[@Timberland-Farms]

@ I hope to see you there, bring a book of notes of questions you’d like answered!

[@Timberland-Farms]

I want to thank George over at Full Creek Farms for helping me build the firewood rack while also milling the lumber needed to build it. Glad to have connections like him!

[@robertdunning74]

I just come across your channel i do firewood full time and i found it very interesting keep it up

[@Timberland-Farms]

Glad you stopped by. I’ll be at it again for sure!

Hey fellow NYer. Wayne county dairy farmer here. I've got a 530 gas. Run a Husq 450 and Echo 590 as main saws. Sure do wish I had a tractor w a loader. I do have lots of dead ash though

[@Timberland-Farms]

Broome county here, definitely not jealous of your winters lol I started firewood with a husky 435 and upgraded to a 450 for a long time. Ran a 562 for the past few years and just upgraded a couple months ago to this 572xp. First and second tank of gas was actually in the making of this video The loader was originally a power up gravity down trip style manure loader. Added skid steer attach myself and golly what a difference! Highly recommend the effort for anyone. Took me about a month working on it here and there after work

@Timberland-Farms I'm far enough s that I don't get that lake effect like the northern part does. Last 3 years I plowed snow maybe 12-15 times combined. TCs Outdoors ( check him out) he gets the lake effect. He's almost 20 miles N of me. And he's a decent distance from the lake

[@Timberland-Farms]

I haven’t plowed in several years, last time I think was when we got a freak 4 ft storm, when they said 12-18”. I leave anything 6” or less and just drive over it

[@Timberland-Farms]

I’ll have to check his channel out!

[@brandonhoad9033]

@@Timberland-Farms I wouldn't plow some of what I do but I have to get my milk truck in (semi) and my main driveway is shared w a church.

Put set of car ramps under splitter will help your back works for me. I just found your video

[@Timberland-Farms]

I have another splitter in the works, pulling it out of retirement and putting it back into service in a few weeks

[@SlightCollection8966]

Hey do have a ton of acerage there? Do you collect logs from ur land?

[@Timberland-Farms]

No, I wish I did would save a lot of money. I have to order logs to get trucked in

[@SlightCollection8966]

@Timberland-Farms ah that sucks man I would definitely be trying to save up money for some land. But right now it expensive.

[@Timberland-Farms]

That’s the long term goal

[@SlightCollection8966]

@Timberland-Farms yea I get that. Hey do you do any pine, I know some people will cut up fur for there stoves. But I heard pine inst good for stoves when green need to let it dry out.

[@Timberland-Farms]

@SlightCollection8966 pine and other soft woods have a high moisture content as well as high sap content and when burned cause a lot of smoke and creosote. And creosote causes chimney fires which causes house fires It’s best practice cleaning your chimney yearly or even twice in a heating season as well as burning seasoned wood

[@Jacked97Ram]

Great video, how many cord you think form a nice grapple load like that?

[@Timberland-Farms]

The log truck should net me roughly 6-7 full cord. Sometimes on a rare occasion I can get 8-9 full cord He came with an empty trailer but I can get deliveries truck and trailer. Not sure off the top of my head what that nets me in cordage The firewood rack holds exactly 1/3 of a cord or a facecord as known locally here

[@PaulKavanagh-cz9kp]

What make is the splitter

[@Timberland-Farms]

@PaulKavanagh-cz9kp wallenstien . It’s their WE220 model

[@ryankelly2800]

Great video! Love the set up! You definitely should try the zip tie on the handle to measure your 16" wood it saves a bunch of time!

[@Timberland-Farms]

I never thought of that, I’ll have to give it a try

[@richardkarpensky1232]

You need to find a hay and grain conveyor then you split it to it and run up the trailer

[@Timberland-Farms]

@ I have used Hay/Grain elevators in the past, they never hold up, I got a homemade belt conveyor in the works I’ll make a video on when I get all the pieces together
