I agree with the idea of a raised ramp and platform for your tractor to sit on. I’m sure you could move some dirt around to put that together. That’s the way the pro excavator operators do it. Welcome back!

Glad to see you back. I was wondering where you were. Thinking on the loading of the trailer. What if you had a dock that you could park the trailer up to sideways and then a gentle ramp up to the trailer that would give you the height you need to dump the totes.

Your workaround for dumping totes into the trailer looks just fine. I load seasoned wood from a stack by hand directly into Gaylord boxes( heavy cardboard boxes used for produce in farm stands and at auctions, cost is $10. barely used in SE Pennsylvania USA), then move directly with tractor to my covered deck next to my house. Each box holds about 1/4 cord, easily lifter with subcompact tractor using rear mounted forks. PTO lift capacity much more than front forks. No counter weights needed. Wood is handled only once after splitting and stacking. If you have access to cheap boxes like these, you could deliver in them if the customer has a way to move/place them

Glad you're back. Without a doubt, load the back tires. That will make it more stable, improve traction and safer. Getting a few of those concrete blocks and building a ramp, then pull the trailer next to it. That would give you 2' more hight.

I know you've invested quite a bit into using totes for firewood storage and transport, but this is exactly why I used firewood bulk bags. Less weight, firewood doesn't need to be stacked, the amount is still measured by volume so you know how much is in them, and all you need to do is tip them over the side and gravity does the rest. Just a thought. I use totes as well, but not for something I'm going to be dumping into a trailer or truck. Nice dump trailer!

Welcome back. Glad you're making videos again. When did you switch to IBC totes for your firewood storage needs? The sides on your dump trailer are quite high. Do they need to be that high for any reason? It looks like you could carry a full cord of loose fire wood with much lower sides.

Not quite on topic, but, back in the day before 4 wd/awd vehicles, I ran studded chains on a rear wheel drive Volvo wagon and it would go almost anywhere. We would go to the Goodwill store and buy tire chains and cut them to fit. If chains are cheaper than changing tires, might want to try them. Concrete surfaces won’t like them, however.

The only other item I would recommend is a better grill guard as the Kubota is just plastic and there are expensive items behind it if a piece of brush punctures through it. I believe the company is 511 Design. Love the 4060.. Good luck

Hi Jason I'm from north of Fredericton and I've worked in the woods most of my life I also was a part of the Maritime forest ranger school trail cutting crew back in the 90's. I find when knotchjng and falling a tree I leave a bit of wood on my back cut until everything is ready to go then pull the saw out and cut the little bit off the back This prevents you from becoming saw bound. It also allows for you to be able to put a wedge in . Give it a try. Love your videos neighbour!
