I like Doug’s comment…”Money will ruin friendships, so just leave it out”. 👍

Great words of wisdom at the end. America used to know this and practice it all the time. I 67 now, but when I was a kid my dad and neighbor did this all the time. Now most people don’t even know their neighbor’s name.

I feel like we live in an area that is still hanging on by a thread of how things used to be done. But you are correct. Most places don’t practice this anymore

This is a great way business between friends should be done no money just help each other. My only concern is when the younger ones get to cutting that the racks of wood doesn’t fall if they don’t happen to have the experience to know what to look for if it’s going to fall but I do like the neatness of the piles

Years ago, before I retired, I was a farmer. I had 2 neighbors that would ask me for help. I always helped them any way that I could. When I needed help and asked them, 1 would always have an excuse why he couldn't help. The other would always come to help. He would always be 15 minutes late, but he would be there. Guess which 1 I like to help more!!

Good sorting and stacking 👍 I think it's great that your friend is providing an opportunity for his employees to make some extra cash that isn't necessarily job related. They will appreciate it if they have ambition and will remember him forever. The difference between a good employer and a great boss. Glad you got to repay a favor with a favor, your friend is right money ends friendships (and relatives). Good video 😊

I befriended a younger couple on marketplace last year that was giving away a neatly stacked pile of 60 10ft long 18"-22" diameter hardwood logs from a clearing project. Without any tractor or help, i have slowly cut and split that pile and i am not done after 3 months. But that one pile will nearly pay for 1/2 of my new eastonmade 12-22. Plus we have a great friendship as well. Thanks for the video.

Hope some of the workers if not take the opportunity. Had neighbors who's driveway culvert washed out. Hadn't spoken much since newer purchase but while talking to him, he mentioned they couldn't find anyone selling red dirt. I asked if he meant the red clay soil we have there. He did. He was shocked when I told him to just go take a couple scoops the need out of the hillside. Was I sure, how much for it, etc. Had to tell him I'd offer it to any neighbor or friend needing it. Even his dad had him ask again after they'd fixed their drive how much. Things are just different now.

I've found that at times its easier and faster to move it twice rather than trying to track individual buckets to each pile. Swing it put it down make a pile. Move to the other side and swimg that pile to its bunk. Tracking takes time and beats up the tracks. Much faster to swind and drop 2 times or 3 times in most cases.

Ya, I was guessing that when you were saying that you wanted to try out the tractor with the grapple vs. the mini ex, that you were going to be disappointed. I've got a tractor that's a little larger than yours, but it's got the same style grapple as you do (mine is a Frost Bite), and I just know from experience that when the logs are all laying crisscross and hodgepodge, it's a real pain in the butt to grapple them. Question for you though, who is flying your drone for you when you're working in the mini? Also, LOVE the relationship that you and Doug have.
