Kubota L2501 Hauling Logs out of the Bush for Firewood

[@battles151]

2/3's of the video I chose to watch because I wanted to see the L2501 hauling wood, was of a man who forgot the fuel to do the job...bravo.....

[@brandonhoad9033]

The little green Meanies hammered anything even close to adult here, WNY, but didn't touch my saplings. Problem is they're going down way faster than I can work them.

[@aronsmith4768]

Dang man! I threw my back out watching you load that top cut! 🙈🙈

[@OSheaSpringers]

Oh you aren't kidding! I'm stubborn, I wanted it up there. I should have come back for it! Haha

[@MomentumCanada365]

20 years, my ash!

[@OSheaSpringers]

I see what you did there....

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Hate it when you run out of gas! You need a SawHaul man😁

[@OSheaSpringers]

I just went to Google and looked that up. YES! Yes I do! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@MomentumCanada365]

Great video buddy. Well done!

[@OSheaSpringers]

Thank you sir! I had lots of fun making this one and trying different angles and camera placement.

[@MomentumCanada365]

@@OSheaSpringers That’s my favourite part! The cool angles. I’m waiting for the shot of you driving over the camera :-)

[@OSheaSpringers]

@@MomentumCanada365 Right! I have seen that one and thought of it. Hmmm... next time!

[@miraclefarm1927]

Oh no, I couldn't believe they fell after going a ways, ugh. Glad you were safe. Blessings

[@OSheaSpringers]

Ha. Thanks for the comment! I was pretty sure they were going to but I was hopeful they wouldn't... ah well!

[@connellyslandmanagement725]

Hey man I’m pretty sure they make a 3 point box that you can put stuff in and carry around they use to make said box for people who cut wood mainly

[@OSheaSpringers]

Ya I (and when I say "I" I mean my farmer neighbour) actually made up a metal crate that goes on the back of the 3 point. It is SOOO much easier. I can fit what feels like a whole tree in there!

[@brandonhoad9033]

I'm more concerned w the fact that he's running ready mix. Thats what $5/qt?

[@connellyslandmanagement725]

We use to have a box like I’m talking about our ag class us to make them for people. We could get half a rick of wood in the box and still fit 3 saws ranging from a Sthil like ms140 I think. Little bitty guy. Then a Sthil ms028. freacking Monster…. Then a Sthil 038 absolutely insane. Anyways the box made things amazing when it came to wood cause if you have a loader the box leaves you with the loader still!

[@txelmore]

I would have stopped at 4, then I saw you load 6 and thought, wow, look at him go.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Hey David! Thanks for watching and commenting. I hear ya! When I was loading I was thinking 4 should be good too but wanted to make the trip worthwhile. I've fabricated up a custom cage for the 3 point hitch. Works awesome!

[@txelmore]

@@OSheaSpringers not to be a discouragement but don’t you have a trailer?

[@OSheaSpringers]

@@txelmore I don't. Neighbours do but I like to try to be independent and not be bothering them.

[@txelmore]

@@OSheaSpringers good idea. Sorry you don’t have a trailer but glad you figured out something.

[@quincymccarter3837]

hello nice tractor pallet forks work great on l2501 save your back

[@OSheaSpringers]

Ya for sure. I wanted to get the quick attach on the front for different implements but I would have been waiting a year... so, normal bucket for me!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I made my own chain saw carrier for my Kubota L2501. I am presently making another carrier for an old John Deere tractor that I feature in several of my videos. The saw hauls are very nice too, if you choose to go that way. It is a lot of fun to make your own though.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Very cool! I have heard of guys that have used a couple of plastic cutting boards and used them with a couple U bolts.

[@SharpeTimber]

Its no fun when you have to load something a second time haha nice video👍 I'm planning on putting a wood stove in my house as well, I have so much slab wood that I cut up of the sawmill.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Haha. Oh man, I wasn't pleased as you could tell. That's a great idea for using up the slab wood. If you ever want a hand running that sawmill of yours let me know! I may even bring the camera's along and do a video!

[@bradystodola1795]

Bucket hooks. Bolt on. Plenty to choose from on the web

[@OSheaSpringers]

Definitely! This was last year and very soon after me getting the tractor. Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@acebaker2001]

Use the bucket to lift the log off the ground so you can cut all the way through. Get a small trailer to pull behind the tractor.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Great idea! Also thought of chaining it as well to lift.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

New subscriber to the channel her. Love your intro and your music. I am just learning to edit my channel and I like to see how others are doing it.

[@OSheaSpringers]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching and glad you found us. We don't have a ton of videos of the tractor but anticipate doing more come the spring. Right now it's our hauler. Thanks for subscribing. I'll go check out your channel.

[@disenfranchisedcitizen1432]

Weld som chain ends on top of the bucket.

[@odellmac2134]

Not sure which worked the hardest, you or the tractor. Nice video, new sub here.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Ha. I'm sure that I worked harder that time! We appreciate the sub and also letting us know! So many times we see the sub count going up but people don't let us know so we don't know who they are!

[@scottn7464]

Get a set of forks and it’ll make that log hauling a lot easier

[@OSheaSpringers]

For sure! So when we ordered the tractor the quick attach option would have put us a months out waiting on a tractor. We settled. I don't know if I would make a different decision now or not. We've since fabricated up a basket for the 3 point hitch and it works GREAT!

[@joemommone3619]

What is the weight approximately of your logs & diameter

[@OSheaSpringers]

Oh I couldn't begin to guess how much they weighed. I did measure them at the end of the video. I think it was like... 14" maybe?

[@ZILAwelds]

That poor loader .... just because it can lift it does not mean it is good to drive with that load through the woods and into town .... but - to each its own .... i would have taken a trailer with me.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Indeed. To each their own. It handled it quite nicely. Thanks for the view and comment! Have a good weekend!

[@Social_Infidel]

Chain is cheap and would have held all that together.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Aint that the truth!!!

[@tsafa]

You need to get a Carry All for the three-point. It's only about $150 at Tractor Supply. That's the thing your neighbor was talking about building but it's cheaper to just buy it. That way you load the back first which acts as a counterweight for the front loader. You can also weld some hooks to the top of the bucket and run a chain across to stabilize the logs. If you do this a lot get Forks... but still get the cheap Carry All in the back.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Great suggestions! I actually had a 'basket' around. Actually the neighbours did. So that's what we built. Just a big metal basket with 2 point spots welded on. It works awesome! Much much easier.

[@andik859]

Disaster Profi.

[@OSheaSpringers]

Profi? Not sure what you mean. Disaster I totally agree with though! lol
