would all gather once a year, cut, split and stack a year's worth of wood in one day and burn the brush. Everyone brought their particular chainsaw, taking pride in who cut the most, the longest with the fewest breakdowns. The younger guys teased my Dad about his huge old 1959 McCullough 35 while they had much newer saws, but every year he seldom stopped for anything but gas and lunch and he was a little guy 5 foot 5 and 140 lbs. The younger cousins were proud when they moved up to splitting wood getting off of brush duty. They argued about what was better, a good sharp axe or a maul. We felt young strong and invincible. Good times, but man, wouldn't a skid steer with a grapple and a safe splitter have been nice :-)

I appreciate all your hard work on these videos. Thank you. Love yaaaaaaaa mean it

Love watching your videos reminds me of the farm when I was growing up

During my lifetime(83 years) there has always been good demand for quality white oak timber. It along with black walnut always seem to be sought after.

White Oak, wow, I have 2 Oak that I know of. Oak like dry feet. Our land is wet. Love my 661. Can't wait to see your saw mill. I have a Logosol mill for the 661 saw but it wastes a lot of lumber. Nice for the odd few trees out on the wood lot. I have 6x6 and 4x4 fence posts, so it works great for this as apposed to wasting good wood.

Lots of "fun" in this video! Great teamwork exemplified here. That skid-steer sure mushes up the ground. I'd probably throw some winter rye-grass seed at the scar pretty soon. Always enjoy your content.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Great to see all what you do on the farm. Your countryside just looks like your in England. Amazing how similar it is. All the best 🇬🇧.

Great work ethics that is quite a lot of cutting

When I was a kid we heated the house with wood and also had a wood fired heater in the cow tank. We made firewood. No wood splitter, no skid steer, one David Bradley chainsaw, axes, mauls and splitting wedges...you make it look too easy. As a side note, white oak veneer often goes for barrel staves...wine and whiskey barrels.

Wow. Both piles of wood are impressive. Should be enough to heat you good for the winter.

When I saw the previous wood cutting video I was guessing some of those tall straight trees would go for lumber rather than firewood.

Thanks for sharing the video. Enjoy watching them. I enjoy listening to y'all explain things. I'm a Stihl man myself. I'm sure your Dad is going to be excited when his sawmill gets there. I have a Buddy that has one and he saws some nice lumber with it. I need to get him to saw me some so I can add on to a machine shed. Never enough space for the machinery.

Well shoot. Was hoping to see the splitter in action....

wood is always hard work you guys make it look easy we have had cherry wood trees cut and stolen cheers

Do you have a saw mill or do you take to local saw mill. The fire wood do you burn it in fireplace or do you have one of those external boilers that runs a liquid loop into the home.

You guys do a good job of keep your chain away from the ground. So many you tubers run their saw right down into the dirt. Only an inexperienced cutter lets that happen. Can't wait to see your saw mill.

Looks like some really nice saw logs in that pile. Lots of good hard work out of the two of you.

You and your father do a good job with the cows and calefs, and bulls and dogs 🐕 have fun. Good luck you do a good job with the wood and fence boards

grate video i love seeing nothing going to waste and very nice saving the saw logs i enjoy your own to earth videos my favorite wood is cherry and hickory an r oak to burn take care and happy holidays.

Holy 💩 your dad is only a couple years younger than me, but he could out work ‘kids’ half his age. And I thought I was a hard worker. But he’d run circles around me. 👏💪

A good workout for you guys today. I'm curious to see how well the splitter works on the new Bobcat. That wod pile is a long way from the heater. Better get it out before the snow starts coming.

It’s precook watching how you guys take care of your farm. How do you dry your boards when you cut lumber out of logs. I’m sure you stack them up so they get air in between the boards. I’ve heard that years ago when farmers made yokes for their oxen they would put the chunks of timber in an oats bin or put the boards in the hay mound and cover them up to get the moisture out. Not sure if that is true or not. God bless

Great to see you guys wearing chaps and hearing protection.

Another very well-made video! l'm always amazed how you take the time to set up different camera angles and explain what you are doing. As the owner of a small Wood Mizer myself, (LT 15), I'm curious to know more about the mill you went with and to see videos!

How many acres do you guys have, how many tillable? Sure a beautiful farm!

I like all your content. If you have the time to make the videos we will watch. Definitely praying for Brett Thomas and his family. Be safe everyone. God bless and protect all the hard working people who make our lives so much easier.

Nice show, glad you highlighted the fact that logging poses many hazards. Were you able to test out the splitter on the new skidsteer? Thanks!

What kind of sawmill are you buying?? I love my woodmizer

Just wondering, would it save a lot of bending over if you buzzed the firewood with the grapple holding them up in the air? It might also keep your bars out of the dirt a bit more.

Nice video

cool

My Granpa told me only fill your saw 3/4 full.of gas. Fill it full with oil. You won't run your saw out of bar oil was his theory. I have never forgotten that advice..

Enjoy the wood processing videos. Could you explain how you go about selling saw logs or what it consists of?!

Dad mentioned furniture ,maybe he would show us some of his furniture pieces?

How do you plan on getting the stumps out so you don't hit with equipment?

Wanna see that splitter work

Believe it or not, I use olive oil as chain oil on my chainsaw. Works great! (I should add, I would use vegetable oil, but I do not have any.)

What length are you cutting your firewood to? Looks like 30".

good video and job what kind of sawmill is dad getting? he will have nice logs to saw. take care, be safe and well.

I guess I missed that you are getting a sawmill. What are you getting?

Nice saws. Real nice wood to burn.

Great video, do you remove stumps ?

Your dad sure can work for his age Which I could work like that

Do you guys replant trees for future fire wood?

Do you just grind out the stumps? John T.

So will have the stumps ground out

What Sawmill did you end up choosing?

what new saw are you waiting for?

Would love to see a quick tutorial on saw chain sharpening. I know there are lots of vids on YT but I would trust what you guys have found works well for you. I mostly cut just for firewood myself, have Stihl saws too. Dairy farm country out here too in Upstate NY. Similar weather so far here, but closer to Great Lakes they have coating of snow.

What kind of sawmill ?

Do you have a channel on your logging .

How big is y’all farm y’all have lot land look like

Is the parent the only one works for time on ya farm

Years ago down in Ohio I had no choice but to cut up beautiful big cherry blow downs for fire wood. I knew it would be the last time I had no choice and a few months later I had a band mill and have never had any regrets. some logs are much too nice to burn.

Pray for Brett Thomas. Lost an entire leg and almost 2 and almost his life a month ago in a logging accident in our area. He was a young man in his 30's with a family.🙏

Good lord, it sounds like your Dad is a bit rough on equipment, just the way he tossed the logs wasn't to safe. Just my observation
