Major Woodlot Loss - Spruce Log Harvest from Storm Damaged Trees -E197

We experienced a storm in December that may qualify as the storm of the decade. With 1/3 of the province losing power and the department of transportation moving trees from roads with snow plows and loaders, the damage to our forest in Oak Mountain is considerable.

    Hi Jason I'm from north of Fredericton and I've worked in the woods most of my life I also was a part of the Maritime forest ranger school trail cutting crew back in the 90's. I find when knotchjng and falling a tree I leave a bit of wood on my back cut until everything is ready to go then pull the saw out and cut the little bit off the back This prevents you from becoming saw bound. It also allows for you to be able to put a wedge in . Give it a try. Love your videos neighbour!

    I recall a forestry safety expett addressing a group of hobbyists on the surprisingly high proportion of severe left-hand and arm injuries amongst chainsaw operators. His analysis was simple , the split-second human instinct to reach out and deflect an unexpected object is so fast that we can't discerm between a twig, a flailing chain or in your example, a falling timber.

    ln Boreal forest areas, Birch is the go-to (white) But Birch needs a season to sit to get the most out of it. Not everyone is near Birch stands as well, Larch offers good BTU (not Tamarack, Larch) But alot like Birch, not everyone is near Larch or Birch stands. So majority of firewood for Boreal'ers ends up being lodgepole or jack pine. I guess white, engel, sitka spruces and doug fir are okay to burn if the wood condition is not great for other utilization, but man l wouldnt want to be burning things like black spruce or balsam, just because of their annoyingly longer drying, and more tinge residues they leave behind. Aspen? Well aspen has alot of issue indeed with quality, the BTU of course disappointing.

I hear, this time i want DRY WOOD! only to find wood i delivered a year ago un stacked right where i dumped it on ground, I burn anything days save the best for nights, I cant cut sell what i dont have,, some customer want only eastern hornbeam .....ironwood hard to come by, or cherry ? or white birch, I have birch split and small rounds stacked and covered at least 6 years old no rot, leave it on ground in weather wont last long, customer is ALWAYS right ...... even thou .....🤔

      I think that as electricity rates continue to increase, more people will be less selective on the types of firewood they are willing to burn.

My best firewood to be sorted, then pure white birch, then spruce and fir that will not go to the mill and offer each grade of firewood at different prices...

    Nice video and a good argument for having multiple saws! For me personally, the 30cc saw gets used for trimming, 40cc and 50cc for limbing up to around 16” and 60cc and 70cc for big stuff. I love the power to weight ratio of the 50cc saws and they can cut just about anything. The nice thing about big saws is running long bars. They get heavy (Echo 7310 fueled and oiled with a 28” bar is 21.4 pounds) but I don’t have to bend over as much.

    People who bash the horsepower have no idea what they are talking about. Diesel power is known for its torque not hp. Many manufacturers keep them at 25 horse because if they go more than that EPA says it must have DEF. So if they upped power you would then pay even more and complain about def lol. I imagine that the power ratings are understated to skirt these laws much like muscle cars back in the day!!!

    Hello jason Just just found out about your youtube chanel some weeks ago and was looking at your videos. Very interesting stuff. Sorry for my english i am in Qc, near Gatineau otttawa region. We just got a 270 acres and i am planing to exploite our land like you do. Could talk to you for hours about this project of yours and also mine. About this video you did on big decisions to make. I think you should keep it small but efficient as possible on every aspect. Keep the kranman and kubota tractor. Your best machine and simple methode to harvest trees is this. Kubota excavator 040 or 057 size. Buy a rotating tree shear and of you go. In the comfort of your cabine you will be able to harvest wood anytime anywhere. Those kubota are real work horse. Tree shear for a 057 excavator can cut trees in seconde and take them down real fast and easy. You can use it as a grapple. Only to cylinders and a blade. You can cut trees to 10 inches with those. Complet with a good set of buckets and your roads and trails will be in top shape in no time. I made 8km of roads and trails in one summer on weekends. Roads i can go with my truck no problem there. I got a auger and brush cutter for my excavator and there is nothing you cant do. Very efficient way to work and kubota excavator are the best period. Could go on and on. I am new to this internet, youtube thing. Give me a email so i can write to you, send pictures of what i mean about tree shear etc. Keep up the good work💪👍

    In watching your videos, it seems like you handle the logs a lot for just making firewood. Have you considered getting something like a Halverson processor for the front of a tracked skidsteer? Then you could cut/split the logs in the woods directly into IBC totes and save hauling the logs out, stacking them, reloading them on the forwarder, and unloading them onto the processor table?

    • @OakMountainAcotts

    My heater sometimes gives me an E01 error. I have to start it again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I suspect it is because of the 10 amp limit of the DC. Is there something I can doe? (Thicker cables or something)

      I haven't seen that error. I'm not an electrician but I didn't plug my unit into the DC side of my power pack. I bought a 110V to 12V converter on amazon and wired it up to plug into the AC side of my power pack which gives me the 15 amp requirement.

    I’ve seen a neat idea before to lift and lower a drag to put a ski at the front and a hand crank trailer jack, but yours is a nice setup too with the three point hitch

      That’s a good idea! Lots of ways to do it I guess. Thanks for watching!

    That should work just fine in your trails. I am curious to see how it will handle deep fresh snow. I like the way the front of it is done to deviate from any obstacle (ex. tree, stump). I wonder why the coupler is attached like that to the tongue. It seems it goes through a small section, and most likely, it's intended to be like so. I also like the turn buckle for adjustment. I am assuming from the cab, you don't see much how the groomer works because of the winch being in the way, isn't it? Lucky you have snow. For the few inches we got so far, it usually melts within a week. We are still on the grass, which is very unusual for us. Thanks!

      Hi, the coupler is on a bolt and nut so that it can roll a bit if needed. Probably the weak point of the drag though. I can’t see much through the winch screen but I guess it will protect my glass if I get to wild yarding wood! Your winch seems to be working well. I love the idea of having a remote control. Take care, Jason.

    Hi Jason glad to see you back. Do you think your setup would pack the snow enough for fat biking?

    • @OakMountainAcotts
      @OakMountainAcotts 4 месяца назад

      Once the base is established I’m sure it would. I am hauling 1/2 cord of wood out behind the B2601 regularly so it should be fine.

      Hi Sandy! It was an easy Winter here in NB with little snow and not many days of -20 temperatures. Dad and I watch your channel. Congrats on your continued success! Thanks for stopping by, Jason.

    good to see you guys back at it....been a little while. Wow, some very nice ideas with those mods. I really like how you offset the drag to the right of the tractor, allowing you to widen the trail while driving safely in the center of the trail. Here in the Outaouais, QC, we are having some crazy weather. It has been fairly mild with little snow however, last night and tonight going down to -25C but then warming up in the next few days to +13C with some rain. Wonder what effect this will have on the sugaring season. Have a good one

      Hi Yves, we had to take a little break! Supposed to warm up here as well this week. We are going to tap tomorrow but is about two weeks sooner than normal. Up to Montreal last weekend and took in a hockey game! Take care, Jason.
