HI ,no problem Simon ,when animals happy ,I'm happy to

Thanks Simon, you had a productive week, remember to put the cost factor in on saving your back.

That all worded out great . Sorry I'm late getting to watch this but my birthday was last wensday and I took a short vacation in Indiana for a prospector meeting and just got home at 5am and took a nap . Left indy at 3pm and got home at 505am. Have a great day Simon off to mow my yard

Sounded like maybe 1800 rpm's. That tractor would run for years at that speed.

I really enjoyed that. Always a pleasure to see you controlling things with just your fingers! Some big trees there. So glad I didn’t bite your bum too much. See you in 6 weeks mate.

Nice to see you get rid of the snow up there, Simon. I like the tractor trailer with the grapler, it saves you a ton of hard back-breaking work. I am planning to build a grapler to use on my front loader. I hope you have some nice, wårm weather up in Lappland too, here in Drammen we have very warm temperatures, and I love it. On our independence day, the 17th of May, Drammen had the warmest 17th of May ever measured in Norway, with about 25 degrees. We deserve a warm summer after the cold, snowy winter he he. Take care, Simon - I look forward to your next video. Greetings from Norway, best wishes Asle

The Chanel should handle thoes logs, mabye need to check and adjust the pressure reliefvalve? Let the chickens out, they wont leave the yard.

...trees...plural is not possessive

Hi Simon! Another great video. I always enjoy your content. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. I know it can be a lot of work. Cheers from northern Michigan!

You have a log grapple! Next to a mini excavator, that's the one machine I'd like to try. I'd even like to build a wooden manual mechanical one just to pick up branches in the yard. Have a good Spring and Summer.

As usual Simon you did a great work got the job done, and your still standing an not snivelling about the Back like we do normally 😂 that little diesel is burning about 3. lts an hour so I think it a big win win situation. Glad to see you smiling and getting a win for a change ❤ with all this faster turnaround time the Mrs. will see more of you 😊😊hope it’s a good thing 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣 till text time keep it upwards 😏

Howdy Simon- at my age l would use the forest trailer for all l could get out of it to save my body, which is the only one l was given and I have to make it last a long time. It’s amazing how much the snow has melted and the forest floor can be seen again. Hope all is well and you have a wonderful summer. Take care and God bless

Hi Simon Another Brilliant Video Job Well Done Hope You Are All Well a Happy Please Take Care From Blue

Smokes talk about a weather change😎just some weeks ago showeling snow. Now here you are with no jacket and no snow🤠 keep up the good work.

I just love to see how you use every inch of practicality to do the most with the least! I have a feeling you use more common sense in a second than many others use in a decade... or more! Ultimately the machines are helping you save labour... and your back! Happy weekend Sarah, Simon... hound, chickens, worms and friends!! Stay safe, warm and free!! PS - I need to get there to help... even if it is just to keep your coffee brewing and served!! PPS - That's a more than half decent pile of logs you have there! I'm looking forward to the mill getting into action!!

Looks strange not seeing all the snow around. Should make some work easier.

🤠👍 Hmpfh! Are you beginning to sound like a grumpy old man? Ah No! Must be mosqitos in your mic. Take care, stay safe and give your Sarah a big hug from me.

awesome homestead!

Nice video again. Perhaps a silly question: is it possible you hit yourself with a tree while you operate the crane?

Another great video Simon. Thanks for sharing 👍

Oh wedge the end of your stack so it doesnt fall and hurt ir kill you if walking by seen videos of log piles rolling down not good .

How many hours are on the Volvo woods tractor since the last engine rebuild? Your hydraulic pump may also be ready for a rebuild. If ya use equipment, there is always something that needs fixing. The log pile is looking nice! Looking forward to the MF rebuilding.

It's probably difficult to find a used winch suitable for that crane. But old wire cranes or skidding winches for mounting on the hydraulic lift are more available and often quite cheap. Bigger and better winches too than those small crane mounted ones.

Idea for winching get one of the log dollies wheels for logs so people who dont have a tractor can use your atv to tke them out

On your loader do you have auxiliary hydrolic attachments if you do why not make a poor mans graple for the forks easier to hold them whrn taking them off also tow your trailer with your loader use the loader for the hydraulic graple arm may have the power to lift more or change out the hydrolic pump . These are only suggestions subject to availability and dollars which are very hard to come by these days . Awesome channel until the next video be safe enjoy the good days . 😀

I was going to ask you about you using the boom to unload the logs ,but you beat me to it with the answer lol

Exactly..1,5 hours contra 2-2.5 days.. easy pick if you ask me.. no, the crane aren't the most powerful, but the alternative is lifting by your oncey.. as Cpt. Sparrow said🤪 No, take your time, let the great equipment you have in the 2254 and the Forest Trailer do their thing, have a coffee when done and enjoy the fantastic weather.. ( even with the bloomin' bugs) 1.5 hours.. yeah.. that's in and out like a fiddlers elbow compared with the snow machine and your bare hands👍 Have a great weekend my friend, take care and all the best to you and yours👌

Simon you are looking better than usual, healthy. I hope your back isn’t giving you too much trouble. Always watching from Panama City Florida USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !

Hey, great job, cranes no matter size is a great tool🤠 does your tractor have 4wd only in the low range? Anyhow pretty useless with 2wd.

Good days work Simon! Have you ever considered an atv with a track kit? For spring and fall conditions that is. Ta hand om er!

Love that Volvo and your hard work 👍🏻

Howdy Simon- so glad to see you out with the tractor and log trailer. I’m sure your back is happy as well. Not having to lift the logs is a blessing in itself. Hope all is well with you and Ms Sarah. Have a great weekend my friend. God bless

Hello, Simon. The road is not a sheet of ice yet. Good to see you. Be safe

That tractor in log grapple has made a huge difference for you Simon

👍

What a bliss.. no more backbraking lifts, the loads can be bigger, and the hydraulics do most of the job.. NICE👍 A great purchase and nothing but an asset to the business😄 Hope you'll get a lot of years out of the good old 2254👌Have a great weekend buddy, all the best to you and yours.. and of course to the little furball🐶

Thanks So Much Simon For This Great Video Another Load Of Work Out Of The Way But I Do Think How Your Poor Back Is Feeling Hope You Are Not Suffering To Much Well Give My Love To Your Family an As Usual Please Stay Safe From Blue

That was a lot of work. Great tools you have. Good there was no traffic :)

Thanks Simon... always enjoy spending my time out there with you! Great to see the equipment working well and saving your back! Have a great weekend up there!

Nice nice day to get some wood good job on the hydraulic.thanks for the video say hi to the family ❤😊

Thanks Simon, very productive day with the tractor forwarder. Now you got me in the mood to go out and process some firewood. Take care.

🤠👍!

32:15 A bit more choke and she would have started.

Now we talk heavy snow,🤠

Would it be possible to drive upwards without plowing, turn, and drive downwards with plowing?

Got to love the oh s*** moments😂. But the question is is how much wood or Timber are you allowed to take out of there

The good old faithful girl did the job yet again Simon! That was a pretend high gradient more noticeable coming down. Yup! Would have more that pooped myself on that scare 😂😂😂. Stunning scenery, blue sky and loving the forest. Thank you Simon and best wishes to you all.❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪.

My goodness Simon….for sure interesting content…..having a melt, Kasper loosing his long locks, removing the tarps…..followed up by days with snow plowing! Then get the snowmobile out for some logs…..super content, had many laughs, loved bopping along to the music and a number of wows’! Thank you. Wishing the lovely Sarah, beautiful Charlotte and handsome Simon a wonderful weekend together.❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪

OMG - you still have a lot of snow left Simon. Here, in the southern part of Norway the snow melted away almost a month ago, eben if we got much snow this winter. I took a long walk with my dog in the forest yesterday, and the ground was not even wet. But if you get warm weather I am sure the snow will melt away very fast in your place. Take care Simon, and greetings from Norway.
