Amish House Raising/ Different Way To Split Wood

Today@Working Horses With Jim, we haul in a couple loads of firewood and get to watch our Amish neighbors new house going up.At the end of the video I will show you my stove and a different way that I sometimes split my wood.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week.

old horse jam when your neighbor stop for your team to go by...lol

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

😀

[@suzannemomma]

You can see how much they want to dig in! That stuttering step, head down, and every muscle engaged. The luckiest horses ever, to be able to carry out their God given purpose. That synchronized backing up looked like a dance.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching Suzannemomma!

[@jimcraig5208]

I like all your videos because it's a lost way of doing things.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks

[@domthomas1002]

Back in the late 60s'. I used to help my Grandfather with his pulling horses. He used to plant between 150-200 acres of field corn with a two row McCormick planter. I was the "water Boy". I would walk them down the creek and back. I was 8 years old at that time. Winter time came around and we would hook the BobSled and pull hay out to the cattle. End of spring we would start looking to skidding logs. I will NEVER forget those times. I still like to see a good team of horses working together. Love your videos.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Good memories! Thanks for watching!

[@shawngordon1563]

I think it's amazing how These two horses are almost Step for step with each other

[@joqlady888]

wow..this popped up this mornin..5/6/24.....says it was 3 yrs ago..I enjoyed it. lov from south alabama.

[@SusanA1056]

The big babies love their curry don't they? So relaxing.

What a pair of horses backing in step! My Goodness!

Jim you got some great video it is different and it is fun to watch. If you give it some time I think it will grow. Best to you and the Missus and God bless.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for the encouragement! Best to you and yours as well!

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

That is so nice to see how well our horses back up. Step to Step as one.. Wow.. Please let Miss Brenda that her window washing is the best and thanks for shareing.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Ronald 👍🏻

[@hfbroady]

Love the wood setup. That is just how I want my wood setup to be. My father and I log, cut firewood, and have a sawmill. I will always have access to lots of wood. GOD BLESS!!

[@willwipf7030]

Looks so peaceful, makes me wish things would never change , great video

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

I do hope, Jim and Brenda, that you get some kind of reward for sharing your life with us. It takes extra work and effort to do that. And for us it is really interesting. I like the piles of firewood you have, I am heating our farmhouse also solely with wood and I know how much work all that is.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, we enjoy doing it

[@duberollinup3452]

God Bless Jim!

[@butterflylover1347]

yep thats cute horses look to see what he is doing

[@jjock3239]

That is quite the furnace. I would love to have a thumb on my excavator, but to add one on my old machine, I would have to change the bottom arm because I would also want to add a quick change for the buckets. That is the joy of owning older machinery.

[@dennisrockeysr4167]

Jim I am a large animal veterinarian technician and I appreciate you ,and how you take care of your horses.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@jimcraig5208]

I like anything that has too do with horses. Its a lost art of a way of working now days. Its great to see your youg adult children helping you.

[@gregholl5011]

It is a returning art. There are quite a few businesses that make horse drawn machinery.

[@sheilam4964]

I enjoyed the view of the horses from the hitch because I got a good look at the differences between the way Lady pulls and the way Bill pulls. I could really see what you were saying about Lady puts more effort in whereas Bill is a bit lazy. Too funny. She doesn't seem to mind. And where you demonstrated how you adjust their harnesses to compensate the pull so Lady isn't pulling the load by herself. Although she looks like she is more than willing to do that if she has to. She is quite the spirit. Looks like she is doing well after having her mouth fixed.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes she is doing well, thanks for watching

[@br927]

Done haying in Nov, a few times myself, for mulch, we'd be baling hay & the other guy would be picking corn!Them horses amaze me, they are always 'chomping at the bit 'like Lets get it on!!

One heck of a splitter Jim

Beautiful sky in these videos - Congrats to the camera person ! Your hot water supply must be greatly improved with your new furnace. Talk about neighbor helping neighbor - nice to see that happening in your area Jim !! The more you help the more you WILL be blessed !! Have a great week, my friend !!

That 2 wheel chariot appears to be a frequent source of transportation. I only see springs on the seat, doesn't your lower back hurt after a whole day of using it. It is quite a contraption, very very useful.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, it does work well. It can be hard ion the back

[@johnking8679]

You need to get someone to repair your seat - it'll make for a better smoother ride and easier on your back, etc. Just a thought - it is your back I'm thinking of !!

super visit for the amish shop.

[@jimcraig5208]

Here in Oregon there's only a few people that use horses for logging. And it's because of the land owners. But they don't use the cart or the wagons. The make the horses pull all the time

Have you ever thought about putting a small jib boom on your wagon and using a winch to load the logs?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

No the skid steer works great for me

[@thewestnewyorker7269]

Very busy day! I definitely can relate to the firewood thing. Looks like a Husky saw. Use a Stihl myself my dad likes his Husqauvarna. That definitely seems late for haying. Thanks for sharing!

Great video Jim. I just love watching you work with those incredible animals. You can really tell they trust you. It's nice to see you working with them. Fewer teams every year. Great video 👍

[@bladewiper]

Are Lady and Bill related ? I think a excavator would a great rig for cutting fire wood. I can really see it being a great tool to have around, there are so many uses for it.

Not that we know of.

I think the supplement is working. Coats look great, and their shoes sound good and tight. How's Buck and Ken doing? Thanks for sharing.

They’re doing good, have been having some pasture time

[@randolphbutler1832]

Good backing Jim, so smooth and straight. How does the heat reach the living space from the detached heater?🐴😷👍

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It’s a boiler, so it’s hot water going through insulated pipes to the house and into the radiators

[@kevechevroletcoupee4621]

I was wondering the same thing.......I'm in south Louisiana so we don't need anything like that.

[@sueupham2519]

How do you get the heat to your house? Is the furnace a boiler? Could you explain the system?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

[@charliesaul729]

Hi Jim, I don't think I've seen your splitter especially for big rounds. Before I commented I searched your channel for splitting and 3 years ago you showed cutting some long firewood poles in half with the sawmill (pretty niffty). But I am curious how do you split the large rounds

[@johanrunfeldt7174]

18:00 Neighbour Lee being neighbourly.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

😀

[@hughvane]

At last! I now know what that small smoking apparatus I see in several videos is. I assume from what you've told us that you operate a radiator system to warm your house via underground pipes (which I couldn't see), but why so far from the house?

[@MiriamMNewby]

Why a firebox? Is it to burn excess wood or to dry out what you have stored next to it

[@arthurraygross4983]

I use a woodstove inside my house to het the inside of my house. Why heat outside? How do you transport the heat to the inside?

[@thomastonelli3272]

do you use it to heat your hot water for showers and other household uses or is it just for heat

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It’s for all the hot water we need

[@louisecassidy5991]

I've had two places where the cooking, heating, and hot water all from the cooking stove, and a friend had one also with a pipe system in the slab floor, pumped a sealed system all though the floor right through the house, electric-driven propeller. Australia.

is there a purpose for the 2 silver balls on the harness at the shoulder or is that just decoration

They are just for decoration

It's funny... Sometimes when your talking..,.. the horses turn around an look an wonder who the hell is he talking to?

[@jimcraig5208]

Does that heat everything in the house? Does the heat pipes run underground?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, it heats the house and the pipes run underground to the house. It also heats the dry kiln when it is in operation

[@gary24752]

Ok what was the different way you spit wood?

[@donelookin3386]

I mostly have trained saddle horses, every discipline from western and reining to jumpers and dressage, even some eventers... I also have broke out some driving horses, a few arabs to cutters and buggies and some daft horses but I have never used blinkers on their bridles?? Do you always us blinkers??

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

yes, I do. I prefer them

[@ericcurzi2926]

I noticed that the end of your tugs have a hook, no heel chains. What is this kind of tugs called

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

My heel chains are hitch to the eveners

[@markstoll9636]

Ive been meaning to ask. i noticed your horses stand on an elevated wooden floor. what is the purpose of this? thx

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

There is concrete underneath, so I had to make it that high. It keeps the actual stalls cleaner because the is a place for the manure to drop

[@freebird1ification]

hows buck doing with the new feed ?

[@richardlarade8062]

how much does a pair of these horses go for in your neck of the woods sir

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Probably 8-10 grand

[@janetbieser1273]

Is there some reason that draft horses are not stabled in loose box stalls? And is there a reason that they don’t have free choice water available ( obviously not when hot from working) . Is the husbandry different from standard horses.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

A lot of draft horses are stabled in box stalls,but I prefer straight stalls and my horses are used to them and I think quite comfortable in them. Water would freeze in my barn,but I water them regularly.You could check out an earlier video called My Top 5 Feeding Practices.
