[@thomasmonsch9906]

Hi Ants I do not understand: Do you will build ONLY a huge carport for your Bobcat, Tractor, … AND / OR also a huge storage building for your fire-wood? How ever i have 3 Tipps you should think about: 1. Tipp for Carport: Make it high enough. So that you will not have problem in future if ever you will have bigger (higher) working machine. 2. Tipp for Wood-storage: I would plan 2 doors. So from 1 door you put the wood IN and from oposit door you take the wood OUT. So your „old“ (dry) wood is allways ready to get. And the „New“ (wet) wood you move in from oposit side. So it has time to get dry. Get what i mean? 😁 Like that it will make your work much easyer. 3. Replant trees: What about if you replant Douglasie tree. It‘s a tree from Canada and it grows much faster, then trees you have in your area.

[@Ants_Pants]

Hey Thomas, thanks for the tips buddy, all area great ideas. I will replant (and have done so for the past 4 years) about 1000 trees per year, so far iv chosen between pine and spruce, but i think i will go with birch in 2023

[@HeatherNaturaly]

Brother, there is no way I could live in Estonia with only 5 hours of daylight in Winter. I about go nuts with a minimum of only 9.5 hours here, in the USA. I suffer from vitamin D deficiency in the Winter, which causes depression.. S.A.D And you are still totally crazy..............Dropping those trees.🤣😳But I'm just an OLD Lady. I am very impressed with your dexterity with those forks and the precision with which you place the logs.

[@Ants_Pants]

I wish i had that much sun :D that would be awesome. But then again on summer we have around 15 or more hours of daylight.

[@HeatherNaturaly]

@@Ants_Pants I think we get 16 in Summer. Can't say I ever really paid that much attention. Sunrise around 5 and sets around 9 at best in June

[@TheJimcrooks800]

Loved the three tree drop too but also the 'dancing on ice' with the Soviet tractor - awesome. Your neighbour's land is totally exposed as he has denuded it of forest. I think you remarked previously that you you replant the forest area regularly and that is great to know - the harvest of lumber for your lifelong projects will never dry up. The running repairs to machines and mechanisms must be frustrating at times but you meet all the challenges with that fantastic problem-solving brain. And an occasional 'crrapp'. Interesting vid though Andris.

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks Jim. Totally agree on the forest matter. Looks like a barren wasteland. I try to plant new trees every year. Its very important to me

[@CarlosFau64]

It is an excellent idea to sell the firewood you have left over. It can be a source of economic income. And making cages to store them, that customers can return to refill, is very interesting. I think it's great that you do a sustainable felling of trees. It's wonderful to be able to live in a forest. Indiscriminate logging does nothing for the environment. You have extensive knowledge about the types of trees that surround you and I learn with you. Thanks! This will be a good year for new and interesting projects. I wish you luck! I will always be watching you. A hug!

Your channel material is fantastic; it's like watching a good television series with elements of a reality tv show, sitcom, a makeover show, lifestyle, documentary, and everything in one package, it's great to see your subscribers more than double in only 11 months. Well-organized supply chain and job structure, especially, the combination of the soviet beast and the excavator, is a deadly combo. It is remarkable how efficiently you use trees, nothing is wasted, it is like the best practice not to burn trees but to make some construction material and leftovers burn for firewood or sell. You also have a strong understanding of physics. I'm curious whether you have any physics or math background. Excellent work.😁

One thing you could make may be an iron/steel nose piece for the log that is like a sledge. When you drag the tree it would ride and push against the sledge nose piece.

Great video Ants. I'm looking forward to this new project. You definitely need a building where you can get your machinery under cover. Would love to see you build a good workshop for yourself to work on your machines. Selling some of the firewood is a great idea, especially with the costs being so high. Thanks for sharing and keep safe.

Ants, you need a log Shoe, I'm sure someone has shown one on KZbin, they were a thing when people used to haul logs with draught horses or bullocks.

[@Ants_Pants]

Yes i understand what you mean, but hauling them like this while breaking chains and having all sorts of issues is more fun ? 🤣 maybe

[@matthewfischer3312]

You should get a skidding cone for dragging those bigger logs. It should make it much easier to move them around.

[@Thehomepros6221]

Great video my good friend!! I LOVE watching that old tractor and excavator work, im excited to see some maintenance videos also. I wish I was there to help you fix the bobcat!! It’s probably somthing simple as the switches, broken wire or a blown fuse, the switch just operates a solenoid on the hydraulics. Check all the fuses, check the wires and contacts on the switches. I know you can figure it out and if you need any help with it I’ll help in anyway I can. Stay safe buddy take care

[@Ants_Pants]

Your right mate, it's most likely something easy that you could fix by just looking at the problem :D I will do a deepdive into it once i reach the bobcat on the maintenance front.

[@Joe-mf4jx]

Gotta love that Soviet chair. I always wonder when it will show up. Like where’s Waldo

[@Ants_Pants]

😂

[@rl3898]

A few thoughts for you Ant, Run lower tyre pressures = better grip. Load the foreloader for front end traction, the camera is not heavy enough. Use double chains on the log so they are underneath and the hydraulic arms lift the front of the log clear of the ground, weight transfer and less resistance. Bobcat electrics... probably wiring faults or stuck solenoids. Start at the Aux service solenoid plug and see if there is 12volts going on and off with the cabin switch. Looking forward to the build of the tractor shed and every other project you do.

Pretty interesting to just try to drag the tree behind the tractor. We always hooked the trees up to the 3-point hitch of the tractor and slightly lifted them. This gives more weight and traction to the tractor, and less dragging surface for the tree on the soil. But i guess your little blue monster can't lift enough on the 3-point hitch for that to work?
