A new sub came over from Dave Colliers live. Looking forward to watching more videos

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Cynthia! I appreciate that. I'll see you on your channel, too! :)

[@FabbedFun]

Well, it looks to be functional... maybe a little slower but a real blessing for someone who doesn't want to bend over a hundred times to cut some wood. Doing what works for yourself is something that makes KZbin entertaining and diverse on the ideas and processes to accomplish similar tasks. Good video!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hi Logan, yes sir It is slow compared to cutting on the ground or in the wood pile, but I've also tried using my grapple and the timberjack and a few other back-saving things. Compared to those two, it's way faster and less work. Plus I can buck an 8-foot log into six 16-inch rounds without moving anything but the saw. Thanks for watching, buddy! Have a great weekend! :)

[@heilwoodworkingandmore1892]

Nice way to hold the logs while you cut them up into rounds. Looks like you have some nice spring weather over there! Thanks for another great video!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Jeff! Yes sir, we've been really lucky this year so far. It rained all the next week after filming this, but at least it's not too cold! Thanks for watching, buddy and have a great weekend! :)

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

David, another great product demonstration! It really does work well for what it is designed for. Not everyone can work the same way. This is great because it enables you to continue to get out and work that Stihl without the strain of bending over the whole time. 👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Well said, Lucas! I ain't going to be up at the house on the couch when I got all this work to get done. It's another tool in the toolbox. :) Thanks for watching, bud! :)

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

That’s a cool gadget David 👍🏻 even fits in the 2” receiver. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

You're welcome, Luc! Thank you and you have a great weekend, too buddy :)

[@RossOnTheLand]

I use my backhoe with the thumb when I need to use something similar, and it would be too low on my side by side, but on the back of the Big tool rack works the treat! Thanks David.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Well you were smart enough to get the backhoe. I should have! Thanks for watching, Ross! :)

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

It’s nice to have an extra set of hands. I like it.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

I agree! It is proving to be a handy option for the small diameter logs. Take care, Scott :)

[@davidradzik2797]

What a great idea for the alders you have.. it manages those 6-7” logs quite easily. Most of the logs I process into firewood are a bit larger..10-14” diameter.. so I’ll be sticking with my method using the backhoe with the thumb to grab them in the middle, and cut to splitting size.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey David! Yes sir, it works well for these small diameter trees. Anything larger and I wouldn't want to pick them up this way anyway. I guess I need a backhoe. haha Thanks for watching, my friend!

[@davidradzik2797]

Seems well worth the $100 to me too! What a nifty little tool, thanks for the demonstration. Now I'm trying to figure out what I can install one on! Haha.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

You're welcome! I've seen them installed in the 2" receiver of trucks, atv's, garden tractors and compact tractors. I also heard of people making them so they can strap them onto a tree! Thanks for watching :)

[@BuildALotAcres]

Very cool. I’ve seen those before and wondered how good they really worked. Awesome video David!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey thanks, Case! They work really well for my use and the design is simple enough. With today's steel prices, $100 is a pretty decent deal to come ready-made I think. I appreciate you watching, my friend! :)

[@IndianHemlock]

That fiskars hookaroon is awesome, having back issues is not fun had some myself and when I was a young lad I watched my father suffer with herniated disc for years

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Yes, it's an amazingly effective tool. I use it all the time. Back pain is no joke that's for sure! Thanks for watching, buddy! :)

Hey thanks Derk! It does come in handy! Thanks for watching buddy 👍

[@180Floridalife]

Good idea 👍 I stopped cutting up firewood years ago, can’t take it anymore. But if I need to move a log I use the backhoe or my forks

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Dana, yep that works too! I can use this tool most of the time, but there are some logs that just won't work well. It's just part of the toolbox. Thanks for watching, my friend :)

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Looks like it helps you and that what really matters. Nice video.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Yes it does! It's far from a full solution, but it does help. Thanks for watching, Paul :)

[@robinnorman1170]

Someday you'll remember to lift the legs up on your tool rack before you break them off hopefully! 😂😂👍👍 Awsome new tool. 👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

LOL I know, I know! In my defense, I filmed this video and the other one a few hours apart. 😬Thanks for watching, Robin! I really appreciate it. Have a great weekend, my friend!

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi David! That Jaw Boss is a very clever device and is clearly a big help to you. Yes, a log cart would be another good investment for you. I use either my tractor with forks or my backhoe with thumb to do the same thing. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Martin! I took your advice about the logging cart and it's sitting out in my shop ready to be assembled tomorrow! I'm still kicking myself for not getting a backhoe along with the rest at 0%, but when I ordered it I didn't think I'd need it. Boy was I wrong. As always, thank you for your support of me and the channel. Have a great weekend, my friend :)

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

That works great with the Big Tool Rack.Maybe you could still use your pickaroon to help life the log up without having to bend clear down. Just a thought. but then again, if you take advice from me on pickaroons, you may be going for a walk.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Gary! I was thinking about that also. That Fiskars hookaroon is a blessing, my friend. I haven't tossed it yet but then again it's always on my mind now thanks to your backward launch! Have a great weekend!

[@squirrellyacres]

Thats a pretty neat tool.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Yes, it does have its uses. At least for my application anyway. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Pretty slick log holder. Can’t say I’ve ever seen one like it, but it looked like it worked well. Might be able to use your grapple also to hold a log up in the air to cut 👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Dave, yeah it's a nifty tool for sure. I do use my grapple for larger stuff but I'm really trying to get away from running the grapple all day long in the log yard. I"m also looking for ways to have somebody else working in the log yard while I'm on another part of the land using the tractor. It's just another tool in the toolbox :)

HELLO FRIENDS SHARE VERY GOOD AND INTERESTING VIDEOS. ..

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thanks for visiting 👍

[@GardenTractorBoy]

I really like that Jaw Boss, it is a fantastic product. It would be even better if could be fitted to your FEL so you could drive up to the log and use the tractor to lift it

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Joseph! Yeah I thought of that too, but the main reason I thought I'd give this tool a try is so that I don't have to use the tractor's FEL so much. Plus, I drop the Big Tool Rack in place and go get more loads while a helper stays in the yard and bucks. It's a pretty good system. Thanks for watching, my friend!! Cheers :)

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Anything that can save our backs is a good investment. This is a neat set up and good for the small diameter logs you have. I suppose if the logs were bigger you could pick them up in the grapple and use that for the buck. Good luck with your new logging tool!! Take care!!!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey, Mike! Totally agree. This little tool is worth the money. For me at least. Yes sir, if they're too big to fit into the Jaw Boss then they're too big for me to lift anyway. The grapple is great for that. Thanks for watching, my friend and you have a great weekend! Cheers!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Enjoyed the video. have seen some guys using the Jaw Boss on their pickup truck receiver's. Hey, if that tool alleviates further back pain for you then it's absolutely worth the 100 bucks. I am sure it will help others out as well, thanks for sharing.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

I agree. If it works for you then it's worth it. So far it's doing what I thought it would. I appreciate you watching! :)

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey David , I e always liked the jaw boss . I never got one because when they first came out they were very costly . I am going to have to go back and revisit them . I wanted one to go in my hitch on my 4x4 Tacoma . Great video . Del

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Del! It should work well for you on the Tacoma. I appreciate you watching, buddy! Take care :)

[@tractorman4461]

I am certainly a fan of any tool or accessory that makes it physically easier on a person. I am blessed with a weak mind and a halfway strong back so as a result I abuse it and myself daily. I have a hookaroon that's probably older than me and you put together and I have never used it. But, it having been part of my Grandfathers estate, it looks good hanging on the wall. I also am fortunate to have the Missus to do all my heavy work.....!! LOL. Not really, but she IS the first to chastise me for doing dumb stuff all the time. Good video showing the Jaw Boss David. You might could end the video with something like: "...ask your doctor if the Jaw Boss is right for you". (-: Have a plentiful and blessed day my friend.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

LOL that's a good one, Wendell! You make me laugh or smile every time I see you. Thanks for that, buddy! Yes, the Jaw Boss is just another option when working with the logs. I don't use it much right now because I'm working with fir that's too large for it, but I expect to use it quite a bit when I go to buck up a lot of that small alder. Thank you for watching, sir! I appreciate it, my friend!!

Looks like that thing worked great to me, David! I would buy that thing for a 100 bucks too!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Yeah it won't work for everyone and I may not use it all the time, but it fits in the tool rack and does what I bought it for. :) Thanks for watching, Kyle. Have a great weekend, my friend!

[@watershedoverlook]

As someone who's fought my share of back issues, I can't argue with your logic David. That looks like a great tool, particularly for those logs up to 6-8". Seems like the grapple would be the obvious answer for larger stuff? Have a great weekend!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Chris, yes the grapple would be best suited for anything more than around 8". So far, only have a few logs larger than 8" because I had to remove 4 or 5 dying Firs last year. Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend, also! :)

Nice video and info David! Man trees are a lot of work! The old adage…” How many times do you handle the wood”? I keep trying to get that number down, but it keeps creeping up! Lol. I was just looking and complaining about the upcoming tree management season! Thanks bud! 👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Jim! Yeah I'm trying to handle the wood as little as possible without using my tractor too much either. This tool is part of the answer at least. I'm lucky that my trees are pretty small diameter because I can get some good use out of this thing. Thanks for watching and have a good one! Cheers!

[@KNLFirewood]

That is a pretty handy tool. You have a grapple right? If the log was small enough diameter to fit in that apparatus, have you tried using the grapple to pick the log up from the end and have the same outcome? Anything to save your back! I get it! Good demo! Keep them coming!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Yeah, I've used the grapple for the same thing, but it's a lot of extra effort and more wear & tear on the tractor to use the grapple for these little logs. I figure this tool is just another one in the toolbox. Thanks for watching, Mike! Have a great weekend :)

[@earlyriser8998]

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Another great tool David, I had seen something similar to this a few years ago that clamped/strapped to a tree. Yours fits in a hitch which is nice. Any ideas on the log splitter you plan on getting? I am in the market for one too, Leaning towards the champion model.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Joey :) I'm leaning toward the County Line 25ton because I can pick it up at Tractor Supply in town. I like the Champion 27ton also but it is at a box store in another town down the highway so I would have to put it on a trailer. I can tow the County Line home on its own wheels. I think those two machines are pretty closely matched though I would prefer to have the one with the Kohler engine. I haven't decided which way to go yet, though.

[@6DOutdoors]

Like my pop always said, "work smater not harder" lol. great video David. I think for the size of logs you are mostly dealing with it will work great. How do you like the new saw? Hope your back is healing up and you are able to get back to 100% soon. Take care buddy.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Kyle! The MS 271 is a little temperamental about starting when cold, but once it's running it's really sweet to use. I appreciate the well wishes about my back but unfortunately after nearly 50 years of use and injuries it will only get worse I'm told. I hope you have a great weekend, my friend. Thank you for watching and take care!

[@HillsideAcres]

Im not familiar with alder? To me they look like birch trees that grow over here on the east coast which can be used to make white birch soda as well as birch syrup which isnt as good as maple in my opinion. Maybe the alder and white birch are similar. I think the best tool for firewood i have ever bought was the waste oil furnace! It requires no firewood and the fuel is free lol!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Alder is a member of the birch family and this variety is very similar. Most people see birch trees when they look at the forest. They're hardwood and burn really well. Some people use them like hickory on the BBQ. Most of the logs in my yard are deadfall so they're pretty old and very brittle. Thanks for watching, folks :)

[@JustCaidsDayFarm]

Great video hickaroon! HAHA that gave me a good laugh. Watching this I was wondering if once you have on end in the jaw can you use the hookaroon to lift the other end instead of bending down or would that be too heavy and harder on your back? Loved the video David!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]
