I love watching you work. You give life to my disabled and broken body. We are about the same age, and fear was not in my thoughts. I fell 6 years ago from a standing position it was over for me. Seeing your deer stand reminded me of my climbing stand, I would go 30 feet up and from stupidity never used a safety harness. I now would love to Just walk with out a walker. Haters that I see give the thumbs down are miserable and the joy of living is not in them. Love your family and am just a long distant friend. Not as cold in Arkansas, but cool and rain. Say high to Hunter and the family. God bless.

You will be amazed at what the wood will look like when you open that log Mr. Morgan it has beautiful lines.

I bought a Wallenstein FX90 Winch 11 years ago for use on our tree farm to pull out wood on steep slopes. It's the most used attachment - well worth the investment.

Great winch! Liked your reminder about safety. Must be tricky on those trails with snow. I broke my leg walking down a hill to my tractor , lay in the snow 50 yds from my house for 20 minutes until someone saw me. Learned never to go out in the yard or woods without my cellphone.

[@henryrodgers3409]

The older you get the wiser you get . Looking back at some of the things I did when I was younger I'm thinking my goodness was I that stupid . LOL . Oh it's a red elm by the way . Amazing how you guys know what kind of trees they are . To me they all look the same . Red oak , white oak , cherry , maple .... it's a tree . I would have to carry a book around with me in the bush to identify what kinds of trees they are . Even the spruce trees . A cherry tree to me is something that I grow in my yard for sweet cherries to eat . LOL . Yes it certainly was a beautiful day yesterday . Took a run States side to pick-up a few packages that I ordered and fill up my tank with cheap diesel fuel . Saved quite a bit of money considering diesel is $1.20 a liter over here . Tank was getting low and I wanted to fill up with winter diesel . Today ... snowing and rain at times . Good day to do some laundry and some house cleaning . Fun times . LOL

Mike - From the retired Lutheran Pastor in Davenport , IA, again. Learned more again today - Thanks for sharing. I appreciated the thought from one guy who said, "You don't get old being stupid." Great thought. I did some things as a young man that also makes me amazed some days I've lived as long as I have. At that age there is a thought that perhaps we suffer from testosterone poisoning. As you say, "Have a day."

[@mikeamon7866]

Mike and family, love your channel and what you do. Thank you for recommending Buckins' chanel. Just wonderful. I noticed on one of your videos when you used your moisture meter. It looked like you took off the rubber tips on the probes. From my understanding when you do that it takes in readings from the environment instead from the wood directly. I'm from rural MN and I also have a son with autism. Love to Stanley and peace for your family. God bless always.

[@philgriswold2133]

I'm glad you went back to talk about your old, hand-made deer stand. I noticed it in the background at about 12:36 and couldn't help but compare it to your new mini-cabin. That comparision is actually a good analogy with how far you have come in the development of your property. I think that many of us that are blessed enough to survive our youth look back and shake our heads a little.

[@danmech123]

Good morning Morgans. Beautiful day indeed. Couple things that may help those tough ones that have snags in the way; - Try choking the logs much closer to the ends, roughly a foot in. - Cut a "V" on the end to eliminate those square corners that catch on everything. That's just my recipe to get over the granite knobs sticking out of the ground everywhere and I have no where near the winching power you now have. Love your setup and love the amount of time you get to spend in the woods!

[@carterjames5385]

Hey Mike, and family, I have a Igland 4001 winch and a snatch block, though not self releasing, and have used it a ton to pull all kinds and sizes of trees with my DK-40 Kioti tractor. I like your RK tractors, and Wallenstein winch- they make good equipment too. I have a Igland Log Grapple, a model GR-20 which is excellent for logging. Their is a similar grapple made called a 'Frostbite' which is virtually identical, but it sports brass bushings where the key pivot points are, unlike my Igland grapple. You're new to a winch so I want to steer you to some additional safety considerations. First, I don't know what RPMs you're running your RK at when winching but I would consider lowering the RPM's to closer to idle, unless you find it bogging and then raise it according to the load. Second, stand on the left rear when using the rope to pull the load to the backboard. If you note the clockwise PTO rotation, you don't ever want to be standing where the PTO shaft could head toward you if some part of it breaks! Not likely to happen, but you don't ever want to be where it could take you out! Here is a video from a guy who has been doing this for 25+ years. It shows tips and tricks to incorporate into your routine. E.R. Long :'Tractor logging' 16:03, on KZbin. It, among others gives one some tips to use withOUT having to reinvent the 'wheel' Anyway, stay safe, and keep the vids coming.

[@davedowding5883]

Appreciate your sharing your harvest plans for this site as a landing. I can see how much value is brought with the skid. The red elm looks like a beauty for sawing. The area that this one came from is loaded with firewood. Thank you for sharing this. What beautiful vistas here. Looks like there’s lots to bring out of here. Y’all have a Day!

[@davidwestervelt6050]

The skidder is pretty awsum. Do they recomend greasing the cable on it? I just wondered what they recommend for maintenance on it. Besides the general lubrication. I would think you would be able to pull more with the wench also. I like that it is made to work well with very little impact on the land and trees. The only real issues is keeping things anchored up top to handle the load. The nice thing is with one pull you can get the tops and logs. Also alot safer than skidding with chains and tractor on a hill. We also seem to get safer as we get older. I didn t always like working by myself in the woods. Things can go wrong too quickly. Keep up the great work. Thank for sharing all that you do.

How you going Mike/Melissa, greetings from Australia been watching a number of your videos over the past weeks and I like what I see, a man who obviously loves his family enjoys working on the property with his wife going about his business and loving it. I watch your videos and can relate to all of them I am about 12 years up on you but have done most things you are doing for my adult life and there is no doubt there's a quiet satisfaction in a job well done. You are a very competent presenter who thinks through what and how he does what he does but you have probably been instrumental in saving many people from serious injury or worse who have viewed your work and taken a second thought. I wish you and you family a safe Christmas and look forward to watching your ongoing videos around the property take care.

Nice video! This is a nice machine! It is a pretty big log to! Maby you should buy you a winch log skidding cone to prevent the log digging in the grond. Have a good weekend! Regards!

[@lindnova]

We have a little red elm here and a lot of american elm that only grows so big and dies. Southeast Minnesota has similar trees as you. I sawed up some american elm with my alaskan mill and it was beautiful wood. It does like to 'move' a lot and is not real stable. I had a lot of cracks and weird twists despite stickering up with weight on top - under a roof, but in open for 2 1/2 years. I cut mine 2" thick and planed down to 1 1/2" flat boards.

[@pierrelarocque3214]

Nice work Mike. Great move to put the tractor back on flat ground for the last pull. At the risk of repeating myself, life would have been much easier with a skid (skidding) cone. The whole log would have floated over these initial snags.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

I hate it when a good piece of firewood stock turns into a lumber. But what can you do? 🤷🏼‍♂️. Love the winch and can’t wait to see what you can do on the mill with this one. Hey Hunter! ✋🏻👴🏻

[@spadelugs]

Mike ,You need a nose cone to put over the end of the log In small winch applications they work great and let log ride up and over obstacles and keeps it from plowing. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s tough to lose a K9 buddy.

[@DanKlein_1]

Elm is miserable. stringy and fibrous. The roots are like steel cables. we tried to push them over to clear them from a fence row and had to practically dig them out to make the roots finally let go enough to get the thing pushed over. I wonder if it will be like shag bark hickory when you saw for lumber. can't take too much off one side while cutting or it will curl on you. Thanks for sharing. love the skidder.

[@gregnewlin1074]

I think back on my younger days and think to myself. In my late teens and into my early thirties I used to bounce and not break. From my mid 30s to late 40s I would just thud and hurt for a day or two. Now well into my mid 50s I try to avoid going thud because there will be breakage involved. Safety now is at the forefront of activity’s.

Mike,if you have never put a red elm on your woodmizer you are in for an unexpected treat. Turns out to be a clear beautiful wood. I woodwork in the the winter months and built two DVD cabinets out of my first experience in milling red elm. Again you will be amazed at a wood everyone thinks is junk.

[@waynebusse6376]

Covered bridges were made of red elm, strong fibers and bug and rot resistant. Thanks for spending all the time with the camera work.

[@maxhole2]

Those tractor winches are an incredible value and extremely versatile. We’ve had a Fransgard V4000 for years and still use it for selective harvesting high value timber when a small footprint is desired in the forest. And even though the top was blown on that elm, always look up when felling. Stuff happens. Really enjoy your videos.

[@lamarr1986]

Elm can make some lovely looking saw wood! it's also one hell of a b**** to split by hand for firewood as it's so dense/knotty. Probably why it hung on by such a small amount of hinge wood when you were felling it. Well that plus no canopy of course! I'd like to see this milled!

[@dougbower9479]

Mike, I would do everything I could do to protect the wire rope of the winch. I would not use it to wrap around the log and pull with it, I would use a choker chain or sacrificial cable before I would use the cable from the winch. That winch cable cost a ton of money to replace.

[@evankibbe590]

Mike i don't know if you thought about this . But I would of cleand the tops up and drug them up and out of the way before I cut that tree . It might of mabe it easier . When I was a kid red elm was the fire wood of choice. And it makes really nice lumber to. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍hope y'all are having a great day.

[@lynettehawkins1747]

Red elm was my dad’s preferred wood when making double trees and single trees. After it dried, it had a high strength/weight ratio. It was scarce on the farm in Missouri so he preserved it when he could.

[@stephenrhodesianridgeback7418]

That elm will be nice cut on the bandsaw . The metal cones for the cable work nice for what you where just doing . 👍

[@noc8076]

Try hooking the choker closer to the end of the log and it won't snag as much. Have the winch line run from the top pulley when pulling to the rear. The winch will sink in and grab the ground better, and there is no way you will flip the tractor over backward before the winch stalls out. The lower pulley is for side and difficult pulls. Remember, you want to lift the front of the log.

[@barryespeseth7355]

In the 80s and 90s I had tree stands exactly like you showed. Like you and after falling 20' I use attached steel tree stands. Getting older definatly gets you smarter.

[@tommyordoyne7461]

[@firewoodtherapy5749]

I think might help you more with skidding. Portable Winch - PCA-1290 - Skidding Cone for Logs

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

I'm curious why you weren't using the choke chain and why you were attaching so far back on the log. Most videos about this kind of logging show the folks hooking up much closer to the end of the log. I also agree with commenter "portedadrien" in that a "skidding cone" would be of great help in getting you log up the hill without it getting caught on things or digging in. Do a Google search for it, the thing gets great ratings.

If your planning to use thar area to stockpile, it's a good idea to use cutoffs to support the log it will make hauling them in after snow and freeze up easier to get your chains around.

Do you have many red elms in Pennsylvania? Here in S.E. Iowa red and white elms used to be prolific. Unfortunately, in the 60's and 70's they were ravaged by dutch elm disease. Most all of them were lost. Red elm makes beautiful lumber. We used to call it poor man's walnut. I have a carpenter buddy who build all of his kitchen cabinets out of red elm. They were gorgeous.

[@johnmyers8488]

Winching with a tractor is an art. Your doing real good. Only thing that I would have done differently is I would have took the cable out of the bottom shive. Pulling from the top pulley gives more lift on the log and I find it puts more weight on the skidding shoe on the ground. Winches are game changers for sure. 👍👍 the trees are ah trembling when Mike rolls in the woods now

[@jimarsenault6558]

great video just a little suggestion you would have better luck pulling your trees if you hooked up closer to the end of the tree this is how we hook them on the skidder about a foot in on the butt

[@alkaufmann2039]

Hello again Mike....yes that elm looks pretty dense and heavy. Probably loaded with moisture. I was wondering if you put your moisture meter on it what would it register? Probably more than usual since it was an open top soaking in all that rain water.

[@craigmooring2091]

See all the downed trees and branches in these videos, I have come to the conclusion a lot will "go to waste" because you've got more of it than you can shake a stick at. On the other hand, you've got plenty of sticks to shake at them if you want to try! 😃👍

How do you operate the winch? Is there a throttle like valve? Sometimes it looks like you're pulling on a rope. Thanks. 🦀

[@frankcadillac9151]

Elm is a very strong tough wood thats why its so hard to split. Remember the old wood bed pickups, most were elm.

[@waltertadla7193]

I can suggest for you a curved skid plate where you can set the top of the log being pulled to ride over obstacles. I personally use an old auto hood and it works great, plus the log doesn`t get dirt embedded in it. Very cool winch though.

[@jamesdearinger3674]

In our neck of the woods that’s called Slippery Elm. It looks beautiful. That will make some nice lumber.
