@@ersinhaseki7667 yes you do. I keep it mounted on an old bar

@@TitusOutdoorLiving had some issues this summer. Couple operations and went a month with my knee locked. Getting back in the swing of things again though.

UPDATE---Engine hot-A/C turned off...So here we are again, same issue. This time I will replace the Coolant Tempture Sensor and see how that works. I will keep you updated.

Okay, I replaced the temperture sensor and filled with fresh engine coolent, reset/cancel code. The only thing left to do (if this doesn't solve is issue) is replace the thermostat according to what I have seen here on RUclips. There is also a short RUclips video on this subject made by Creative Mechanic. In the video he shows the viewer how he solved the issue which he said is a common problem on these models. All he does is remove the fusebox cover, locate the EMC fuse and remove the fuse for a few seconds then puts it back in, problem solved! I'm sorry but there is a reason that this problem exist and after replacing the fan relay last month the same message/code came back on. This time I was on the road miles from any town and on a Sunday. I was able to drive the truck without any overheating issues. Granted I had no A/C but it drove fine.....no overheating nothing. Now I replaced the tempture sensor and I can tell that it had been replaced once before. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to what is causing this to happen.....Your comments are appreacated.

@@robertfowler8797dude thank you a lot for your hard work and comments I’m having a issue too with my Sierra thermostat is showing fucking 230 and it can be so many things 💀 from a radiator cap to a water pump or those electric fuses

@@zavengrigoryan7784 Hello, I have now replaced the thermostat with a AC-Delco . I paid a few extra dollars but it's oem product not an aftermarket item. I truly believe the issue is now solved, after driving over one thousand miles in different conditions the trucks runs fine and no Fault lights. I hope all go's well with your truck.

Should read "some apps." My long one works well for hollowing out things but not well for it's intended purpose. When doing fine work as the host outlined I have 4" of razor sharp blade sticking out! Not a great scenario.

Its the way they piled logs in the old days while waiting for them to be trucked or sledded to a mill.

Yes, occasionally we come across one that is still in good shape. I've had old timers tell me of stands of balsam that were close to 24" on the butt, although I've never seen them that large

Yes, I priced them recently. Inflation really takes a bite.

And yet two sawmill manufacturers that I know of have copied this exact design for machines of their own. All I know is its worked well for me for twenty years.

Ok....forty five years of logging experience kinda tells me that....

​@@ERLong-ww7yn Yes, but you need to explain that to your viewers, many of whom don't have that background knowledge, and some of whom have an "easy-money, get-rich-quick" attitude when they start imagining millions of dollars of profit in their little 10-acre woodlot. 😉

I don't have a setter currently. I only get four or five sharpening per blade before they develop stress cracks, and in 18 years I've only had a handful of blades get a tooth badly out of set.

@@ERLong-ww7yn I have just finished sharpening my second band. The first one went slow, second one was quick by comparison once I had developed the technique. Unless one makes contact with foreign bodies in the timber, there is no reason why the tooth pitches should change. Quite correct. If I can get 5 sharpenings per blade, the savings on outsourcing the sharpening will afford me a new blade. Thanks again for your invaluable info!

Absolutely. Winter cut wood that is junked and split and stacked to air dry will be at 10% moisture or less in early September. Just cover your ranks with a bit of plastic making sure the plastic doesn't hang down to the ground. If it does that, the plastic will trap moisture inside the pile. You just need a top covering to shed the rain.

@ERLong-ww7yn thanks for the reply.. i usually fall my wood in August at the full moon, but i find it doesn't get dry enough it dries some more in the basement but takes all winter before it gets just right .

@@ERLong-ww7yn is it a good time to fall for next year's wood?

@@atv950 one trick I used to see the old guys do when cutting wood in the summer was they'd fall the trees while they were in full leaf, but not limb them immediately. They'd let the leaves wither and dry, and in doing so, the leaves help suck moisture out of the wood. I would say cutting wood past early September for winter use is pushing it. In a dry year, wood can be cut in September if it is split and piled immediately. Wood cut and left in long lengths will dry in about 12 inches on the ends, but then that dried wood prevents moisture from escaping from the center of a log. I've seen hardwood and softwood logs cut two years, and the center of the tree would be as wet or wetter than a fresh cut tree. The key to drying is expose as much surface area to sun and wind as quick as possible. Hope this helps.

@ERLong-ww7yn awesome thanks a lot

If you're speaking of the orange whip that extends behind the saw, that is a "tail" or "chainsaw measure". It is installed with two screws to the rear handle then cut to a length. We set ours in such a way that from the tip of the bar to the end of the tail is 4 feet and one inch. That way, when measuring up logs for bucking to length, we lay the saw on the tree at the butt, give the saw a shot of gas, marking the log at 4'1". Then, as we proceed up the tree, we mark lengths at 8'2", 12'3" and 16'4". The wood products we sell are either 8'4", 12'6", or 16'6". The whip gives us a quick way to approximate the lengths without using a tape measure.

@@ERLong-ww7ynyou're genious! thanx~

​@ERLong-ww7yn that's genius

The issue we see here is that , for example, in 2004 a tandem load of logs scaled by Bangor Log Rule and delivered to the mill would pay me about $1600.00. At that time, we had numerous mills operating in the province, and most if not all stick scaled. Today, with one major player in the business and all mills buying by weight scale, that same truckload of logs will pay me between $800-900 after trucking. Meanwhile, lumber prices in the building supply stores have quadrupled, chainsaws have doubled in price, fuel has gone from around .75/ liter to $1.68/liter, chain oil has jumped from $7/ gallon to $19/ gallon. The mills are winning, the landowner is losing. Plain and simple.

@@ERLong-ww7yn Mills are winning? Since when? Canada has seen massive mill closures since the 1990s. Major licensees have been pulling out of small towns throughout the West, dooming them in their job markets and people, with their mortgages/homes/families. Licensees still pay for fuel, chainsaws, maintenance, road use agreements. Do you know a sawmill pays a general work labourer a wage upward of 31.00/hourly? This is an extraordinarily high wage for near unskilled-labour, basic material handling. The licensee pays that. Then we have First Nations reconciliation, wildlife and riparian tree retention areas, leave tree basal area specification, old growth area, migratory bird / ungulate range / grizzly habitat government action orders biting into Crown land and timber supply areas, biodiversity / plant rangeland availability / and visual objectives biting into timber supply areas. Absorbent high road-sharing fees with oil and gas, mining, telecomm industry. sigh... the mills are not winning. They are crying. If anything, Woodlot Owners face less of these regulations and government orders than the licensee and mill do.

@@demetrioshristovski4518 your viewpoint is West Coast centric and doesn't reflect the issues New Brunswick and other east coast woodlot owners have faced in the past 25 years. This Woodlot Management series is dedicated to helping newcomers to the game get their footing in small scale forestry, not to promote west coast industrial forestry practices. Thank you for your input.

@@ERLong-ww7yn Fair enough. But as a professional, I am governed by a code of ethics. My code of practice highlights that I practice in BC, under the association of ABCFP, but the ABCFP is regulated Federally, as one province of CIF. CIF regulates forestry throughout canada. About ethics though, not as a person to show partial treatment to any of: Crown Land tenure, mill or licensee, to a christmas tree permit owner, a tree farm license holder, a woodlot license owner, a firewood collection permit owner and seller....but rather seeing this as a wood issue. What is the wood worth? Not particles attached to the wood when wet, or absent when dry. Its my duty as a professional, amongst other professionals, to cruise and scale logs, and produce stumpage on a dry weighted product, which more closely resembles wood entering processing - rather than additionally capturing irrelevant constituents which add weight to the sale of the product. (ice/soil/debris/insect larvae/moisture content) You are looking out for WL owners and small scale startups - okay. But nevertheless, its a stated bias? I am not looking out for anyone, any party - but rather scientifically measuring the true value of wood? A mill, or a persons mill saw, isnt after soil, ice, moisture content, Etc.....correct? Why should any party benefit from it attached to a sale? On another note, this is why we regulate professionals. I have nothing against your channel and its videos, its fine content. And I am here watching it? I use it to learn of forestry (to which I havent had means to learn of maritime forestry before) If you dont want me watching it, that is fine? But I think its pertinent, the help you provide to other woodlot owners and small time startups, you should also disclose more often it isnt the advice from a certified professional.

Dug that one out of the archives from four years ago. The boys were...shall we say...learning. lol

Here in NB, harvest of land by the major players seldom includes the factors you are mentioning. I've seen them leave a perimeter around raptor nests, but even the setbacks around watercourses have been decreased in recent years. A few years ago I was offered a stumpage agreement on two woodlots I own. There was no allowance for anything to be left behind. It was a flat out clearcut deal. I know a good many people that have taken that route, and they're left with a field of stumps and brush.

@@ERLong-ww7yn Within 2 years, a licensee is required to re-plant complete clear-cut harvests with biogeoclimatic approved stocking standard desirable and/or acceptable species. This includes strip/partial selection cut too. Most of these approved/acceptable species would include doug fir, Sx (white and engel and sitka) although in north interior (real north black sp too) lasiocarpa (abies) lodgepole and ponderosa pine, and larch / hemlock. I am not coastal, so l exclude alot of things like the big balsams This is important, because licensees are held to obligations within 5yrs, silviculture green-up. And free growing, 10-20 years. Also, after harvests waste and residues surveys are needed, and dispersal of CWD (coarse woods) for soil revitalization and wildlife habitat This isnt done in the sense of home-steads, procuring local timber and non-timber products....but rather industrial forestry to meet province/nation, international timber supply needs.

@@demetrioshristovski4518 i know that in Sweden and maybe some of the other Scandinavian countries, when a block of land ,including private, is cut, the government withholds a portion until proper reforestation is carried out. I think the withheld funds can be used to pay for seedlings. I had a chat with a gentleman from Sweden that was here demonstrating harvesters years ago. A good plan in my mind, although here it would raise the hackles of the fut and run crowd.

All good points. I know the major player here used aerial projection software that analyzes the overall stand. The software uses satellite imagery and can identify softwood, hardwood, geographical features, relative tree size, age, etc. Unfortunately, harvest on Crown Land, and by transference, private land management plans, is aimed at producing three species of trees: white pine, red spruce, and a new variant of Scandinavian spruce. All other species are tiered below the Big Three. For a private woodlot owner to receive funds from the woodlot association ( from check off rates deducted from the sale of wood) the chosen silviculture program must be geared towards producing the Big Three trees. Do I agree with this? No. Do we have a choice when faced with the present day monopoly? No. Will I forever be a rebel who works his land with an eye toward local ecology and maintaining a natural stand Acadian forest? Yes. Your BC forest management plan has a lot bigger players than we have here, and has a lot of input from environmental groups that are strangely quiet on the east coast. Different ball field, different rules. Please feel welcome to continue commenting. It's good for viewers to get a viewpoint from the professional scientific dide of forestry, something I am not.

@@ERLong-ww7yn Crown land here use aforementioned stocking standards for bio-zone repopulation. I am not an landscape ecologist or plant botanist, I dont know the generation seen ramifications of pure stands other than whats basically interpreted, which industry try to push for and desire. But yes, biodiversity is something our province forest LEG pushes for. I have toured some of IRVlNGs plantation stands, Norway Spruce, yes? It was my understanding yellow birch also a crop species for studs? White / black spruce, jack pine, tamarack are not major marketed spp east coast? I dont know the extent of rust damage on white pine out east, but west coast finding white pine suitable for any sort of mill is extremely difficult. No problem, by the way. My old man, was a steel machine centre (milling) and lathe operator for 5 decades. When I helped out as a kid and teen with firewood and wood-working, he thought I d make a fine carpenter some day. We had about 30Acres just outside greater toronto. But it turned I enrolled into forestry, the 90s highschool system were large advocates for university pushes, in that students MUST go to university

@@demetrioshristovski4518 in the 70s there was a big movement toward planting Jack pine, but once the initial plantations were ready to harvest, they found the wood inferior for pulp because it created a brownish color that was only suitable for cardboard. I've never heard of yellow birch being used for stud. There was a real good market here for veneer 20 years ago. I had one 9 foot yellow birch log that went to Austria. I got over $900 for that stick. However, that market has dried up considerably. It also led to a lot of piracy, but that's another story.

No walnut in my area but I've heard it gives a good black color.

Rabbits are hunted and snared down here quite a bit by the Acadian folks who use it as the main ingredient in a traditional meat pie they make. Quite good I understand.

Knotweed has become a real problem here in our province

Yes, but it enabled us to put a hard leaner where we wanted it. Wedges don't always work in frozen wood.

You got that right. Our current prices are close to 1970s prices, yet our expenses are crazy. $19 for a jug of chain oil that used to he $4
