I love ol dave u got goin 2 thank u for EVERY thing u fo an look foward 2 whats to come. Thank u for takin time to reply i know ur extremely busy stay safe.
That was awesome!! As a kid I wanted to be a lumber Jack nuthin like the smell of the forest and fresh cut trees and the smell of 2-stroke gas being burned 😁 great job Brotha you still got it !
Thanks for running those saws that you have been working on especially the MAKITA. It's like watchin Buckin trying out his client axes. It shows us who might want to purchase a saw or axe some useful demonstration that they work well. Gary Veldhuizen
Man. Mr Harv/Iron horse that Weaver belt looks comfortable. Sure a bother when my Carhartt bibs keep unlatching the shoulder strap buckle. Good content Mr Harv. Love the logging stories you share with us. STAY SAFE MR. HARV /IRONHORSE WE KEEP WATCHING YOUR SHOW UP HERE IN ALASKA .
*"I LOVE THIS!" haha Look at you, Harv. Trudgin' around, back in the wood and swinging power saws. Lookin' almost fit. You dropped a bunch of weight since Buckinstock I think. You can take the logger out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the logger!"*
Love it mate, I’m only just getting into saws and timber work as a hobby. I’ve watched a few of your videos now, and see what you can do with a saw has me wanting to find junker and doing her up a bit, well at least get her running. Top stuff 👍🏻
Love this video. Really enjoy watching those plunge cuts on those problem trees. Very interesting and educational. I always used the traditional cuts but that plunge cut gives you a lot of control. I am going to try it soon here is ne ct on my 400 acre farm I cut on. Thanks again.
Great video!! Amazing work on that bad tree! Youre truly a professional! I love to see the techniques used on eastern falling. I cant wait to meet you and learn from you someday!!! STAY SAFE!!
Harvey, that Makita/Dolmar is impressive. It cut very smooth. Great job falling those trees. I liked the bore cut through the over and under cuts and the wedge banged on side of holding wood. You dropped the tree right on it side close. That skidder must be a handy machine. Good amount of trees for the log truck!
Seeing that timberjack at work gives me memories of driving my dads orange 240E. Very reliable skidders! We owned a few 230’s and one 240. Large river red gum in australia definitely put them through their paces!
Good to see you're back out in the woods practicing your trade, hard wood trees are a whole different ball game I'm from the West Coast like Buckin I live on the mainland side he lives on the big rock. Watching this I can see hardwoods you guys have are not stringy or really fiberous.
Came over from Buckin's page! Lots to learn here. Being in Oklahoma I have half deciduous trees on my property so I definitely will be watching how you work to learn more!
Michael Fresh oh ok. So kinda like grafting a branch from a apple tree onto something else is especially what ya mean. Never heard it called that before. Interesting
Michael Fresh what’s your favorite firewood? Everyone has a fav but sometimes stick to what’s around their property also. So what’s most prevalent and what kind do ya wish there was more of? I have a good mix of ash, cherry, maple, and some beech. My favorite is the Elm, but it’s scarce do to them dying off. I been collecting the dead, and tending to the ones still alive, which is only 4
Love watchin ya cut Harvey, no doubt youv'e put alot of tree's to bed. Large stand's of of ash borer killed tree's in Ohio, great firewood ,but left standing to long raise's the pucker factor a little more. Great job.
Nice work Ironhorse. I have done a lot of dead Ash removals i have had a few barber chair even when plunge cutting. Where i went wrong was too shallow of a face cut and two thick of a hinge. God bless and happy new year. Hope to see you at buckin stock.
Way different for sure ... for one the wood is much harder than the pnw ... for two “west-coast port-jobs” cost ya an arm and a leg and seem more s/u for the fir and redwood (softer on Janka scale) i.e. powerband just ain’t got as much low end as these “east coast” wny builds ... maybe splittin-hairs here but I can tell the difference in powerband cuttin hard maple ; locust and hickory with “west coast product” for sure ...
That's a good number lvrgun. I am wondering about the necessity of the bore cuts, is that so you have time to make the hinge exactly where you want? Harvey, I remember you saying something about conventional in the east bc of bigger root flares. I would like to hear your thoughts on the cuts too. Like the second take on the first cut of the last ash, changing the angle or decided to move the hinge? I'm just hungry to learn more to be ready for the situations I find in Pa
@@fabzacres-blackcat How do you know? I've cut on both sides of the country & some wind beaten costal douglas fir has more density than any ash or redoak that I've ever cut. Not to mention osage orange & the gambut of other hardwoods out west. Eadt coast cutters have it easy, that's why you see so many of them running a bare bones setup iE no wedges, a saw with a puny 20" bar, no caulk boots, etc... When I first started working in western NC doing contracts, I ran my ported 660 with a 32" bar & square ground chain (my go to setup) & I used west coast cutting techniques. Not only did I produce 3X what was normally cut, I did it with 1/3 of the effort. This guy spends 5 minutes on a stump juat so he can slab the butt log LMAO...
@@fabzacres-blackcat Dude you have NO IDEA what you're talking about. & I suspect it's because you don't actually have any real world experience falling timber on both east & west coast....
Good lord I wish I had one of those timber skidders for my woods. I live in gaines michigan and the ground has never froze yet. My skidder is my 72 masssey ferguson 135 and a boom pole with a chain. My ms 391 and my ms 361 had bad chains so I'm cutting everything with my ms 170. But it took me 4hrs to pull out 4 cords of wood from trees I fell or fallen down ask I think one pull with that skidder would have been that amount. But at least I have something. Sweet video
please note folks how far away harvey is able to get from the tree when falling he is already in the clear and able to as he so aply says "put his head on a swivel " and watch for hazzards much safer than chase cutting i.e. finish the cut while tree is falling !!!! well done ol logger well done !!!!!
well said stump and the older you get the more time you need to get away from the stump. brain say's one thing your legs say another. 2 old birds that should get your attention. Respect you both...

Hey Ironhorse That’s a darn nice belt you have there. I just received the same one 😁. Gotta watch those ash trees. I’ve cut a few hundred of them and they do all sorts of goofy things. Take care and happy holidays
Woodchuck We all know Harvey is a risk taker! He rides Motorcycles for goodness sakes! He has huge work horses! You are still gonna be subscribed and watch! Aren’t YOU?
Hope you are making logs out of some of those trees. Some still have log value in them and being from upstate and a logger I know those ash trees can bring anywhere from 2000-500 a thousand
Good Ol Deutz.. those damn things don’t even break a sweat. Hardly can even warm one up enough in the winter to clear the smoke! That a 240A? I’ve got the 5 cylinder Deutz in my C5D TF, I like it very well.
Yeah looks like someone painted like a 240C. I've seen a handful of 240As with deutz they're a good engine. My 240A had a 3-53T detroit, probably my biggest business regret was selling it
now there is a happy man ,, nice work Cullen
Genuinely... thanks for the tips. Does help alot. I'll get better an better at this with ppl like you guiding me along. Thanks brother

New York state
Good video iron horse, hello from Herkimer County. Similar ground to what we got, and unfortunately similar taxes. Lol have a good New Year.
Cool video harvey .i like that skidder .it sounded like you said it was air cooled that was a surprise i thought it would be liquid cooled.
Great video, really enjoy watching. That makita/dolmar is sounding good she cuts!
We got emerald ash borer and oak wilt by me in northern Wisconsin too. Hundreds of acres of dead standing oak with bark off. Firewood heaven
We got the Dutch elm disease over here in the northern tier and the ash bore
Michael Fresh oh ok. So kinda like grafting a branch from a apple tree onto something else is especially what ya mean. Never heard it called that before. Interesting

Awesome video bubba. I've never seen the means and methods of your dynamics implemented in that manner before. Nonetheless very skilfully done.

Some skilled felling there. In the UK, Ash is used for tool handles but it is also considered to be the King of firewoods, what does it get used for in the US?
Sledgehammer handles, and flooring which looks similar to Oak.
king of firewoods in the uK ?

The Firewood Poem
Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut's only good they say,
If for logs 'tis laid away.
Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be;
But ash new or ash old,
Is fit for a queen with crown of gold
Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
it is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold
But ash green or ash brown
Is fit for a queen with golden crown
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom
Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter's cold
But ash wet or ash dry
a king shall warm his slippers by.
@@thepotterer3726 That's a really cool poem might just have to tuck that one away to teach to the boy some day. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍

Who did that paint job I have seen that saw on your channel love the paint job. I would love to do one like this on my saw
Bloody beautiful! !! Mate😆💪💪 Nice.😆 job.💪
Smell that wood! Good logs good saw good sawman, I watched twice
Wished I was there with y’all!
Nice job ! shame we're losing these ash trees. Down here in orange county Ny there are so many standing dead it's crazy.
We have EAB infested ash galore here in wny - damn shame
nice work... this makes me miss workin with my dad.

Keep it up guys be safe be Kind God bless
Good job taking out the rotten tree it was interesting to see how you took out that tree😎😎😎😎😎
Great work by the camera man
Thanks brother. Lol had to watch the tree and film at the same time.
Interesting video !!
Hope you are making logs out of some of those trees. Some still have log value in them and being from upstate and a logger I know those ash trees can bring anywhere from 2000-500 a thousand
Very interesting video. Is anything done to treat the stumps or are they allowed to sprout back from the stumps?
heard of your channel from the morgans channels, watch a couple videos very good work
Not too shabby, old timer. 🌿🌳🌲🌳🌿
