I'm a climber Lawns man love chainsawing winter time is off season so I'm getting wood all done for the next year love it.👍 diving fishing little hunting 😆.💪 all sorts.
I’m in Ohio. Going to be high 50s this coming week And the guy next door asked me to take down 12 to 15 cottonwood trees. All of them around 12” diameter Normally I have to drive to find free firewood!! Score
That's an excellent score. Guys will give u a hard time about cottonwood but I burned it for years it's fine. Close and free are the main things in firewood
Hi Ben!!😀😀 I will just love hanging out with you while you are making firewood!! If you want to ask any questions go ahead!! I've been doing firewood for over 45 years now and know just about every trick in the book when it comes to doing it. Looking forward to following along!! Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
In northern Ohio, I'm hoping the 50's and 60's weather starting here tomorrow will start to dry up this mud we have, and get back to the woods to clean up several downed trees. It's just been too muddy, or too much snow on the ground, to get back there and clean up the mess from winter. I am on 7+ acres, with a pretty good 2 acres of woods, and trees (like ash dying) seem to come down regularly when the wind blows. Also, lost a few big dead pine trees in there this winter. I only use them for fire pit burning, but, I have the use of a Timberwold TW5 that i borrowed and have stored for a friend. Nice job on handling the offload, and not damaging the trailer, or the excavator, too.
Nice load of logs there Ben. I need to get a dump trailer so I can get a tree service connection. Much easier that way. Thanks for sharing brother!👍🏻👍🏻
Good video. That Bobcat just earned its keep on that load of logs. I thought I could hear geese in the video and thought I saw their shadow on the ground when you were talking about the sun. Have a great week.
Showing your experience with the trailer. Im shure frist thing i would do is mess it up dumping that wood. Does your brother farm or cut wood? Please keep bringing us along to help motivate. Might grill some deer burgers today in Va.
G'day Ben, listen to that little thought it's always right but every time I've ignored it it's cost me once you do it's the single greatest lesson a man can learn. 👍.
Do you think it would be better for you if you had a wood shed to store your wood out of the weather for better burning wood in the winter. Maybe just a roof cover
Great video Ben and a great load of wood. I am ready for spring as well and look forward to the camping season, my family and I camp a lot during the summer while the kiddos are out of school. Aside from that, just the warmer weather as well as firewood gathering, cutting, and splitting. Heard the first signs of spring the other day when the birds chirp, music to my ears, cup of coffee and the birds singing. 😊👍🏻
Ben channels like yours are motivation for lots of us.. Just like my channel (not to toot my own horn) I show you how I do it wether that right or not (except safety) I don't really care. So far your channel has been just that for me.. Even the Excavating jobs you do are fun to watch as its a break from firewood.. Keep up the awsom content and we will be here to watch it..
I was going to say there must be a heck of a flock of snows and blues across the road! I even seen shadows of them flying over throughout the video. Good stuff Ben 👍🏻
Hi Ben nice job bud. Not sure if that tree service offers this service but I buy a whole log truck full of logs and dropped right where u want them. It takes the wasted time and wear on your vehicle and trailer out of the equation
@@survivingcountrylife7069 no, my woods. We have oak wilt here and if you break a branch off a tree, a beetle brings a fungus to the wound that kills the tree. Red oaks roots join together and then it spreads underground, killing all the trees. The state sets up guidelines to limit the spread. I'm OK with it I would rather save the oaks.
Another great video. We too down here in Virginia are looking forward to spring. The wife and I over seeded our yard last fall and have already mowed this past week. You can take a look when you get time on our channel. We look forward to watching your videos this year. Thanks for keeping it real.
Will be watching all of your journeys. Would love to see more of the country around you, when the fieldwork begins. My moms family homsteaded in north central Ks, and looks very similar to your area. I miss the yearly pheasant hunts at Thansgiving!
Cold here in Western Pa. this morning, Sun out, but it has been 19 at night. Might warm up to 50 next week. They need to thin the flock out and feed the Vets and give to Homeless shelters. I sorry, what is your first name, Thanks for sharing your video's.
Hope you have better luck with the bobcat e35 than I did... my engine crapped out on me at 600 hours. Threw a rod through the block I bought the machine brand new. Went to John Deere gotta 35g long reach and it’s an amazing machine!!
Nice work Ben , and great load of wood. Keep ya busy a bit . You and family have a great week. Always enjoy the firewood stuff bud. ... Steak & Beer sounds like a winner SCL.
Thanks for sharing Ben, if I lived close by i would love to come and help you out, but instead I'll just keep on enjoying your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
@@survivingcountrylife7069 Roughly 820mile one way Be about 300$ in fuel If it’s going to be nice where you are im fine with sleeping on a cot in the garage or something so I’m not intruding on your space (I know you have wife and young child..some folks are funny about that stuff) Maybe chip in for some fuel? Feed me..place to sleep.. wash up and I’m good to go I have 30 plus saws. I can bring anything from a little homelite xl2 (26cc top handle) to a holzfforma g372xp Echo cs500p and other pro grade saws Trying to get a holzfforma g660. Which is a stihl ms660 clone (92cc)
Am I correct? It sounds like geese in the background. I live in the country in SC Nebraska and we get lots of geese migrating. I love hearing them when I’m outside. As I’m typing you just mentioned the geese so question answered. Keep blest and safe.
Just curious or nosey. Do you do any septic system installs? To me they look like a pretty good money making opportunity buy possibly for you the time required might prove difficult. They’re usually a crisis situation and need done immediately which would prove difficult with your employment. At any rate it’s awesome you now have the Dodge, dump trailer, and excavator to utilize with the firewood. Without them it’d be much more difficult and productivity would plummet. My $00.02 worth.
Good morning ! That was a nice load of wood, that ash sure gets tough as it dries out. Just out of curiosity how did you end up with a small excavator ?
Running our sawmill, and dreaming about the log splitter we've been waiting for.

Starting a garden and getting wood ready for next year
You need jpf to help you
I wish he was here. I like watching his shows
He's entertaining that's for sure
Sticky situation there but you handled it well. Never turn your back on those logs cause they are tricky lot. LOL
Here in NH we have another month of winter to go before getting "outside" w/o snow!
We are ahead of you then on less snow. It's definitely that get outside feel here now
Nice load of logs there Ben. I need to get a dump trailer so I can get a tree service connection. Much easier that way. Thanks for sharing brother!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man. I share the trailer with my brother so halves the cost. But have got so much use making things easier I don't regret the purchase at all
Good video. That Bobcat just earned its keep on that load of logs. I thought I could hear geese in the video and thought I saw their shadow on the ground when you were talking about the sun. Have a great week.
Work is what is coming up for this summer. Either at home or at my job. Got to get back to it or it won't get done.
Be greatful for that lovely equipment !!
I know I would be. I would be in trouble with out some way of unloading all of that.. Even with a dump trailer..
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood I totally agree .....

You might consider double checking that chain .
When you have captions on when the bobcat is backing up it says “so” lol
Ok I even had to check.. It says "So" hahaha
Man now thats all I am going to hear... Lol 😁👍
Do you think it would be better for you if you had a wood shed to store your wood out of the weather for better burning wood in the winter. Maybe just a roof cover
That was quite a load of firewood. Be safe when your working in the trailer with all that weight around you!👍
Great video, great job unloading the trailer.
We did a little tree trimming on Saturday. We are fair weather trimmers
Love your videos Ben. We do alot of the same thing here in central PA. Can't wait for spring. Fishing and Drag racing pretty much every weekend lol.
Maybe you could have dragged them big logs down from behind! :D
Great video, nice job with not beating up your trailer 👍
I am heading to my log pile to split some wood.

Thanks for another great video 👍
Hi Ben nice job bud. Not sure if that tree service offers this service but I buy a whole log truck full of logs and dropped right where u want them. It takes the wasted time and wear on your vehicle and trailer out of the equation
In Wisconsin were supposed to stop cutting in the woods April 1st. So it's a mad scramble to getter done.
How come they got that law. So this must be in public woods ?
@@survivingcountrylife7069 no, my woods. We have oak wilt here and if you break a branch off a tree, a beetle brings a fungus to the wound that kills the tree.

Thank you sir. I will check out your channel. I've got new blades I still need to put on my lawn mower for this season

good job unloading the trailer you might have to take the chainsaw to that plastic bottle it is tough
Haha. It sure was

My names ben. My wood stove is running on less than half the wood it was when it was 20 degrees out. We are about done with winter it feels like
Hope you have better luck with the bobcat e35 than I did... my engine crapped out on me at 600 hours. Threw a rod through the block I bought the machine brand new. Went to John Deere gotta 35g long reach and it’s an amazing machine!!
Dump trailer 101 your local Walmart has battery tenders on sale best thing for a dump trailer does not overcharge and you can leave it on for months
Nice load of firewood! Keep up the good work!
Lets get to splitting Ben 🤗
Damn good video. Thanks. Craig. Pa.
Nice work Ben , and great load of wood. Keep ya busy a bit . You and family have a great week. Always enjoy the firewood stuff bud. ... Steak & Beer sounds like a winner SCL.
Thanks richy. I appreciate your watching and input on comments
I’m in northern Indiana. We are doing maple syrup now. I have milk cows so we are hauling manure and getting ready for planting soon, hay after that!
Good stuff, Ben. Time to make some hay...
er...firewood now that it's warming up
Your Bobcat cuts wood too?
Thanks for sharing Ben, if I lived close by i would love to come and help you out, but instead I'll just keep on enjoying your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
I to got a pile of wood and just got started on it today.
It's the right time of year. Beautiful weather compared to what it was
@@survivingcountrylife7069 it certainly is!
With the title of the video I was thinking you had crushed the 461 with Bobcat.
Yes I'm trying a naughty title to see if it increases viewership or doesn't matter. It's naughty I know but thought I'd try
Another good video there ol' boy👍
Very entertaining Ben ! You seem to prefer the big logs 😏🪵🪓🔥👍👏
Ben 0---Plastic bottle 1
Where ya live at? You provide me with room and board. And I will come up and help you this spring summer. I’ll bring my own saws
That sounds like a good deal to me. I live by sioux city ia

Awesome video, keep it coming brother!
Thanks man
Good morning ! That was a nice load of wood, that ash sure gets tough as it dries out. Just out of curiosity how did you end up with a small excavator ?
I had a small digging buisness I did with a plumber for about 8 years.
So, do no longer do water lines?
@@budgillett9627 I would but that plumber hasn't been finding us work. So I just do what I can
Nice.😆
3:15 lool thanks for making me laugh
Same here..i was expecting it to burst open when he ran over it.. Lol
See how nice the saw cuts compared to that Stihl 029 piece of garbage you were using on the Elm a video or 2 ago?
Yes, you do need help, just like I do. I just wish I could be there to help you, andI wisyou could be here to help me . Have a great day Ben. h
