Because of your first video on the UForce 1000 I did some research and ended up buying a UForce 600. I had been looking for a side by side for a while and had never considered CFMoto thinking they were an inferior brand. From everything I read and all the videos I watched it appears I was very wrong. I'll be getting my UForce 600 sometime this week. I can't wait to get it in the woods and put it to work. Dave
Just bought a UForce 600 yesterday! Happy Adam turned me on to the CFMoto brand.
@@alcopower5710 I actually ended up selling it and buying a 1000. We found the 600 a little noisy for just cruising around the property and long term we figured we would be better off with a 1000.
Other than being a little noisy I had no complaints about the 600. I actually really liked it for in the woods. It's smaller and steers easier than the 100 and I think it had more ground clearance. For the money the 600 is hard to beat. Dave
Good to see you out there working on wood again. That is what got me watching and subscribing.
The trees are beautiful! Thanks for sharing, because we don't have those colors yet! Thanks for another great video! God bless you and your family! ❤️ 👍
Nothing like having your own land and taking your 4 by 4 back into woods and cutting firewood. Thanks for sharing and - by the way - those fall colors look awesome against that blue sky!
Hello Adam, Great Meeting and Chatting at The Paul Bunyan show, Getting Beautiful here in Northern Virginia Also. Take care and stay safe 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
I have a 2020 uforce 1000. I love the power it has for hauling. Uforce 1000 is 5 inches wider then the ranger. Amazing machines. Great content
Yes, the colors of the leaves are coming in great!
Great video Adam. The fall colors in Ontario Canada are beautiful. The red and oranges are so vibrant. Thanks 👍.
Just a beautiful professional video.
I really like the wood cutting videos with music. Just like the TH-cam beginning - before the pond, garage and all your new toys.
Feels like a day going back to your roots…
Very enjoyable all the way through
Fabulous backdrop with the trees!!! Beautiful wood, too!!!
Great use for the new side by side. Keep us updated on how this machine works out. Looking to add another utility machine.
I really like working off the loader or the ATV like that. Not having to bend over to load the splitter really helps your back. We usually load our ATV that heavy. It is nice to load in the baskets. Sometimes not overwhelming with the smaller loads rather than a huge pile. Good to see you are still enjoying cutting. Hope you're having a great weekend. I would also think you would have a lot of trees that have fallen to cut up. It been windy here east of you. Seems the power trucks have been busy the last month. My friend had a huge oak that came down in the windstorms.
I started doing a lot of research on the CFMoto after watching your purchase video. I've found a dealer and will be heading there soon to place an order - most likely after the 1st of the year. I need a little helper on the ranch and the UForce 1000 looks like a great fit. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Something very cathartic about slitting wood. I remember doing it, by hand, many years ago to help my Uncle out who heated with wood. Thanks for sharing!
Great video Adam, as usual a brilliant display of colour on your land, also very artistic video, well done. Over here we are also having a beautiful autumn, cheers
Nice to see you wearing safety gear while using the chain saw. I cringe when I see some folks not using any (RPR for example heath already cut his foot).
Eric McRae, RPR is what my Dad would call an "All talk & no show guy".
It's just a matter of time before his luck runs out. His wife really has no say in things!
I always enjoy your videos. Have a great day! God Bless you and yours.
Love the new toy. Anything that makes the job easier is a great investment. The house looks beautiful with the new addition. Great video as always.
Nice side by side, it was great to meet you at the show
It was nice meeting you as well Larry!
I'm in Massachusetts so we have beautiful fall foliage. Love that part of PA. I grew up in Eastern Ohio.
Pretty cherry wood, now time to build that solar kiln! Solar powered, wind powered!
Nice to see someone can cut firewood without measuring or putting something on the saw to get the length.
Looks good !
I have the 21 ufroce 1000. 300-400 miles on it used only in the winter in MT for hunting.
Beautiful fall colors there. Great time to be out processing firewood
Congratulations on 108k subscribers, well deserved,
Thank you!
Wow, what beautiful colors you have there. Thanks for sharing with us. ---Oklahoma City
Good video. Thx
I see the Holzfforma saw is running well.
Fall is a beautiful time of the year!! Glad you like your new side by side i think you made a good purchase!! Stay safe always!!
such a great burning wood, makes the best coals and smells amazing
ODWM vibes on this one!
Adam was great finally meeting you at PB. It was my first show and you’re right there is something special about that show that the Great Lakes Logging Show in WI/MI just doesn’t have.
Stay safe. TCT
It was great meeting you as well Tony! Congrats on the success of your channel so far!
I seen a couple clips in here you filmed with your new devise. See, I payed attention to the detail. Out of focus background and crisp on the firewood. Nice!!
I filmed this entire video on the new device lol
Looks like it's a very capable side by side, I was to chicken to try one and ended buying a new Ranger 1000. I'll follow your review on it,maybe next one.
Very good to see you are back.
Hey Adam, really interested in how the CFMOTO performs. Please keep us updated. Thank you for the great videos.
You should look into getting the outerwear air filter cover for your uforce. Also MSC cycle is a great source for parts and accessories for your uforce.
Hay Fabio, Rob here from Main Street Cycle. Thanks for the MSC shout out ! Hope all is well!
Bar is about 18” long… try using it to measure your cuts for bucking. Will make for more consistent stacking and burning when split.
Beautiful color. 2 seasons in Phoenix.
Beautiful property! Hope you have a line on your to do list to enjoy it!
Im with you on not cutting in the hot months. Im busy now, cutting and splitting, when i have time.
Dogs and 100K + are a good thing
That unforced paid for itself already. Good for you..
Oklahoman here. 🫡 nice land. Keep it nice
Fun to watch you work or for some play👊
Maybe a new free camera came with the Uforce 1000? Love the footage with the Bokeh effect! I love this time of year. - - Good to see you cutting wood! I've got some downed trees that I've been mowing around to go get myself!
I know you were busy at Bunyan, but I really enjoyed talking to "Neighbor Doug". Good to see you back on the saw.
Wish I would have gotten a chance to talk to you but I’m glad I brought Doug with me
@@HometownAcres We're not too far away, we are in your area occasionally. We hit Avalanche Express in the winter, buy stuff at The Boot Box and my son bought his Explorer used off Palmeiro Toyda and goes there for service. So there's a good chance our paths will cross at some point. Of course, if you ever want to tour a Maple Syrup bottling plant in a 1930's G.E. Lighting plant, I think we could make that happen.
Gotta throw the drone up so we can see all the tree colors!
About the only time I cut firewood in the summer if a tree falls down on my road or if I find easy access to it where I can back right up to it and it's free.
We have lots of hardwoods here in the Arkansas Ozarks, but with a second major drought still going for this year, we probably won't get a lot of color.
Great camera quality
Question? Do they make a strong tray w grates that you can quick pick with the tractor? It would save you a step if you picked up logs over this 8 - 10 foot tray… cut the tree in grapple over tray on the ground..and then pick all the log rounds in the tray with the tractor … pull up right next to splitter with small tilt.
You could then just roll the rounds from tray onto splitter instead of picking up twice…bet neighbor Doug could make one with expended steel and tractor quick hitch ….thanks for sharing!
I was thinking about a 570 ranger but I'm going to check out this u force 1000 for sure now
If you had a small utility trailer to pull behind that you could cut more rounds and move them closer to the splitter quicker. I can pull 1500 lbs with my 500S and find it very handy with the small 4x6 trailer.
Adam, I was just running down my channel list and I remember a while back you had mentioned Eric from Life in Farmland had some health issues going on. Just wondering if you heard how Eric is doing. Hope all is going well for you and your family. 👍🏻
Beautiful
Great channel. Your property looks super. The machine looks good. I steer clear of Chinese products on principle.
Nice video Adam. Glad the UForce is working out for you, we have a Kubota RTV 1100, love that beast but it has zero capability to do trail riding. Question, I saw you had a Holzforma bar on your saw, wondering how you like it? I have a Holzforma G660 and like it except for the lack of vibration damping. I just paid $76 for a Stihl bar, OUCH.
ADAM, looks like a great day again today to be outside cuttin and splittin, but being an accountant, yer prolly sittin at a desk! Good stuff, liked the music too!
The looks echo the canam defender.
I'm thinking about selling my utv and getting one of these now after watching your videos on it.
Also check out REAL TALK POWERSPORTS on TH-cam for more info on the cfmoto U1000
Would like to know, what the towing limits are. A trailer might be a useful tool.
Great video but curious to how the pond is filling up with the new siphon system? Maybe an update coming ?
Hey Adam, the common theme I’ve heard from others that visited the Paul Bunyan event is the need to cut wood after getting back home… and you wasted no time 😂. Mike Morgan showed footage of the Eastonmade 48C at the event and man, that machine is a cutting and splitting beast !!! Hey, when you do get around to a review of the CFMoto, I’m interested in hearing your experience with turning on grass since it’s reported the CFM doesn’t offer “turf mode” like the Polaris. And maybe some close up footage showing the rear wheels turning would be helpful. Thanks 🙏
I’ve learned that it is a limited slip differential in the rear so I haven’t really noticed it tearing up the grass too bad
@@HometownAcres That’s good to hear. I’m looking for a 6 person Crew next year and the issue of no turf mode threw a red flag for me. Would like to explore this more.
Wow, looks like heaven on earth Adam. That was a fun one. I was taken by your chain saw. Can you enlighten us about your Holzfforma chain saw set up?
Hey Jim I may cover this in another video
Man, I do miss cutting Lumber, and then hauling it out of the "back 40" with my 1987 Craftsman GT6000 Garden Tractor along with my 4' × 5' (20sqft) Trailer here in Western Washington State...
Those where the days, Rain/Overcast/Sun or Snow!
-Side questions;
(#1) Have you thought of using/obtaining an "Off-Road Styled" 4' × 6' (or similar dimension) Trailer for more Utilitarian Duties around the Property?
(#2) Are there Air Shocks that can be added to the Rear suspension of your Side by Side for heavier loads/towing capacity?
Hey mate , thanks for video , I have a 2022 U Force 1000 , it’s good though can be a pain in the arse to get into gear. Do you have any issues changing gears
Cheers
nice
Interesting wood splitter
I hauled a Catamaran and Jetboat over the Rockies with mine.
... With a side x side? That must have been an adventure!
@@v3124 Every ride in the Uforce 1000 is an adventure up here. I have a few Uforce uploads of my own, been pretty hard on it.
What brand is that shirt? Very nice. Like the ragland sleeves.
Nice video Adam. A complete “start to finish” of the firewood process. I really enjoyed meeting you at Paul Bunyan. Got a laugh out of Dan hiding your hat stock ha! - Dick
That cherry would make some very nice smoked jerky.
Now that I bought a gear/trans CK3510 last Oct 2021, how about you doing a update review on your CK3510se? Let me know if I need to be aware of something............
After owning a 2013 Rhino for several years, couple weeks ago while bring my firewood in, I decided I had enough of filling the bed with wood and then loose most of it's rear-end ground clearance. So I backed it in my shop and with 1 hr thinking and 3 hrs doing, I added a used pickup truck leaf-spring to the rear suspension. Now the rear-end hardly squats down at all with load of wood in the bed, plus 200 lbs of trailer tongue weight. And then whats great is, it only takes 5 minutes to un-bolt, if that. Also if spring breaks, used pick-up truck leaf-springs are easy to come by, one used truck leaf-spring that was laying around vs $800.00-1000.00 air-shock upgrade kit, as in the words of Roy Rogers, yippee ki yay...........
Nice! been hauling wood primarily with my uforce1000, its really nice!
I got both windscreen and the back window you got, how is it with only the back window?
only tried mine without windows and both installed, only back one installed it maybe nice in the hot summer?
Looks like have have to make some bed rails like you had on the ranger
Yeah I need to
I could almost smell that cherry wood when you were splitting it! How do you like the Holzfforma saw?
I’m on the fence about it. There’s no question it’s a great value for the price however you do sacrifice a little reliability in my opinion. It runs really well about 80% of the time and in my experience about 20% of the time it seems the carburetor needs retuned
Does this come with 90 day warranty, like the 1970's snowmobiles
I believe it comes with a 1 year warranty
The rear end on those doesn't hold up well to repeated heavy loading.
What kind of chainsaw is that?
Just a question from nosy sub, do you still make bundles 🤔
Not as many as I used to. We are now selling primarily through the roadside stands
How do you like the holtzfarma saw, been contemplating getting one because of the price.
It is great when it’s running well but I would say it’s probably a little less reliable. 80% of the time it runs really well and 20% of the time it seems the carb needs adjusted and is bogging down. I’m on the fence if I would recommend it or not
Actually, I'm looking for a kei truck with a dump bed that has a bad motor so I can make a cheap EV conversion to use for such.
I noticed you don’t wear chainsaw chaps, the only time you will need them is when something goes wrong then you’ll be overjoyed you wore them. Be smart not dumb as better to be prepared than not.
Check out a comparison chainsaw video Stihl virus Holzffora at "The busted wedge 20:51 video". Watch to the very end for a great tip.
Testing
Hauling algorithm
When you haul wood and if you have to stop quickly, the wood could launch forward and break that large rear window. Something to think about.
This seems like a semi-sponsored video. Glad it meets your needs.
I paid for this machine. Just a happy customer
Why not to use F150 for wood why to buy UTV? You should be more rational.
Utv is better in offroad situation and fits in the wood better
@@HometownAcres I agree, with the 150 you’d have to climb into the bed to get at the wood. Unless you stack it only in the rear.
@@blklbluvr but for saved 10K i would climbe to the bed. Also could buy better offroading tires on Ford. But sure f150 is to big in the woods
@@tomasisp he didn’t buy it just to haul firewood. He swapped out a previous one, Polaris, for more seating because of his growing family. The tires would be a $200+ per tire which is his everyday vehicle he uses on the road. I get what your saying but it’s not a feasible option in my opinion.
You just wanna brag about your new toy you recently bought.
