Looks like a great little machine and it looks light enough to also keep low impact on the terrain!

Are they designed to fall with?

Always fun playing with new toys …age doesn’t matter!!

Nice ! did you get to watch some of the harvesting in action ?

Did you get a chance to run the harvester ? The woodlot owners association put on a demo with this gear . I was going to go but I couldn't get away from our farm that day. I think there's a real opportunity here in N.S. for this smaller gear.

Must limb trees like David V. Only limb three sides. Lol.

That thing is awesome... i could get good use out of that for a weekend... hahah subscribed

could the loader be mounted on the back to increase visibility for the operator?

Cool video, I enjoy seeing the smaller equipment working. That forwarder looks like a great balance of size and power.

Nice lookin machine!

Did you say you didn't use DSS dual steering(?) It looks like the automatic steering was on and boggie was steering all time!

Awesome video and a great company. We're in good hands.

Great video loved it I have heard nothing but great things about out mc power a lot of people use them for sure machine seemed real smooth hydraulics on the loader

Can’t ship it to St. John?

I had no idea they made a 555fx with heated handles. That would have been nice back in the day.

I have a 225 which is similar. You probably have Eaton axles and I have Rockwells. I've got the screamin demon too. Nice to see the old gear working.

I resigned myself to treating balsam fir as a weed. That's how it is now in NS. I cut all of them down wherever I'm working on my woodlot and leave any healthy hardwood and a few mature spruce for seed trees if they can handle the wind.

I have a 322 acre lot that I call a glorified hobby and a tax write off. I try to sell my junk softwood for firewood blocked split and delivered, but there isn't much money in it and to move any amount I have to undercut everyone else. I don't sell anything to Freemans anymore because their prices are unfair. I have a sawmill but it's no easy to do it all as one guy. You ending maintaining equipment more than you use it. I probably spend $500-$1000 a year just on batteries. Lol. Anyway, good to see local content. Liked and subbed.

Ol Millie sure loves the camera! Spotted her snout sneakin in a few shots too lol ! Side note , the old farm house is a very cozy spot too! Who would ever want something new when you have that beautiful old frame. Great times and memories with your father as well. Love to see it

I bet you never would have imagined yourself doing KZbin videos like this years ago! 🤓😄

Great video! Super informative

10 cord for the old house is amazing.

Great video I really enjoy your videos . Perfect out door wood storage nice furnace as well I have an out door furnace here at my place I’m going to replace it in the coming years . Who sells those furnace if he don’t mind me asking

Nice update, good times with pops too. We're just about to pull the trigger on a OWB for ourselves.

Are you maxed out for weight with 2 cord?

I run a 16ft gooseneck, I fit 2 cords loose and give a discount on the delivery fee…ie i calculate time for delivery @80$ per hour from my yard and back min 50$ and discount 50$ off a 2 cord load, the customers that are not very far get delivery included.

I’ve decided not to compete with the Facebook marketplace guys around here, so my clientele is the recreational burner. I sell 1/4 and 1/3 cords, cut and split smaller and deliver in a 5x8 little dump trailer. I can charge close to double because of the custom sizing👍

You explained the exact reason as to why I don’t sell in bulk, lol. I sell bundles and 1/4 cords only. I had no desire to stack wood when I started selling. It is all split small, and advertised as recreational firewood. People do buy to heat their homes with,…but they have to pay the premium for. To answer your question,…I honestly don’t believe that there is a perfect trailer. The perfect trailer is the trailer that you have available to get that particular load delivered. Like you mentioned,…it may require having multiple trailers on hand. Then you have to consider where the customer wants the wood stacked 😁. I don’t mind stacking a 1/4 cord, as it doesn’t take long to do. A cord, or multiple cords is a whole other deal, 😂!! Even if paid for it, I still don’t like it.

Sounds like you answered your own question. 98% of your orders are cord and a half. Sounds like you have the perfect trailer. Enjoy your thought process. Hope you find the answers . I run a 6'x10' deck over with 3' sides. Works for me. Not for everyone.

Increase the height of your sides to fit 2 loose cord. A 12x7ft will need 4-1/2ft tall sides.

I don't sell firewood personally, but there's a few contractors in the area ( Western Cape Breton) that do. They're all running single axle dump trucks for blocked and split and delivering 8ft lengths with tandem axle pulp trucks. There's a few guys here that still deliver 1/2 cord loads with pickups because trailers are too hard to get into most yards.

I used to have a 3 ton top kick gmc pre emission with a 16 ft dump body with 2x6 side racks and I could have 3 cord full to top with only the back tear piled in an the rest loose or a could do the 1 cord loads or 2 cord loads it was cheap to run . I would go with a 16 ft 5 wheel dump trailer myself It hauls easier being fifth wheel an once you learn how to back it up it will go any where just my thoughts 💭.cheers

You have a conveyor…what about a dump truck?

What is the part number of your new gland cap?

Money Pit indeed. I hear ya!

That was one really nicely done video. You captured just like a TV show. Well done.

I'm going to quit my job and come work for you!

Nice video got to like from stump to mill one stop

Nice skidder sounds like a Detroit

Any word on meeting in Liverpool on a mill, Sept 11?

I think I can still run levers in my sleep.

I see plenty of good wood in that big ol' pile of reject logs. A vertical splitter would sort through that pretty quick. I agree with you on levers, the less electronics the better.

Sharp looking truck

Yes, get the best use of the product.

AH THE LICENCE PLATE I LOVE IT!! That’s awesome looks great 🔥🪓🪵

This KZbin thing must be starting to pay off! 😉 Nice looking truck! Now I’ll never recognize you on the road..

Cutter done a real nice Job!

Glad to have found your channel, lots of good info for someone trying to manage a woodlot in NS. We used to do something similar but with a tractor and power trailer. Only real difference is we'd pile the wood off to the sides of the trail so could get the trailer between the piles (we were loading by hand). We switched to using a yarding winch a couple decades ago. Leaving the trees full length and with 100 ft cable we don't need as many trails, don't have to move as much brush, and can reach trees in places that would be difficult to drive into. I'll have to look for a set of those log tongs, they look a safer than carrying a pulp hook around.

Good video very helpful

I ended up here after searching for Keto 150. Watched the whole thing - good video hits on market reality. Timber (pulp aka chip here in the UK) like that is in very high demand here in the UK - firewood market is very strong. Clean straight 4"-18" diameter processor roundwood - can't get enough of it.
