How To Build A Single Log Bridge 2

[@julianreiter2627]

I don´t like it when people ask for Like´s or Comment´s, because it feels so much like they are begging. But you asked so nice, and you seem so passionate about your work. You can never really trust anyone about feelings like this, but I have the impression that there´s a lot of heart in this Bridge. I really appreciate such things. Keep going, and stay healthy.

Wranglerstar ..... I'm doing the commenting at the 4:40 bit where you asked us to :-) The bits of mettle that you weren't sure of the name, in the last episode, that you have settled on calling "crevise's" are call Shackles. I think you have them a bit crossed with carabiners. On the subject of dragging trees or other objects, what you said about keeping your attachment point low was great. What would suggest is shortening the cable (this can be just by rapping the cable round the frost bite a few times before conecting the cable back on itself, that way you still have a long cable when needed) by at least half and attaching to the very bottom of the of the Frost Bite. This means you can raise and lower the Frost Bite to lift the log over objects or to try to shift the weight from the back of the tractor to the front (if you have engaged 4 wheel drive) to aid traction. Alternatively, you could bring the cable to an anchor on another tree, (just put a lifting strop or sling round the tree and secure with a shackle to act as a pulley) that is more in line with the log then you can attach to the tractor and pull from a different direction that allows the tractor to stay level. This can also mean that the anchor on the tree can be placed higher to lift the front of the log as it's being dragged. I hope this can help in the future :-)

I just got done working outside all day today and I find it relaxing to watch you solve your homestead problems, Cody!

[@zackmtz7966]

I enjoy your vids so much. I am a General Contractor from Northern New Mexico and your my inspiration for one day owning a little piece of heaven in the woods. I own a few acres of dry land and one day my goal is to own even a small piece of forest land to build on so I can teach my sons what I was thought growing up on the Ranch. Thank you for the insight to your great life and family. God bless...

[@bigjlee2]

Cody I think God has brought me to your channel to show me what i been missing in my life your a real man of god and a inspiration I want tyo learn more and more so I can one day bring my family into a homestead style of life they truely deserve

[@TomosAvis]

Hey Cody, I told you around 8 months ago on one of your livestreams that you had inspired me to apply to become a firefighter in the UK. Tomorrow I start my first training module on pumps and ladders. Thanks for the inspiration, entertainment and friendship.

[@MotorcycleMouse]

What you were saying about the fall line and safety is so true. My grandfather recently died when a tree that he was pulling in this manner rolled on him and flipped him and he was pinned underneath the machine. The guy that was with him said he was praying and knew he wasn’t going to live because he lives so far out in the woods. He died just a few minutes later. Had the guy that was with him knew about the flip flop winch who knows but it’s not on him and my grandfather knew where he was going. Good video keep it up. God bless

[@Goolio2020]

Hello from New Jersey! Love your videos. I'm a homesteader at heart on my 1/4 acre in the suburbs of NYC. I have a vegetable garden, split lots of firewood etc. I've learned a great deal watching Wranglerstar. Thank you!

[@wazup1234567891]

Let’s get mr. Wranglerstar up to a million subscribers. He definitely deserves it

[@nathangranger92]

It's such a good thing to see content on KZbin that is wholesome and refreshing, unlike much that can be seen on other more mainstream channels

[@jeremielandry9342]

I really enjoy watching your videos! You always make great content and I am always excited to see your next video. I came across your channel a few years ago by accident. I saw your video cutting down the big tree I believe it was a Douglas fir that was shading your garden. I was fascinated the use of axes and crosscut saws to take down the tree. I loved how you all worked as a family. I think truly, in the end, your family working together as a team and your great content was what drew me to your channel. You have an amazing property and I look forward to building my own off-grid homestead on my new property. You are truly an inspiration to us all. God has truly blessed you with a beautiful property to be the steward of and a tractor to make the work easier. Keep up the amazing content. God Bless.

[@codyp6271]

Hey Cody, why not run a chain around the trunk the two feet of slack and chain the other end to frost bite? You could lift the trunk a little off the ground and not have to worry about the hood. Or did you use the hood to make a more interesting video?

[@andrewkolopack957]

12 minutes and 15 seconds of a tractor pulling a log, loved every second of it!

[@xfarmkidjon7945]

Turn that tractor around an pull the way they are engineered to pull. It will pull way more forward than it will in reverse - also by hooking to the end loader your changing the weight ratio on the rear tires.

[@coinbad]

I went on Amazon a while back and checked out the Gransfors Bruk axes. Pretty spendy. Then I went the Duluth Pack website, and for the most part they were significantly cheaper. Great tools and well worth the price, but I like to save money when/where I can. I have two heritage axes that I'll be handing down to my children. Since I have more than two children, I guess I'll just have to buy more axes!

[@iandriver9746]

Your wisdom remids me of my grandfather who passed away last year. Keep up the great work thanks for what you do Cody!

[@kfouts2]

Never really knew about Yanmar until you introduced me. What a wonderful tool! My wife has a speech impediment. She says, "Tool" it sounds like she is saying, "Toy."

[@codespace1337]

Using the school bus hood as a sled to keep the log from digging in was really clever. This video definitely gave me some food for thought on whether I should pick up a tractor for my own homestead.

[@runwillrobinson]

You certainly have accomplished a lot with that tractor! What a great tool.

[@JessHines]

I learn something every time! When I finally get my own homestead, land, and tractor, I'll at least already have some great wisdom to draw on!

[@mr.t3p357]

I have been hooked on your channel since September 10th 2010 And today was the first day that I posted a comment Earth brother

[@mr.t3p357]

I have two questions first one have you hit the lottery again Have you thought of painting your truck racing Orange and have a flag painted on the roof of your cab? lol ( I remember and patiently waiting for the next episode of Dukes of Hazzard) Earth brother

[@bbgunner5664]

I live in the desert and I love trees! Thank you brother. GOD bless you and yours.

[@jkrug5000]

I had no idea you could pick up that big of a log with your tractor. Modern machinery is simply amazing.

[@paulsaunders8457]

Mechanical knowledge ,Physics and just pure common sense make you a pretty awesome operator

[@mst5632]

I learned three golden nuggets from this one video. Thank you very much, as always, Cody. God bless and have a great week!

[@joolwing]

I am most impressed by your ability to drive the tractor and your drone at the same time!

[@ozarkbound]

I've said it before, but that tractor is amazing. I'm happy for you man, it looks like a joy to work with.

[@cadenperry2330]

These videos are so entertaining! They are teaching me things and making me want to have a life like yours. Logging and such might not be glamorous but I'd sure like it.

[@CaseyHarrisSr]

After a few days of hoping you all were safe and healthy, so nice to see you back in action and safe.

[@johnmontague69]

Tractor with cab, keep the heat in and also nobody will embarrass you for listening to stars on 45 8track tapes so long as you keep the windows closed! 😃 lol. That is a powerful little machine, I way under estimated it's lifting and towing capabilities. I'm well impressed with that Yanmar. Would a log that size put the tractor on it's limits? Your a good operator Cody, nice and easy no quick unnecessary movements to put you in danger. Nice job man ☺

[@SuperCidermonkey]

Your land is looking so healthy with all the work you've done there. Fantastic job and great video, TY.

[@snomobila]

and by the way I love my old 1946 ford 8n tractor!! its only 2wd but I have no problem plowing snow with it, and it gives me the fizz every time I drive it, it really says something when a tractor from the 40's is still running like a dream and working. Ford also made a heated seat mod and cab mod you could add on down the road, they are pretty neat! There are still lots of 8N/9N guys around

[@Doco72]

What a great video. Not only must you work hard physically but your multiple camera angles, drone shots and editing must take a great amount of your time too. I'm truly impressed by your efforts and appreciate watching your quality videos.

[@beaverrick9789]

I've done this a hundred times, I'm always impressed on how much small equipment can lift. Always keep it low to the ground, the extreme weight can twist the loader if if gets bouncing .

[@OnyxNexus]

As a city guy: I really enjoy these videos :) Hope everyone's having a lovely day

[@carllind949]

Not fair he has green stubble and I am still getting snow.

[@PowerSportsGarage]

Im impressed with how easy that tractor picked up that log. Very nice!!

[@brandonpollok2277]

Wranglerstar, you are so right about getting a cab when buying a tractor. This winter I had to road my John Deere 70 kilometers to my cabin and it was -25 Celsius. Wish I had a cab...

[@jackreeves3001]

Lot of fun. I look forward to all your videos.

[@mudfly12]

cody, I know this worked for you but loaders are not designed to be pulled on like that. take the brush hog off and pull with your drawbar. you will put way less stress on your tractor and it is generally safer.

[@prescribedfire1953]

Hi Cody. When I was a kid in the 60s and spending my summers on a ranch we used a car hood for the same type of work. The differences were that we had a couple of hoods from the 30s and the 40s. The shape was perfect. Also I never heard them called hoods. The were always referred to as a "stone boats". Great narration as always. BTW I've done some horse logging. I stick to diesel powered machines now a days.

[@Chico-td2fy]

I love that frostbite...claw...tractors are great tools...I have an old Ford 3500 fel/bh still works great. Keep up the good work....thanks!

[@davidpeters7521]

glad to see your snow is gone ours came back we have ice and snow today good job moving the log we were going to move one on Wednesday but that's out I think thanks for all you do

[@chiefof]

Interesting and well-done video. The frogs in the background, especially at the end, were a treat to hear and brought back pleasant memories for me.

[@johnmontague69]

I don't read all the comments but I do skip down as many as I can and hit the thumb up on them. And so should all subscribers do the same to keep this beautiful channel in the game. take a moment and THUMBS UP 👍👍👍 as many comments as yous can ☺

[@James-clarke]

I must say your videos are very high quality

[@johnrenterprises2604]

I absolutely enjoy all your tractor vids. Agree on the 4X4 advice. I have a John Deere that is 2WD and it does pretty good but when I am on a grade I have to be very careful. The price and condition of the used tractor just made me have to get it. If I ever buy a new tractor it will be in 4XD.

[@odg777garzod]

You’re videos are honestly great to watch

[@DanPalmer79]

Thanks for reminder on the thumbs up! I stream to my TV and it's not as easy to hit it while watching. I watch all of your uploads and have a bad habit of not showing the love! Great content as always Cody.

[@CristianoNogueiraBushcraft]

I've used 65hp, 2 wheel drive tractors all all my life, and would have towed that log hooked behind my Massey Ferguson, notícias in the front. Thanks for showing another way.

[@MrBobrossftw]

Neat trick with the hood. When I used to cut brush we just picked the trees out of the ditch with an excavator so digging in wasn't a problem 🤣🤣🤣. Though you will learn the correct way to put a slip in a chain quick if you happen to be the dork in the ditch!

[@darinrhein2730]

Glad to see more of the back to basics and forestry videos. Keep up the outstanding work!

[@Justintime8510]

That sure is one heck of a tractor. You are blessed to have the use of it!

[@mr.t3p357]

That was pure genius using the car hood to keep from ripping up your topsoil Earth brother👍

[@kgs2127]

Enjoy all the different subjects you cover!

[@davidmack7018]

This one is Great! Loved the uphill, and your play by play, EXCELLENT, talk about strong hydraulics also audio tree frogs chirp croaking sweet. Great video two thumbs up. One of your best, Ah springtime in the North West. Atta Boy. to me one of your best, thanks David

[@shanewaldon7604]

Nice camera work! Loving the series so far. Thank you for all of your time and energy invested, it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. I could watch this for hours. Just wish I was there to lend a helping hand. Much love to the Wranglerstar family, aloha.

[@mitchellstump6730]

4x4 and a cab are amazing for sure. That being said, 2wheel isn't useless. My grandfather made his living in Iowa as a farmer and he did "most" of his work using old Oliver tractors. And it gets cold/windy/snowy in Iowa! He was SUPER excited with the first White tractor he bought though that had duel rears and a cab lol.

[@maehay4065]

Awesome job Cody ❣️Even the hood got a good workout on that huge log!! You are teaching so many wonderful things to young & old alike since I fall in the latter group I have to confess when I first got hooked on KZbin DIY projects I started watching your videos from many years ago, then when I caught up to the present videos I realized I kinda felt like maybe should have watched the new video series first but that’s how much I enjoyed and appreciate all the hard work you and your family made Wranglerstar such a great channel to watch and learn how to start with the basics and then learn how to use more modern tools as well ❣️👍👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@GlenRickerd]

What a beast! Amazed at what that tractor will do! Great rigging lessons. Fascinating.

[@HahaBumble]

Working outdoors is the most rewarding experience

[@tedupham3699]

My family and I love watching everything you put out. Thank you so much fo what you do!!

[@4helex]

the videography keeps getting better and better!

[@budworl2687]

Keep the videos coming,your channel is one of the few with worthwhile content.

[@iirokangas3434]

When I enjoy watching you work I often think "wow, how does Cody get so much done when he keeps moving the cameras and setting up drones and all that goes into making such high quality content". I have admired your work, family and persona for a few years now, and I hope to continue for many more. Best Regards, Iiro

[@heathersanborn4914]

Love the cj hood skidd, another tip if someone is trying to roll a log or just about anything else is placement and direction of the chain or cables choke, if the choke is not set correctly then it will not sinch tight and not that you were doing it wrong but another tip , when lifting something like a log with a grapple or a bucket full of sand or stone especially on a hill the higher it is lifted the more unstable and prone to a rollover the machine becomes

[@lm91169]

Awesome real world working homestead..love it keep up the good work...may the Lord Bless thee and keep thee.

[@clay10fd13]

I enjoy your videos it’s nice to see someone who still takes the time for quality thank you!

[@aaronjunes1739]

Just wanted to say I bought myself a 940 Osborn and I love it. I took the clip off and carry it deep pocket.

[@duanevanwinkle3488]

That was quite a pull...Does your tractor have a faster speed?

[@nathanbrady568]

Hey Cody, I’m a farmer in Kentucky, I’m assuming you know this but tractor tires pull forwards the best, the traction is nearly doubled when going forward. I hope you see this

[@willierants5880]

Never ceases to amaze me how versatile that Yanmar is. It's a sweet tractor.

[@saadikram8546]

love from Pakistan 19 years old kid absolutely love your content

[@matthewbenney70]

That would be an amazing series!! "Things man can accomplish with a tractor!!!" Look forward to seeing it ;)

[@teknasutra]

Your sharing with us is beyond splendid. You teach so many to fish...

[@krisdeere4097]

love ur channel. i live on a farm in norway and ur a big inspiration for me.i think u should get a rear mounted winch for ur tractor that u could use to lift the front off the trees up and drag them easier. it have helped me a tonn i have used winches as longe as i can remamber and would not live without one.

[@mccallthompson]

Thanks for the awesome work Cody!! Have a great week!

[@jackbartell3559]

Thank you sir, you're definitely a big influence to me.

[@jorgenrangen348]

Enjoying this series, keep up the good work.

[@johnhunter273]

Nice drone work! Love the frogs in the background. Can't believe the chains are off the tractor already. It's only April!

[@JCLandscaper88]

I am ashamed to say I was doubting that tractor. I am really impressed by it's power.

[@GRDray]

Great job Cody. I like the use of the yellow hood.And I love that tractor. Take care. God Bless.

[@on_another_level5661]

Wow! I'm impressed with that tractor/frostbite picker. It held that weight well! Good job friend.

[@igo4snow]

I kept worrying you would do something like I would and back into a tree with that brush hog. Great job!

[@Mellchior]

Just wanted to say that I love your videos.

[@jackgibson1644]

You are so close to 1 million subscribers cody. Carry on with your great videos

[@bobheurlin6521]

Having dinner and watching. Love it!! Wish I could be there to help.

[@rcfarmer5289]

Hi Cody I would do what you can to widen the wheelbase on the tractor , often you can just flip the hubs around, but it looks like yours are already at maximum maybe spacers are available from yanmar it would help you a lot with stability in the hills and high speed cornering lol love your work

[@zebrapetey9746]

I don't have a tractor, a tree or a yard. Keep up with the Good Work 😎

[@stevehenkel354]

Appreciate the blow-by-blow, why you do it this way, why you shouldn't do it a different way. Was cool to see the log get pulled up on the hood. Somehow I just saw it pushing the hood ahead of it, but nope. Came right up. That hood has come in handy for a lot of things. Thanks for taking the time to let us see every angle. Also love what sounded like frogs at the end there. 🙂

[@harleyniedzielski3525]

I can not get enough of this channel love the videos keep em rolling

[@jupesus]

Hey there from Mother Russia. A lot interesting I found in your videos, thanks!

[@MrPhillerup]

Very nice tractor, and well equipped. Life would be a lot easier with that around.

[@TheSwamppilot]

Thanks for another great video Cody. I could not agree more about the usefulness of a tractor.

[@Calebthelowber]

Don't be afraid to purchase off wranglermart too! I'm going to finally upgrade my 2 lb GB Montreal axe for a small forest axe, after the persistent praise from Cody.

[@halnywiatr]

When this is put in place will it separated from the soil by stones, or otherwise? Nothing shortens the life of wood like soil contact.

[@mikecox3659]

Looks like you might be visiting one of my heros again, Clint Smith. All the best!

Glad this is back it's been to long thanks cody

[@MrLance931]

Episode two of let’s drag a log around with the tractor .😂😂😂

[@dawidslater6786]

Nice video. It sounds so peaceful there at the end with all the forest noises.

[@107retired]

I hope we all understand what goes into this...the making of the videos, but we know too what an income it can provide. So it’s a far trade off...not EVERY day is a video day however, this type of content will keep us coming. I had unsubscribed, until I watch the bridge pt.1 video and heard the commentary...and now I’ve subscribed again. I’m still jealous but I’m all about the learning...basics...
