#87 - Husqvarna 572XP and 575XP - Cutting free firewood from a farm

Strategically dropping big ash trees so I can avoid a water-filled ditch, and then blocking them up with my Husqvarna chain saws. I haul two loads of free wood that will be ready to burn this fall.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I like to work!

[@rileyreed1261]

Nice drive over camera view. Thought sure you would hit. : )

[@InTheWoodyard]

Almost!

[@matthewnasci2646]

Watched a bunch of your videos. You are an incredibly hard working individual. Exercise is good for the heart and mind.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I appreciate that! I like to work and accomplish big things.

[@wileyseifert5769]

Out of all the fire wood guys on KZbin you do the best fallen trees

[@InTheWoodyard]

WOW! that is quite a compliment! Have you watched Buckin Billy Ray cut , he is the master!

[@wileyseifert5769]

@@InTheWoodyard yes hes a logger like me my business is very close to being like his I do more salvage logging any more do tons of firewood and build custom furniture and fireplace mantels and the such all out of wood that usually becomes firewood

[@JohnDiMartino]

You are a hard worker! Great job! Nice score of ash and Cherry! Not a huge fan of the poplar but wood is wood..

[@InTheWoodyard]

Me neither, but it all sells and it all burns! Thanks John!

[@JohnDiMartino]

@@InTheWoodyard You’ve inspired me , been cutting wood over 25 years , finally going to start selling it. Check out my last 2 videos and let me know what you think of the splitter I just bought. I’ve got a lot of the equipment you would need from my landscaping business and having an outdoor wood boiler for 13 yrs ...I built my own splitter for the skid steer ( it’s in a few of my videos), and I just grabbed a small processor used needing work.

[@JohnDiMartino]

Forgot to add I see you like Husqvarna saws, I love them. If you haven’t tried a 550xp, you don’t know what your missing, I bought one 3 yrs ago and it’s my favorite saw now , the 372xps sit a lot more now . The 550 does 90 percent of my cutting.

[@KillingerUSA]

Always a joy to watch your videos before I start my day.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad to hear it, hopefully it motivates you to get to work!

[@MOAONAABE]

ash is my fav firewood. seasons fast, burns hot, ash borer approved

[@InTheWoodyard]

You are correct about that!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for today's binge watching!

[@poxpox2917]

14:20 both truck doors are wide open, glad I'm not the only one that's always too pre occupied to remember closing them doors!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, I think I was airing it out from the gas smell on my gloves!

[@davidward6626]

That will make a bunch of wood

[@InTheWoodyard]

yes!

[@theovavourass2809]

Gooday from doWnUnder Chris..... From one firewood nut to another...want to say I’m loving your journey mate...!!!!! I’m from Melbourne / Australia living in suBurbia,,,, that sucks, but that’s just how it is. Love your videos!!!!! Good to see another Husky lover!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Gday mate, I always wanted to say that, one more check on the bucket list! THANKS!

[@healyfamily4]

Good wood score, nice to see you have your trailer back!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it is, it just keeps getting better.

[@thomas25082]

Why do u switch saws?

[@InTheWoodyard]

I just grab the next sharp and gassed up one when I run the first one dry and that way I keep cutting and also let the saws cool down, they last longer that way.

[@kennyp507]

Great job!!! I do the same thing with noodling the bigger rounds in half, with ash I just noodle the first 6" of the round then take a wedge and sledge to it, saves the chain a bit. Also I highly recommend the Husqvarna 2:! hand chain sharpener, I was skeptical of it at first, but I do 6 strokes per tooth every other tank of gas and can literally cut 10 cords of wood before the chain gets to stretched out, takes about 5 min to touch up once you get the rhythm of it, havent gone back to my bench sharpener since getting the file system.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tips Kenny and for watching too!

[@garny3766]

Chris have you ever seen thought about bringing your splitter along now? I just see that as one less time you have to lift the splittable pieces. Get a local fab shop to add a receiver on back of dump trailer. Know a few folks around here that go to the woods like that.

[@InTheWoodyard]

No, it's not my property and there are other people cutting out there but mainly it wold be a lot of extra work to haul everything there and back every day, I did it twice before on some other private land and it was not worth it.

[@NimaTech]

How do buck up all the wood without the chain hitting the ground?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Don't worry I do hit it every once in a while, the trick is to be very aware of the chain, saw tip, ground, angle, saw speed, sun light and shadow, spin of the planet, moon phase, wind direction,etc.

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

@@InTheWoodyard geez that's a lot to pay attention to.. Lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

@@DanielAtkinsFirewood Ya, and if you miss just one, off goes your leg!

Deffentleny has been a good spot for cutting and hauling wood out.. How far is this again from the yard??

[@bobbrooks266]

Just found and subscribed to your channel. Very enjoyable video. And loved the banjo music I've heard it before but sounds great. Do you know what it's called. Regards from across the pond

[@InTheWoodyard]

Bob, thanks for watching , more banjo ahead!

[@Alan_Hans__]

35 degrees is great for firewood cutting. 35F no, 35C yes.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Alan, 35-55 is perfect, I don't like sweat in my eyes! Ha!

[@stannelson2582]

What do you guess. About a face cord and half per tree. 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ya, some more some less. have found that a 12-14" tree is a face cord+ -.

[@loganseefeldt1880]

Why don't you bring your splitter with you

[@InTheWoodyard]

I've done that before and it's too much extra work and it's not my land and other people cut wood out there too sometimes so I don't want to leave it out there.

[@loganseefeldt1880]

@@InTheWoodyard why don't you rent a 16 foot dump trailer

[@nathanperkins4265]

Hey I wouldnt even bother ripping ash rounds all you do it drop the maul on them and they split like nothing less time

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, you are right but I like to cut!
