I grew up in a log house in the woods and wanted my family to enjoy a similar lifestyle. We built our log house on 7 acres in 2016 and have been busy ever since turning it into our own paradise in the woods. We are always busy with outdoor projects and can hopefully provide some knowledge or ideas for our viewers. If you love the outdoors, diy projects, gardening, tractors, UTV's, firewood, chainsaws, or log home maintenance we think you will enjoy our channel.

#90 This is a two month, 2,000 mile review of the 2024 F250 XL 6.8L with the XL off road package. How does it compare to my 2024 Chevy Silverado LT with the 6.6L gas motor. I also go over the suspension on the F250 and how the snow plow and camper prep packages affect the ride height. With a very easy suspension modification can we turn this into a mini tremor?

Organization Is A Key To Success In This Business!
Doing the same thing here in Michigan. I think winter is here. I’ve moved my bundling operation to the pole barn. The bee traps are a great idea. Good stuff.
I wish I had room for a pole barn! It would be great to have an indoor operation all winter.
Enjoyed the vid, you dropped off 13 bags this morning though😁. Great idea on the AC unit cover.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I’ve got the same truck, I absolutely love it. The tailgate doesn’t bother me in the least, I use the key fob to open it sometimes, or you can open it inside the cab too. And when I do walk up to it and press the button, it doesn’t seem to bother me.
I have an xlt a little more features than an xl. Its a diesel but its white. That’s what makes it more work truck. But i got it in 2021 there was like 1 truck in the whole county. I wish i could have got a blue or grey truck.
I’m going with diesel for my next heavy duty.
Those steel wheels make it look tough for sure
I love that small hummingbird! But, I don't have one.🐦⬛🐦⬛
Nice setup! Your helper is 💪
Thanks, he sure is!
Good purchase.
I think so too!
we sell those totes at work to employees for $5
That is an amazing deal!
Just found your channel..Great video. Great content..💯👍💯👍
We greatly appreciate you checking out the channel and leaving a comment!
What brand and what running boards did you get
They are the Go Rhino RB20 slim running boards. I got them through realtruck.com
Having the tools you need to make firewood efficient and enjoyable makes the whole process so much better. Nice video!
Absolutely! It’s definitely a perk of being in the firewood business.
Did you ever consider any other brand of tractor?
I had a John Deere 2038R. That was a great tractor. I just prefer the Kubota hydraulics. Plus I have a great dealer in my area and that drives a lot of my purchase decisions.
Good stuff. You definitely have the tools needed. Just curious. What do you use to record your vids? Your pic quality and sound are very nice. I’m looking to upgrade my camera for my channel.
Thanks. I’m using a go pro hero11 and just got a DJI wireless mic. The go pro has been awesome.
Dear Sir, This is Lynn from Exzeit led lights. A seller on Amazon. Sorry to bother. I would like to know if you would be interested be adding auxiliary work lights for your farm vehicles. We can provide for review. If you interested, Can i have your email address for more details? Looking forward to your reply❤
Gas engine? wtf?! 😂😂😂
I know why you have it down, but when you climb up and down loading on that trailer you really should have the ROPS in position correctly. I know you likely won't ever have any issues but if a ramp comes off or fails it won't end well. You paid for it, so take advantage of it. Your wife and kids will be glad you did. Don't get me wrong, i've done the same thing myself without thinking or when I was in a hurry but I try to avoid it. Nice setup!
Good catch
Thanks for video! Currently shopping for dump trailer for L3560.
Dump trailer shopping is not easy. There are so many choices. Good luck. I hope you find one that works for you.
On Wednesday I'm building a fire pit around a giant stump. About 1 1/2 the size of this. I appreciate your video about this. Thank you
This has been a great fire pit for us, holding up well. Go Birds!
Awesome to hear. I'm looking forward to many years of memories around the pit. Go Birds 🦅 🏈
Put a peice of sacrifical wood 1x in the front of your trailer to put the grapple against so you can pull all the way in and not have to worry with damaging the front of trailer, ive also seen some guys run a peice on top of the front rail and set the loader down so you can strap it plus it would gain you the depth of the grapple.
I do need to cut some scrap wood for the trailer. I have a feeling I will be adding an equipment trailer to the fleet soon!
@cabinviewventures totally agree with an equipment trailer especially if you plan to haul the trailer to do side jobs..... get something big enough for tractor plus all your implements. Maybe I missed it but how's the truck working out, I saw the update after your trip but curious how you like it with a load behind it.
@@jasonandrus1981I’m going to need a 22’ to haul the brush cutter. I think that’s a good size equipment trailer to own. I always think about resale value as well. I have hauled two loads of firewood in the dump trailer so far. You get a lot of tongue weight with firewood so it feels pretty heavy behind the truck. I want to see how it tows the tractor before I judge.
I have a similar size cab tractor and a 18’ trailer, I wish I would have got a 20’ or even longer. Having a bucket or grapple plus a rear implement can get tricky. You may not plan on doing jobs with a rear implement but why limit yourself? I love the dump trailer just not ideal for towing a tractor and implements in my opinion.
A dump trailer is definitely not ideal for hauling equipment. We will be adding a 22’ equipment trailer soon.
I noticed you had your rear stabilizer jacks down when you checked your tongue weight. Would it not be a more accurate measurement if the jacks were off the ground? Thanks for a good video!
Thanks! I did make sure they were off the ground. I give them a few inches of ground clearance so they don’t get jammed after I’m loaded.
Go to harbor freight and get some cheap foam pad for the bottom of your tool box. Tie that baby down and go for a cruise to see if it shakes out ok. Your trailer is the best on the market today IMHO. Your little one with his Firefighter setup on brings back fond memories for me. I wouldn't turn it around with those loaded tires. That trailer is designed to take that weight just the way you have it loaded, your tongue weight is spot on.
Good idea on the foam pad. I probably have some laying around. I agree I think loading it forward is just fine and weight distribution seems good. The kids love helping out. He was playing safety patrol for me while I was moving the trailer, haha. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
that's an E-HYDRO tranny right? did you like the PATS ez CHANGE better? it gives you more room to connect PTO plus if the quick hitch will not work with 100% of your attachments . well that's my thinking. you has both maybe do a comparison vidja?
I really thought I would like the Pats quick hitch over the quick attach. The quick attach hands down is my favorite. Now all of my implements are quick hitch compatible minus my trailer mover. It’s so nice picking up and removing my box blade without having to get off the tractor. I use that box blade a lot for work and rear ballast.
is that a GRAND L? is that what 60 denotes? I was hoping to get a grand L but my pockets were not deep enough. 52k in 2021-2022 them there KU-BOATERS have the best hydraulics. the joystick corners nice. no other tractors do that
Yes the 60’s are the grand L’s. The hydraulics are so smooth and a lot more power than Kubota claims.
I have a TYM T494 its a 48.6hp mech fuel inj A2300 KUKJE I have 93 hours and still no Regen. I'm told 200 hours is not uncommon before Regen.why is there a 10x difference in runtime before Regen? I just got into tractors in 2018. yanmar sa 324 TLB then Kioti NX4510 then TYM T494. I play with logs with a Fransgard sk-950 log grapple near Cooperstown NY. great vidjas rich
Even every 100 hours would be nice. All of my Kubotas regen frequently.
I have a slightly smaller 33 Kubota tractor. I bought a 16 foot Lamar dump trailer and am extremely happy. I did it fit my tractor a rear implement up to a landplane with my bucket detached and no problem with my bucket attached and a tiller on the back, I got sick of the ramp system on the dump trailer and ended up buying a equipment hydraulic gravity trailer tilts it is split up between the 16 foot tilt and a 6 foot flat and I can haul two implements upfront and a bucket and implement on the back Tractor it is magical
That’s the ideal set up. Dump trailer and equipment trailer. I’m looking at 22’ equipment trailers. Not sure if I want to go tilt or traditional stand up ramps.
@ i had a stand up ramp equipment trailer before this gravity hydraulic tilt trailer and there is no comparison between usability and ease of use
Good to know. I can get a nice gravity tilt for $2000 more than the standard equipment trailer. Just trying to figure out which one will work best for the business.
Could you raise your grapple and then rest it on the front wall of the trailer or is that not advised for this type of trailer? I do that sometimes w my auto hauler trailer when my rake is attached in the back but I’m much lower to the ground. That trailer you got is legit. Great content!
You can definitely do that. It’s just a red flag for dot to snag you. I appreciate the comment!
I'd definitely try turning it around. But it's a tight fit either way. Have a great day
If I back the tractor in I do have the 3 way gate on the dump trailer.
Everyone’s situation is different but when I used to haul my tractor in my dump trailer I always put the tractor in 4wd when loading and unloading. Also found the weight was distributed better with the tractor backed in. Loaded tires on the tongue and then the engine centered over the axles. Also I built pressure treated pallets to hold my box blade and pallet forks in the bed of the truck. Only downside to that is you have to take the trailer off to get to the bed of your truck but it prevents multiple trips etc. You can leave the pallet forks tied down to the pallet with the box blade on top in the bed of your truck.
How was the drive with a lot of weight in the bed plus the trailer? It is better than making multiple trips. I like the idea.
The drive was no issue at all. At the time I had a 3/4 ton diesel. I’ve recently upgraded to a dually and I’ve actually done the same thing with a skid steer bucket because the trailer wouldn’t accommodate the weight of the skid steer, power rake and bucket so I dropped it in my bed with no issues
@@stephanieshawnkeating4905I think it’s a great solution I’m going to test it out.
Its definitely fun!!!
Very nice set up
Wonderinh why not kubota MX?
It was a strong contender. The 4060 LE was a little cheaper met all my requirements and is a good bit smaller than the MX. easier to tow and move around my log yard. It may have had higher hydraulic flow also but don’t quote me on that.
I want a bx that can lift 1,000 lbs on the forks. Is that to much to ask
I haven’t tried that on a BX. It doesn’t take much to make that tractor feel unstable. The short narrow wheel base and single lift cylinder limit what it can do.
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I know nothing about these and am looking into purchasing for my husbands 2023 Tundra TRD 4x4 Off Road. My question - does this come with everything you need or do I also have to have some sort of mounting kit that affixes to the truck bed in addition to this cover? You talk about this rail system, so I'm assuming that is in addition to the cover.
Definitely not a stupid question. The cover itself comes with everything needed to mount to your truck. They have accessories like additional tie downs and crossbars you can add on anytime. Very high quality covers!
@ Thank you!!
I would buy a ford truck if they get rid of that shity chime 🤣
Great set up for your business. The trailer will definitely get some use. I have been offering delivery for my bundles. That had been a big hit for me. People really like that option. The mic sounds really good.
Thanks! I have delivery as an option in my ad but not getting many hits. Do you have a website also?
@ No website. Just advertise on marketplace and other FB groups. I have business cards as well.
Great vid. Hands down the best investment is a 12k splitter? Idk. Depends on a variety of variables tailored to each person. Having a commercial grade splitter is night and day over a box store splitter but it just pushes the choke point elsewhere. If you don’t have a dump trailer, big saw, conveyor, skid steer/ tractor to feed it and handle that output then sometimes it’s marginal gains. I guess what I would say to someone starting out is don’t tie yourself down hard on the splitter if going semi commercial like say a rugged made frees up money for a dump trailer, saw etc then go full commercial later. My 3200 dollar rugged made is not as fast as WR but wayyy faster than most box store splitter. It’s got a log lift, sorting table, 4 way wedge, and good cycle time especially with a stroke restrictor. That being said I plan on getting a Wolfe ridge at some point but starting out I chose to go after gaping holes in my equipment line up like a dump trailer and 70cc saw. Having rounded out my lineup of equipment this splitter is next on the list. I actually plan on getting this exact splitter from WR. It will be the last splitter I’ll ever purchase.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Hope business is doing well for you!
It's not an electric opening tailgate, it's dampened. Even if it had a handle it would drop at the same speed. Fords with a handle are the exact same way
I wished you could have looked at Moritz trailers. They’re one of the best that I have personally looked at. I beam frame, bed sits inside the frame giving the trailer a lower center of gravity, torsion axles, and aluminum ramps
I hear they are nice.
Just bought the same truck except with the STX package and I love it! I also have the 6.8 with the 4.30's and I cant tell any difference from the 7.3 gasser I had. Mine is also antimatter blue, love that color
It’s an awesome truck for the money
I would return the trailer and look somewhere else.
I thought about it.
Thats what ill be doing today
Nice choice. Iron Bull are top shelf trailers. You will enjoy many years of tough use.
Thanks! Enjoying it so far
Wow!!! Nice trailer but that’s discouraging all the issues. Especially that ramp. Like you said the paint is not the end of the world but ide rather put the scratches on something, not buy it that way. All in all looks like a nice trailer. You’ll get a lot of use out of that.
That’s exactly how I feel. Two cords delivered and zero new scratches. It should hold up just fine!
what mpg are you getting without towing?
I was getting about 12 city and 14 highway. I live in a pretty hilly area. I ended up selling this for an F250
@@cabinviewventures what mpg are you getting on the Ford?
@@fattie2550exactly the same.
Maybe I missed it, what running boards did you install? They look like Tremor/Raptor boards. Look sharp!
They are the, Go Rhino RB20 slim running boards. They fit the truck very well, don’t stick out far but still have plenty of footing when getting in and out.
@@cabinviewventures wow that was a fast response! I found your channel doing a search for Ford Super Duty XL off road. I’m looking to trade my 2016 Ram 2500 Power Wagon in on a new Ford Super Duty. Was considering an XLT Tremor, but after watching your video, I really like the XL off road. I’m like you, I like simple and old school styling. Love the steel wheels, vinyl seats and simplicity of the whole truck. I would get manual crank windows if I could 😆 Your truck looks awesome! Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing! It’s a bummer you can’t get the tremor package on the base XL trucks. 35’s on the xl off-road would give this truck the perfect look. I’m adding the tremor rear lift blocks as soon as I have time. I got the kit from cjc off-road.
@@cabinviewventures when it’s time to replace the tires, if you go to an LT285/75-17, that will give you 34’s.
@@MikeJohnson-y8rI’m keeping an eye out for tremor take offs on marketplace.
What sthil model is that saw?
That’s a 462. By far my favorite saw. It’s light and tons of power.
Glad to see your firewood business is growing. Always enjoy watching. Have a good one!
Thanks! I really appreciate that.
How long are the splits for that bundler? Thanks for the video btw
I split everything at 16”. That’s just my preference for stacking.
