That’s why I did this video. Now everyone wants to show the grapples and easy way to do things, sometimes it is nice to see old way. Plus I kinda enjoy it still too! Thanks for watching!
My grandpa always used log prongs like that when he cut his firewood logs. That looks like locus wood, that stuff is hard as a rock when it dries. I wish i had a tractor that size for the lighter things to do around here. Keep up the work my friend.
Ben, had the basic setup on a Ford 3000, my boom was about 1/2 the length of yours, Also had a homemade 3 point splitter for it, biggest difference is that we only had one tractor 😂Take Care and Stay Warm 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Well there’s always a reason to upgrade but I wanted to show there’s another more affordable way. I wasn’t sure on the intro thought I’d try it and see. Thanks so much!
Great video. I have the same setup on my MF 230. Works great. If you ever take the notion to part with the 245, I have no problem driving up from western NC. I look forward to every video. Keep up the good work!!
I like the process Ben. You have a lot of challenges living on the side of a mountain, but always manage to get the job done. have a great day - cheers
Well other than seeing those things in horror movies they looked super useful! You are very self sufficient that is for sure, Ben. Like the new intro too!
I too like the new intro. What a great and simple effective setup that is. Thanks for another video to enjoy over my first and second cup of coffee. 👍 Say Ben, what is the chain pitch on your most used chainsaw?
The chain pitch is .325. I thought I’d try that intro and see what people thought. Those log tongs require a little more effort but it works. Thanks for watching!
Yes it’s very nice to have multiple tractors. It’s took lots of work, determination, help from others, and good fortune to achieve. But I never take it for granted. Thanks for watching!
This was filmed a little over a week ago. We had snow off and on all last week, been really cold. I watched some of your new splitter the other day, that’s nice! Appreciate you watching!
Great looking new intro mon ami 👌👍🧐 Chainsaw sharpening ( Can't wait to resume that activity,,,, ) OUSTANDING demo of your rear log lifter Sir 👍👌 My oncle has the same rear log hook and he put it on his front FEL on his Old Oliver Row Crop 66 ( my grand father tractor ) I love your wood splitter Sir 👌👍💪 Have a blessed Sunday Cheers 🍻
Log tongs are a very cost effective way of handling logs if you have no other way. We got by doing lots of logging that way. Now that I have all the fancy stuff the logging has slowed down 😢! Appreciate you watching!
Hey Ben, We had a boom pole on the farm, I don't know where it ever went, I wish I did. We also had a 3 point hitch loader with a trip bucket. We loaded a lot of manure with that loader. lol, It looked a little chilly there? That splitter works well on that tractor. Take care
A boom pole is very handy to have for lots of jobs. I’ve seen videos of those loaders but never one in person. It was cold and flurrying that day. The splitter has been great! Thanks for watching!
