THIS LOG SLITTER IS A BEAST!! "UPGRADE ANY CHAINSAW FOR NEXT TO NOTHING WITH THIS" 

I've said it before... a man who cuts his own wood warms himself twice. Nice gear sir. Great vid drive on

how many cows do you milk i have plans to convert from beef/sheep to dairy

That splitter is so safe you could let your "workers" earn pocket money using it without you worrying! Such a lovely video, really brought a smile to my face, thanks.

We’re around half way through calving ourselves, I woke up this morning and there was a surprise standing out in the slats and he wasn’t supposed to come for another couple of weeks luckily enough he was up and had sucked

How's things a least u got out to cut the timber it's been raining here all week 😡 love your videos and your work ethic. Yr farm is spotless 👌👍🇮🇪

Your dead right, danger doesn't take a day off, safety is always priority.

I did 30 tattie boxes over summer with a home made splitter. Totally agree about it being a relaxing job. Verging on theraputic.

Serious log splitter, what kind of rent was she Adrian?

That log splitter looks the job, considering getting one, might enquire about one next week. Get yourself a pair of chainsaw boots/shoes if you haven't already got some, then you'll have all the safety gear.

That safety feature is some job, I spit open my finger on one of those single lever splitters, wouldn't have happened if had ur splitter,

Only fooling yourself bypassing safety measures !

How many cows do you have ?

That's a real tasty bit of brick paving at the house Adrian, it's a very tidy house.

Now thats a beast of a set up for timber, I'll be thinking of that the next time I'm out with the axe and buckets😁

I have a few log splitters but that’s a Cracking log splitter for safety (great for farm hands) and I been using Stihl for a life time & have a lot of them from ms880 72” bar, right down to wee 009 12” bar, they are the BEST saws out there 💪👍👍

Nice video mate, great to see the girls helping out, and great to see your channel flying ahead, not that I’m surprised mind, you have become another great ambassador for Irish farming. Great job. 🙂👍

Another cracking video 👌👌

we just bought a stihl 362

I bought all my stihl equipment 22 years ago and never had any problems with them. Always start on the first pull all these years later,

What horsepower is the case

That tipsy fin is a great design

Farmer p would be the man who would recommend a good saw especially when he runs a tree surgeon business.👍

You've got to love it! Your 150 hp $200k log splitter beats it all, and a 2nd tractor to haul it. One usually starts with a cheap usually free, wood stove to save heating costs, well maybe create a cosy mood. Then a chain saw and the clothing. Now one needs a cheap pickup truck to haul the timber. Then comes the winch to drag out this cheap source of heat from the woods, most of the trees are in swampy areas and only when the ground freezes can you get in there. Cable too short, a cheap tractor to drag out the logs is needed. The wood lot is too far from the house to drive the tractor so a trailer is needed to haul the tractor, but it can also carry logs, good idea. You now have 8foot logs piled 4feet high and 50-100 feet along your fence line, neighbours complain to the local authorities. Get it out of sight you are told. Right, cut the logs into average stove lengths, 16-24" stove dependent, and split and stack them. where? No problem, apply for a building permit and build a wood shed or why not, a future garage. Splitting is such a chore, our logs are much bigger and so many more of them than yours that we need not only a wood splitter but why not get a wood processor for just a few thousand dollars more, then, firewood could be sold from the end of the driveway. You can see how far this can continue to go on. I haven't seen any large rows of logs at your beautiful place, nor have I seen a firewood for sale sign at your farm gate. My hat's off to you, you are ahead of the game, well done. I hear that there is money to be made in wood pellets, will your splitter also press out pellets?

Can u give a big shoutout to stephen and anthony mccormack and brilliant vid adrian

May I suggest that when working with the log holder to have the gripping part on your right. Working it that way, when you get close to the steel you don't have to cross your body with the saw or the frame blocks your view of the bar

I agree Adrian. I cut a fair bit of hardwood for our 2 stoves. I have a big saw and a smaller mid range one. I use my MS 231 for most of my stuff but when I've got some real heavy stuff, out comes my big girl. Husky 365, brilliant saw and hasn't missed a beat in 15 years....but heavy! 💪

Brilliant work Adrian , love your videos

Fantastic Adrian! Nothing like splittin logs for a bit of therapy! 👍🏻👍🏻🪵🪵

Thanks for a great video adrian all thanks to yourself looks like the ms170 will be my first chainsaw.

That smart holder is just billiant, i already placed the order

Adrian,timbercroc have one that works on the 3 point linkage of a tractor,great job as you can raise it up to the desired height so saves bending the back.

Hello Adrian do you like your new catching bucking

Another really enjoyable video. One suggestion for anyone burning timber, get a moisture meter. An extra 6 months seasoning might make the difference between 20% and 15% no comparison while burning. Totally different heat output.

Great 👍 video like 👍 the chainsaw a lot of fire 🔥 wood that will keep the wife happy 😃 keep safe 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧😌😌😷😷

Great video, that was mine and my brothers job, cutting sticks for the range, good memories, sort of!

I love the videos. Just something that occurred to me- I saw you repositioning some of the logs, would it be an idea to paint a line (like a crosshairs) on the table/ deck to help with positioning smaller blocks?

Hello Sir I love the Log splitter very clever piece of kit I wonder if a Power Pack would operate that splitter Honda pack or JCB Beavertale cheers love the machinery powerful tractor with the right Hydraulics helps have a great 2023 Great to see the girls shifting firewood many hands make light work Are you doing anything more on the house

What's the litres per min flow on your tractor, and the tonnage rating on the ram please, looks a ni e machine, vertical log splitters with a table so much better than picking stuff off the floor. Now you just need to build a rack to cut your small round wood in. I use a ms261 with a 16 inch bar and cut 10-12 pieces of small round wood 5ft in length in one hit, 6 cuts gives you 70 pieces of firewood and your not bending down.

Hi It always makes me chuckle when you watch American videos comparing 2 very similar saws cutting through 30 inch+ logs What does that matter just do it safely

That dog is some tank what age is he or she now?

Good to see you getting more views than grassmen 😂 keep the excellent videos flowing 👌

She is looking well so she is 👍.

you threw me off when said you got your chainsaw in cavan.I live near Cavan Canada and their is no chainsaw dealership. Most of the town near me are named after your area. baliboro, monagahn, duro, It is really cool that stihl give you trade in value for your old saw.I do not think they do that everywhere. where did you get your limb holder?

Good work.... ur well kitted out for the sticks now. Ifarm Wefarm lumber jacks on the way 👌👍.

Carrolls have mighty stuff and will make it to your spec have you tied the Timbercroc for holding your lenghts while cutting with the saw its a great tool

Very nice log splitter, I especially like that there is a pin on the blade and that it's not welded to the ram. Can I ask you will any spool valves do on the tractor. I don't know if mine are restricted on return or are most tractors?

Can you please do a tour of the Massy Ferguson and the case do you Follow the funky farmer on RU-vid

Great Video always, all content well explained clearly. most of all honestly!!

Chainsaw trousers are like most other safety equipment - a total waste of money, until you have an accident 🙂.

I love how the dogs just chill out and watch without a care of what your doing. Always the best type of dogs :)

can see you take great pleasure in your work and the farm is so clean. Stay safe 👍 👍

Great video again 👍good to see the girl's helping.

Cycle time to slow, could smoke pack cigarettes before its done

Great video. Really enjoyed it.

That splitter Is some job my dad has one but it is a foot pedal one an bracks off all the time

I love my Stihl's I've got an 076 / 461 / 231

Great vid, how much would a model like that set u back?

Great video 👍

With al that power you would think you could get away with a star blade (cuts the logs into 4 or more pieces). Get the welder out 🤣😂

First

Do you have any 🐑

Again great Video, can't believe bit about green lid.a bit of colour is great to brighten up things.

Once you go to a log splitter you wont go back😂👍

Great video Adrian!.. the 895 is looking smart with her new shoes 👌🏻

I love that bin! There is another handy product, you probably wont need it since you cut your logs so short. Its called Woodcutters helper, its a magnet with a fiber rod to attach to the chainsaw blade it helps you getting the same length on every cut. If you google woodcutters helper it should come up on the first links from ebay a little costly in my opinion might be you could use one of those telescopic magnets mechanics use to pick up screws instead im not sure at least they are under half the price.

Very nice video Adrian 😄

You are a crazy with a chainsaw.👌

Michael Cusack Smith yes

Class content nice log splitter

If you left the Christmas wrapping on the tipsy bin would it have been approved by the missus?

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

Hi adrian how many cows do u milk

Some hassle with needing 2 hands to move it up and down, sometimes you'll get timber that "pops" if ya get me and its nearly safer to hold onto it incase it flies somewhere it shouldn't 😬

Big Stihl fan as well. My first saw was the 039 Farm Boss. Then I picked up the 391 when I had a 2 saw job coming up, and followed that up with the arborist saw. I also have the complete Combi set of tools with an 095, and a 130 power head.

My da has a stlhl ms 180 he loves it

I would really like to see your stove, I've never seen wood cut so small. I burn wood every year. I really like your show, you have a very sweet family.

Great video as always Adrian. Keep up the good work

Do you have a bull or do you AI

How much did the splitter set you back? Nice bit of kit

👍😃

Where is your log holder from

Where in ireland are yous ?

what the splitter set u back

would invest in a pair of chainsaw rubber boots also ..........not the nicest to ware but might save you some day .........got mine back in 92 and still have them today as only ware them when i am at timber .............

Great video Adrian

Adrian: What good information on the chain saws! Can you show us how you sharpen the blades? How about lubrication for the blades? Oh MAN, making noise and taking things apart :-) Love it!!! So well organized. Oh that log splitter is a jewel!!! And the tipsy bin next to it. It is like a production-line in a factory. Love the music with it. Still have not made a tether for the pin, I see. You wouldn't have to be putting it in your pocket if you did. What a wonderful video. God bless you, Adrian. So much fun to watch.

Absolutely love watching your channel, reminds me of when I used to help out on the farm just down the lane from us near Workington in West Cumbria. 👍

Love the vid adrian

Try 15 refs 👍

What are the dimensions of the new shed going to be?

Hi Adrian, agree with you re ms170....Great piece of kit....bought one last year to reduce an overgrown hedge and it is a fantastic little saw.

Very good job all round ,friend of mine once was using log splitter like yours but with a foot pedal,had his hands on top of the log being split,fingers slightly in cracks,, and yes you guessed it,cracks slowly closed,lost four finger tips,,,loved seeing the choc lab out with you,reminded me of my best mate,lost him at the age of 5yrs,,seizures,was getting them badly.keep up the interesting work/jobs.

Nice one Adrian. I think you're wife is just too PC. Black lids matter, what next😂

We got a post driver

Great video, just bit of advice always put chain break on even just putting saw down on ground .

Always look forward to the weekly vlog, quality content and its always a pleasure to watch. Thank you 🍻

Awesome video 😃

I’ve a 170 aswell great little yokes. The boys in Donegans are sound as a pound and rapid delivery ill be buying off them again in future ! Great video lad 🤙🏻

Looks like a class piece of kit that Adrian. Don't know if Rocky could have handled Drago if he'd used one of them for training instead of his axe! By the way, that tip you shared for pouring can of Guinness👌

Great video Adrian, a fine log splitter, just a idea, ur hose connections to tractor, if u put the return a non-restricted return, (not through valve chest) on massey's there's place's to put in fittings, non-restricted returns will save external chest on log splitter. Mechanic told me to do it years ago, I put one on for my tractors for log splitter, road sweeper n hedgecutter.
