Thanks for sharing. I like this type of video much more than a glorified infomercial pimping something that was given to them. You channel is real! I hope you don’t change when your subscriber count gets huge! Ohio Hilltops rocks!

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thank you Bob! I sure appreciate the kind words, I have all intentions of keeping them just like this :D I like to switch things up a bit, it makes for a lot more fun. Thanks again, take care!

I really enjoy looking back at these comments! I sure appreciate the support :) I had actually used that phrase in my latest video 🤠 it’s something I pride about my channel it trying to show how I get things done around the place!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Hahaha!!! That was totally awesome 👍 that little thing kicked butt😁.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Haha thanks Hank! It sure was a little challenging, but we had a blast with it! It really surprised us with those logs :D take care buddy!!

[@ianstoyan]

Thank you for inspiring me to fit Super Lug tyres to my John Deere LT166. I'm going to ballast then tomorrow with 5 gallons of RV abducted in each tyre. I have mounted a 56lb iron weight above the frame rails beneath the seat. I hope that I'll have enough traction to pull 1,000lb loads of wood this autumn and winter!

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

@@ianstoyan that should work great! Thanks for watching

[@mikedill7378]

Nice to see someone else using these for firewood

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thanks Mike! I like to switch things up every now and again ;) seemed to work pretty well, definitely was a convenient way to get a load of wood to the boiler! Take care!

[@hoosierLee]

If your going to use that garden tractor for logging you should get wheel weights and fill the tires with fluid. I use windshield washer fluid because it's cheap and I can do it myself but rimguard/beet juice is best. It makes a huge difference adding 250 lbs to the rear tires for traction and stability.

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

wow. that was a heavy log. Slow going, but got the job done! Good work. Enjoyed the video a lot

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making this video, I appreciate you watching and for the comment! Take care!!

[@thebro5820]

I've been on all kinds of tractor 300 hp plow pulling monsters, to 500lb garden tractors. My most fun sitting in a seat is on a 310-8 wheel horse. You see nothing more than 10-20 horse on a tractor and you don't expect much. My experience says otherwise. They have a lot in them. Throw some R1 AGs on it, add some liquid ballast, and you will be suprised what they can do.

[@merrymanrc]

Aww that little tractor trying so hard to pull those logg. It look so cute when you have two boys in the trailer pulling them around 😊😊😊

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Haha thanks Richard, it sure worked pretty good at hauling firewood! Probably going to start using it more! Take care my friend!

[@bobmusket2990]

@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm Get some mud tires on it it’ll work way better

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

That’s what it needs :) thanks for watching!

[@donlatimer5114]

You need to go to a junkyard and get a car hood and cut a hole in the center of the curved upright to run a chain or a cable through, put the end of the log on the hood to keep the log from digging to the ground , makes pulling the logs around much easier

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Your right Don! That sure would be helpful :) made for a fun day though just seeing what the garden tractor could do! Really impressed me haha, thanks for watching. Take care!

[@deanbarr5740]

That was a fun video Dave. I like those garden tractors. I have Wheel Horse tractors and the last 20 years i collected a dozen or more Gravely Walk behind tractors. Which i just recently got rid of. A coworker came and bought everything i had including a whole big trailer of implements to go with them. Like you, I'd be lost without my 4x4 tractor. They kinda spoil us. Have a great weekend buddy.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Dean Barr glad ya enjoyed it! Those walk behind tractors are neat, there is a lot of attachments for them that’s for sure! I have been looking for an old 2 wheel drive tractor to play with, I’d like a Farmall cub or an A. The 4x4 are great when ya have to work them but for the little jobs I’d like an older small tractor! Time will tell haha, take care buddy!

[@sampasch3381]

The Wheel Horse garden tractors had a limited slip axle to keep one tire or the other from spining. It really helps. Also ag tires and wheight would really help traction too. They have the power its geting it to the ground that's tuff.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

That would be a big help! I had a lot of fun with this project, it is amazing the power it has but your right the limiting factor here was traction :) I plan on looking for a set of bar tread tires. Thanks for watching and commenting, take care!

[@rustyshackelford9156]

Cool. Reminds me of my youth. Hauling logs with the family lawnmower haha. They do work pretty well. Only thing is any hills or mud they can't handle. Nice video.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thank you Rusty! Haha yup it ended up really surprising me with how much I could actually work it! Your right though it sure didn’t like those hills, I think if I had a bar type tire tread it would make a nice difference! Thanks for watching, take care!

[@artszabo1015]

There is a big difference between a garden tractor and a lawn mower.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

The old Power King did good man! This was me before I bought my LS tractor lol.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

It kind of impressed me haha, you can actually get a fair amount done with it! I like hauling wood in the trailer with it, works pretty well! Take care buddy!

[@mrfrank4583]

Had a 1968 Suburban SS 12. 3 speed high/low towed cars home with it back in the day.

[@daveholmes123]

I had a lot of fun, the girls kept it very interesting Lol ! They sure are busy helpers, I think if the power king had a little more weight and a more tire she'd be a real log skidder! Power wise she never grunted, great day D 👍

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

It was a blast! I really didn’t think we would have been able to move those logs :) sure kept it interesting haha. I appreciate the help!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Hey Dave, big Dave and the rest of the family. Man what a rooting section you had there Dave, they were super good and growing too. I see the little one is in training for the log rolling events 👍. Addie is doing great and cheering for you and the little tractor 👍👍. Yes you all had fun today and made it work for you. Thanks for sharing with us, keep up the good work and videos.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thanks Fred! We had put in a lot of wood in with, we are up to seven saw logs now and 5 more loads of wood brought in. We should have enough logs to make the siding for the coop now, I’ll be sure to keep you all updated :) take care my friend!

[@roadglide1142]

Had one of these Power King tractors when I was a kid . Only mine was hydrostatic drive . In low range it was a tank! These tractors were bulletproof with the iron block Kohler Twin cylinder engine!

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

They sure are impressive! I have a blast with mine, still mows nice too :) I appreciate ya watching, take care!

[@teamstucker624]

I kept waiting for Tony's LS MT125 to come give a helping hand but that garden tractor some how pulled through. This was a good video 👍 and it would help steer people to get the sub compact tractor over settling for the garden tractor for small farm work.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thanks, it could have used it haha! It was fun to play around with it, I guess if it was what you had to work with it could do it but a sub compact would of sure been easier work! I appreciate the comment, take care buddy!

[@kennyborek.satsopcityboy..1090]

That is great. I have a craftsman garden tractor with 22.5 Kohler , and a wood lot. I do go threw a belt occasionally. But well worth it

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thanks Kenny, I had a lot of fun with that garden tractor. Sure did impress me! I appreciate ya watching, take care!

[@NorthForkHollow]

You had the power, but lacked traction. Maybe weights for the back? Or ag tires? I haven't had my garden tractor out in awhile. I will have to find some work for it and make a video soon.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thanks for watching! Yes I believe I may buy some v bar type tires, I think that would help along with some weight! I had a blast making this video haha, it really switched things up a bit! I’ll be on the lookout for the video, take care my friend!

[@FromSteelToWood]

Those garden tractor have their use! I use my Bolens HT23 for smaller work and hauling stuff around. But like you shown us, it can haul much more than tools! I am suprised how big the logs you were able to haul in a fairly steep place. Then it can go and turn in very tight places. Would the LS fit between the trees there?

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Your right about that, I had never really gave it a shot at working like that and was glad I did. Made for a convenient way to haul firewood without tearing up my yard to much! And the LS wouldn’t be able to get in there yet but I do plan to make a road through there! Take care my friend!

[@DonaldRak-ku6bi]

Hi from Don, try taking black stove pipe, or strong tuff sheet metal make bullet nose cone for front log it got be 12-15" long, then put rope through nose cone and pull it without digging resistance in dirt/mudd, makes it slide 🛝

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Hey Don, thanks for the comment and recommendation. I'll have to give that a try sometime! This was a fun video to make and im glad it is still getting watched. Take care!

[@Living-The-Dream]

[@bb1040]

I use my 2008 Chevy Trailblazer and lots of cable, 4X4 low and they come right up. LOL Just pull them up where I can back the trailer in and slice them up in 16" pieces for firewood, then haul the pieces over to the splitter to finish the job.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

That sounds like a good setup! Always fun dragging and skidding logs :) thanks for watching, take care!

WOW DAVE you must be boared today 😆 .Beating that littel Garden tractor ..I'm sure you had fun ..& also lots of money .because that littel tractor is Going to blow a ROD...

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Haha ah man that thing is a tank :) it would of done a lot better with a little more traction, it’s built heavy I’m sure it wasn’t even pushing its limits. I bet it would of been a lot tougher on it if it would have gotten more traction but ahh, it survived haha. Thanks for watching buddy, take care!

[@sampasch3381]

It will either hit the hydro releif valve or stall out before it breaks Something in the motor.

[@branchan6307]

The stihl sharpening tool works better and quicker

[@daviddeaton4250]

When you have one stuck if you place a small round of firewood under the front of the log , it will usually start to roll enough for you to get the log to start rolling.. where’s the LS? Thanks for sharing

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

That’s a good idea, I’ll have to try it next time! The LS is just in the barn waiting for some work haha. I figured I’d play around on the little tractors for a bit, had a lot of fun doing it! I appreciate ya watching and for the tip, take care buddy!

[@jimseem1192]

Bar type tires and wheel weights will help greatly to stop slipping 🙂

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thanks Jim! This spring I am going to get some new tires on it :) I appreciate ya watching and for the tips. Take care!

[@bmold58]

Try taking the rear tires off and breaking down the bead on one side. Fill the tire with winter blend windshield washer fluid about 7 gallon air up the rest. This will add about 50 pounds per tire. I did this and you will not believe how it helps your traction.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Thank you! I’ll have to do that, it’s got plenty of power if it only had a little more traction :) I appreciate you watching and commenting, take care!

[@63italic]

which size of engine is it? Thanks

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

That is an 18hp, it sure is powerful. I wish I could get better traction it would be a lot more fun :) thanks for watching!

[@mr.astrophysics9115]

Great use of PPE with the chainsaw. Didn't even apply the break when walking around with it. Remember novices watch these videos too. You should set an example.

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

I appreciate the feedback Jon, but unfortunately I don’t have the funding or the desire to purchase all of the PPE. If a person who watches grew up with this lifestyle would know exactly what I mean. Also I try my best to do things safely and I’m not sure when I didn’t use the brake unless I was just taking a step to cut another piece of wood! This channel is about our lifestyle and how we do things, I’m not trying to convince anyone to do things like me :) thanks again, take care!

@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm when the Rope was dragging behind it appeared the lock was on top of it. Such abuse of the rope was probably not your common practice. It would not have cost much more to fix the rope better. Nylon rope is very high quality and very stretchy.
