Great video Chris. The trailer locks are not a 100% but they sure slow them down and it makes them think twice about pulling in And just grabbing an easy trailer. Gotta tell you Chris though I'm not jealous that you got free wood. I got probably 4 to 5 semi loads of eucalyptus that I gotta get rid of on the job that I'm on right now and I will probably have to pay to dispose of it. So I guess I am more jealous of the tree guy that he has a free place to dump it.
Chris, my dad’s simple safety measure was to park his tractor in front of the trailers, lower the front blade plow and rear set of drags, take the coil wire off and enjoy his time away after boxing in the easily towed items🪵
8" x 5ft concrete with a large I bolt dug in my yard. I back my trailer over and chain the axle. They have cut a wheel lock and destroyed a few tongue locks but the axle chain has kept the trailer at home twice.
What a great win fall for you on your new supply of delivered free wood ! Slogging in the mud is no fund , but the work must go on ! Our muddy time for us in NC is mainly in February
ARLO makes a great security camera that can be setup on an app going to your phone. I use one on my property in Tennessee watching my camper. Detects motion and will zoom and track whatever it is seeing. Has great infrared and I use a solar panel to keep it charged. Mounted up in a tree where it is not very visible. Uses wifi service I have in the camper. Send me recorded video of everything it detects plus has a siren I can activate from the app as well as 2 way microphone.
Thievery is more common than we think, doesn't matter where we live. This week, Spring made the annual jump of April first to June first and it's muggy. That'll make splitting fun. I'm in Somers near Kenosha so farther south and more FIBs, both make for more hot air.
Hey Chris we put a small tracking device on our equipment hidden on a special place. We can track wherever our equipment is. Cheap insurance. Nice score of firewood, I see your still using my trick for poking a hole in the oil bottle. Cheers my friend.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 I forgot to take my piece of ash home with me. I guess I will have to come back and work again and then I can take two pieces home. LOL!! Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍 Logger Al
@@InTheWoodyard Just let me know when you are running wood again on the weekend and if you would like me to come and help. I would love to run the processor some more.
Get a few concrete stacking "Eco-Blocks" and build a long 2 block high pen to back the trailer in, then back the tractor in front with a grapple full of logs. I assume the tractor can't be shifted to neutral unless it's running. Install a hidden master switch on the tractor battery cable or remove the battery if going away. That should force more time to steal and easy to focus a security cam or 2 on your stuff. Great video!
When you said that there might be a little debris in the bucket, when I change my oil, I buy a bigger bottle of oil for a few oil changes, after the oil is drained I dump in a little bit of new oil and let that drain also, it helps flush out any dirt and most of the rest of the dirty oil, also on my trailer I use a lock on the hole for the hitch pin , just another little delay and hope they don't have a big pair of bolt cutters. I do have cameras up too.
I like using castrol gtx oil it’s formulated for high RPM engine’s. And I believe I would add another wheel lock on the other side rear wheel, in case they decide to pull the wheel they first see . Locking lug nuts will help keep on cutting
@@InTheWoodyard Two on the same side oughta do it! Yeah, a Lojack!! My BIL's nice new dump trailer went missing before he could do any of that!! It's almost like the thieves have their own tracker system!!
Chris when I bought my inclosed trailer last year I researched all kinds of trailer locks and every one of them had pictures of it being cut off or broken off. I bought them anyway like you hoping it will deter some loser who can’t buy there own trailer. After using my Milwaukee M18 Fuel grinder with a cutoff wheel for another project at home I realized those locks aren’t stopping anyone anymore that wants my trailer bad enough. I hope the losers out there don’t use the information you provided against you.
Nothing like getting a bunch of free wood. I usually get my wood along side of the road or in the woods. I do have a place where I buy wood that is cut offs or bad wood for them for $10 for a 5x8 utility trailer load. I pick what I want out of the pile and sometimes I cut it there depends on how big they are. It's only about a mile down the road from me.
I saw on u tube that a guy I have been watching hustle Nation. He uses pull pins in the place of the bolts for the coupler. I went and bought a couple pull pins myself to replace the bolts with pull pins.
Get a 4 pack of lock nuts for the tires. Should be tipping the tree service for @ least $20 total each time they drop off a load. Place a magnet hook underneath the oil outlet for the hanging bucket for oil change.
Chris, two things, get yourself a AMPLOCK U-BRA2516 Trailer Coupler Lock, the best available, and lock your safety chains in a way that they can't be used to tow away your trailer when they can't get to the ball coupler. Also a tracker is cheap insurance.
Tks , good you listen to me . It’s was time to fresh motor oil . Long it’s fresh oil Chris all oil work . I’m off to PARTTO TRUCK for oil filter for the lobster boat probably be around $600 bill for sure . Volvo 630 turn up to 1400 horsepower.
As soon as battery powered grinders were available everything was easy to steel. On your building insurance put the trailer and any other piece of equipment on the policy.
How long do you think the pusher beam will last on the Ultra? Would be nice if the pusher has sacrificial wear pads like its bigger siblings to make it last virtually forever.
Busy video Chris. Maybe you just need to get a building put up for all your "stuff". One of the better "investments" that will appreciate in value instead of depreciate. Out of sight / out of mind and a lot better for the equipment in winter. Put in floor heat with a wood boiler for when you want to heat it. I know a guy close by that sells firewood. GNI
Lots of people have made many good comments but a simple one I could add is put your wheel brace on upside down. If they want to hammer the lock then make them work for it. I've mentioned security before because it's terrifying what can and does get stolen. There are systems sold that are a combination of GPS and radio trackers that have a high recovery rate for stolen property. GPS is good except when the stolen goods end up in a building or similar because the signal is very often lost. That's when they use the radio tracker for isolating to a single building after the GPS has given the area. If your processor cost what I think I'd be putting a camp bed under the work bench in your building. You're going to be very disappointed reporting a theft to the Police because it'll be recorded as stolen and unless it turns up in another investigation they aren't going to be actually looking for anything. Being able to give them the exact location is another matter.
So, with a jack and a lug wrench, take the locked tire off, go get the spare on the other side, mount, tighten lug nuts, lower jack and go. LOL - You are right, just slowing them down.
Yes totally jealous of all that free Ash! You better tie all those logs down with chains. I’m gonna come raid the Woodyard 🤣 Nice content Chris!👍🏻👍🏻 GNI
I was coming home last Fri. with my truck and trailer loaded down with 20-24 in. Red and White Oak rounds when I had a blowout on my trailer. I unhooked at a safe place on the median and went to the yard to unload my truck then go back and get the trailer. When I returned it was gone! I followed the shredded tire trail for a ways but never found my trailer. I hope that person burns hotter that the wood I cut and loaded!!!
Morning Chris. Two things today! Do you ever have to change the Hydraulic Fluid on the splitter. It might be time to give your nephew Beau a call for some production assistance, if he is available.
My Dad always said he didnt care what I did in life,long as I was not a thief or a liar! Unfortunately a good insurance policy is probably your best option for recovery of anything. The comments about tracking devices. Our police are so overwhelmed that you could call with plate #,vehicle description, suspect info and the map of where it is and they won't even have time to fool with it. So that leaves you playing Wild West and trying to recover your own stuff. My luck the thief would call the police and I would get arrested for threatening them and trespassing and be cuffed n stuffed with my trailer sitting in their yard...
@@InTheWoodyard Really about all a guy can do unfortunately and hope for some good luck...Pathetic any hardworking man or woman has to worry about their stuff but it is the world we live in today ...😕
I keep telling you from when you had the wood stolen …… you need a decent dog.At home I leave the keys to the vehicles in the ignitions and don’t even have locks in the doors of the house … my dogs look after the lot
nice but the bad guys will get thru unless you get them and vehicle with license plate number and the spikes in the ground will work every time. Have a good one.
Tap with the hammer remove the wheel nuts and gone in 60 seconds. Unfortunately, today with very efficient cordless grinders and cutting discs ultimate security is futile but for insurance purposes you must be seen to make an effort.
The worst thing ever invented was the battery powered angle grinder - it will get through those wheel clamps in seconds. Now saying that, I use two of the wheel clamps on my trailer - same design, different manufacturer. I also have a hitch lock (small barrel lock that fits into the hitch handle to prevent it being lifted And a ball hitch lock similar to yours. It’s also worth getting a tracker to put on the trailer - I have two different ones, one that connects to my battery and from my phone I can sent a text and I get a text back telling me the coordinates for where my trailer is. It’s hard to disguise the wires from the battery, so I have no doubt the tracker will be discovered if my trailer is stolen. I also have an Apple AirTag which is totally hidden on the trailer. None of this will stop the determined thief, but should slow them down long enough for me to catch them in the act! And you can’t beat free wood!!!!
Have you changed your process so you're no longer stacking? Seems like you'll need to employ some kids to stack all you have on the ground and keep up with that new processor?
I dont see that Eastonmade firewood processor in the back round 22MB did you buy that or is it on loan well I have to go get 4 cords done for delivery today at 4 pm should only take me a hour with my dyna sc-16 I would love to get up there and meet you someday and do some wood with you have a great day
I couldn’t tell was that synthetic oil ? I no the synthetic oil makes it little nicer to start in cold weather it don’t thicken as much as conventional oils plus I feel better protection I run it in all my engines car, splitters,diesel truck ,mowers etc. that’s my opinion at least and you no what they say about opinions lol
Chris, I hate be a downer, but that lock doesn't look like it'll stop someone from removing the tire that you lock up. What's to stop them from taking the tire off and replacing it with the spare tire that's on the side of the trailer? Tracking devices are almost fool proof. Couple that with some hidden intentional identifying marks that only you know of, in case its stolen, and then you have your trailer back.
Ok So I am confused! On the 7th you shot the video of your brand new beast of a fire wood processing the machine. Now today you are showing videos of your old setup? Were these videos you just had not edited yet?
I am always 2-3 weeks ahead on videos so I can be sure to have one every day and I wanted to get the processor on asap so I put it ahead of the other videos. Thanks for watching Mark!
Also, those trailers that have bolted on tongues, can simply be unbolted and replaced. The thieves are getting very clever with these battery operated tools. When they want a catalytic converter off the exhaust, they jack vehicle up, cut it out with electric saw-zaw, and away they go. If I had to store trailer off site, I'd chain it up at three different points with heavy thick chains, attached to cemented anchors in the ground and cement pad on top. That's where I'd put my money as an investment into good security. And why not spend another couple thousand dollars to secure a $13,000 item?
yes little blacker then what i like to see but then i picky as hell when it come to my stuff like i bye the best oil like mobil synthetic oil royle puple and thing good and any thing with with a filter has to be k&n or wicks 10 micron fiter 10 filterbut woth it
Aren't you contaminating your woodyard when you use engine oil on the splitter beam since it will eventually reach the ground an seep in? I know I'd get sued immediately if anyone knew about me doing it here in germany lol
Chris gets to going so fast with that banjo music, and now steel guitar, that the oil prob just evaps!! A possible answer might be little holes drilled in the push plate slider, then a shot of grease from the bar nose little greaser gun every once in awhile. He couldn't burn that off so fast!! More likely, it goes with the wood. More BTU's!! - When these jackasses come after your trailer, they WILL come prepared! Police scanners, walkie talkies, impact wrenches, jacks, cutters, torches, prob even some 'lookouts'!! And they'll know where to look for any tracker, and disable it, leaving nothing with any possibility of DNA or prints, or tracking! Those touch sensitive anti theft outfits that set off sirens, or send an alert to your phone, would be pretty hard to defeat. Maybe.
Maybe not even jack it up just remove the nuts, run the other wheel on to a 4x4, pull the wheel, toss it into the trailer, battery tools are fast? Best to hope that’s too much work!

That is definitely some nice looking free wood. Even if get few don’t wanna deal with post free for boiler wood. Have good night.
Thanks 👍

I don't know how you do it. Logs coming in by the truckload, all that splitting and stacking, working alone, I'd be overwhelmed and I'm no slouch.

You might add an inscribed number on the frame ? send it to your insurance company . One time deal . :)
Maybe so, good idea!
Ive been looking at those locks. Hopefully you'll never lose your investments. Have a Safe Day
Me too!
Hey Chris, nice ash!!!!
Hey, thanks!
As soon as battery powered grinders were available everything was easy to steel. On your building insurance put the trailer and any other piece of equipment on the policy.

I think so too!
I have been looking at locks as well Chris.. Don't need someone taking the 15k splitter I have coming in a few months..
No you don't! Lock it up!
So, with a jack and a lug wrench, take the locked tire off, go get the spare on the other side, mount, tighten lug nuts, lower jack and go. LOL - You are right, just slowing them down.
Exactly my thought. Though they do make locks for spares as well.
Quicker to use a battery powered disc grinder with a cut off wheel...
Poor Chris - We are going to cause him sleepless nights. He might have to sleep in his trailer.
I am in the trailer hiding right now!
Fast flying lead works too.
Haha, it’s a parking boot!!
Yup!
Chris it’s a beautiful lot but I think you should get some lug nut locks that will really slow them down I think
Yup!
With all the ash do you need to put the bits that will go through your processor separately?
Yes, I already separated it out!
Might want to check out the “lock picking lawyer “ I think he did an episode on trailer/hitch locks
Yup, I saw it!
Yes totally jealous of all that free Ash! You better tie all those logs down with chains. I’m gonna come raid the Woodyard 🤣 Nice content Chris!👍🏻👍🏻 GNI
Bring it! Can't wait! I'll make sure the lead is flying that day! HAAAAA!
@@InTheWoodyard 🤣
Next time I am in Green Bay visiting kids if I have some free time I might like to stop in and get a free piece of wood. LOL
Ha! Sounds good, if I am there, bring gloves, work will be done.
Yes ok the lock on one of the paired wheels,...... but what if the bandit will just remove the wheel with a simple key?
I am just trying to slow them down enough so I can aim better.
The free ash is an awesome deal. I need to get with a tree service guy and get something like that set up!! GNI
Yup, it is a good deal!
OMG, I say the same thing every time I get a plastic package like that! You must be my twin or something.🤔
HA!
I would also put an Apple Air Tag on it.
Or three!
I was coming home last Fri. with my truck and trailer loaded down with 20-24 in. Red and White Oak rounds when I had a blowout on my trailer.

I followed the shredded tire trail for a ways but never found my trailer. I hope that person burns hotter that the wood I cut and loaded!!!
Nooooooo! That sucks!
Nice ash. I once said that to a girl at a cigar bar and got slapped.
Yup, ash is always nice!
is this oil change before you got your handy oil change package ?
I don't remember maybe so?
Do yiou ever change the hydraulic fluid on your splitter?
No, not yet, I don't think it needs changing yet.
You need to get that gravel down! Nothing like free wood.
I just got 6 loads!
If you want some help just let me know. Most days im done with work by about noon.
I will let you know, now I am working in my other business with spring sports photography and preparing for the summer seasons work.
👍
Thanks!

Thanks Jeff!
and ventilate your a while out....on tv... helps a lot
Thanks for watching!
Morning Chris. Two things today! Do you ever have to change the Hydraulic Fluid on the splitter. It might be time to give your nephew Beau a call for some production assistance, if he is available.
Not so far, it is still good. Yes I could use help!

So that leaves you playing Wild West and trying to recover your own stuff. My luck the thief would call the police and I would get arrested for threatening them and trespassing and be cuffed n stuffed with my trailer sitting in their yard...
I have very good insurance. And guns.
@@InTheWoodyard Really about all a guy can do unfortunately and hope for some good luck...Pathetic any hardworking man or woman has to worry about their stuff but it is the world we live in today ...😕
I agree with the packaging. Hate it!!
Yup, nasty crap!
I keep telling you from when you had the wood stolen …… you need a decent dog.At home I leave the keys to the vehicles in the ignitions and don’t even have locks in the doors of the house … my dogs look after the lot
Yup, a good dog is nice to have!
What is the weight rating on the truck hitch itself?
10,000
That's better than a piece of gum
Ha!
nice but the bad guys will get thru unless you get them and vehicle with license plate number and the spikes in the ground will work every time. Have a good one.
Just making an effort is what the insurance company wants.
Free tree service wood is great. I cant get anyone near me to do it, they think it's gold or they just chip it... no luck for me
Try asking if you can take your trailer to the job sight and leave it for them to load! Then just go get it. One guy I know does that.
@@InTheWoodyard they said no, but not in such a nice way. I think they just don't like me! Great idea though!
So if they take the rim off they free to go now? Since the trailer can be moved with one tire missing
Not if the wheels have lock nuts too and a hitch lock and a 24/7 armed guard like I have now.
Lol 😆 now your talking security measurements
Sign of the times looks like it should help
If I can slow them down enough to aim better that is good for me!
Tap with the hammer remove the wheel nuts and gone in 60 seconds. Unfortunately, today with very efficient cordless grinders and cutting discs ultimate security is futile but for insurance purposes you must be seen to make an effort.
Yup!
Just one thing what if thay take the wheel off ?? Just woundering
It will at least slow them down enough for me to aim.
👍🔒
Thanks!
I lock both of my trailers too but someone could steal them if they really wanted. Thieves are some of the worst kind of people.
Yes they are!
What do you think of Splitfire splitters?
I have not run one .....yet.
I would hide that Trailer & block it in with your Tractor & have camera set up.
Yup, good idea!
The worst thing ever invented was the battery powered angle grinder - it will get through those wheel clamps in seconds.

You will see a lot more of it soon!
Yup!
I couldn’t tell was that synthetic oil ? I no the synthetic oil makes it little nicer to start in cold weather it don’t thicken as much as conventional oils plus I feel better protection I run it in all my engines car, splitters,diesel truck ,mowers etc. that’s my opinion at least and you no what they say about opinions lol
Yes it was, It is what I use in the winter for sure!
Chris, I hate be a downer, but that lock doesn't look like it'll stop someone from removing the tire that you lock up. What's to stop them from taking the tire off and replacing it with the spare tire that's on the side of the trailer? Tracking devices are almost fool proof. Couple that with some hidden intentional identifying marks that only you know of, in case its stolen, and then you have your trailer back.
I am just trying to slow them down enough so I can aim.

Ok So I am confused! On the 7th you shot the video of your brand new beast of a fire wood processing the machine. Now today you are showing videos of your old setup? Were these videos you just had not edited yet?
I am always 2-3 weeks ahead on videos so I can be sure to have one every day and I wanted to get the processor on asap so I put it ahead of the other videos. Thanks for watching Mark!
Also, those trailers that have bolted on tongues, can simply be unbolted and replaced. The thieves are getting very clever with these battery operated tools. When they want a catalytic converter off the exhaust, they jack vehicle up, cut it out with electric saw-zaw, and away they go. If I had to store trailer off site, I'd chain it up at three different points with heavy thick chains, attached to cemented anchors in the ground and cement pad on top. That's where I'd put my money as an investment into good security. And why not spend another couple thousand dollars to secure a $13,000 item?
Yup, good point!

Thanks for the tips!
Aren't you contaminating your woodyard when you use engine oil on the splitter beam since it will eventually reach the ground an seep in? I know I'd get sued immediately if anyone knew about me doing it here in germany lol
Not worried. All equipment leaks somewhere.
Chris gets to going so fast with that banjo music, and now steel guitar, that the oil prob just evaps!! A possible answer might be little holes drilled in the push plate slider, then a shot of grease from the bar nose little greaser gun every once in awhile. He couldn't burn that off so fast!! More likely, it goes with the wood. More BTU's!! - When these jackasses come after your trailer, they WILL come prepared! Police scanners, walkie talkies, impact wrenches, jacks, cutters, torches, prob even some 'lookouts'!! And they'll know where to look for any tracker, and disable it, leaving nothing with any possibility of DNA or prints, or tracking! Those touch sensitive anti theft outfits that set off sirens, or send an alert to your phone, would be pretty hard to defeat. Maybe.
Did his insurance do a good job covering his loss on the trailer theft?
I do not know.
Hide GPS trackers on all your equipment
SHHHHHH!
I hope everyone watching your channel locally is honest, and doesn't get ideas because you told them that no one is around at certain times.🙏
I was worried about the same thing. There are so many losers out there these days.
He didn't tell them everything. Guard beavers.
My videos are always 2-3 weeks out, I am back and armed!
No worries, I am back , my videos are out 2-3 weeks
Chris! That wheel lock IS NOT going to work --a thief will simply jack up your trailer, take the wheel off, and drive away.
Nut locks next and then a armed guard.
😂
Maybe not even jack it up just remove the nuts, run the other wheel on to a 4x4, pull the wheel, toss it into the trailer, battery tools are fast? Best to hope that’s too much work!

Hello Bassmaster!

Now that's free wood !
Yup, it is!
a water bottele with bottom cut off make a good funnle
Yup!
That packaging is the worst!
You got that right!
That won’t stop thrift
Maybe, but it will slow them down for theft.
Be sure to change the cross pin every year or so. One of the neighboring farmers had one let go. From years of wear
Thanks for the tip!
Looks like to me, someone could take your tire off and pull your trailer on three tires.
I just want to slow them down enough to aim.
