Clearing Dangerous Trees from Behind the New Shop! ~ Part 6 ~ Rebuilding of "The Salvage Cave"

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Really taking shape. Next time instead of using the bucket on the skid steer, try using the forks. They will pick up those logs much easier and with less dirt. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@Bill-xc8le]

How about the back story on how you acquired the building Matt? At first it was your friends, and you were helping him fix it up. Did you buy the place or lease it from him, if so why did your friend decide to let it go?

[@Mr.Innovator961]

Since you’ve evidently already have part 2 done, I would have suggested putting (2) concrete catch basins about 100 ft apart along the bottom of the hillside perimeter, that way you can control the water. It’s possible that’s an underground spring where your A-6 got stuck, but more likely runoff from the upper property in either case this is where the catch basins would shine. As far as that lone slab goes could you use it in front of one of your man door exits- keeps the shop floor clean too.

[@rsprockets7846]

they let u do open burns?

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

02:54 I'm reminded of that cartoon where I guy is poking something with a stick, saying, "C'mon...do something..."

[@kiesh.]

Enjoy your vids but there's something about how you work that i constantly feel like an accident is waiting to happen 😬 I'm sure it's just confidence from experience on your part?

[@kltpep]

It's like a Star Wars movies, you never know when one will come out.

[@bobadam7021]

Chris over at No Nonsense Know How needs your help rescuing a CAT 977. It needs a lot of work and he's looking for other KZbinrs to collaborate.

[@mchl8]

I could do that somwat considering remotely

[@ricklarouche4105]

I do 50-1 as Stihl recommends, using full synthetic 2 cycle oil and also use high test gas (alcohol free) l do add a fuel stabilizer as well.. so far so good.. worthwhile project you have going..

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Well that looked like a heap of fun...*

[@raytalbot5890]

Talk about wasting fuel with the skid steer.. you could have loaded by had 3x as fast… 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏

[@notajp]

Like watching a monkey f*cking a football………

[@D3nn.s]

You should buy the beak attachment for the skid steer it would make your life easier and the job was faster done. Keep going with al the rescuing I love you're channel.

[@kentland7138]

priceless, funniest think yet, you guys even wore funny hats

[@adamnapolitano432]

Damn that's some cleanup.

[@bluebellbus70]

Did you get that old Ghel skid steer running? Is that the one I saw in this video? Do you think we'll ever see a complete revival of that?

[@williambryant5946]

[@kayneahnung3661]

I was about to ask the very same question - @Salvage Workshop: is it the old skid steer you worked on a few videos back?

[@willybeeish]

Oh Matt - plan your work so you only have to handle stuff once. If you had driven the white truck round the back, cut up the logs to length, load the truck by hand; you would not have chewed up the lot, you would have proper length firewood, you would have saved using diesel in the machines and had a safe level load to take home. Phew! I'm off for a beer!

[@williamburrows2755]

@TEXT+①(⑦⑥⑤) ③⑥⓪-⑨⑤①⑨ Hi - thanks for the message, really appreciated. I'm in the UK so stuff may be difficult to complete. If it's a giveaway make someone you know happy and give them a Christmas present from me. All the best Bill B

[@jeffselchow5719]

Since 1884 I have been using 100LL AvGas or I have a station near me that has Sunoco 110, then Golden Spectro @ 50:1. This combo has been very good to me and my equipment.

[@kahutochishisumi9056]

Everything you do is interesting

[@markparker2873]

Great video and thank you for keeping us up to date on the happenings at the Salvage Cave! 🙂

[@larrywhitaker4667]

Great to see you again. Keep the videos coming

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Will do Larry! Thanks for following along!

[@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc]

Love it mate feels like forever since the last vid Matt 🤗

[@theorogers8415]

I love your videos! I love to watch you put stuff together!! Keep up the awesome work! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@dansbrown1313]

Interesting process, all you had to do is ask your friend what length of firewood he used and then you could have both cut all the wood in your lot to the correct length and it would have loaded into your truck with no issues. Oh well.

[@PeterWMeek]

You could use a set of grapple forks for that skid-steer.

[@Ivc406]

,Matt,well done on the clearance but the natural drainage has all been taken away with the removal of the trees, you're friend will soon get the hang of these with you're help and plenty of practice,we all had to learn take care regards 🌳🌳🌳🚜

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Awesome progress, love the chain saw skills loosing some trees will definitely help this place out in the long run!!

[@jobcacka1330]

I have used Lucas, Royal Purple, and Amsoil. I like the purple one because it is easy to see the difference. I also mix 50:1 for a Stihl and Echo and 40:1 for an older Craftsman that says to use it.

[@williamhague2768]

Nice hot no smoke fire! Well done

[@Jombi1950]

I love watching you figure things out. I have learned a lot. Keep up the good work!

[@rudigerhasselmann3601]

I wish you and your family, and of course all subscribers, a happy and reflective holiday season. Kind regards from Germany.

[@johnlenoir1023]

Sweet diagnosed job looks like you're going to have plenty of room back there that'll be great love the video

[@davidmunro5577]

Handling cut logs is always far easier and quicker by hand. I had long years of practice in doing just that! Machinery is always too awkward for speed. Glad to see you partly adopted that method in the end although you do like to use the 5625 and you don't give up easily!

[@MrGordy61]

That and it is going to be hard on chains cutting the rest of that muddy wood to size.

[@jjohnson2553]

@@MrGordy61 That's one part that most people won't realize until it's too late and they are spending way too much time sharpening.

[@robertlong9029]

You could’ve made about $5000 of that black walnut you cut up in little pieces

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Not a chance of that happening!!! It was rotten throughout the entire core!

[@jackacuff5851]

I would have back the truck in there and saved some time, just saying. But now you have some more room to go treasure hunting.Good Job!

[@handyhippie6548]

non-ethanol fuel can be found around lakes where they sell boat gas. i just use straight 30wt. non detergent oil in my premix, unless i find two stroke oil on sale. been using it since i ran my yammers 80 dirtbike around the farm as a kid in the 70's and 80's. it was what my dad used in his chainsaws, so that's what we had. i still have and run my dad's poulan 3400 counter vibe saw on occasion, and it still runs strong after over 40 years of cutting firewood without an overhaul. my stihl saws don't seem to mind it either. you just have to mix it at the ratio the mfgr. specifies.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Interesting, never heard of anyone running straight 30wt... definetly a pretty cheap option! I like the tip about finding boat fueling locations, ill have to look into that! Thanks!

[@videodistro]

Boat and airplanes. Check out small airports, too.

[@davebrittain9216]

Holy cow you are dangerous with a chain saw. Don't get yourself hurt!

[@RustyNail5856]

looking good . can't wait for the next video.

[@jamescole1786]

11/17/22. Good job removing overgrown woods & trees behind yur shop. But somehow you need to find a grapple for yur SkidSteer!...or grapple for that AC 645! Stay safe & carry on!💪⚙️👍👍👍😊

[@maxgoldstein6067]

I like the Kawasaki 2 stroke oil. Never had any issues

[@soundguy10]

Keep in mind that those bigger trees were absorbing and transpirating up to 150 gallons of water per day, depending on size and species. You are now going to have to manage a few thousand gallons a day that was not previously running out of the hillside. I've had similar problems removing just a couple large trees. Crushed rock and drainage systems will take care of it.

[@chiligrease]

18:49 I don't know how you managed to stay standing as long as you did, I'd be on my butt 24/7 walking around in that mess!

[@joeljerde8059]

I’ve run Opti 2 for almost 20 years and never have had a problem with anything. I swear by it!

[@Bris650]

In northern Michigan we run non ethanol or Recreational fuel in ALL small engines. Nearly all gas stations have Rec. fuel.

[@stereolababy]

with all the stihl equipment you said you have why no top handle trim saw? doing the limbs with a 20 inch bar is no fun

[@barryedwards1336]

You need a grapple attachment for the skid steer to handle logs, trunks and branches, otherwise its all hand work.

[@dancurfman4759]

i run a good full synthetic oil the old snowmobile racers said when synthetic came out it changed everything their engines ran way longer on it . i have ran polaris full synthetic two stroke oil for 20 years with no problems

[@yescavol1637]

I find my ethanol free gas at the stations near the lake where folks fill their boats up. I always use the Sthil oil in the small bottles and have never had a problem.

[@inspector8572]

I like Mercury outboard marine 2-stroke oil for all my 2 stroke needs. It’s not expensive and has a tried and true long track record for performance and stability. I also only use 100% pure gasoline in all of my engines including cars, trucks, motorcycles. The gains in HP and MPG plus stability in my vehicles and equipment far outweighs the increase in price. I mix a 40-1 instead of 50-1 ratio in my still because your right a little bit richer = more lubricant to the engine. Great Work Love your Energy!

[@tuffram2165]

Matt such a great video as always. I was wondering if you could help me with some of the music in this video? I'm trying to find the song you are playing during time laps of cutting up the trees on the ground right before you start talking about the drainage issue in the back area? Your videos, in conjunction with the music, really take your content to the next level imo. If possible, start putting the names of the songs in text on the video before the music starts so we can better find the songs.

[@Dysiode]

So glad the good wood is being used! I hate seeing nice trees just get pile burned

[@ludwigvanmulders1730]

maybe an idea is to place the truck next to the heap of wood ;-) anyhow.... always nice to see your vids. Thanks for sharing.

[@artshaw6962]

That concrete pad you want to remove would make a great pad for a meat smoker. A man cave needs a barbeque spot and a beer fridge!

[@Polarbear44]

My dad and uncle were dropping trees one time. And they would set out pop cans were they wanted to drop them, to see who could crush them.

[@kaydog2008]

Try Amsoil 2-cycle oil. The best hand down. It keeps engines much cooler and doesn't burn up as easily, freeze or emulsifies......Period. It stay's microscopically stuck to all kinds of metals even in cold or sitting for long periods.

[@austinhughes1924]

That looks a lot better.Now that it’s all cleaned up now.

[@0_O_0001]

Ethanol free is the way to go. Luckily I know of at least 3 gas stations in my area that sell 100% ethanol free gas at the pumps.

[@typrus6377]

Fortunately there are 3 in a 10 milr radius of me as well- all popped up in the last 3 years

[@KoltFin]

Have you ever check the amount you are buying? Every time I have got it I've been short according to 2 different 5.5 gallon jugs.

[@burninpwder76]

As a chainsaw mechanic my choice is echo red armor oil. I have had issues with stihl oil clogging things up and leaving deposits. I collect and run antique saws also. oldest saw was made in 1954 newest ones are computer controlled. I run the red armor in everything with E free fuel

[@Falney]

If you put water into the ethanol fuel, shake it up, the ethanol binds with the water and settles out. Then just syphon off the gasoline off the water-ethanol mix and bam. Ethanol free gas.

[@kristofferr5928]

I only use alkylate gasoline in small engines, expensive but worth it.

[@davidrobinson7667]

~Rock~N~Roll~ Kudos from Western Pennsylvania.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mountainman1961]

I run opti also!! Great stuff!!!

[@thomasr.miller5553]

Cheap 2cyl oil with STABIL gas treatment and keeping the chain sharp saves gas and the saw. Want ethanol free gas ? make a flameless still.. Distill the gas at 170 f .

[@thewhitestjamal]

Get 100LL at your local GA airport. Best fuel you can buy. Run Stihl ultra oil at 50 to 1. My father is an arborist and I have never had a problem.

[@oldodger]

That concrete pad is perfect for a storage container. 10X20 feet !

[@zerocontent3171]

That would be a super good place to store all flammable on the property.

[@TommyG_0311]

looks like that tree did the "barber chair"

[@GreyMassey]

I use the Stihl oil only.

[@fredbaumberger8988]

I use Amsoil 100-1 in all my 2 cycle equipment never a problem, my one saw is 43 years old and still runs great only I’ve with it is the oiler

[@waynetrain8033]

I’d say we’re in there pretty good , but I have some ideas 😆looking forward to seeing it

[@markheppell2643]

I use a 30:1 mix. Regular unleaded (91) and a Castrol brand two stroke oil. Works well for me.

[@DDB168]

WOW - cant wait to see you get out of that bog hole !

[@TonyWerner54]

I’ve been using echo red armor at close to 40:1 mix and haven’t had any issues

[@gregsecore9625]

I had a buddy tell me years ago if you want your lawn more weed Wacker's or snowblower motorcycle anything that you don't drive all the time or use all the time, when you are going to store it put some two cycle oil in the gas let it run for a while and you will never have a problem with them starting the next year. It doesn't matter to me what brand or who makes the two cycle oil, I have used just about all the different brands and ever since I was doing this never had a problem with my motorcycle or anything else. I let them run for about 25 minutes and I will put a little extra in so I see some smoke coming out once that happens I put it away and when always I take it out no problem

[@nodaklojack]

I enjoyed the music as much as the action. 🆒

[@terryrogers1025]

I run premium non ethanol fuel mixed with Stihl oil and Sea Foam additive mix and Stihl bar oil, never have issues with the saws or anything else run on the mix, yes it is more cost up front, yes, it’s my way of doing things, not saying it’s the best way or it’s my way or the highway, it just works, but so is down time on the back side of the cheaper fuel and additives, I detest down time, especially if its something I have done to cause it. 🥴😏😉 thanks for the update sir.

[@rsprockets7846]

create a swale with rock and a perf drainage pipe, good luck

[@terrycannon570]

I love the Loader music. Thanks

[@rudycarlson8245]

I use Stihl gas oil mix it’s the only one I will use!I I use it in The chainsaw my string trimmer and my backpack leaf blower

[@kentnothstine]

I agree with the ethanol free gas. I have read to make sure to use oil for air cooled engines for… air cooled engines… due to the rpm’s and temperatures they run. Oil for marine applications has better corrosion protection I believe, but will break down in an air cooled engine. That’s my understanding, not an oil expert. I like your channel keep it up.

[@rosssnyder1989]

Ya need a grapple for that skid loader!

[@legbreaker2762]

I see a lot of winter firewood there...

[@eldonjenkins551]

I have used Stihl oil only and I add 2 to 3 oz of sea foam . I use this in every thing I have and have never had any problems

[@wescox2769]

Pull the trailer around and handle the wood once

[@anthonyhoult152]

Hi Matt, I have large range of Stihl tools that I use for my horticultural business and only ever use the Red 2 stroke Stihl oil and not this new Green Stihl oil. (Not sure if this is available for you over in America I am from the UK) not only myself have noticed a difference but have friends/customers whom have noticed the difference. Love your channel and keep it coming Anthony

[@rokpavsic5353]

In Slovenia we use husqvarna XP syntetic oil

[@justinsorrentino9780]

Hi I only use ethanol free fuel on all my two strokes and older power equipment. For my two strokes I'm using Husqvarna oil I'm adding 1 oz per gallon of seafoam and stabilizer all at the same time. I've been doing this now for the last 5 to 10 years I haven't had to take any carburetors apart to clean them and everything starts right up no problems. Now for my lawn mower it can accept ethanol fuel. ethanol fuel from some schools I have attended has a 17 day shelf life I add an additive into the ethanol fuel that helps stabilize the separation of the alcohol and gas. I also add 1 oz per gallon of seafoam into this mix as well. My mower is 10 years old this year and I haven't had the carburetor off this machine either.

[@DarkFlamage]

I put about 1/2 gas in the tank, add the oil, then rest of the gas, so the oil stays in suspension, not stuck on the tank sides or bottom. Then, shake it, baby! 🤣🤣

[@robk9827]

I use true fuel in all my lawn mowers, snow blower, lawn tractor chain saws, back packs. Never had a problem..

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Yeah that is ethanol free premix gas and it's great stuff! I do not to use it ONLY because making my own ethanol free mix is a cheaper option for me... i have used it in a pinch and it runs just the same!

[@Joe.M]

Need a grapple bucket for the skid steer. Building one would be a good project video. 🙂

[@shanehansen2141]

I always use premium non-ethanol gas in every small engine I own. For 2-•stroke, I use Amsoil Saber. I've been using that for more than a decade without an issue. It doesn't smoke and it doesn't clog spark arrestors. I don't use my chainsaw as much as I used to but it always fires right up after sitting for about a year usually. I don't have anything against the premixed stuff other than its highway robbery (even moreso than premixed coolant).

[@paulslocomb6805]

[@Mikes5785]

I’ve gone to straight off the shelf, premixed canned gasoline for all my two cycle equipment. It’s a bit more expensive but I don’t have any problems with equipment starting or running, all my equipment is adjusted for 50 to 1 mix

[@tacticalrabbit308]

Looks like you need pallet forks for the wheel loader and grapple loader forks.

[@madcapmagician6018]

your next acquisition should be a grapple attachement for old red 🤣😁👍

[@erikdwyer729]

I use marine oil in my 2-stroke engines because it has more anti-corrosion properties. I haven't had any issues in the past 5 years with any of the equipment.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Well, as u have learn that using the front-end loader to pick-up the wood didn't work. needed a grabble on the steer skid.

[@johanw9513]

I only use alkylate premix fuel on the smaller two strokes. I think you only get Aspen and Stihl alkylate stuff in the US. Over here it`s readily available and not tremendously more expensive than regular gas. I like the alkylate stuff, because it stores well, doesn’t gum up the carbs, and don’t produce so much crap in the exhaust for you to breathe. On the snowmobile, I use regular fuel and synthetic two-stroke oil. Taryl fixes all did a test on various fuels, including regular gas and alkylate. If the engine needs a fatter mix (like my trimmer) I add some more oil to the alkylate premix
