Pulling Ash Firewood In The Woods/SWAMP? Printing Cash
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Salvaging more Ash to split after the Emerald Ash Borer devastated our ash trees. Most of the mature ash in Michigan has been dead for a while and some of it is starting to get punky. We battle the rain soaked woods with the Massey Ferguson 35 and the DR Log Trailer to fill up our N&N dump trailer so we have some more wood to run through our All Wood and Eastonmade splitters! Roadside stands will be filled shortly!
We are heading down to Indiana to work with many other TH-cam channels at the Hoosier Firewood Hysteria, hosted by Mike from KNL Firewood to split wood for the veterans!
Don't miss our next video upload when we will reveal our new LOG SPLITTER!
The Massey is a great example of slow and steady gets the job done.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching.
She’s beautiful!🩷
Thanks Frank!
You are a fortunate man to have Rachael work side by side with you.
Thank you Otis I agree!
Love that massey tractor old is gold
It has much more power than I thought it would have!
@Hard Working Man when things where made proper, im sounding old 🤣🤣, probably be a good retirement fund in years to come, keep up the good work sir you and rachel.
Thank you.
Great video Heath and Rachel
Thanks Kevin!
Got an old massey 135 myself, I'd be lost out here without that tractor she has saved my back countless times.
Definitely, once you own a tractor you wonder how you ever got by without one!
Great video that DR trailer is really nice.
I love this DR trailer. it does so much more than I expected
Great video! It takes me back to my grandparents farm when I was a kid! I learned to drive on a Massey Ferguson 35. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
You’re welcome Frank, glad you enjoyed the show and thanks for watching and commenting!
You can’t go wrong with Massey Ferguson,have a blessed evening
Thank you! You as well
Good for you ! Lot of folks dont know anything BOUT" Cooking and heating.
Thanks Andrew, I love cooking with wood as well as heating! We just did some pizzas on the grill tonight with some Oak we chunked up.
Most people don't truly understand how much time and effort it takes to harvest, split, and stack wood for resale or personal use; is just plain old hard work!!!
Tom, agreed 100%. It’s the crazies out there who think it’s fun that make it happen lol.
Wow if all the women in Michigan look like Rachael, I’m moving to Michigan lol. You guys are a great team, love those old tractors.
Oh Roger, you’re funny😂
Sorry Roger, I can assure you all of the women in Michigan do not look like or work like Rachel lol. Thanks for the comment!
Love watching us guys work together . Great video
Thank you for watching!
Thanks we have a lot of fun out there!
hard working man ...hard working woman more like it and stunning looking
Thanks Eamonn.
She operates that tractor good as any. Amazing woman.
Thanks Eddie! Definitely helps having her around and not afraid to work with me!
Great job driving the tractor through the swamp Rachel
Thanks Kevin! She rocks most things she try’s.
Thank you Kevin!
Man that tractor gets great traction! Glad you got some wood out👍👍
Yes it does, I was surprised.
Hello from Southeastern part of Kansas.
Hello, thanks for watching!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors you are welcome.
Great equipment there
Thanks Scott!
Rachel!!! Loving the longer hair!!!
Thanks, I agree!
Thank you! Me too❤
Hi folks i have done this for 58 yrs ...i heated with wood all my life used to cut for our kitchen stove and my grandmoms kitxhen stove and her fireplace insert ...and where i worked we had 3 stoves heating shops
I used to go with my dad when I was a kid to get wood sometimes. But then we went years without a wood stove. I put my first stove in about 14 years ago and have been cutting ever since!
You are correct Heath you can't beat a good running old tractor. I used to have a Ford 8N and I loved that thing. Always started and worked all day. Should have kept it. Rachel nice job did a great job driving that old girl.
Thanks Bill, and yes she did!
Great team work, thank you
Thank you Steven!
You should invest in a set of ring style tire chains.
I had an old Ford tractor in the mid -70's and started a firewood business in highschool to earn extra $$$ unfortunately the tractor came with bald tires and I couldn't afford new ones and my friends dad ran tire chains all year long because they're woods was a swamp all year and it was the only way to get through the woods to get firewood like your doing... Santa brought me a set of Ring chains one Christmas and my tractor never got stuck again.... good luck with your business and be careful with your backs.
Thank you, I have been keeping an eye out for some chains! Especially for winters.
I was nervous you weren't going to make it through the swap 😅 Nice work Heath and Rachel getting those ash rounds loaded. I am going to go back and watch episode 1. Take care and have a nice weekend 😊
I was nervous too Steve!
Thanks Steve! There were a few times we were wondering ourselves 😂
Good job guys, great Teamwork 🚜🪵👏👍🏼🇺🇸
Thank you!
Thanks! As you know, it’s much more fun working together!
Back at yah there guy's ! N.C east coast 4th generation..I have my Dad's old 63 Massey just like yours..We used it often on the farm for almost everything, bush-hoging, discing our land for crops, turning plows, lifting boom, even hauling out wood as you guy's are doing. Really has been a great tractor, hope yours will be as dependable as my Dad's..I still use it often on our land. I always liked ash firewood, but it is scarce around these areas. Appears you guy's have a great amount of it. Really gives off good heat also, burns really well too, drys faster than other hardwoods, not hard to saw or split, less abuse on equipment. 👍🙋
Thanks Alvin, this Massey has done nothing but impress so far! We do have a lot of ash but some of it is getting too punky now, we are working to save what we can!
Nice couple ❤
Thank you!
Those old sassy-Masseys just keep on going.
Yes, they do it impresses me every time I fire it up
Thank you very much a good videos.
Thank you!
Luv the hair an Jean's Rachel😁😍
Yes move to Wva an sell firewood yall would have yeareound work good $ Great food and a laid back
Life with sum great friends👍🏻
Thank you 😊
Maybe when I retire!
Hey Heath and Rachel , don’t know how I missed this video . The Massy is awesome and I really like the trailer !!!!
Thanks Del. Something about the old tractor. Love the trailer too.
We use to have a Massey 135 growing up !!
I keep my eye out for one of them lol.
Wow! Surprised the tractor didn't get stuck in all that mud. Keep up the good work!
Thanks we were surprised as well. The last load had me pretty nervous.
I love those old tractors, they are beasts. Good load of wood you guys got too, despite the mud. It's rained here in Maryland a bunch too, im so ready for monsoon season to be over 😂😂.
Have fun at the hysteria 🤘
Not the load we were hoping to get, but it was nice to get some ash out of the Woods. Couldn’t have done it without the Massey.
Rachel your into swamp logging now , must move to southern part off the USA 😊. don’t spin your tire on the tractor shouldn’t get stuck in the swamp. Massy fire right up on first spin off the engine good job set the timing heath .
Oh yeah lol
Thank you, leonard, my buddy Jason fixed her right up for me so the timing is good now.
Keith,when Rachel was driving the massy Ferguson it reminded me of green acres the old 📺 show ❤😮😊
A few people have mentioned that lol.
Dude I don't know what I'd do without my tractor , mine has a few years on the massey mine is a '41 9n that starts and runs like it's brand new
It’s amazing what you can get done with the tractor and these old ones run better than the new ones I swear
I have a 52 8n that’s starts better than a new car…it’s one tough machine…almost indestructible..lol..I use it to plow and mow all summer…
Rusty, this thing still runs great!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors they built them to last that’s for sure…no frills..just pure reliability…lol..
Sure like the tractor. I have an older version of that.
Thanks! These old tractors will never die!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors You got that right.
Definitely a muddy mess there hope you guys have a great time hopefully you get video when your there enjoy the weekend
Thanks David, yea it was. The Hoosier Firewood Hysteria was a lot of fun and a lot of work! We will get the video posted later this week.
Hard working man and women
Thanks Guy!
That lady works like my wife we don't burn firewood anymore she got tired of the smoke and smell i miss it .
Ted, memories made working together are priceless. I love the smell of a wood stove!
Love that old fergy
Thanks Chris! It’s impressed me so far with what it can do and how well it runs.
Great…. Now I need to find an old tractor. Actually been entertaining finding a Ford 8N, they are pretty reasonably priced. Great video you two! Hope you had a great time in Indiana, watching a week late. Take care and have a great day Around the Yard! - Brent
Thanks Brent, we’ve been impressed with our old Massey 35!
Playin' in the mud! Been there, done that. Not my favorite thing to do!! I've got a '52 Ford 8N, very close cousin to your Massey, and just like yours, it is surprising what it can do.
These tractors are impressive! And I’d rather not have to do this work in the mud either.
Big bums are awesome
Can’t argue with you there.
Pickaroons are the best tool. I made four of them. Not sure what the other tools you have there are , but I’ve got lots of uses for the pickaroons.
Sure is a nice Tractor.
Noel, we love our picaroons! The Husqvarna Log tongs come in handy too.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Log tongs. Thanks couldn’t think of the name.
Wow I dont see realtors on Only fans get that dirty ! great driving Rachel haha Great Channel keep up the great work
Haha! Thanks for watching!
I am a pro with the Massey now. Lol.
I have a set of those log hooks , you need to give them a little rub with the grinder to keep em sharp 😊tough old brutes the massy 65 😊
Thanks Charles, I plan on touching up the tips!
Dan on Back 40 got a free one to try out. Its much small and its a single axle. Rachel did a Great Job ! Rachel is Funny !
Thanks Stanley! I like to think so 😂
Thanks, Stanley, I saw that trailer. She definitely thinks she's funny too, lol.
Rachel, you be careful of the Michigan dog man out there in them woods, he likes that environment lol !!
Barry, I have never heard of the Michigan dog man lol
Lol, I’ll keep her safe!
There are more than a few counties that are experiencing oak wilt.
Just something else to look for.
For sure. A co worker just asked me the other day why his Oak trees were dying. I figured the Oak Wilt got them.
Super wet around here too.
Definitely makes Firewood tough!
Karen Moynihan, an Irish cow farmer, drives the same tractor. she is one tough girl that is sweet on most of her cows
I’ll have to look her up! This tractor continues to impress us.
Look at all them beech trees!
Pickaroon all day for those muddy logs.
We do have a decent # of beech out there. Whenever the kid wants to leave I’ll be okay with that!
Hahaha...very nice....❤😂
Thank you!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors urwelcome miss.and mister hehehe
Hello from Sweden...
Hello Anders, thanks for watching.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors ... I do woodwork with a Massey Harris 812 Pony...Yours MF 35 must be an early model never seen one like that unike
Anders, it’s the 35 not sure what year it is but it’s older for sure! Runs great though!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors ...MF 35...I wrote wrong
You have a beautiful hard working lady love your video 👌👌👌
Thanks Ezequiel, I agree with you she’s one of a kind!
You can always get some 8mm ice pick chains for the rear tires. They are awesome and work great year round
Thanks Steven, I’ve been looking for some chains!
I live on an 80acre farm in mi. and had no idea how many ash trees we had till they started dying. Lots of nice firewood but just about gone.
So much dead ash in Michigan!
I'd have to put mine in 4wd to get thought some of that 😮
It was definitely muddy.
Cannot begin to imagine why the most replayed part of this video is around the 10:19 time lol
Hmm 🤷♂️😉
Nice team work
Thanks!
Green acres is the place to be!
Yessir!
Those picker uperers look great
Thanks Chris they work great and definitely save the back in the right situations.
I'm here because of the thumbnail. Cute, cute, cute
Thanks, I can’t argue with you there!
Thanks 😊
I actually owned a Massey 30. Great little tractor. But we don't have any swamps here in PA. lol Shalom/gw
Thanks, and yes it’s a bit muddy in our woods right now.
I've never seen hay hooks for logs, nice.
Robert, they work pretty good!
That's a Ferguson TEF..made before the days of Massey Ferguson.
We love it! Runs great!
Husky log tongs work a lot better if sharpened to a point, instead of only on 2 sides. I did mine just with a flat file in the vise. They will grab those barkless ash no problem. 👍👍
Pat from nw Wisconsin
Hi Pat, I have thought about doing that, but haven’t done it yet. I will definitely look into it to make it grip easier.
Teach me your ways Heath! I can't get my wife to drive any of my tractors!
Lol, she’s getting more involved as we go.
We need rain here in Alberta, send it this way Please
You can have it all!
Nice rig!
Thank you.
Super Video
Grüsse aus Germany
Thank you!
Un abrazo desde Chile Valdivia.
Thanks Leonardo!
Wish the new massys were that good. Just disappointed in mine
Wisconsin has been hit hard by the EAB. They are claiming 95% have been killed off.
Unfortunately I don’t think anything is as good as it used to be. The older stuff is just built different!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors you’re right about that! They don’t build um like they used to
Nice dındık
Thanks for watching!
I love burning ash. we are about out in our woods in ohio.
It burns great!
That Massey is a “HOG”….! LMAO 😜
So powerful! What a relic. Another Marketplace find Heath…?????
Ken, sort of a marketplace find. It was on Facebook from a friend. She’s a beast lol.
Drove a Massey a bunch when I was a kid I think exhaust ran down at bottom
Ted, the exhaust on this tractor did come out the rear. We re routed it because when we use it to power our Samurai buzz saw you were getting exhaust blasted at you the whole time.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors thats the way my in-law deutz does rough hooking grass cutter
Yeah, they are very versatile!
I expected to get a call to bring my 4wd JD to pull you out of the mud...
Clyde, towards the end we weren’t far from it!
What is the wood for heating and look like a hell of a lot of work to
Praying you’ll stay safe and don’t get sick or stuck
Thanks Phillip, we use a lot of different wood for heating, the main ones are Oak, Locust, Ash, and Maple.
Hi Heath and Rachel, I have a feeling it’s a Easton made product! Just guessing.
Hopefully we’ll get the video out soon!
Nice mud bogging girl. Maybe it will dry up soon so you can get more out.
Thanks Paul, it has dried up quite a bit. We were in pulling more today!
I think you list your Ferguson to Rachel
It’s a nice machine to drive!
That's right. Lol 😂
Lol, thanks for watching!
Can you let me know much of a break from all wood gave you. I asked him about a log splitter couple weeks ago and he hasn’t got back to me. I would like to get a box wedge. The wife is retired navy. I need to know if it’s worth pursuing, or just go with a Wolfridge. We plan to drive from colorado to get it. And how much wait time to receive it.
Jeremy, I just shot Bobby a text, he said he replied to your email and said sometimes they end up in people’s spam folders. If you didn’t get it he said give him a call. IMO you will be a lot happier with an All Wood!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Peter!
‘tis the muddy season
For sure. I’m over it.
👍
Thanks Will.
Hello, I'm from Ukraine! And we also collect firewood here, only we don't carry it, but we carry it with our hands, because such a tractor is not enough to buy a life, our salary is 150 dollars a month, and we also have a bloody war and we are fighting for our independence with the 2nd army of the world, because we are Ukrainians!
Thanks for watching and stay safe over there!
🏋️♀️🏁
Thanks!

Wouldent it easier to move trailer next to lot rounds
Timothy, we would have gotten closer under normal circumstances but it was so muddy back there right now we stuck to the trails.
❤😂❤
Thank you!
What a very beautiful girl, you can't take your eyes off 😜🤩🌻
Thanks, I agree!
Its alot of work but i long ago learned to do this when grounds frozen and with front loader and diesel 4wd tractor with 3 point hitch and lift them and pull whole tree out to house ...alot easier ...now i am getting a E60 bobcat with grapple and brush cutter for all them dam picker bushes i dealt with all them years i am gonna go cut them all down and say there you sons a bitchs ya picked me enough and using a grapple on excavator makes cutting wood a breeze
Thanks, I did pull quite a few out when the ground was frozen with the 4wd Kioti and log grapple, but couldn't get them all. The prickers can be a pain for sure!!!!
Watch out for those snakes you all
Timothy, luckily we don’t see many snakes out there and the ones we do are harmless but still not a fan of them.
You need a little 4 x4
Henry, that would be nice for sure! I used to have a 35hp Kioti 4x4 but upgraded to the bigger RX7320 tractor. For working in the woods the smaller 4x4’s are definitely nicer! Especially since my big tractor is in the shop!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I have a Massey Ferguson 390T 4x4 it's 90 HP. I bought it in 1996 brand new and it is still working.
Any update on your other tractor?
We’ll I picked it up from the shop. He ran it to 3 hours there with no issues. I ran it the day I picked it up and thought we were good to go. Then the next day it did it again. 😞
That's a real good looking woman you have there buddy, would you consider sharing?
Thanks John, I’ll share my ideas and how we do things but sorry, I don’t share my girl.
Don't blame you brother, neither would I
How’s that compare to the metsa (???) trailer that Adam and Doug just got?
Seems like it’s real similar
I believe they’re pretty similar I know to dump this one you use the log lift system with the winch where the Metsa trailers have a gas shock system. Not sure how much the Metsa will dump. I believe this one will dump around 600 pounds. I’ve hauled over 2000 pounds of logs with it.
Seeing how one eyed custom modified his for how violent it dumps, not sure I’d want cylinders.
I’ll have to check the mod video out but yes it seemed pretty powerful when dumping empty.
is your mf35 petrol?
Yes it is.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors never seen a petrol one before im in ireland we got the with 3 and 4 cylinder diesel engines
