Having a boom pole for dragging logs out of the forest is without doubt a game changer and I understand why you love it. That being said, as someone who owns a boom pole and a front end loader on my tractor, I'd give up a 100 boom poles to keep my loader. The pole is very narrow in scope where the loader does a LOT of jobs the pole can't do. Having both is the best of both worlds as I can use the loader as a counter balance to the three point weight by having a bucket full of rocks or dirt. When I'm not using the pole I install the rear weight box to counter the loader weight. Add a detachable set of forks to the bucket and you can just about do anything. Anyway, love the channel and the cabin build, best of luck going forward.
I love to watch you guys work, and the ways you work efficiently. The tractor is a great back saver. Your dad works as hard as you, and that is saying something imho. And smart. You compliment one another. Stay safe you guys.
I have one of these on order at the moment. Looking forward to saving time and work here at the new homestead. From pulling trees to pulling motors to hauling fence posts… Great video! Just a heads up… If you were to add some good “Log Skidding Tongs” onto that boom pole… you would be able to attach/dis-attach logs to the boom pole without even leaving your seat! Practice required….
me too... just found this channel 11pm in the Philippines Nov. 15, 2018 and it's so interesting to watch video like this. This is my first time to see logging and doing cabin and i found this man too hardworking with the help of his dad and sometimes his brother. I started watching since day 1 and so forth. I really appreciate you young man whatever purposes your vlogs maybe... despite of the fact that you only go there to work during saturdays whether rainy or snowy... Hurrraaaayyyyy
Agree about the loader. Took one off of a 1957 Case 300 Utility, and its much more maneuverable now. They say the loaders tend to wear out the front bearings much faster because of the excessive weight on the front end. The videos are awesome.
Ever since I have been watching your videos my yard has never looked nicer I have cut down all of my unsitely trees ever since I cut my first tree down I have went tree cutting crazy and I did it all my self it,s great you have toute me something that I never thought that I could ever do but you never know what you can do untill you try and that's a fact so after watching your video with the pole on the back of your trackter I have come up with a unique idea for moving my trees I us my push mower it has all wheel drive and it pulls it self I hoocked a lock strap to the logs and I pull the bar up and away we go the trees are of a not so small size but not huge either I,d say about medium I have used one tree for a step to my storage building it works great the rest I have found use for them all thanks outsider untill we meet up in your videos again my friend here's to you my thumbs up to you ∆.
You comments about the front end becoming "light" is why they make a mounting bracket for the front of tractors that hold multiple "suitcase weight", typically 50-75 lb each.
been watching here in new zealand and your famllies journey sorry about your mums passing , and your wifes cancer cong on your baby , love hugs to your dad, all best to grandad for no more thieves, god bless
some 1 has a new toy to play with. I'd still take my bucket over the pole. they both have there places bucket i can put forks on & can clear snow with, can't do too many other things with the boom compared. gramps hope is happy & well along with rest of your family
You can install a counterweight on the front end of the Ferguson to balance the weight om the three point. Great tractor, learnt to drive on the Ferguson TF , been using later models at work in the 70’s and 80’s.
I used to operate a 35 with a front end loader.However I got rid of the FEL.. It altered the balance of the tractor badly and without power steering it was extremely tiring to steer over rough ground,not to mention the hydraulics.Otherwise the little tractor was a mighty tool for dragging and moving trees.I just had a short snig chain attached to the rear hydraulics,keeping the load low and close.For good info check out how the early loggers used skids, pivots and ramps to move heavy logs.you're going great,enthusiasm is your greatest ally.All the best.
for me, the attachment that has more that paid for its self has been a scoop...i have moved many tons of dirt with it and recently dug myself a creek to drain water...so glad i bought it...
Thanks again, you and your dad are awesome, between you guys and Shawn James of My Self Reliance, you guys have the Best TH-cam channels! I can't wait, but must wait for your next installment of your excellent video!
At the present time I enjoy watching you and your Dad more. Keep up the good work. Your dad is a blessing and for sure you are a blessing to him him also,. I love working with another person as if we can read each others mind. Some times Shawn cooks and eats more then he builds. Shawn's dog Cali is a big part of his channel.
GOOD FOR YOU & YOUR DAD ON THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW BOOM. THAT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU & UR DAD NOT ONLY TIME, BUT SAVE ON SUM UNNECESSARY & UNWANTED BACK PAINZ ....AND VERY KOOL THAT (GRANDPA) GETS TO MAKE A FEW BUCKS FOR HIZ POCKETS BY SALING THE FENCE POST'S TOO.... ( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) The Outsider....
A great addition to your tools.. A big lift in accomplishing the really tough tasks.. But! The best of all your work... You are spending time doing n sharing with your dad.. Good on ya! His prints will be all over that cabin for lifetimes to come.." Family, comuunity, country!
If anyone is ever out on the west coast (BC) there are nursing logs that are gigantic with trees that are probably 50 years or older growing out of the logs, the roots systems are a work or art, wrapped all over the log. Lots of standing stumps on my property that are nursing new growth. One of the best channels on tube and great forestry stewardship.
Letting trees grow from a stump results in poor quality timber. This is not good stewardship but quite the opposite. Mistake from ignorance or lack of education.
More cherry log fun. The friend who was the big guy drove his tractor and son-in-law who was the little guy did the ground work. Made it look like little guy was the one doing the hard work while big guy just sat there when they were loading the log pieces!
You might want to put some washers or bushings on your toplink on the pole- it's sliding back and forth and will eventually wear or bend the pin. Glad it's working good for you.
Great tractor and boom pole. Father and I also built a log cabin using southern yellow pine from his property. We had an Allis-Chalmers tractor with an A-frame jib pole on the three point hitch, but also had a 20 ton army surplus winch, bolted to the frame up front and could lift logs to the top of the wall with the jib and winch. We hand hewed each log flat on two sides and made half dovetail joints at the corners. Enjoyed your video, as it brought back good memories of my father, who now is in the tender loving care of his Maker.
Geraldine Willis, Awe another made up Irish story. That just is not so :-) Unless you know some unknown fact about the Massey family, that I could not find anywhere ??
I was actually referring to Harry Ferguson who was the main brain behind the Massey Ferguson, he was born and bred in Moneymore Northern Ireland.. he prior to the Massey Ferguson built the TE20 or Grey Fergie as it is often referred to, now the important bit, the 3 point linkage was designed by Harry Ferguson and it was first used on the TE20, and is still used in principle on most new tractors today.. I hope this sorts out your Irish myth😝
Victor Castle - Please read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Ferguson I know that us Irish are fond of storytelling & occasionally stretching facts!!!! but we are proud of our country.
MASSEY didn't acquire Ferguson until the 50s. They had already had much success prior to that. They didn't need any fucking potato eater to make them what they are.
My tractor crane is the same as yours but with logging tongs on it. It makes hooking up easy alone. Just back up, let crane down hooks by itself and keeps log or firewood out of the dirt.
Just a thought that wold put a lot less strain on the boom pile and make it easier when dragging a log is use 2 slings. One like you did in the video and another to the draw bar horizontally from the log.
A suggestion on refilling your water tote you refilled on ep.10.12. When dumping the water jug. at the same time you up end and tip it into hole, give it a couple swirls of 360 degrees during pouring. You will get a surprise at the result for time to empty.
Just to let you know I find your videos very interesting and very pleasurable to watch I just wondered you all doing it and I’m standing job on your log cabin one other thing how Just wondering how much some land would cost may be a nightcap unless if you could please get back to me because I am considering ago and I was off the grid soon as I get some more information I would appreciate it and keep up the good work I look forward to seeing you next videos🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧I do live in the USA it’s nice to connect back to the wilderness
Did the same job as you 26 yrs ago with the same equipment. I put logging tongs where you have the swivel. You can "hook & unhook" with out leaving the seat thereby saving more time and energy. Also in getting firewood hook the logs about 1/2 way along with heavy end towards the back and they will go up into the arch keeping it all off the ground. I'm not so smart, just lazy.
I love your videos.. I would do anything to get out of the city, my 8 to 4:30 job and build a cabin in the woods and just live in nature. You are Blessed. May God continue to bless you always.
Like I cant even believe you got dislikes from this... What is wrong with people?? A young lad and his father I get it people are just envious of you, so keep it up! I could only wish my father loved me enough to do these things with me. Also good to see you taking care of grandpa too. Keep it up because God is with you both. You dont need to rush rush anything just do it this way. Safety always first. Or you wont be around to enjoy it. You will have two age categories watching if you can get pa on some more. TH-cam will never ban something like this because its all original content. Doesnt mean you cant do some editing and add some creative content though. Also dont ever tell your names or any personal info. Big youtubers always get it bad that way. Be careful of lures and scammers too. Also I'd like to see a shop built next :D
Ohhh what wait a minute you don't even have a patreon account... You don't make much from actual youtube anymore and people all know this. the people that want to help you might even already be asking how to help out. I would get a patreon account.
So just last night, I hooked up a shop built boom my father made years ago to the back of a farmall 230, and unloaded a bolster and front axel with tires and wheel weights for an IH B414, along with the engine. That boom pole is so handy!
Seriously, you have this style like the Dick Proenekke Alone in the Wilderness feel to your videos. I love to watch what you're doing and how you solve problems out there. I don't know what it is about the TH-cam community, but I appreciate you sharing your accomplishments here with all of us.
One thought, if you are going to continue using the boom pole, and you are concerned with lifting the front end, you could have a bucket welded to the front of the tractor, and fill it with weights with chain and tools, so that it will counter additional weight on the boom pole in the rear. Just an idea...
If you modify that pole a little it will be of even more use to you. You only need to make a pivot piont above your lift arms, and extend the back part of the pole where yon can attach it to the tractor where you have your top link now. Then you can drop the pole all the way to the ground and even flip logs by pushing the pole under them. And have much less front end lift.
if you have a hydraulic port on the tractor a hydraulic center link would be a great improvement. You could raise and lower the end of the boom pole without having to turn the link by hand. great vids !!!
I Just subscribed to your channel this morning. I found it last night looking for something else. Seeing I love nature and alway wanted a long cabin away from people and the noise , I thought why not watch you build yours. It should be fun for an old granny confined to a rocking chair and doctor appointments. So here goes my new adventure. Keep these video's coming and I'll watch them. Granny fan now.👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻🤗🤗🤗🌲🌲🌲🚛🚛🚜🚜🚜
I’ve enjoyed watching your channel for quite a while now. It’s so interesting. Whether you do things for the cabin or just talk about edible plants, etc. I was wondering if you could put a log or some other sort of weight on the front of the tractor, depending on how much the tractor could handle, to offset the weight in the back so it doesn’t tilt back. Of course it may not be safe and I wouldn’t want you to do anything that wasn’t safe. Maybe it’s not the best idea. I am looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
Alice G he could add a counterweight but likely won't require it as he indicated he's working with cedar which is noticeably lighter. He could also likely still skid logs if he wanted yo haul in a larger load
Thanks for the reply. I knew he mentioned that the cedar logs were lighter, but thought he may want to load 3 more and maybe try what I was asking about. He is a very resourceful person. I just wasn’t sure if it was possible and also would it be safe? Always a safety first. It seems to be a very very sturdy tractor. I don’t remember what it’s load capacity is overall. I may have missed that episode, if it was mentioned. Always interesting to watch!
If he adds weights to the front of the tractor, the next "weak link" is probably the hydraulics relief valve, or the boom arm folding. So no worry that he might break the tractor in half, it's pretty darn sturdy for it's size. Note, I say "probably", since I'm not that well versed in tractors.
Jeff Katzer lol Yeah I'm glad the GoPro is built to take a beating. Mine has been squished between logs, driven over, and had several trees fall on it.
I noticed you didn't start your floor joists at the walls; are you just going to float the floor planks to the wall and hope they don't warp or are you planning on installing some deadwood? I'm sure you understand the issues pertaining to expansion and contraction of log cabins and are allowing for that.
Good idea, my father ran a dairy farm using a Fergie 35X & a Zetor 4712. The Fergie had secondary (thinner) triangulating side-arms that took a lot of the sway out but the standard turnbuckles on the Zetor was a much more secure arrangement.
After you put the water bottles on top of the water tote to fill it, move the bottom of the bottles in a circle. This will start a vortex in the bottle and it will drain faster. Does the tractor have an open hydraulic port for a hydraulic top link on the three point hitch?
What a great boom pole you added to your tractor..Like you said saves countless hours and back breaking work....Tractor sounds like its running very well....Can’t wait to start seeing the cabin start to arise....🚜🌲🏚......T.Gunz.........
i would add a lift point between the 3pnt and the braces on your lift safer and more stable . calcium in the front tires will also help keep your frontend on the ground .i think you will find that a loader would be handier when you start putting your logs up high on the cabin
Water collection is a great thing to do. Be surprised what just night time dew dripping off of a roof top can save you. Dew drops and rain water is good for any gardens one may have. Just keep a screen over the inlet to keep insects and trash out.
Dude, your dad is holding onto the fender just above the rear tire while driving. I did that until a branch got sucked up by the tire and almost took my fingers off! Yowza!! I’d hate to see that happen to you guys!
Next project: make a tray to fit the 3 point linkage that carry's one of those ICB containers. Full of water they one metric tonne ,so you may need to add ballast to the front of the tractor. I read the other night that harry Ferguson introduced waterloo boy tractors to the UK through Northern Ireland ,Waterloo boy became John Deere. Little wonder his designs are still practical today with such a long history around tractors.
An old timer showed me a trick on how to empty a five gallon jug quickly . . . after you turn it over to empty it swirl the jug clockwise to start a venturi in the center (much like the way a toilet does) to allow the air to enter the jug without it chugging. This allows the water to empty quickly.
Cool Massey but that bent headlight would mess with my OCD. I'd have to fix that, and the bent grille, and then I'd give it an ice base/clear paint job. Then I'd be afraid to use it for fear of scratching that sweet paint job. On second thought, just leave the headlights cross eyed and tell yourself it gives the tractor character.
What it must be like to own such a huge bit of land with all those trees. Regretfully as much as I would love to build my own log cabin The chance will never come now. I think yhe saw mill is the best bit of gear going, you can use it s you said to cut lumber for others and to sell, so it really pays for itself..
here in Australia that tractor is illegal,would have to have a roll bar fitted,also a counter weight on the front of the tractor would help ,even 100 kilo on the front would allow greater lift capacity on the boom,but careful not to exceed the weight limit for the boom,i am so enjoying your vids,and i admire your motivation,keep it guys.
If you have a minute, you should look into a hydraulic top link for the 3 pt hitch. We use these on our tractors for pallet forks, logging, etc. AMAZING difference. Well worth the $200. Good luck
Boom poles are incredibly useful and not that expensive. Definitely worth having one.
Having a boom pole for dragging logs out of the forest is without doubt a game changer and I understand why you love it. That being said, as someone who owns a boom pole and a front end loader on my tractor, I'd give up a 100 boom poles to keep my loader.

Anyway, love the channel and the cabin build, best of luck going forward.
I love to watch you guys work, and the ways you work efficiently. The tractor is a great back saver. Your dad works as hard as you, and that is saying something imho. And smart. You compliment one another. Stay safe you guys.
I have one of these on order at the moment. Looking forward to saving time and work here at the new homestead.
From pulling trees to pulling motors to hauling fence posts…
Great video!
Just a heads up…
If you were to add some good “Log Skidding Tongs” onto that boom pole… you would be able to attach/dis-attach logs to the boom pole without even leaving your seat! Practice required….
me too... just found this channel 11pm in the Philippines Nov. 15, 2018 and it's so interesting to watch video like this. This is my first time to see logging and doing cabin and i found this man too hardworking with the help of his dad and sometimes his brother. I started watching since day 1 and so forth. I really appreciate you young man whatever purposes your vlogs maybe... despite of the fact that you only go there to work during saturdays whether rainy or snowy... Hurrraaaayyyyy
What makes your videos better is the narrating after the video its interesting and I'm 13 years old I love these stuff.
Agree about the loader. Took one off of a 1957 Case 300 Utility, and its much more maneuverable now. They say the loaders tend to wear out the front bearings much faster because of the excessive weight on the front end. The videos are awesome.
Always a bright spot in my day when you post a new video
glenn goodale ...and your comment was a bright spot in mine. Thanks!

Your new acquisitions are money well spent! Very cool
Boom pole = Skidder 😁😁😁
Good, useful implements can save the day. Not to mention, a back!
Ever since I have been watching your videos my yard has never looked nicer I have cut down all of my unsitely trees ever since I cut my first tree down I have went tree cutting crazy and I did it all my self it,s great you have toute me something that I never thought that I could ever do but you never know what you can do untill you try and that's a fact so after watching your video with the pole on the back of your trackter I have come up with a unique idea for moving my trees I us my push mower it has all wheel drive and it pulls it self I hoocked a lock strap to the logs and I pull the bar up and away we go the trees are of a not so small size but not huge either I,d say about medium I have used one tree for a step to my storage building it works great the rest I have found use for them all thanks outsider untill we meet up in your videos again my friend here's to you my thumbs up to you ∆.
Everytime I have free time I watch all your videos keep up the good work.
You comments about the front end becoming "light" is why they make a mounting bracket for the front of tractors that hold multiple "suitcase weight", typically 50-75 lb each.
been watching here in new zealand and your famllies journey sorry about your mums passing , and your wifes cancer cong on your baby , love hugs to your dad, all best to grandad for no more thieves, god bless
some 1 has a new toy to play with. I'd still take my bucket over the pole. they both have there places bucket i can put forks on & can clear snow with, can't do too many other things with the boom compared. gramps hope is happy & well along with rest of your family
Good to see those off cuts of the trees are not getting wasted. Plus a little extra money from them too.
You can install a counterweight on the front end of the Ferguson to balance the weight om the three point. Great tractor, learnt to drive on the Ferguson TF , been using later models at work in the 70’s and 80’s.

Cherish these times with your dad making memories! I miss my dad every day.
Thank you for the updates! Well appreciated...
A roll-bar would be a good addition on your 35 given the uneven terrain you are dealing with. We also own one of these great little tractors.
for me, the attachment that has more that paid for its self has been a scoop...i have moved many tons of dirt with it and recently dug myself a creek to drain water...so glad i bought it...

Such nice work with that crazy haircut. And here we see your dad using chains as suspenders. Now there is real man ! :)
A Canadian in Europe lol

victor castle , I have also discovered that he was actually born in County Down N I
Victor Castle - Please read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Ferguson I know that us Irish are fond of storytelling & occasionally stretching facts!!!! but we are proud of our country.
MASSEY didn't acquire Ferguson until the 50s. They had already had much success prior to that. They didn't need any fucking potato eater to make them what they are.
My tractor crane is the same as yours but with logging tongs on it. It makes hooking up easy alone. Just back up, let crane down hooks by itself and keeps log or firewood out of the dirt.
Just a thought that wold put a lot less strain on the boom pile and make it easier when dragging a log is use 2 slings. One like you did in the video and another to the draw bar horizontally from the log.
I knew this was going to be a game-changer for you
in a 6 x 8 shed will the doors open wide enough for a riding lawnmower?
You may find a front counterweight helpful. It is a great video. Good luck with your future work.
A suggestion on refilling your water tote you refilled on ep.10.12. When dumping the water jug. at the same time you up end and tip it into hole, give it a couple swirls of 360 degrees during pouring. You will get a surprise at the result for time to empty.

My dad had this tractor in the 70s ,,, nice tractor
Really enjoying following your story. Thanks.
What a nifty apparatus you got there! Super!
Did the same job as you 26 yrs ago with the same equipment. I put logging tongs where you have the swivel. You can "hook & unhook" with out leaving the seat thereby saving more time and energy. Also in getting firewood hook the logs about 1/2 way along with heavy end towards the back and they will go up into the arch keeping it all off the ground. I'm not so smart, just lazy.
I love your videos.. I would do anything to get out of the city, my 8 to 4:30 job and build a cabin in the woods and just live in nature. You are Blessed. May God continue to bless you always.
its all fun and games until youre cold and wet with your underwear soaked and youre getting bit by the mosquitoes in the face lol
Like I cant even believe you got dislikes from this... What is wrong with people?? A young lad and his father I get it people are just envious of you, so keep it up! I could only wish my father loved me enough to do these things with me. Also good to see you taking care of grandpa too. Keep it up because God is with you both. You dont need to rush rush anything just do it this way. Safety always first. Or you wont be around to enjoy it. You will have two age categories watching if you can get pa on some more.
TH-cam will never ban something like this because its all original content. Doesnt mean you cant do some editing and add some creative content though. Also dont ever tell your names or any personal info. Big youtubers always get it bad that way. Be careful of lures and scammers too. Also I'd like to see a shop built next :D
Ohhh what wait a minute you don't even have a patreon account... You don't make much from actual youtube anymore and people all know this. the people that want to help you might even already be asking how to help out. I would get a patreon account.
people can make monthly donations and you can even show it to the rest of the public
also be careful of other youtubers adding you... they are doing it to steal your views,
You do a great job with your videos...I love the narrative style.
So just last night, I hooked up a shop built boom my father made years ago to the back of a farmall 230, and unloaded a bolster and front axel with tires and wheel weights for an IH B414, along with the engine. That boom pole is so handy!
Seriously, you have this style like the Dick Proenekke Alone in the Wilderness feel to your videos. I love to watch what you're doing and how you solve problems out there. I don't know what it is about the TH-cam community, but I appreciate you sharing your accomplishments here with all of us.
Is that a poplar with the sprouts?
One thought, if you are going to continue using the boom pole, and you are concerned with lifting the front end, you could have a bucket welded to the front of the tractor, and fill it with weights with chain and tools, so that it will counter additional weight on the boom pole in the rear. Just an idea...
I love your life that you're working in .
Progress!
Progress!
Blessings!
If you modify that pole a little it will be of even more use to you. You only need to make a pivot piont above your lift arms, and extend the back part of the pole where yon can attach it to the tractor where you have your top link now. Then you can drop the pole all the way to the ground and even flip logs by pushing the pole under them. And have much less front end lift.
My grandfather has a same tractor, it's a Yugoslavian brand, IMT 539. Among some differences, it has a throttle pedal.
if you have a hydraulic port on the tractor a hydraulic center link would be a great improvement. You could raise and lower the end of the boom pole without having to turn the link by hand. great vids !!!
Ronald Clark I agree! I'm hoping to install a hydraulic top link this winter.
Hydraulic push-bar would rock that thing i say! Its so nice to have on a contraption like yours
That Massey is a great timber tractor. Big enough to get the job done but small enough to get through in the tight spots.
I Just subscribed to your channel this morning. I found it last night looking for something else. Seeing I love nature and alway wanted a long cabin away from people and the noise , I thought why not watch you build yours. It should be fun for an old granny confined to a rocking chair and doctor appointments. So here goes my new adventure. Keep these video's coming and I'll watch them.
Granny fan now.👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻🤗🤗🤗🌲🌲🌲🚛🚛🚜🚜🚜
GRANNY TG TG GRANNY Thank you for joining us on our adventure!
I’ve enjoyed watching your channel for quite a while now. It’s so interesting. Whether you do things for the cabin or just talk about edible plants, etc. I was wondering if you could put a log or some other sort of weight on the front of the tractor, depending on how much the tractor could handle, to offset the weight in the back so it doesn’t tilt back. Of course it may not be safe and I wouldn’t want you to do anything that wasn’t safe. Maybe it’s not the best idea. I am looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
Alice G he could add a counterweight but likely won't require it as he indicated he's working with cedar which is noticeably lighter. He could also likely still skid logs if he wanted yo haul in a larger load
Thanks for the reply. I knew he mentioned that the cedar logs were lighter, but thought he may want to load 3 more and maybe try what I was asking about. He is a very resourceful person. I just wasn’t sure if it was possible and also would it be safe? Always a safety first. It seems to be a very very sturdy tractor. I don’t remember what it’s load capacity is overall. I may have missed that episode, if it was mentioned. Always interesting to watch!
If he adds weights to the front of the tractor, the next "weak link" is probably the hydraulics relief valve, or the boom arm folding.
So no worry that he might break the tractor in half, it's pretty darn sturdy for it's size.
Note, I say "probably", since I'm not that well versed in tractors.
That poor old GoPro sure leads a rough life. :-) Always a pleasure to see your videos. Thanks!
Jeff Katzer lol Yeah I'm glad the GoPro is built to take a beating. Mine has been squished between logs, driven over, and had several trees fall on it.
And the moment at 16:26!
Man, your Dad looking metal af with all those chains draped over his neck ~10min mark :D
I noticed you didn't start your floor joists at the walls; are you just going to float the floor planks to the wall and hope they don't warp or are you planning on installing some deadwood?
I'm sure you understand the issues pertaining to expansion and contraction of log cabins and are allowing for that.
Hello Mr. and Mrs. Outsider . I’m hoping you could do a video on pine nuts. This would be greatly appreciated . Thank you .
Nice addition! What a time saver!!! Not to mention back saver!
You may wish to add a couple off turn buckles on the lower arms off the fergie to give you more control. And less swaying.
Good idea, my father ran a dairy farm using a Fergie 35X & a Zetor 4712. The Fergie had secondary (thinner) triangulating side-arms that took a lot of the sway out but the standard turnbuckles on the Zetor was a much more secure arrangement.
After you put the water bottles on top of the water tote to fill it, move the bottom of the bottles in a circle. This will start a vortex in the bottle and it will drain faster. Does the tractor have an open hydraulic port for a hydraulic top link on the three point hitch?
A set of log grabs on the boom would be good there.
My mistake; Meant to say Skidding Tongs. I was a teenager when I last used a set...
What a great boom pole you added to your tractor..Like you said saves countless hours and back breaking work....Tractor sounds like its running very well....Can’t wait to start seeing the cabin start to arise....🚜🌲🏚......T.Gunz.........
i would add a lift point between the 3pnt and the braces on your lift safer and more stable . calcium in the front tires will also help keep your frontend on the ground .i think you will find that a loader would be handier when you start putting your logs up high on the cabin
Brilliant...lovely tractor work,you could win a medal at farm competition events.
Silverwood Dairy milk tote - True sign your Canadian and from Ontario. I have a few but they are used for records.
You cannot count the number of us out here that would love to be doing what you are doing.
I do this same thing however whenever possible I will attach to the middle of the boom, rebuilding the hydraulics top plate is no fun.
Build the cabin! Can't wait to see it.
Water collection is a great thing to do. Be surprised what just night time dew dripping off of a roof top can save you. Dew drops and rain water is good for any gardens one may have. Just keep a screen over the inlet to keep insects and trash out.
excellent vid as usual. One of my favorite channels. Thank you.
Love the huge tires. The modern day tractors tend to have smaller tires.
Looks like FUN!
Use to run a massey just like the one you have ,we used it building fences in central texas
Thanks for sharing your videos!! Love watching what you and your Dad are working on. 🙋🏼♀️
Now that is a great addition
Dude, your dad is holding onto the fender just above the rear tire while driving. I did that until a branch got sucked up by the tire and almost took my fingers off! Yowza!! I’d hate to see that happen to you guys!
Bruce Wayne Thanks for the heads up my friend. I'll be sure to pass your warning onto him.
Put a handle on the fender, right around where he prefers to put his hand.
You will be surprised how fast people adapt to something like that. :)
That boom pole can be a God send,, but it can get you in a lot of trouble really quick,,,, just think what you use it for through
Another stellar video. Thanks.
Another excellent video chapter, I like the inclusion of your drone views as well.
Great video really enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing 🚜 God bless
Great new tool! Congrats!
Next project: make a tray to fit the 3 point linkage that carry's one of those ICB containers. Full of water they one metric tonne ,so you may need to add ballast to the front of the tractor. I read the other night that harry Ferguson introduced waterloo boy tractors to the UK through Northern Ireland ,Waterloo boy became John Deere. Little wonder his designs are still practical today with such a long history around tractors.
An old timer showed me a trick on how to empty a five gallon jug quickly . . . after you turn it over to empty it swirl the jug clockwise to start a venturi in the center (much like the way a toilet does) to allow the air to enter the jug without it chugging. This allows the water to empty quickly.
Cool Massey but that bent headlight would mess with my OCD. I'd have to fix that, and the bent grille, and then I'd give it an ice base/clear paint job. Then I'd be afraid to use it for fear of scratching that sweet paint job. On second thought, just leave the headlights cross eyed and tell yourself it gives the tractor character.
😄👍
Great Video. Thanks. That Boom worked great. :-)
You could always hang weights on the front to mitigate the front lifting.
What it must be like to own such a huge bit of land with all those trees.
Regretfully as much as I would love to build my own log cabin
The chance will never come now.
I think yhe saw mill is the best bit of gear going, you can use it s you said to cut lumber for others and to sell, so it really pays for itself..
Great camera work, as usual. Best wishes to all of you.
Nice one again! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Looks like it worked like a champ
Ronald Parady Sure did!
here in Australia that tractor is illegal,would have to have a roll bar fitted,also a counter weight on the front of the tractor would help ,even 100 kilo on the front would allow greater lift capacity on the boom,but careful not to exceed the weight limit for the boom,i am so enjoying your vids,and i admire your motivation,keep it guys.
Excellent quality video!
Machines are pretty amazing, huh? :)
If you have a minute, you should look into a hydraulic top link for the 3 pt hitch.
We use these on our tractors for pallet forks, logging, etc. AMAZING difference.
Well worth the $200.
Good luck
