Swedish Iron Horse: Is It Time to Upgrade Your Forestry Game?

Let me introduce to one of my brothers latest machines that he uses for his work. The Swedish Iron Horse. It is a very simple but effective way to move big logs. Here is the link to the chainsaw review of the Stihl MS500i: • Stihl MS500i Fuel Inje...

Hi! Swede here. When I grew up we used to call old bicycles for järnhäst-ironhorse 😊

[@margaretleboeuf6765]

It's interesting to learn about new equipment used by arborists and lumberjacks. Helps prevent back injuries!

[@livelife4471]

Your brother's professionalism in handling the downing of a tree shines loudly.

[@thechronicgeneralist]

I've been eyeing this specific tool for quite sometime. Such a great little purpose built machine. Very effective in steep terrain too with the tracks and low center of gravity

[@ceebeedf]

Tim always brings the coolest stuff, first the Alstor 8x8 forwarder a few months ago and now this thing!

[@bigunone]

Pretty slick piece of kit! Next one will have a remote I guess I'm supposed to declare first!!

[@davidwolter4263]

That is a great piece of equipment! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@brucea550]

Saw one of these many years ago up in Canada at a maple sugaring operation. It had a Diesel engine and no hydraulics because they didn’t want to risk a broken line spilling fluid. They had a dump bed for it, another bed that had a 300 gallon sap tank, plus the log bunks. They also had a tender that they could pull about 12’ behind it, with fat tires and log bunks, so you weren’t dragging the log in the dirt. The owner loved it, because his terrain was difficult for a tractor in many places, plus how easy it could maneuver in between close trees and that it didn’t tear up the ground much. It had a manual crane rig and some hand winches. Pretty basic machine but super handy for his operation. I think he said it was made in the 1950s.

[@pvchatt]

Very good video! I've looked at iron horse several times! It would be a great addition I my Woods managment.

[@patmaier6917]

Very good way of dealing the the tree. Good video!

[@FayleeJames]

Looks like you have a couple of great tools there. Was really impressed with the saw.

[@clearsmashdrop5829]

Hehe...its like a motorized pallet-jack for lumberjacks. :) Thx

[@regsparkes6507]

I knew it reminded me of something,..that's it,..a pallet jack ,....you're right!

[@rnswann6324]

This is definitely a great machine, especially where draft horses are not available. However, horses like having a purpose, a job to do. They are very self aware. So I hope your neighbor's horses still have work to do.

[@lyndacompton1846]

Love the pictures and the information never seen anything like it quite thank you

[@raincoast9010]

Nice climbing Tim !

[@regsparkes6507]

This is a wonderful piece of kit for sure!

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

It's very good for dragging out big game as moose too on bog soil and other bad terrain or in deep snow. A lot of accessories is available for them.

[@matsvineyard7564]

Tim - a man of not so many words. But he knows his shit.

[@calhoun1968]

Hi Tim, hi Simeon! This was very interesting, now on to the chainsaw review! Peace, Love and Light my friends!

[@JohnMcNerney]

I used to see something like that made by Jonsered advertised in Northern Woodlands magazine here in the US. I always thought it was a great idea, but have never seen one in person.

[@susansollee1839]

Amazing equipment! Great job!

[@littlewhitedory1]

Very nice. Very good if you can use it enough to make it pay for itself.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Nicely done thanks for sharing

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Love that iron horse. Low impact on the land.

[@Mis-AdventureCH]

Love the claw option.

[@JohnWhite-si4xc]

this video was very cool like that little machine your brother had there now the new saw

[@AgsiSD]

Your bro is a true Boss!

[@patriarca91]

The lords of the woods are coming back 👍🏼 ( dont forget to gift back wat take off)💪🏼🙌🏼😎

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Great video . . .

[@apuuvah]

That's some pro shit! Greetings from Finland.

[@tinamariegregory3130]

Very interesting.

[@Volvo-Bjorn]

That Iron Horse is fucking awesome.

[@FarmFreshIB]

Slick as a whistle!

[@maryshoemaker1437]

WOW...men and their toys!!!

[@olnamgrunt9857]

Neat machine

[@EnGammalAmazon]

What do they call the induction device on the Husqvarna XP562 and XP550 if the new Stihl is the first saw w/o a carburetor?

[@dinatarini3303]

Wonderful.

[@gardenlady1293]

OMG! So dangerous! Prayers to you all!

[@jacobfurnish7450]

What be the price tag on that iron horse?

[@yonmusak]

About 30000 euro at 2024 rates.

[@sandycharlton8669]

How much does that cost I could realy use one to build small timber frame kits I have most of the tools but I am 46 I cant move the lumber by hand

[@mariadi1069]

Thank you, nevertheless boys toys 😉

[@brucea550]

Don’t call them toys! Can’t write off toys on your taxes! Lol

[@tomeubank3625]

As demonstrated, its low impact on the land and forest must be one of its major advantages. Far superior to clear-cutting a 40-ft swath for a flat-bed truck.

[@gus473]

Should be able to make the Iron Horse fully automated, running off a smartphone or laptop...! 🤔

[@zfilmmaker]

I’ve been waiting for the 500 for over a year. They keep delaying its release. Interesting it’s already out there.

[@brslib01]

What type of trees were being felled?

[@xrmad]

Jonsereds did injected saws back in the 50's look up the XA-XD saws

[@MrJkscottco]

Nice! how much $$ is it in USD? we can't even get a price here in US yet, and they say we may have to wait because being made in Germany Europe will get it first.

[@simeonandalex]

I am not sure about the price. Maybe search it with the Swedish name "järnhäst" and convert the amount into dollars.

[@MrJkscottco]

@@simeonandalex...Sorry I was referring to the chain saw.

[@LarsOliverMuff]

Is this gonna be one of the next SwedishHomesteadViralVideos ?

[@MrPriitV]

Very jealous!

[@NatoPotato700]

Link to Jarn Haste?

[@gtrlife2941]

Try an avant loader best machines

[@Sparkey]

Handy for bomb disposal too, just add a shotgun attachment.

[@melvina628]

00:20 Wow. Is your brother married? LOL.

[@takiman1]

So, Bam Margera moved to Sweden, huh? How’s skateboarding on those gravel roads?

[@shirleywolford3650]

Curious how your chickens are doing?

[@kellymcnichols5240]

UOU HAD THAT 1 LIMB THAT LOOKED LIKE A WINGKESS DRAGONGLY WALKING!!!!

[@margaretfoster492]

I was wondering how the issue with your property being taken

[@AT-cn2gu]

This machine looks useless. Get yourself a vermeer or ditch witch mini skid steer.

[@scottturner2529]

Why not use a real horse?
