  • Trying out the new Dyna SC-16 Firewood Processor to see how much wood we can cut and split over a short period of time. We also used the Ford L9000 tri axle dump truck and the F-750 single axle dump to move all the wood home.

    My interest in this channel started when somehow this video for a pond build ended up in my feed. Through your videos, I was introduced to a lifestyle that felt so different than my fast paced, Southern California life. I have come to love watching your videos and your commitment to your family, your community and hard work. These virtues I understand now is the connection. No matter if you are in Indiana or California, these virtues are universal. Your videos have now become one of my daily routines and I look forward to my Sunday morning coffee and a new Dig, Drive, DIY video. Thank you for all the time, energy and effort you and your family put into making us all feel a little more connected. Well done Koch’s. By the way, love the hats, they fit a big head!!!!!

      Thank you for the very kind words. We find a great deal of value in those virtues as you mentioned. I'm glad you found enjoyment from these little videos, and it's always humbling to hear about someone from a different walk of life watching and following along. Thanks again.

      Same here. Have no idea why or how his pond build ended up in my feed but our family loves watching. It’s definitely a breath of fresh air compared to what else is going on in the world! Love this channel!

      And me as well. I was going through some hard times and binge watching your videos (starting with the pond videos and then going back to the beginning) was a key ingredient to finding my footing again. Thanks, Neil 🙂

  • @drive42
    @drive42 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    You could stack a lot of wood in a 20' shipping container. Just stick the end of the belt in the end of the box and have a couple nephews stack the logs as they come off the belt. I think a 20' box would hold close to 10 cords.
    We used to cut a couple stacked heaping pickup loads of wood every month or so when I was a kid. We did everything the hard way except for having a hydraulic splitter and good chainsaws. That firewood processor makes it look easy.

  • @karik7579
    @karik7579 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I have very fond memories of going out as a family to "make" wood. We had a wood burning stove in the basement that we used to supplement heat the house. We would go through 2-5 cord or wood a season.

    @samsdoinstuff 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

    The amount of time a processor saves is invaluable and the rental option seals it, BUT... the help is what really counts. There's no way one person could run all of that, make repairs, keep the machine fed, etc, etc... the crew are your most valuable assets 😁👍

    Punky. No. I understood you without explanation and I live in Nova Scotia CA. I saw you thanking your father. I'm not quite as mature as he, but I feel certain your Dad thanks you also. There's nothing more important when you're older, when you're retired...as keeping active, being useful, feeling useful. And I'm sure he does.

    I grew up in Southern California where my parents heat the house with citrus, oak and Avocado wood. My dad definitely used ‘punky wood’ to describe when it started to rot! Love watching with my 7 and 9 year old in Missouri and weirdly reminds me of home ( except the snow!)

    @erikmiller6724 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I think you should make a dedicated wood trailer. Like an old landscape with high sides. You process and stack it into the trailer then back it into that nook between the buildings and load the burner directly from the trailer.

    Good to see Mr. Koch is on the mend. That's nice Dyna saw your previous video and made improvements to the version for you to try out. Shows they're a good company whom pays attention to content producers. Might be on to something with using those plastic containers for catching the sawdust. Almost have to think that a dryer pipe, HVAC boot, and some bolts could reduce the dust mess.

  • @williamkhatchell620
    @williamkhatchell620 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    That Dyna firewood processor was nice, I always did by chainsaw and maul, by hand and took all summer to build up the wood pile. But always had plenty of wood. Glad your dads doing good.

  • @sassafrasvalley1939
    @sassafrasvalley1939 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    That processor is a beast! The joint aches and muscle strains it saves could put my masseuse out of a job!
    The answer is, “Yes. I’ve lost an oil cap. And true to Dave’s addendum to Murphy’s Law… it did so at the worst possible time.”
    Our grandson was coming over so that we could take his Senior year photos. One of the scenes that he wanted was to sit on my homemade bridge over Sassafras Valley’s Gully. To get the right perspective, I needed to trim a few limbs off the trees.
    I was still in my business casual clothes from work… the 028 Stihl needed gas and oil. It has screw caps that require the scrench to loosen them and snug them back after filling. Newer saws have the snap lock type cap that doesn’t require tools.
    You know where this is heading… evidently, I forgot to snug the caps after I filled them. I cut the first few limbs at about waist height. By the time I got to those at chest level the gas cap was weeping and the oil cap popped out in mid cut.
    I haven’t a clue whatever combination of chemicals are in the mixed fuel and bar oil. But, I can assure you that you won’t be finding a guarantee on any stain removal product that’s sold retail… and, when it seeps inside your new dress shoes you’ll instantly have a pair ready for light yard work!
    Glad you got that wood processed… now you can play a little ice hockey with the girls. Enjoy!!!

    • @digdrivediy
      @digdrivediy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh boy! Fortunately I haven't had a set of good clothes fall victim to the loose oil cap, but now every set of Carhartt bibs I own bear the mark of the 036!
      The funny part is that it can happen without noticing sometimes. Seems impossible.
      We did get some ice skating in. Only problem is we took for granted that we'd have skates for everyone this year! Turns out the girls had to wear Mom and Dad's skates so I was just a spectator for this first round.
      Amazon should fix the skate shortage issue, but now we just need another cold snap!
      Have a great week!

    Tip if you have a forklift, You can stack the wood on wooden surfaces, huge pile on the field next to where you processed the logs and a few next the wood shed. Stack only once.

    Glad dad is doing well ! A trick i was taught with the tall converyor stackers at work and the crusher itself in the winter is to clean it up as best you can , then get a pump sprayer , fill it with RV antifreeze and spray down rollers and stuff that is tough to acess with it at the end of the day . It makes life so much easier the next morning on.cold cold winter days

    Just discovered this channel within the past week and since then have watched the pond go in and a number of other videos. I assumed you were a trust fund baby with millions of dollars to play with while watching the first video. I quickly realized how wrong I was and instead you are a product of hard work, persistence, intelligence, creativity, a willingness to try things, and a great family. Great site.

    You mentioned you wanted to reduce the manual handling of the firewood. We use the metal grids for IBC-containers and dump the wood in them. Put som 4x4" on top and you can stack them on top of each other. An opening on one side of around 16"x12" to get the wood out also helps.

    @Jeff-ov2qy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Back in the day I got a bunch of IBC totes and took the plastic out of them, they were similar to the one you cut up for the sawdust. They were pretty cheep and the local landfill was happy to take the plastic as long as I cut them up in somewhat small pieces. The bins rounded over would hold a 1/4 cord. I hauled them around with my 257. The only time I handled the wood by hand was throwing them through a trap door into my woodbin in the cellar and feeding the boiler. They are perfect for setting them out into a open area to dry the wood as well. The less I could handle firewood the better I felt about burning wood. Stay warm

    My setup for firewood consists of a small chainsaw and a wheelbarrow.
    Great video and greetings from Germany

    I'm glad your dad is doing well after breaking his hip. My dad broke his hip in November 2022, when he was 83. He recovered well from it, but in the process of being in the hospital, they found he had a bad heart valve and a bladder stone the size of a chicken egg. It took about 10 months to get everything taken care of, but he now has a new heart valve (made with pig tissue) and his bladder stone removed. He's doing very well, all things considered.
    Very cool to see how all of you teamed up to tackle that wood! That was a lot!

    Hey Neil. Great to see your dad in good order. Top content this week, again. Punky is definitely a word used just the same here in the UK too 👍

    BlufftonReiff here. So I’ve lost the Gas cap, didn’t realize it until the saw died and ended my day. I never did find it in the foot of snow (my retainer line was broken). Yes my leg looked very similar. lol! Your family coming behind you to support you warms my heart on this cold Indiana morning. Great legacy at work up there in Harlan. Thanks for the Sunday installment!!!

    Growing up in central Michigan, I know well what it means to process a lot of trees into firewood without the benefit of the advanced technology you showcased in this video. Again and again, you take the most mundane tasks and turn them into events that are utterly fascinating to watch. It's so cool to see family pitching in to help out with the big jobs. Love watching your content, Neil. Thanks for all you do to remind us all what it means to be part of a family that pitches in to help one another.

    We built holders for mini bulk bags. The ones we have hold 1/3 cord each you may be able to get larger ones, as we sell wood the 1/3 work very well.

    Good one Neil!! Stacking saves 20-25% on space ... fact. So if you switch to totes you will need extra room for storage.... Always a trade off !! action reaction...

    Hey Neil; enjoying watching all your efforts in the snow while I’m sitting back in the aircon while it’s really how and humid here in Queensland, Australia. I love watching what you get up to, especially today when you mentioned looking to find a method for handling all the cut wood once you’ve dumped it in your storage area ;I was instantly reminded of Riley on Ambition Strikes, where I saw he used the frames from those big white water totes ( like you cut up for the sawdust in this episode),; you can see lots of them stacked at or about the 17 minute mark on his video “Finishing Our DIY Container Workshop, Part 5”. Once stacked, he can just move them with the forklift…. Maybe that’s a workable idea for you. Best wishes……love the farming info for “ city-slicker” me.

    I use the same bar oil you do although in the winter time it is sick. If you don’t let it get real low keep filling it. The heat from the saw will thin it out just fine.
