- Driving my KIOTI tractor in tight spaces can be a lot of work; due to my advanced age. It takes a lot of steering input to move around the woodyard.
I went out and got this for my steering wheel to make work a bit easier:

Chris, the spinners are the 1st thing we purchased in every tractor we have had, even had one on my 73 Ford pickup years ago🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Very cool! I do like it so far!
I put one on my dirt bike, dont work so well... haha
Chris! I’ve been a RUclips watch for many years. I have several favorite channels. There is only one channel that I go to every day. There is only one channel that I’m disappointed when a video is not uploaded from. I don’t know how you do it! All of your videos are similar enough and yet they’re also disimilar enough to keep interest. The music selection and the ever-changing camera positions are wonderful examples of your creativity. Your sense of humor goes a long way to the quality of your channel. If you can keep this up, “In The Woodyard“ is on its way to being one of the very best snd most popular channels on RUclips. You may well end up with over 100,000 subscribers and RUclips could be an entirely new way to fund your retirement! I wish you all the best! Thank you for all the videos.
I have two I never miss. The second is "Cole the Cornstar."
It has to be the work ethic. Not sure.
Thanks for the kind words Jay, I appreciate it!
Thanks Michael!
Looks like a time saver
Yes, it is!
I look forward to watching your videos, they are great to watch.
Thanks Larry!
Well said Larry..😁👍
Women need a $200 pair of shoes to be that happy- men need a $14 spinner!
Ha! Yup, we are easily entertained!
Ahhh, the banjo has reappeared. Thanks Chris
I put it on there just for you Dale!
Those knobs are one of the best tractor upgrades a person can do.
Yes, I am liking it!
Once you get used to a good knob you can never be without! Thanks for the good info on the Kinco gloves! Got my order in for Christmas gifts for my wood working family members! Best gloves I've used so far, and I've gone through a lot!! Happy Holidays everyone! Keep on splitting!!!
Right on!I like them a bunch!
Great teaser for tomorrow. I’ll be waiting at 6:30 est.
Yup, the uncles where great!
I've been looking at these for my new Kioti DK4520. Just ordered the one you used because I know it will fit. Thanks!
It is great, I us it all the time!
Looks like a beautiful day. Pretty cool that your uncles are coming to help you.
Yup, it was a fun day!
To bad ash is good wood. We’re got a lot the same thing happening with the pine. Close to ever house is built out of pine. Nice video I got to get to cutting and splitting. Have a good day Chris 👍🏻
Thanks Danny!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching Frank!
You got a good deal on the steering spinner. I just bought one for my 4230 John Deere this summer from the JD dealership and it was $28. I suppose the extra cost was for the nifty John Deere logo on the knob. I was wearing a huge calloused lump on my left hand from mowing, raking, and baling hay with sweaty hands. The steering knob stopped that. 🤠👍
Yup, it is a nice thing to have, I will get used to it fast!
Woke up early this morning, waited for your latest video to show up, enjoyed it with my morning coffee, headed out to winterize the landscaping and put the mowers away for the season. Thanks for all the effort in putting out these videos.
Thanks Dave, glad you where here!
G’morning Chris. I love my spinner too ! Awesome to see all these load come full circle. I’m sure there is no more wood from when I started watching. Great job ! GoodNightIrene
I have some cottonwood that is 1 1/2 years old from when I started the channel.
Good afternoon from Grand Forks
Hello Dean!
Thanks for the unboxing/review ordered one immediately. 😂
Glad I could help!
Nice video. Still a lot of healthy ash in my area, but I know the day is coming when it will become infected. Back in the day I had a local friend that sold firewood in the city. Had side boards on his pickup that said "nothing beats a good piece of ash". Your sunset sky finale was the highlight of the video.
Thanks Larry, the average person spends way to much time inside to see sunrise and sunset, I do it a lot!
Ok Chris I had something to say but your ending showing the sky.. I did that today and I promise I didn't know you already did that today as well😁👍. I want to be 2 videos ahead and I think by the time I am done editing I will achieve that goal..
Good stuff! Just keep at it!
Fab autumn weather here in Ireland today too,great video as always Chris.🇨🇮🪵🪵👍🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻
Thanks so much Vera!
the steering wheel spinner makes operating the loader a lot better. One hand on the wheel, one hand on the joystick. Enjoy the journey - cheers
I am finding that out fast!
Good job!
Looking forward to meeting the Uncles!
Tomorrow!
I definitely like my spinner knob. I have mine at about the eight o’clock position. You get used to it pretty quick without tearing things up. It makes steering with one hand very easy.
Good to know! Thanks Richard!
Excellent 👍
Thanks Tom!
Love the spinner knob on my tractor. We have more dead ash here in cny than live it sucks but like you said there’s really nothing we can do about it. Have a great day, and stay safe.
Thanks. Yes the ash will be gone soon.
Oh Man that's SOOOO dangerous. You'll be hauling ass down the windy mountain road at 80 or 90 MPH and the thing will have worn through and - - - oh - - - - it's a tractor - - - - belay that.
I thought about getting one. And then I realized I can steer one-handed with the flat of my palm. the Steering on that tractor is really nice.
I was okay with my palm too, but the knob is better!
Simple pleasures- a new spinner. 👍👌🇺🇸
Yup, I do not need much to be happy!
We called them brody knobs
Good to know!
I forgot to mention; I drive a big rig for a living. I have a spinner. I position mine between 7 & 8 o’clock. I’m right handed. It’s like putting a baseball mit on the left hand; it frees up the right hand to do what the left one CANT. You’ll probably find that it sucks to always have to reach to grab your spinner. Having it closer to me is what I prefer. Also, being to the side, it is a little more out of the way. Everyone positions theirs a little differently. Don’t be afraid to move it around the wheel and use it a few days in each spot to figure out what you’re most comfortable with.
That sounds like a good idea, I'll give it a try!
Very good point!
It's all over the place on my JD X739,@m9 ovich LOL!
Morning Chris. Back in the day, teenagers would drag race up and down our streets. Most of them had what they called suicide knobs on their steering wheel. It was frowned upon, because they wouldn’t keep their hands on the steering wheel. Drive safely 👍
Yes, I have heard that!
I had one on my 1964 Chevrolet truck..I don't think they are legal now but it was night and day with manual steering...
Yes I imagine so, they do help.
Chris I know this maybe to late to say but hope your uncles can keep up with you. The iron man competition is nothing like throwing firewood around. Seen guys who thought they were in good shape say that's the hardest work they ever did and be out of breath trying to keep up. Have a great day be safe.
I go easy on them, next time they come, it will be a marathon work day HA!
👍
Thanks Dan!
It will be fun to watch your uncles reaction while they observe you working.
Tomorrow!
They'll be buggin' you to learn the secret of hyper speed. It's OK to tell them, on camera. I can't use your secrets anyway. Slow bending over. It's a lot farther to my feet than it used to be!
The Ash tree disease just started really ramping up here in NNJ, it was slow to start but now its like almost every tree is showing signs of either being dead, stress or bark blonde, I personally have like 30 tree's on my property that will need to come down, its a win for me but I'm just trying to manage it all, only cutting up the ones that a dropping limbs and leaving the more solid ones standing, hopefully it can last for 2 years so I can spread out the wood, hate to see it all rot at once.
We also just started seeing the lantern fly (chinese moth) these are nasty buggers, apparently they like to overwhelm everything with there favorite tree's being poplar and maples, I also have tons of maple here so thats going to stink when it starts taking off.
Yup, nature is always attacking itself!
🤘
Thanks!
Chris, a quick one about your best friends PPE for the job : gloves !
Can you tell us what brand and how long do they last, typically for cutting, splitting and handling 600 loads a year ? Just so we know your best pick between crappy stuff out there 😅 could even be a video itself I'm sure about gloves and chaps etc
I already did a video about the gloves last year, it is on my channel. KINKO pig skin gloves, my favorites!
Good morning Chris. I put my spinny thingy near the bottom of the wheel. You will find your favorite spot for it GNI
Ya, I'll try some other spots out!
We called the spinners suicide knobs. Illegal in most states for the road.
It is on a tractor, legal.
My preferred spinner position is about 4 o'clock. I don't have a loader or many other controls to mess with. With a bad shoulder joint it's almost a necessity anymore.
GNI
Yes, might try out some other spots for it!
Absolutely beautiful area you live in love the scenery alot the same as up here in northern Ontario Canada I'm curious you mentioned talking hunting with your customer do you and your brothers Deer hunt ? Looks like a great place for it
Yup, we sure do, a lot at that!
Hi Cris,Good Morning,Ed from VT,just throw a big block of butter nut in the furnace.large tree that dis a couple of years ago
I did have some butter nut here a couple years ago, it is a lot like aspen for burning, easy and fast like a girl I once knew, ha!
Just took down some dead Ash on our property. Seems it’s best to take them down as soon as they die. We waited a few years, and the stump was hollow/dirt. Still have some nice big live ones. Wondering if I should take them now, or are they somehow resilient? Spinner knobs are terrific!
My advice is to get the wood while it is still solid.
You know you bought your tractor that beautiful accessory. It almost looks like a great big diamond ring. What are you getting your wife for Christmas!
I got her that knob! And that is it! HA!
Hey Chris, The name “suicide knob” might make it sound like it's against the law to use steering wheel knobs. None of the 50 states, however, have statutes that ban their use. A few states even require handicapped individuals to use a steering aid of some type. Sep 3, 2020 🤣
Yes some say they are illegal for on the road, mine is on a tractor.
I went to high speed driving class in the mid-70s hosted by Los Angeles County Sheriff's office. Their biggest pet peeve involved deputies that put a suicide knob on the cruisers at the start of shift. Part of the class was teaching how to maneuver the wheel with two hands always on the wheel. Basically the left hand moves from 7 o'clock to 11 and back and forth, while the right hand moves from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock. It was their way of doing it. One of the deputies in the class was there because he had a high-speed crash, so think remedial training. The deputy was adamant that once he got back into a cruiser, he would make sure it was equipped with a 'suicide knob' and that is what they called them.
I am thinking You would have that guy, "Who needs instructions?"
@@InTheWoodyard None of the 50 states, however, have statutes that ban their use.
You better get your Ash in gear man! Isn't it weird when there is a male customer that just stands there while your unloading and the awkward silence lol.
Yes, it is in my nature to always help someone.
It's none of my business but if you don't mind me asking how many cords do you sell a year on average
Sure, I sell about 200 full cords a year or 600 face cords, mostly oak followed by maple cherry ash pine locust hickory in that order.
Good morning everyone
Hello Stanley!
We used to call them "knicker knobs" in Michigan!
We called thumb busters before power steering .
Nice!
Ya, I suppose so!
So, this may be a silly question, but can firewood get too old to use? Just thinking about the shortage u have coming with ash, didn’t know if u could stock pile?
Oak will last longer than any one of us IF it is kept dry and off the ground covered. A lot of other wood can get bugs and turn to powder. An example of how long wood lasts, think about the wood in your home, the structure itself and the contents that are made of wood or wood materials. Kept away from the elements it will last a very long time. Good question Chris.
@@InTheWoodyard thank u!
I put the steering knob in the lower right or lower left, easier for me.
I might try out the lower left!
Not much Ash left? You might say you are getting your Ash kicked!
Yes it sure is!
Those things will give you tennis elbow. For all day driving I do not recommend, a couple of hours is fine.
Thanks for the tip Tony, that explains it !
The emerald ash borer came here from Asia, China most likely 🤦🏻♂️. We don’t have it yet here in the deep south but it is being monitored closely. I hope it never makes it, ash is one of my most favorite trees.
Ya, it is not a good thing to loose them all!
Is uncle ben coming
More uncle Bens are always coming! HA!
Only if u sold firewood in the uk England I would buy 5 cords a month
For a price, I do deliver! HA!
What is this??
2 minutes of knob, 20 minutes of firewood 🤣🤣
It is a video showing a new tool in my wood yard and then using it in the wood yard , it is what all my videos are....in the wood yard. Does that help?
first comment
Gold star for you!
Did you mean to spell "Theanks" that way at the end,🦧...
No, it was probably just a typo, first one ever! HA!
@@InTheWoodyard 👍

Thanks!
