Logging Upgrade! Tractor Boom Pole- Ep39- Outsider Log Cabin
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2018
- My dad and I have been on a journey to build our own log cabin. This series of videos is a 'behind-the-scenes' look of our bigger "Log Cabin on a Budget" series.
In this episode: I test out a new logging tool, we gather logs and stack them onto seasoning piles, and I deliver some cedar posts. All with the help of the new tractor boom pole. We are now ready to resume construction on the log cabin. Finally!

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
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.
Cherish these times with your dad making memories! I miss my dad every day.
Boom poles are incredibly useful and not that expensive. Definitely worth having one.
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….
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.
Thank you for the updates! Well appreciated...
Everytime I have free time I watch all your videos keep up the good work.
Boom pole = Skidder 😁😁😁
Good, useful implements can save the day. Not to mention, a back!
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
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
A boom is worth it's weight in gold!
Great new tool! Continued good luck with it.
What makes your videos better is the narrating after the video its interesting and I'm 13 years old I love these stuff.
Really enjoying following your story. Thanks.
Easy peasy....well, easier. Keep up the work
Another stellar video. Thanks.
Great new tool! Congrats!
Great Video.. excellent idea with the boom pole
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.
Looks like FUN!
Build the cabin! Can't wait to see it.
Progress!
Progress!
Blessings!
What a nifty apparatus you got there! Super!
I knew this was going to be a game-changer for you
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
Great video. Keep posting 👍
Great job buddy
Excellent quality video!
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.
excellent vid as usual. One of my favorite channels. Thank you.
My dad had this tractor in the 70s ,,, nice tractor
Now that is a great addition
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.
Jedidiah agreed I think he does a great job as a steward
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.
verteup; Who said they will be used for quality timber lol...
@@jedidiah5131 letting trees mature and rot on the stump isn't good stewardship either.
Verteup; Who said anything about letting the trees mature and rot...!
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....
Good to see those off cuts of the trees are not getting wasted. Plus a little extra money from them too.
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.
Love your videos .
Great video really enjoyed watching it thanks for sharing 🚜 God bless
Boom pole works great! 👍
I love your life that you're working in .
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!
frederick j. moller Thank you! Yes I really appreciate the work that Shawn has done. I'm to hear that you enjoy my channel just as much. All the best.
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.
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...
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 ∆.
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.
I have two of those Massey 35’s that I use in the woods around the house. A set of ice chains on you back wheels would make a huge difference getting around . Bear paw chains pick up to much debris. Love your vids
Great Video 👍👍
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
That Massey is a great timber tractor. Big enough to get the job done but small enough to get through in the tight spots.
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.
You may find a front counterweight helpful. It is a great video. Good luck with your future work.
Great video again, my friend
MooseTrails Woodworking Thanks for stopping by!
Hydraulic push-bar would rock that thing i say! Its so nice to have on a contraption like yours
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.
Looks like it worked like a champ
Ronald Parady Sure did!
Great Video. Thanks. That Boom worked great. :-)
Nice one again! Thank you for sharing this with us.
great video
My grandfather has a same tractor, it's a Yugoslavian brand, IMT 539. Among some differences, it has a throttle pedal.
Nice addition! What a time saver!!! Not to mention back saver!
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.
Thanks for sharing your videos!! Love watching what you and your Dad are working on. 🙋🏼♀️
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.
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
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.........
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!
Machines are pretty amazing, huh? :)
Love the huge tires. The modern day tractors tend to have smaller tires.
Man, your Dad looking metal af with all those chains draped over his neck ~10min mark :D
Loving this project
Use to run a massey just like the one you have ,we used it building fences in central texas
Nice!! Work smarter not harder!!
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!
Now THAT'S how you move logs!
wow so good
You cannot count the number of us out here that would love to be doing what you are doing.
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
Another excellent video chapter, I like the inclusion of your drone views as well.
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.
you can always attach a counterweight to the front end to carry more weight
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.
Massey Ferguson, best wee tractor ever made, by an Irish man of course, I’m very proud of my wee country “Northern Ireland “
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 , 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.
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...
Silverwood Dairy milk tote - True sign your Canadian and from Ontario. I have a few but they are used for records.
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.
It’s a simple skidder:)
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.
Peewee.31 Good idea! Thank you.
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
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.
That's going to make this job and your life go a lot easier! #TO
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!
Thanks for the video. Nice addition. What ended up being wrong with the tractor??
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.
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.
Brilliant...lovely tractor work,you could win a medal at farm competition events.
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.
You could always hang weights on the front to mitigate the front lifting.
Very impressive tractor skills‼️👍👍 Great piece of equipment ‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
