Yep...foot was tappin...Mighty fine pickin!! Maybe you should consider buying a couple more Ultra's Chris...LOL. Yes I have 6 older Stihl's that I rotate when cutting. Their not new saws, but very reliable. Enjoyed the music and watching the Ultra zip thru the rounds.
@@InTheWoodyard Yeah...those Powersplit'ers really got the options. Nice machines. Get the double mounted model and I'll drive out to WI to help you out once and a while...LOL
Yes I am aware of it, it's called the ultra. Nice machine but I would prefer a Powersplit, it moves it self and is the original vertical fast splitter.
My wife and I enjoy your vids with our morning coffee. I agree with multiple saws. I do the same. Have 3 sizes because we cut in the woods. I also change chains and sharpen on a Oregon bench grinder. Lots of public lands in NW New Mexico and SW Colorado. Going to add a 572 soon. I think it will run better at high elevations. We cut Aspen at 8000 ft. above sea level. Good morning Irene.
That is awesome Harvey! Thanks for watching. Does your wife work in the firewood production too? The 572 will do you well, the auto tune should help at altitude.
@@InTheWoodyard My wife helps stack after splitting and sometimes goes to the mountains with me. It is a great trip, 60 miles one way, and the scenery is amazing. I can cut a lot a hardwoods just 20 minutes from my house.
My foot isn't tapping, but I was mesmerized. We kindly request less time-lapse. This video is only 16 minutes long and now I have to sit here and do nothing for 23h and 44m until 6:30am tomorrow. I know, "go out... work... blah... blah..." hahaha! Hey, thanks for letting me bless you with the check. I know it doesn't change your retirement date, but seriously I am so appreciative for the time and effort you expend responding to EVERY comment, the daily posts, etc. Question for a future voice-over. What is that pile in the middle of your wood yard that you encircle? Is it dirt that never got leveled or something? Maybe it's not a pile, but on video it looks like elevated ground. See ya tomorrow!
Thanks so much Michael! I will have some longer videos soon with no time lapse! The hill is a berm that I had put there for my photography business 20 years ago for photography purposes. Now it's in the way and I might get rid of it some day!
Thanks for the video. Family's all you got! Don't know the TH-cam rules and i don't care about PETA but i wish you could film your beaver trip and show it to us. Thanks
Hi Chris, nice video. you have ben hinting about a new saw. Have you thought of a 562 xp with the same bar and chain as your 572? Tim at cotontop3 just got a new 562 and cutting pretty big stuff. This saw is lighter and less expensive than the 572.
Thanks Chris for the tips on multiple saws 👍. I live in Wisconsin too 1 hour North of Madison. Town is Montello newt to lake puck away and Green Lake Love Your Video and work Ethic. Greg
I run 3 saws of different sizes when I’m in the woods but I carry extra sharp chains for the saws so when a saw goes dull I can quickly just swap out the chain and keep going
Actually a little surprised after seeing how much wood you cut that people ask you why you use 3 saws to cut with, it really is a no brainer. The ware and tare factor alone should be self explanatory. Looks like some great inventory there. Hopefully your brother can run by and check on your mom and dad. Take care and keep cookin!
Thanks Tom. There are four of us kids and someone stops in every day now in case they need something or just to visit, while we can. I go every three day or so now.
Makes a lot of sense to me to run multiple saws. Of course my situation is a little different, big tree saw, thinning tree saw, trimming saw, and a couple few meat and potatoes saws. Even if I worked in a proper woodyard all the time, I'd have at least 3 (two meat and potatoes and one smaller one).
Call me a trader, I have been browsing other wood yard shows, and they are all good. Some are new to the business, some have more drama, and all have good potential, but at the end of the day , without counting you tube money, your dollar's spent per cord versus dallars return on your operation is tremendous, and at the end of the day, your book keeping costs and balance has never seen the colour Red.
Chris how do you do all this on you own ?Do you think you should hire somebody to help you?Also what do you do for the other business its wood also ?LOve you videos i waite for them everyday thanks for all you do stay warm the warm weather is coming soon lol
I do 97.359% of it all by myself. I have a high school kid do some stacking in the summer. My other business is a full time photography studio 31 years now, my wood yard is behind the studio. Thanks for watching, see you here tomorrow!
Ya know, the more I watch you in the woodyard. I think an elevator into your dump trailer then move it to where you want to stack. Then pull out of tilted trailer. Tractor is a nice toy, but not sure it would save you labor?
True, but if I get a wood processor I need to feed it and a tractor would be good for a lot of other things too. And I agree, for now it would be more of a toy like most of the other peoples tractors. HA!
is that wedge adjustable? only problem for me is im cutting storm damage so i have a lot 20 inch or bigger chunks to split. so i would almost need a table to set them on with my skid steer.
when you decide to buy more equipment rent or demo a skid steer and a tractor and see what you like best, i have a skid steer and for me it is better than a tractor and they hold resale well.
I wish I could split all day,, but I'm busy doing easier work for easier money. I like the idea of having more than one saw so that you can keep at it while the adrenalin pumping. I don't take long breaks for lunch and when I do stop, its just to check the phone for business and I find myself walking around and doing stuff in the last minute or two of my 5 minute break. I hate having to sharpen even with my electric sharpener and have been changing chains instead of sharpening them til death and I just bundle up used chains in a container full of oil until I sell them in bulk. I don't cut more than a few hours a week and I can get a up to a month, maybe more without sharpening. I only get city trees but nails and hardware are not a common problem
That’s a solid days work . Your work attitude and work ethic are your success , I love it . That’s a PILE of wood you split today . Keep up the great work !!
Morning Chris! Glad to see it got dark before your arms fell off! Those might come in handy for splitting the rest of the rounds tomorrow morning.😁 GNI
Another productive day. The other day I commented on the power split and meant to say I've seen good and bad reviews. I love the concept over bending over a horizontal splitter. But ended up buying a processor since I already had a backhoe loader.
@@InTheWoodyard A processor will add years to your life by not having to spend a day cutting rounds, lift onto the splitter and throw into a pile. All done now playing with joysticks, more than doubles production. I'm thrifty like you and a bit older but enjoy doing firewood. Pulling some cash out of the house to get a log trailer with grapple now.
Bout spit coffee across the kitchen when you asked if my foot was tappin... yup it was! Good days work right there. Chuckled at the buzzer comment too!
The smallest amount is a face cord but I sell a lot of 2,3,4,5 face cord loads and some people who heat with it up to 4-5 full cords too. $110 a face cord delivered.
@@InTheWoodyard Enjoy your videos and work ethic. Wish we we had some of that maple, Ash and great firewoods. It's all live oak and mesquite in San Antonio. And that is great mesquite is great but when it comes to buying the live oak getting it seasoned or even semi seasoned is a gamble because it takes so long to be cured.
Good idea with the waste oil, but watch out for the enviomental !!!!’s. Hehe. Great music. One way to get going in the morning. Great you can stand there that long. I think I’d be in the hospital if I did that. Arms still on is a good thing. Have a good day.
Ni Noel - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Over here many folk spray or paint waste oil on wooden sheds and fence posts to preserve them. Also, it is used to spray the underneath of vehicles and farm trailers as it sticks to metal while new oil just washes off, especially in Irish rain. As you intimated, the environmental lobby could get upset.
Hi Rodney. Yes we do the exact same thing here in Prince Edward Island. But we try to keep it a secret , hehe. So the envomental !!!’s don’t hassle us. We use to wash garage floors with kerosene to get the oil and grease off before the next days work on vehicles, then hose it outside. I have a can of anti-seize that says on the can to , wash all parts in gasoline, before assembly. You’d all most be shot nowadays if you did these things.
Nice to see that the amount of split wood is increasing in the yard again! I think you said that you've sold out every year, and made more wood for the next year. As far as I remember you quite recently talked about raising the prices slightly for next year. Are you approaching to be sold out this year also? Any goals for the amount of wood next year?
Because of the Covid I cut a lot more wood this year and I should not run out. Yes I think next season I will charge more. Goals...... all of the wood.
Been running 2 for a long time...just had them reworked, your points are all valid, even the pinched saw...LOL liked the music this time really well done video. if your foot is not tapping your probably dead.....
Wow that's a whopping stack of wood there...When will the stacking in face cords begin?? Will you be putting all those pallets in one place??? Really enjoyed the walk you had with your Dad recently!!
G’morning Chris. Good show today !! You just can’t get much done can ya ? ;). Love the tunes !! Keep up the good content ! Should you happen to see her, bid her a good evening
of the wood we see total, what percentage was cut last year and that you have remaining to sell in the next 30 or so days? Can I assume approx 90% of the wood I see is for next winter?
Just wondering when you are splitting all-day do you do mixed splits or one type of wood? I noticed you have separated wood types but do you also have as mixed stack so if you split a mixed load you don't have to separate them into the separate piles. Hope you get that tractor it will make many things more efficient and time saving along with saving a back. I am amazed at your stamina. With the multiple equipment I was always a believer to have multiples for any break down or problem doesn't ruin the day. I was in auto detail for 25 years and that was always the solution to many days of possible ruining a day. Awesome video. Do you use music to keep you going? I always do. Seems to make the day less stressful.
Yes I have five saws but 3 main ones and I am getting another one. I have two splitters but haven't used the old one in 9 months. I separate the wood mostly by where it is placed for off loading the truck but also separate the strays too. Music and talk radio yes!
Hi Dan - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I've been intrigued for some time to discover how Chris's long awaited tractor is going to enhance production unless his mode of operation changes substantially. Even then I have challenged him to justify how any increased production will finance the $25k investment. I think the jury is out on this one, I for one am sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation. In the meantime - Keep on Splitting!!
You should invite Joe over to show him what a real days work is. I Enjoy your

You got that right!I always said large firewood production is like running a marathon.

Yes multiple saws is more efficient and productive.
