264 Firewood Frenzy with 74 HP Massey

It's still firewood season and demand is good. I'm hoping to sell some of this standing dead wood in the next few weeks. The tractor is a Massey Ferguson 2607H.

You were making things happen in this video. Looked like a productive day.

[@FabbedFun]

It would have been nice to strike oil, but I'll take the firewood as long as the weather holds. Thanks for watching!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

You got some really great shots in this video. Looked like a fun day in the woods. But then again, any day on that awesome Massey tractor is a great day.

[@FabbedFun]

Some people like to go places and spend money on things. I'm completely happy on the Massey in the woods. It's a beautiful, peaceful place!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Full watch and a thumbs up 👍🏻

[@FabbedFun]

Waiting for your next video, sir!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The Massey makes a great firewood tractor. It looks like you made great progress

[@FabbedFun]

It's hard to be creative when I'm just routinely gathering firewood, but I try to have fun. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@JustCaidsDayFarm]

That Massey move that stuff around like it was twigs! That really is a nice tractor! That was a really fun video! Nice work Logan!

[@FabbedFun]

I'm trying to find ways to make video (and hopefully decent video) while doing the routine work of gathering firewood. It's so repetitive but it's how I spend a lot of my free time. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@JustCaidsDayFarm]

@@FabbedFun you did a nice job

[@TryNewThings]

I have to agree with GardenTractorBoy... the Massey does make a great firewood tractor. I'm sitting here (at work) watching you pull a tree, up a hill, with a box full of weight on the back, and nothing on the front for weight but an empty grapple and a go-pro.... I drove up my hill this weekend, granted the grass was a little wet, with the backhoe on, not towing anything and I lost all ability to steer. Ended up throwing a couple big rocks in the bucket and that did the trick.

[@FabbedFun]

She does get light in the front end headed up a steep hill with a full carry-all and a green oak log in tow behind. Steering is gone without some front ballast at that point. I'm interested in seeing how much the RK25 can pull on level ground. That thing seems to be a real beast for the size.

[@TryNewThings]

@@FabbedFun I'll have to borrow a log... Wish I had more (non-cedar) trees.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Evening Sir, that is a big tree 😮 Their is a Gost Ford Truck hiding behind you in the forest ( 50 feet behing ) 🥴🥴 Now that is a step tractor climb 😮 Nice music 🎵👍😇 Ouff that a lots of falling limbs 🥴 You tractor Sir is sooooo strong 👌👍😇💪 Keep up YOUR OUTSTANDING Work Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

[@FabbedFun]

That's my great uncle's 77 Ford F150 Ranger XLT with a 351M if I remember right. It hasn't been on the road since about 2005...

[@FabbedFun]

Some ghost trees too! Hahaha. Thanks for watching, Sir!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello Logan, some great firewood there, Take Care 🚜👍🏼🪵🇺🇸

[@FabbedFun]

Hey! Thanks! My equipment is pretty boring compared to your professional setup, but I make it work. Thanks for watching!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

@@FabbedFun Logan, save spend wise, pay your home off by 62 , Thats what i did. At your age the only tractor was an old ford 2000 gas 4 speed🚜👍🏼🪵🇺🇸

[@FabbedFun]

@@outdoorswithlarryrobin I'm 39, knocking on 60. Especially after a long day cutting wood haha. I hope I'm still a walking workhorse at 62... but yes, I try to be responsible financially. I'd love to get a mini excavator, but it won't be in the cards anytime soon if I'm still being responsible haha

[@MannistoCay]

Wow look out for those Chicos! hardhat might not be enough if one of them gets a hold of you. Stay safe bud!

[@FabbedFun]

Looking like tomahawk missiles falling from the sky when a tree bumps another tree. Thanks for watching!

Logan, Hello from NorKal. I really dig your vids and wholesome approach to this channel. I have a TYM 254. Its a subkompakt with 3rd funktion. I recently built a SSQA mounted inverted splitter for all those rounds I'm not willing to hurt my bakk lifting by hand. It works great and I saved alot building it myself versus buying one premade. I've recently aquired a hydraulik Mile Marker winch. My next projekt will be konverting that hydraulik motor into a light duty hydraulik earth auger. The splitter was 500$ to build with skavenged parts and some welding. Normally they sell for about 2500$+ The augers start at about 2000$ I'm aiming to invest 500$ or less. But I've had a handful of nay sayers. I figure even if I'm limited to 8" post holes, I'm still doing better than digging by hand. I guess I'll find out. Anyways i watched your grapple build and i really appreciate your energy. I think you would enjoy building an inverted splitter from skratch. As a tool it is just awesome. But you would also get alot of views to go with. Anyways, happy days man. Happy holidays and all that. Salute, from Kommiforniastan. USA ;)

[@FabbedFun]

Hail, Comrade! I'm sure it's hard to do a lot of fabrication when your state makes everyone goose-step in formation three times a day, but the socialist marches at least get everyone exercise haha. I appreciate you watching and commenting... will you post video of your build?

[@loggerjohn01]

Hey Logan, great video! Your Massey is a real work horse. But I guess all Masseys are right? You got some nice wood out of that area. Thanks for sharing

[@FabbedFun]

I think it's all been dead long enough it should be ready to burn this season. Thanks for watching!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Steep hills heavy load are no problems for your big Massey. Were those dead trees mostly Ash? Have a great week Logan 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂👍🏻

[@FabbedFun]

I think a few of them were ash, and I dropped at least one (possibly off camera) that I think was maple. A BX could have pulled it all if it was cut a little shorter. Thanks for watching!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

You didn’t yell “Timber” nearly loud enough Logan. You have to really sound off and scare the tree.

[@FabbedFun]

I think they were already scared. I was really kicking ash and taking names...

[@BuildALotAcres]

Great job Logan! The big Massey made easy work of those logs. How many acres do you have?

[@FabbedFun]

About 21, half yard/field, half wooded. Mostly hillsides with an elevation change of over 175 feet according to Google Earth...

[@ooglepeepers]

I enjoyed our video. I have a MF 2606H and would like to space my tires out to a wider setting similar to your 2607H. I have done this many times with other tractors, but the rear tires on this tractor are loaded with liquid ballast which I have never dealt with before. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle tires that weigh over a quarter ton?

[@FabbedFun]

I've been considering moving mine out just a few inches farther so I can add some custom wheel weights I got from Ben Kennedy at K&H Tractors. He recommended I NOT try it alone. I think the ballast alone is 741 lbs of Rim Guard, so you're talking probably close to 1000 lbs with wheel and tire together? I may wait until I have a buddy with a loader tractor nearby to help.

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

Stack them up.

[@FabbedFun]

I hope to keep stacking dead wood to sell when I have time to split it. Thanks for watching!

[@dustybowhunter]

Are your rims set to the widest setting? And how often do you use 4wd?

[@FabbedFun]

With all the hillside around here, if I'm not in gravel or on pavement, I typically put it in 4wd so I have better braking. I believe my wheels have two settings to go wider. I saw a picture of a 2607H at max width and I think it may have been over 8 feet. I'm right around 83" wide at the sidewall bulge if I remember right. Thanks for watching!

[@KillingItCountry]

I’ve just noticed that I’ve been unsubscribed from your channel … a few other channels as well. I wonder why that is? Anyway I’ve re-subscribed 🤷‍♂️

[@FabbedFun]

With the exchange rate, I believe Canadians have to subscribe twice!
