Добавлен 10 янв 2021
Welcome to UpNorth With The Nybergs! This channel will be all over the place, but mainly highlighting the awesomeness of rural living "upnorth" in Northern Michigan. We (Cathy & Ed) will share how we live, work, and play in one of the most beautiful areas of the country.
With over 70 acres of wooded property to maintain we use a lot of tools, such as our Kubota MX5400 tractor, Woodland Mills WC88 chipper, Wolfe Ridge 35T wood splitter, and many other tools and implements. So please join us as we showcase this beautiful area. We try to add a video every week, sometimes more, sometimes less ;-)

Wood Moisture Meters - Which Meters Are Best - Pin or Pin-less?
I received a wood moisture to test and give an honest review, so I decided this would be a good time to discuss wood moisture meters in general and their uses. I also wanted to compare technologies between the meters that use two pins versus the pin-less meters (or contactless meters). Stick around and see my impressions on both! Thanks for watching!

I finally got around to installing a brush guard on my Kubota MX5400. This project took me about an hour to complete.

Happy New Year! 2021 Recap & 2022 Goals! (Hint: We Have A Lot Planned For 2022)
Thanks for sharing, it inspired me to do it on my own. Take care
how do you easily grease the rear drive line u joint of the rcf2772?
great video, do you have the top link measurements and what size of cylinder? thanks
i use my saw a lot to rip planks. lots of debris ends up in those tank areas. those fuel and oil caps areas are a bad design. getting the caps off and resting them against the body of the saw they always pick up dirt and sawdust. i use a short bristle paint brush but even brushing off the saw the recess around the caps are always dirty and crap ends up in the tanks. out in the field is hard to work around it. is there any better way to deal with the issue out in the field? thank you
No problems with traction?
Looks horrible
Just a tip. Before you remove the bladder, run a permanent marker pen around a horizontal bar at the height you want to cut the bladder. Will give you a perfect line to cut along.
If you mentioned it in the video, I must have missed it, but any idea of the total weight of the tote+firewood ? I do not have a tractor, but am contemplating getting a fork-lift accessory for my ATV. It's rated for 500 lbs., but I suspect we're talking about a lot more weight than that.
Mine came with some extra nuts, washers, and bolts, but without any instructions. There was a diagram on the side of the box that was adequate to figure out the install, but it would have been nice to be aware that extra hardware wouldn't necessarily be needed. No more trying to keep my saw between my feet!
Our Church is paying 3500.00 to have the lot sealed. The contractors NEVER EVER ACTUALLY SEAL THE CRACKS.NEVER. No body seems to realize that spraying a coat over the lot is not going to solve the grass and water going under the asphalt!
It may be a cost issue. To fill cracks runs around $1per foot
That cart is the exact same as the Gorrila cart, only difference is that you have 8 wheels and mine has 4 wheels. Great cart! Here in Canada they are sold at Princess Auto.
Thanks for the video, sir. One piece of advice: as a rule, you aren't supposed to use teflon tape on hydraulic fittings. Most don't require it, and if you do have a leak, use liquid teflon. If a piece of that tape makes its way into your hydraulic system, it can cause severe damage. Most people will go their whole lives without an issue. But if you are one of the unlucky ones, you'll never use that tape again 🙂
How long is the pole in total?
3:40 you're welcome
These hot crack filling machines are junk. Don't waste your money on buying g this hot crack filling machine. Instead buy a hot box 30 gallon. Get a metal galvanized flower pour bucket. Remove the sprinkler part. Use this to pour the hot rubber into cracks. Have 2 people v squeegee the cracks. Much cleaner job. Plus it is way easier to move around pour the hot rubber than a heavy awkward machine.
I'm not sure I would feel as comfortable placing my receiver at such an accessible level. I would want someone to have to work harder taking it and walking off with it than it did my installing it. Awesome job though and I didn't know about the Sika Pro either. Thanks for your video and post mix recommendation. God bless 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤
I hate to look into your vacuum cleaner hose! Why don't you wash the saw with cleaning solutions ???😊 also brush away from the bar nose not into it
20 minutes? Could have been 20 seconds
I own a Kubota mx 5400 my self I love it my self
Me too!!
Each... are 50 THOUSAND BTU?? 😅 Are you sure that's a "shop" and not an oven??!! That small space doesn't look like it would need more than 30k BTU once up to temperature.
😁 That is what was recommended, I have no insulation on the outer 3 walls. So far it has worked well.
@@UpNorthNybergs maybe without the insulation... but even my two car garage with 10' ceilings is plenty hot with my tiny propane heater set to 30k BTU (once I give it 20 minutes to warm up @ 60k BTUs), and sometimes I have to turn it off just because it gets too warm! I hope your heaters are adjustable!
The non pinned one measures at deeper level.
Agreed! I like those best...
What size hp tractor were you using?
Kubota MX5400...54 hp for tractor and 46.5 hp at PTO
Where did you purchase the bird guard? Tempest make them?
Yes, I ordered from Tempest.
Thanks for the video and explanation. I believe the slight freeplay between the scabbard and the FEL is part of design, to cut down vibration on the saw while traveling over rough ground. Have you found that to be an agrevating distraction? Also, did you use their "standard" U bolt for your FEL or did you need the "larger" size? YourThank you
Oh, good point about the vibration. I did use the U-bolt that was supplied; it worked great for my tractor, MX5400. I drove to my neighbor's house down the street a couple of days ago and never heard a sound from the chainsaw mount.
Thank you for the video. What size bolts did you end up using?
Dang! You just reminded me to change them out :-) So far no issues...
Now that it has been a year or so since you installed the pole and buried the cable, any updates or issues with your installation? How did your pole installation fare over the Winter and the Spring? Anything you would have done differently with your pole installation?
No issues at all...our winter was very mild, though. I wouldn't have done anything differently. Ask me in 5 years ;-)
How deep of a hole did you dig for your Starlink Pole to sit in?
I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I think I dug about 3.5 feet using Sika Pole set
Air compressor….. and make sure you clean out the grooves/rails of your bar. And blow them out after and also the oil and grease holes.
Great point!
Can you burn coal in a traditional or gasification?
Some people do... I don't
Thank you for the video! How is the upload speed? Is it slow during over cast day days or rainy days?
Sorry for the late response.... The upload is around 15-20 Mbps. I haven't noticed much difference during cloudy weather or even when it's raining. Others may disagree...
Thank you Sir!
You are welcome!
Is it normal for it to be leaking. Wherever I store the chainsaw there’s always an oily mess underneath.
Yes, it is normal for a little bar oil to leak out. If it is a lot then it could be the lubricating mechanism may be clogged, allowing it to leak bar oil.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video. Great tips! I'm new to the maintenance and this has helped to get me started. I'm hoping you'll be posting a season end video where you get into the nitty gritty of the maintenance process.
Glad the video helped! I will post a video on what I do at the end of my cutting season. Great suggestion!! Thanks for watching!
I'm tempted but a lack of a permanent display is annoying. The last thing I need is another app to have to look at to check stuff out. I've mounted my cheap station's display on the wall which is great for easy viewing. I suppose you could use a cheap or used tablet instead with Tempest, but yet another device to have to maintain.
That is one of the negatives of this system out of the box. There is a Facebook group that discusses many ideas to work around this issue. I get great tips from that group… Just search Tempest or Weatherflow in “Groups” and you’ll find it. Thanks for watching!
Is there a reason why you didn’t get the MX6000?
I chose the MX5400 based on the implements that I was going to use and the 6000 was a bit of an overkill for my needs. Plus, it was more pressure on the wallet ;-)
Thanks for the info. I went tractor shopping this past weekend at my local Colorado dealership. MX5400 with loader $43,500.00 and MX6000 $45,500.00 😮
Wow, there was a much bigger difference when I bought, I think it was more like $6K more…they must need to move some MX6000 inventory. At those prices, I would get the 6000.
What type of tires are they? Solid?
Sorry for delay, they are loaded R4 tires.
I have a 2009 Johnson boiler I burn 12-14 cords per season through it. I want a 760 HDX bad but I got 2 quotes for $19,500 plus delivery and just cannot justify it right now. the Old Johnson burns a lot of wood but it would take me 10 years to realize that 19,500$ back on an HDX unit.
Yes, these gassers are getting crazy expensive, even with the tax rebate. I’m hoping they level off or go down in price the next few years. Sometimes the math doesn’t work out with these units… thanks for the comment!
Cool! How long do the cracks stay closed before they re open and it has to be done again? When doing it again do you add more material or just torch the old stuff already there to reseal the crack.
We fill the cracks every other year, as they do crack again. We live in N lower Michigan, so we get the freeze/thaw cycle every year and that is murder on the driveway ;-) I bought a 1/2 pallet of fill material, so I am set for a while. 1 brick of material actually fills quite a few cracks. Obviously, depending on crack size and depth. Thanks for watching!
About to upgrade my L2501 to the MX5400 ... this video was wildly helpful, thank you, sir. I am *extra* excited to have the extra lift capacity and MORE implements (ha!)
Glad this video helped! I still love my MX and you will too!! Thanks for watching ;-)
hi from iowa
Hello there! I always love my Iowa visits. My good friend does the Raigbrai every year.
Can you show the 3rd function valve set up?
Sure, I’ll do a short when I get some time. I should have shown it a bit more…
What type of cutting edge do you use on your plows?
On my big plow, I use a yard guard pretty much all year, as it protects my driveway surface…there are some drawbacks, like leaving a trace of snow which then turns to ice until the next sunny day. I use the standard cutting edge that came with my Polaris 570 plow kit. I do raise the shoes to get the same driveway protection. I hope this helps!
@@UpNorthNybergsnice. I was wondering how you kept your driveway protected. I'll check it out. I was considering plastic or rubber
@@UpNorthNybergsyou don't see any asphalt damage with the yardsaver? That would definitely last much longer then rubber or plastic.
@@simd510 no big damage, mainly just scraping of the asphalt seal. I get this resealed every 4-5 years. I love the yard guard!
What's the difference of MX5200 and mx5400?
Other than size, I’m not sure the other differences. I know you can find the specs online for both. Thanks for watching!
I have an old analog moisture meter that I use. These digital ones interest me and I was curious as to the results. Are any of the 4 you compared made in America? As far as the pin-less one, that degree of deviation does not bode confidence lol. A shame really, as it would certainly be easier to use.
I agree completely, I was hoping the pin-less was going to be better, unfortunately the technology isn’t quite there yet. I’ll keep trying it out! Thanks for watching!
Good stuff, thanks for the vid.
Thanks Jules!! Happy new year!!
Awesome video. Thank you so much for breaking down the pricing.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been running a central boiler HDX760 for a year and half here in Alaska. My first year was met with a steep learning curve. I didn’t clean out the reaction chamber and in turn it did not burn the flue gasses properly and sooted up my heat exchanger. I almost ruined the baffles trying to get them out to clean the heat exchanger. The other thing I just recently figured out is the importance of stirring the coal bed daily and letting the powdery ashes fall through bottom of the fire box. This keeps the ash level low and only hot burning coals in the firebox, which makes for a fire that gets to 100 percent combustion quickly. You are spot on also with only feeding it split dry wood. I’ve tried feeding poor quality wood and noticed a huge difference in consumption. The biggest benefit to smaller wood is that the fire will collapse on itself and keep burning as opposed to bridging and thus extinguishing itself. All in all a wood boiler is a massive amount of work but there is no way I’m paying $4.00+ a gallon for diesel. At least that’s how I’ve convinced myself that burning 18 cords of spruce per year is worth the work. Great video. It was good to hear I’m not the only who has learned gasification the hard way!
Great comment about your experience and perspective! I 100% agree with everything you mentioned. FYI - I was born in AK, at Elmendorf AFB a few years ago ;-) I visit quite often, in fact, I have a trip planned again this summer. I have a couple of questions for you - what area of AK and do have any issue getting dry, hardwood?
@@UpNorthNybergs The only hardwood we have up here that is widely available is birch. I try to get as much as I can but it’s just not as abundant. I live on the Kenai peninsula just south of the Kasilof river. The last couple of years the spruce bark beetles have been killing a lot of trees so there is all kinds of dead spruce available. Thats cool you still come to Alaska. It’s a beautiful place to live and raise kids.
@@augustlindow1162 thanks for comment, I am so looking forward to June when we get up there again. I agree, great area to raise kids! Enjoy!!
do you have a video on your wood boiler?
Hi Barney, I sort of have a video...I compare the 2 types of wood boilers in this video. I should do a video on my newer Central Boiler HDX760, to explain what I like and dislike. Anyway, here is the link - ruclips.net/video/_0Evd7OWv80/видео.html
i have the same size tractor. a cutting edge for bucket and hydraulic top link were huge improvements for 250 each. also look into pats easy change. nice video rich (canadarago lake ny) o the hips, how did that work out? i need new hips. did you research stem cells?
Thanks for the question - I had both hips replaced (lot's of basketball) about 10 years ago. I was pretty young so I opted for the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing surgery. Check it out, it has done wonders for my mobility. Good luck!!
