That is a lot colder than we are used to here in Cornwall UK. I was in Butte, Montana in January 2001 and it was the coldest I have ever been. Badlands South Dakota ran it a close second. You enjoy your hand warmer I will sit here beside my fire thank you. Thanks again for a great video.
Enjoy your channel....As a boy I took daily care of my Pop's 9 teams of working mules.....Now, having lost my eyesight in Vietnam, I use a German shepherd for a guide dog......he knows G and HA, a habit I never got over! lol......I use him anytime I am out of the house, and you remind me of so much good, hard work....thank you
Wow, that's a lot of mules and a lot of work! Very interesting about your guide dog (interesting name too), and how what you learned as a boy carried over to communicating with her. Thank you for following our channel, all the best to you and your 4 legged friend!
Plattsburgh, N.Y. on a trip to flight line frequently for 4 years cured me of cold weather in that extreme.Spending all day in the woods, winter time at home in North Carolina "balmy" in comparison.
Another nice video Jim. neat little hand warmer. I'm at an age now (78) where I think about things like that warmer. for over 40 yrs worked outside and the cold never stopped me. and never had any serious issues with my hands or feet. but now in old age thats a big deal. even at 40F my hands and feet get cold now. and I can remember working outside at 35 and even45 below few times in my youth. Ya gotta be tough to get old now days. things change fast and not always for the best. stay safe Jim. and thanks for the videos and sharing.
Sweet...Keep your eyes peeled for the tallest set of steel wagon wheels you can find. Connect them to your axle and rig your logs underneath with a comealong. No need for an excavator to load. I have a 4ft tall set and a 8ft tall set of steel wheels. Plus there's mechanical advantage in using a taller wheel. Also most of the wagon wheels rims are cupped or the middle is recessed which means they ride on the thinnest part but when it gets muddy and they sink in that quarter inch or 3/8ths that recessed part is now getting traction and keeping ya above the mud.Your horses will pull more load too. I use a small 14hh mammoth donkey so the pneumatic tires really effect pulling performance for my girl. Awesome videos by the way.
Hi. Yup, - 14 F is equivalent to -25 C. A tad burrrr🥶Here in Northern Alberta where I work, it was - 51 c with the wind chill (-59 F) the other morning. When I hook my horse up, about -10 c (14 F) is my limit. It is just for pleasure. Good for you for having the discipline to work in it🙌🏼. Enjoy your creative ideas, learning a thing or two from watching your videos🤠🇨🇦
Hi Jim, I grew up logging with horses am glad to see how you go about it. I have a suggestion for your dray. Put some teeth on the bunk and use the weight of the logs to help keep them from sliding. We used 2" by 3/8" flat stock and cut some saw teeth and put a few braces on it to keep the teeth from rolling backwards. Just some food for thought. Really enjoy bringing back good memories watching you videos, thank you!
That is quite a drag. Glad it is working out for you. I wish I'd had that handwarmer back when I was working outdoors in the winter. Looks pretty sweet.
Another good one a few improvements and things go better Bill and Lady seem to handle it very well nothing better on a cold day then a good cup of coffee or 2 or 3 cups
I feel your pain with the cold hands Jim. 61 years old and I wear mittens with wool liners from November to March. Stinks getting older. Won't even mention how cold my feet are! I like the dray, I may apply something like that here on my place. I use a skidding cone of sorts now and I've used a wagon running gear, both have their down sides. What you have there is similar to what I always heard called a "log scoot", of course they ran on runners, not wheels. With your cart the wheels are much easier. For a man walking his horse(s) the scoot works fine. Also like the excavator idea. Mixed power works! I don't have an excavator, but I do have 2 backhoes. One of them really, really needs a thumb! Well done! Stay warm nieghbor!
Jim, my logging truck bunks had a piece of 2"X1/2" strap welded on edge across the bunk. I put them on with a tilt to the front and I also sharpen the edge. I kept the edge especially sharp hauling lodgepole pine. Logging trucks pull the load with the front bunks and the trailer only steers. If the trailer axles get bogged down , the load can strip off the front bunks. In some sense, you are are having the same problem. The idea is to have the strap cut into the log as it's being pulled.
Coffee cuts down on your blood circulation water is a much better choice. Years of playing in the cold has tought me this. Coffee dehydrate you also which add to the poor circulation an energy. Waters the opposite. Just trying to help. Hand warmer is a nice idea. I like the new modification to the cart.
Can't believe how cold it there and you are working outside burrrrr ...here in the UK on the Norfolk coast it never gets below - 3c ( 26 deg Fahrenheit) we don't realise how lucky we are with our weather....keep warm and stay safe
In another video I just watched I mentioned a arch.. it’s like your draw cart made here but a u or upside down U welded ti near where the tires are..the cable was run thur a wheel like pulley and down to the log.. so when pulling the log rode up into the pulley and had high one end suspension and great control. Hope this helps.. but what ever I like the new cart too..
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim during the late 40’s and 50’s in the west big arches were used.. When it was wet big logs gouged down deep in skid roads.. the result was a muddy mess.. But with arches big logs were winched into the arch with one end suspension.. In the 80’s of the western slopes of the sierra.. We were salvage dead trees after a fire.. Equipment had shrunk as old grow was off limits or wildlife needs.. But after fires we cleanup these areas.. and old timey arches were brought out again as cat 518 could pull a huge log if one end was 2-4 feet off the ground.. The logs often exceeded the grapple on the sliders (102 inches) but the arch solved it.. I still see them around in old bone yards waiting to be used again. most had huge rubber tires on them and were two wheeled.. Some of the sugar pine. (Southern cousin of western white pine) were over 140 inches and had to be cut in half so a 966 front end loader could pick the up.. and load a log truck.. ha….in some cases huge logs were rolled on to a load boy and hauled to the big log mill that way.. 30 years ago tree harvest on National Forest land was halted..The preservationist mind set took over.. Mills closed, and junked and soon trees began to die.. no clean up for dead trees or even after huge fires.. Now fires get bigger, burn hotter, and more and more dead trees everywhere..it’s ugly..The vegetation is not natural ..it’s a time bomb.. the blame is preservation mind set.. soon all national forests out here will be black.. In 2021 5-6 billion board feet burned during the caldor fire.. The wood will rot.. as there are no mills in the area now.. and in another 15 years another fire will occur from all the dead trees on the ground.. meanwhile we see bear and cougars in town .. they don’t have a forest or food.. Our most important resource is water and many acres after fires can hold water till the stands of trees grow up and that will take 50-60 years.. nice post Jim.. I love your horse logging ways much and above all you great teams of horses.. Take care bro..
Jim, I'v been there in the woods when it's that cold - get a portable charcoal grill, put some charcoal in it, get it hot, slide it under the excavator and warm it up! Like the cart! I knew you would come up with something to improve it! Actually It may be better because you can cut the log while off the ground!
Good video Jim, watching you and your horses have me longing for a team of my own. Being a WV coal miner, I may be needing a career change in the near future lol. Keep the videos coming I need to learn all I can!
Another trick I use for cold weather is wear sweat pants with pockets under my overalls. That give me a warm inside pocket which helps batteries last longer
The HotHands chemical hand warmers and toe warmers are great!! They actually work 10 hours in the cold. Someone gave me a different brand. They maybe would have lasted 10 hours at 70 degrees! 🤔 Have you tri ed the charger? I got something that would supposedly charge a phone. I guess it did for emergency use but not full charge.
Do you have an engine heater on escalator you could probably get a small generator like they use for camping and plug heater into it to warm up engine and maybe a small battery charger so when you get back to landing it would start. I dont know how much gas the generator take but the convenience would be well worth it just an idea Tom from Nebraska
Hi Jim, Now that you have it rebuilt, you might consider extending the bunk out over the wheels with removable stanchions so that you can roll the logs off and not have to cut them.
They are full length trees so I can't unroll them. All I have to do is unhook the chains and pull it out from underneath them, so it's been working ok. Thanks
I really enjoyed that Jim...coming from a mechanized logging background the idea you’ve developed here is very similar in functionality and necessity as a “clambunk” skidder. Most swamp logging outfits down south here use them. They can haul a tremendous load on longer skids. And have to be loaded with a knuckle boom shovel or whatever. I really like your idea my friend and can see where it could greatly improve production on them long hauls. There are parts here in Tennessee that’s too steep for a log wagon, and too secluded to get a truck in. I think might be worth looking into. You got any ideas on loading the logs primitively with the horses or is this gonna be a strict animal and machine combined approach? Thx for sharing your knowledge my friend. Always enjoy it
instead of using a load binder, and binding them down tight. I wonder if you had a piece of angle iron with notches in it, like what is on your cart to wards the front of your dray. Then have one chain per log to keep them from sliding off the back. Just my 2 cents worth.
Bumper is a great idea, now hook your individual log choker chains to that bumper towards the front of the log trailer hitch, not to the horse cart that you are riding.
Curious why you didn’t consider a log arch? Seems like it would have all the advantages of the dray and would not need to have the excavator to load. Or just making do with what you already had?
It takes some time to build such a big load on the drag, so my question is, is the way out to the landing long enough to warrant that effort instead of going more often with lighter loads? Jim , you and your horses certainly are among the often touted 'hard working Americans'!
So does the drag cart make it easier for the horses to pull the logs? Just was wondering if its better or the same? Love the info and all that you share. Stay warm and safe. From PEI
creo que en este concepto de transporte seria bueno para un menor esfuerzo de los caballos que en la parte posterior de los troncos se pusiera otro dolly para que se transportara rodando y no arrastrando!
How are we doing.... I have hand heat pads that you can take them any were they fit right in the middle of ur hand and they last up to 8 hours.... Do you have anything like that over there around ur house 🏠... Let me know and I can send you some of them .... They fit in the palm of your hand
I rin a small welding shop.and id love to talk to that old timer and lern a few things from him i always lern so much being around old timers i feel stupid every time i work with one
Nice modifications to your rig. Should save you a lot of problems getting stuck in trees and busting up wheels and tires. Don’t know how the hell you and your four legged buddies can work in -14. Boy that would hurt if you pinch a finger or hand between logs in that cold. Take care Jim
Looks to me like, a feller might get himself a small cheater pipe, to help boom down those logs. Might make you life a little easier, maybe one about 4' long! Just an idea!
I think the horses could do with a warmer, in that cold pulling that much wieght I'd be giving you a swift kick if I was one ot your horses lol, one of my Dads horses would bite whoever was working them right on the muscle of their arm.
I sure wish my dad was alive to see you work this,,,he would of loved it
Your work ethic, especially in such cold weather, is really something. I'm glad you've got that handwarmer.
That is a lot colder than we are used to here in Cornwall UK. I was in Butte, Montana in January 2001 and it was the coldest I have ever been. Badlands South Dakota ran it a close second. You enjoy your hand warmer I will sit here beside my fire thank you. Thanks again for a great video.

Jim, you are always thinking and planning. Great video. FYI more cold weather headed your way next week.
That's what I hear
Thanks for a great video Jim .
Best Regards From the U.K
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy watching the videos and the handwarmers are a great idea
Glad you like them!
i really this is more efficient way of moving the logs and less stress on the horses. very well explained Jim.. thxs

Yes, it's working pretty well, thanks

Hope you had a good Groundhog's day! Thank you for the heads up on the hand warmer. Sounds cold there.
Yes. It doesn't look like spring is coming anytime soon right now! Thanks for watching
Inside of the horses back legs works great for warming hands.
SURE IS COLD, HAND WARMER SURE LOOKS LIKE A GOOD IDEA
Another good one a few improvements and things go better Bill and Lady seem to handle it very well nothing better on a cold day then a good cup of coffee or 2 or 3 cups
Looks like things worked well, no problems with the drag or the team. Great when things work out.

Was great thanks jim god bless. Dont want to get long winded every time
Thanks to you and God bless!
How about vertical staves beside each wheel to allow you to pile 4 or 5 logs on the cart?
Awesome. I would say its cold enough to freeze the mud holes up 🤣. Love what you came up with 👍.
You got that right!

Thanks for the video! Does the extreme cold like your-14 bother the horses in any way?
Doesn’t seem to
Hi Jim
At what temp do you put blankets on the horses?
I don't go by temperature, I just put them on when the horses are hot from working and are going to cool down too fast
I know its a old video but do the horses deal with cold good
Bumper is a great idea, now hook your individual log choker chains to that bumper towards the front of the log trailer hitch, not to the horse cart that you are riding.

It's over a half a mile skid, and I can usually load up with the excavator in 5-10 minutes. I'm sure you are a hard working American also
So does the drag cart make it easier for the horses to pull the logs? Just was wondering if its better or the same? Love the info and all that you share. Stay warm and safe. From PEI
Yes it does! Especially with such a long skid it is helpful
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim That's great. Thank you for the reply.
are you wearing ice spikes or anything on your own feet while stumbling around out there in the snow and ice,?
no I'm not
14 below zero. Well at least the pickup is headed in the right direction "S"!
A pipe would be handy to put on your twitch handles to get the chains nice tight
I had thought about doing that and may still, thanks
Jim,
Just a little help on pronouncing the name of the hand warmer: O (as in "Oh My")- COOP( as in Chicken Coop)- A (as in AH) O-COOP-A. OCOOPA.
How much snow did you get? We got 12 inches here in Nashua nh.
We probably got 8-10 inches
Be great with wench and arch
If you can drag them on the ground, why use the cart? Do the logs catch the ground too often?
It pulls easier with the dray
Glad to see the PPE's but not glad to see that you're not using the face shield.
I'll bet that path is nice and haed now.
yes it is
creo que en este concepto de transporte seria bueno para un menor esfuerzo de los caballos que en la parte posterior de los troncos se pusiera otro dolly para que se transportara rodando y no arrastrando!
Gracias por la sugerencia
Is this forest your property or not, and where are you selling it?
It is the neighbor's property I am working on right now. I am selling some to other mills and some comes to my mill
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Yeah, so your forest is not states, but private, yes? Or I misunderstood
@@lucky_viktorio Privately owned. No one gets to log commercially on State owned land in New York! It all just grows old and dies. What a waste...

Improvise. If it makes it easier and safer. Do it. Take good care of yourself and your four legged babies.
I rin a small welding shop.and id love to talk to that old timer and lern a few things from him i always lern so much being around old timers i feel stupid every time i work with one
Nice modifications to your rig. Should save you a lot of problems getting stuck in trees and busting up wheels and tires.
Don’t know how the hell you and your four legged buddies can work in -14.
Boy that would hurt if you pinch a finger or hand between logs in that cold.
Take care Jim
Thanks, you too
By the way, my guide dog's middle name is Tonka, his first name is dammit
Looks to me like, a feller might get himself a small cheater pipe, to help boom down those logs. Might make you life a little easier, maybe one about 4' long! Just an idea!

Poor circulation is the root cause of all coldness.
"I'm going to work and it's -14, and "I am such a wuss about the cold" don't belong in the same video!
MGBYAAIJNA 👍😎
Bet it eats batteries.
How long does a charge last?
Better to feed batteries to machine than fingers to frostbite!
