@@farwindowusa Depends if it was a couple ricks or 1 cord or 100 cords. 1 cord takes about a hour by hand depending on how narly the wood is. When in my 60s using a splitter about 30 minutes. I'm 69 now and stopped logging when i was 65 but still spilt and cut my own wood by hand. The work out is good for old farts like me. My family has been doing logging for over 100 years.

@@farwindowusa I started in the family business when i was 10 years old. We had contracts with Pot Latch with was the paper mill in Cloquet Minnesota. I did that till I was 21 years old.

man, i love the smell of fresh-cut wood. takes me back to my childhood
1👍I love the log and loader 19:02
Holy smokes! That feller buncher is insane! Never seen a machine like that before.
Those guys are like surgeons with those chainsaws! Super precise.
Exactly!
This brings back some memories! My grandpa used to work in a lumber mill
I remember going to a sawmill with my dad when I was a kid
This is way cooler than I thought it would be. Great video!
Thanks for posting this! I'm learning a ton about logging.
Im impressed by how careful they are with the trees
I could watch this stuff for hours
This makes me want to go camping in the woods this weekend.
Its good to see theyre replanting after they harvest
Whoa, check out the size of that grapple! It's like a giant claw.
Thats some serious horsepower! Those engines must be powerful
That skidder is pulling some serious weight. Those tires must be huge!
I wonder how much one of those harvesters costs. Probably a small fortune!
I bet it takes a lot of skill to operate those machines
Id love to see a video about how they make paper from trees
I bet that sawmill is loud in person! But it's cool to see how it works.
This makes me appreciate where all my wood furniture comes from.
Those log loaders are like something out of a monster truck rally!
Ive always been curious about how they get those logs out of the forest.
That forwarder is non-stop! Its like a little ant carrying a huge load.
I love those log splitters. To think back in the day we did all that by hand. Awesome...{q}
I'm so happy to have you as a viewer!
How long did it typically take to split a large amount of wood by hand compared to using a log splitter?

@@keeperofsecretsq-z1b Wow, that's great, with such heavy logging at this age do you see any health problems?
