Making Tri-Axle Loads of Firewood w/Dyna SC-16 Processor!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Trying out the new Dyna SC-16 Firewood Processor to see how much wood we can cut and split over a short period of time. We also used the Ford L9000 tri axle dump truck and the F-750 single axle dump to move all the wood home.

My interest in this channel started when somehow this video for a pond build ended up in my feed. Through your videos, I was introduced to a lifestyle that felt so different than my fast paced, Southern California life. I have come to love watching your videos and your commitment to your family, your community and hard work. These virtues I understand now is the connection. No matter if you are in Indiana or California, these virtues are universal. Your videos have now become one of my daily routines and I look forward to my Sunday morning coffee and a new Dig, Drive, DIY video. Thank you for all the time, energy and effort you and your family put into making us all feel a little more connected. Well done Koch’s. By the way, love the hats, they fit a big head!!!!!
Thank you for the very kind words. We find a great deal of value in those virtues as you mentioned. I'm glad you found enjoyment from these little videos, and it's always humbling to hear about someone from a different walk of life watching and following along. Thanks again.
I’m very same. Found this channel accidentally and instantly hooked up, living in Ireland and love watching this American farm life
Same here. Have no idea why or how his pond build ended up in my feed but our family loves watching. It’s definitely a breath of fresh air compared to what else is going on in the world! Love this channel!
And me as well. I was going through some hard times and binge watching your videos (starting with the pond videos and then going back to the beginning) was a key ingredient to finding my footing again. Thanks, Neil 🙂
Can you do a video of all the machines you have?
Glad your dad is doing well, nice processsor for sure.
The amount of time a processor saves is invaluable and the rental option seals it, BUT... the help is what really counts. There's no way one person could run all of that, make repairs, keep the machine fed, etc, etc... the crew are your most valuable assets 😁👍
Very good point Sam! 👍🏻
Yeah, having good help is the real key here!
It’s nice when a manufacturer takes notice and incorporates improvements. Good to see.
Glad your Father bounced back so quickly.
It’s hard to keep a good man down.
Those ibc totes look like they're the solution you need for the wood stacking
Glad your dad is doing better,,use punky up in the northeast too
In the mountains of Colorado I used to hand stack every load of wood 🪵 on my truck and my new customers would say is that all of my wood. I would laugh and say yep it is 4x4x8. Is what you asked for. They would say that the last guy brought them a load just thrown in and called it a cord. I kept busy all winter. Hauling fire wood in the mountains. 🏔️
“Punkey” is used in New England. You need a burn barrel to loose the scraps and keep warm
For the ice skating rink first remove the snow then flood with a layer of fresh water so t freezes and it's smooth
Team work makes the dream work.
🔥🔥🔥 LOVE SEEING THAT FORD DUMP TRUCK ON THE CHANNEL!!!
Thanks Todd! It's been fun playing with this truck!
Glad to see your Dad back on the mend! Wondering, are you the only one in the family that burns wood for heat? You're are proving once again why the Midwest is the best place to live. Hard work is so satisfying. Makes you appreciate what you have - keep the videos coming. You have found your purpose!
I'm the only one left. My Dad and two uncles used to heat with wood. My cousin Paul still heats with wood but that's about it.
"Split" the use of the processor with cousin Paul (see what I did there? 🤔🥴😆).
That processor is a beast! The joint aches and muscle strains it saves could put my masseuse out of a job!
The answer is, “Yes. I’ve lost an oil cap. And true to Dave’s addendum to Murphy’s Law… it did so at the worst possible time.”
Our grandson was coming over so that we could take his Senior year photos. One of the scenes that he wanted was to sit on my homemade bridge over Sassafras Valley’s Gully. To get the right perspective, I needed to trim a few limbs off the trees.
I was still in my business casual clothes from work… the 028 Stihl needed gas and oil. It has screw caps that require the scrench to loosen them and snug them back after filling. Newer saws have the snap lock type cap that doesn’t require tools.
You know where this is heading… evidently, I forgot to snug the caps after I filled them. I cut the first few limbs at about waist height. By the time I got to those at chest level the gas cap was weeping and the oil cap popped out in mid cut.
I haven’t a clue whatever combination of chemicals are in the mixed fuel and bar oil. But, I can assure you that you won’t be finding a guarantee on any stain removal product that’s sold retail… and, when it seeps inside your new dress shoes you’ll instantly have a pair ready for light yard work!
Glad you got that wood processed… now you can play a little ice hockey with the girls. Enjoy!!!
Oh boy! Fortunately I haven't had a set of good clothes fall victim to the loose oil cap, but now every set of Carhartt bibs I own bear the mark of the 036!
The funny part is that it can happen without noticing sometimes. Seems impossible.
We did get some ice skating in. Only problem is we took for granted that we'd have skates for everyone this year! Turns out the girls had to wear Mom and Dad's skates so I was just a spectator for this first round.
Amazon should fix the skate shortage issue, but now we just need another cold snap!
Have a great week!
A close friend of.mine rented the same processor early this winter and made short work of his log pile. I have 3 times the logs he has and plan to rent the same machine. Great video Neil!
You will love it!
Great video Neil! I saw you in your work booth at the Fort Wayne farm show this past week but you were talking to some other people so I didn’t get to stop and say hi. Hope the show went well for you though!
Thanks! Sorry I didn't get to meet you but maybe next year!
Glad Jack is doing much better. You are so fortunate to have all that family and those awesome Dyna Processor friends!
Yes indeed!
You could stack a lot of wood in a 20' shipping container. Just stick the end of the belt in the end of the box and have a couple nephews stack the logs as they come off the belt. I think a 20' box would hold close to 10 cords.
We used to cut a couple stacked heaping pickup loads of wood every month or so when I was a kid. We did everything the hard way except for having a hydraulic splitter and good chainsaws. That firewood processor makes it look easy.
We use "punky" here in Orange County, NY too!!
I too got interested with the pond build and now I look fwd to Sundays to see what’s going on. I love seeing your life style, it’s just sooo different to where I come from.
Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you need more videos ha ha thank you
I don't know how this channel ended up in my recommendations, but I'm glad it did. I had a terrible hangover yesterday and watched 10 or more of your videos. I can safely say that you cured my hangover! 😄 Keep up the good work and greetings from Poland!
I'm glad you're here!
IBC container cages work well for firewood. Easy to move around. Stackable as well. We cut a front bar out for the sake of grabbing out of in the shop.
I'm from Northern Illinois, and we have always used the word punky as well, to describe wood that is starting to get soft. My wife and I love your videos, and every time your dad is in a video, my wife says he is so darn cute.
I'm glad he's back too!
Can't get over how awesome Louie is!!!
I can't either! 😁
$600 for a processor is about what I spend on 250 gallons of oil, and I'm sure the firewood lasts a whole heck of longer. Thanks for sharing the processing.
That new hip is stronger than the one Jack had when he was 25. Once all the tissue around it heals up, he's going to be unstoppable!
Just discovered this channel within the past week and since then have watched the pond go in and a number of other videos. I assumed you were a trust fund baby with millions of dollars to play with while watching the first video. I quickly realized how wrong I was and instead you are a product of hard work, persistence, intelligence, creativity, a willingness to try things, and a great family. Great site.
Thank you much. I appreciate that you gave it a chance 👍🏻
Great work ethic and an inspiration too. Tops off Sunday pretty well. Some football will make the day complete. Thanks Neil.
Love hearing this kinda stuff. Thanks 👍🏻
Punky. No. I understood you without explanation and I live in Nova Scotia CA. I saw you thanking your father. I'm not quite as mature as he, but I feel certain your Dad thanks you also. There's nothing more important when you're older, when you're retired...as keeping active, being useful, feeling useful. And I'm sure he does.
I hope we get to see the ice skating been looking forward to that since someone in the comments said that it was likely the pond would freeze 😊
Stay tuned
Tip if you have a forklift, You can stack the wood on wooden surfaces, huge pile on the field next to where you processed the logs and a few next the wood shed. Stack only once.
Neil, for firewood storage, consider modified IBC tote frames. Adam on the Hometown Acres channel uses these to store his firewood. By the way, I really enjoy the channel!
Thanks 👍🏻
Now that's a smooth operation AND a heck of a lot of wood in a short period of time...nice work! The key is in the prep, makes all the difference when time is a factor.
Thanks Dan!
I think you should make a dedicated wood trailer. Like an old landscape with high sides. You process and stack it into the trailer then back it into that nook between the buildings and load the burner directly from the trailer.
Hey Neil; enjoying watching all your efforts in the snow while I’m sitting back in the aircon while it’s really how and humid here in Queensland, Australia. I love watching what you get up to, especially today when you mentioned looking to find a method for handling all the cut wood once you’ve dumped it in your storage area ;I was instantly reminded of Riley on Ambition Strikes, where I saw he used the frames from those big white water totes ( like you cut up for the sawdust in this episode),; you can see lots of them stacked at or about the 17 minute mark on his video “Finishing Our DIY Container Workshop, Part 5”. Once stacked, he can just move them with the forklift…. Maybe that’s a workable idea for you. Best wishes……love the farming info for “ city-slicker” me.
Thanks for watching!
Good to see your Dad is doing good now. As far as the word Punky for the wood, we use it here in eastern PA.
I was born and raised in Louisiana and I know punky.
Top video and nice to see dad back💪
I grew up in Southern California where my parents heat the house with citrus, oak and Avocado wood. My dad definitely used ‘punky wood’ to describe when it started to rot! Love watching with my 7 and 9 year old in Missouri and weirdly reminds me of home ( except the snow!)
Good to see you back in the videos uncle Jack, the UBC tote was a great idea, see you soon 😎
Thanks Cousin Tony!
I 'logged" on to this video and it is a "cut" above the rest .Left every one else in the "saw dust"or "barking up the wrong tree" OK i'll stop ...Great video Neil ....
This comment is on "fire".
🤣@@digdrivediy
Glad to see your pops is doing better!
Welcome back dad! Super glad to see you back at it.
Teamwork makes the dream work! Great job working that firewood processor, excavator, and the dump trucks to make about 2 years worth of work (at my speed) completed in a couple days.
Thanks Chad!
I have very fond memories of going out as a family to "make" wood. We had a wood burning stove in the basement that we used to supplement heat the house. We would go through 2-5 cord or wood a season.
Here in NY we'll also call lite wood pinkie.
Haven't heard that one.
Great to meet you at the FW farm show and thanks for the sticker. Awesome videos!
Thanks and great to meet you too!
Hello Neil, first of all it's great that your father is doing well. Now when I see him move I hear the sound of the 6 million dollar man. 😉
My setup for firewood consists of a small chainsaw and a wheelbarrow.
Great video and greetings from Germany
I missed a perfect opportunity for some sound effects!
Your father is an encouragement to me. I am due for knee replacement surgery on Mar. 4, 2024. It is good to involve your dad in making firewood. . . . in Canada, we have a prime minister who finds a way to tax us on what we burn. (Natural gas in Alberta.) He would like us to use electricity produced by hydro dams. Alberta came close to shutting down the electrical grid a week ago. The solar panels do not work at night and the wind turbines were not running due to the cold temperatures. . . . you are fortunate to be running "off the grid". Thank you for sharing your work cutting experiences. Your girls clearing the pond for skating looks interesting for a future video. 😊
Glad to see your dad jumping back in. It’s sometimes hard to know when you to hire stuff out or rent equipment. We aren’t getting any younger.
Very interesting video and perfect time of 25 mins. It's exactly how long I'm on the treadmill after breakfast and before work. Thanks for sharing.
im so glad your dad is doing well and up moving around
Great crew, hope you Dad is on the way to fully heal
Another great video, quickly becoming one of my favourite channels!
Wow, thanks!
So happy Dad is healing up and he did not show any pain 🎉 God blessing for you all 😇
I still have no idea what kind of wood you where splitting 😂 but Dina was eating all of it 😊
There was a bit of everything!
Somehow I missed watching this one.... Glad to see your dad back at it again. Working with you is what's keeping him going.
I love the spirit of community that you and your family have! Cool video!
Thanks!
Hi Neil. I didn't know that your dad broke his hip. Glad to see that he is recovering well. That is a beast of a machine! Seems like it would be well worth renting for anyone who burns as much wood as you do.
It is great! And don't feel bad this is the first time we disclosed that he broke it.
Love the channel, professional arborist here…your saw is slowing you down a bit…some things I notice. Your saw is desirable in the saw community. Sell it. And get yourself a ported 261 cm. It’s way lighter, way more power, and less wear and tear on your body. Keep the 661, make sure you clean and replace the air filter often. I’d hit up Rip Saw for a sponsorship deal. Or west coast saws. Do it you won’t regret it sir. Cheers.
Thanks for the tips! I might just do that!
I like your sawdust catchment system. Great idea!
Great to see your dad is doing better, and great to see another firewood video! Thanks Neil!
Dads are great love working with my dad and live having my boys help me out
God bless you and your family
Love the videos
We built holders for mini bulk bags. The ones we have hold 1/3 cord each you may be able to get larger ones, as we sell wood the 1/3 work very well.
Some talented, self motivated REAL men in this family. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video again Neil. Glad your dad is doing good. You must have put a lot of thought into this production work to figure out all the prep. Props to your brother up in the truck keeping up with the wood.
Many thanks!
Good to see your Dad doing well. Great job with processor. That's alot of wood in a hurry. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done Neil! See ya on the next one neighbor!!!
Nice video.
I thought the Dyna processor was cool in its previous appearances, but it was even better this time. It's great to see companies that listen and improve things. And it was even greater to see your Dad back in action with his new hip!
I grew up on a farm in Ireland, been in Chicago for years. boy what I would give to have had one those when I was a kid! Great that your Dad is doing Good!
Love to see your dad his doing well after Operation God Bless . and love the video on all your helps .
I'm glad your dad is doing well after breaking his hip. My dad broke his hip in November 2022, when he was 83. He recovered well from it, but in the process of being in the hospital, they found he had a bad heart valve and a bladder stone the size of a chicken egg. It took about 10 months to get everything taken care of, but he now has a new heart valve (made with pig tissue) and his bladder stone removed. He's doing very well, all things considered.
Very cool to see how all of you teamed up to tackle that wood! That was a lot!
Glad to hear your Dad is doing well!
Good morning, nice use of the time spent, I guess many hands make short work. Looks like it pays to work smarter not harder is a guiding principle when achieving your value added goals. You’ve got a lot of good help, especially the young one who are forming fond memories of “Remember When”, hopefully Bionic Dad was none to worse for ware, maybe it pays to be a Six Million Dollar Man. 😀👍👍👍
Props to your dad for getting right back up on the horse so soon after hip-replacement. Where y’all live and the element in which you work must make guys like him STRONG!
Ps If you ever bought one of those, it would be a Fun project to try to capture some of the ways to eat off of the union and conducted over to help warm the (Dad) operator.
For sure. Just standing there gets cold!
That Dyna firewood processor was nice, I always did by chainsaw and maul, by hand and took all summer to build up the wood pile. But always had plenty of wood. Glad your dads doing good.
Awsome job, with the crew.
Wow I know the feeling of having enough ahead to finish the heating season WHAT A relief! I hadn’t heard about your dad 🥴😞I’m so glad to see that he’s doing great now! Tell him and your mom hello from the McGuire’s. Take care my friend!
Hi Mike! We always look forward to reading your kind words to Neil. Jack just hates it when he can't be in on whatever projects the boys are doing. Can't keep a good man down for long. He's worked hard to get back to being busy every day. Hello back from the Koch's!
Thanks as always Mike!
Thank God for Dads! I miss mine rip 3 mos now.
Hug and even kiss you Dad, I wish I had done that more often snd told him how much I loved him and how much he meant to me.
😢
This saw is a "treasure" for every carpenter and mechanical engineer!
Glad to see your dad back. That was a good video. You broke that down really well.
Thanks again
BlufftonReiff here. So I’ve lost the Gas cap, didn’t realize it until the saw died and ended my day. I never did find it in the foot of snow (my retainer line was broken). Yes my leg looked very similar. lol! Your family coming behind you to support you warms my heart on this cold Indiana morning. Great legacy at work up there in Harlan. Thanks for the Sunday installment!!!
Thanks! Hate it when that happens :)
Glad dad is doing well ! A trick i was taught with the tall converyor stackers at work and the crusher itself in the winter is to clean it up as best you can , then get a pump sprayer , fill it with RV antifreeze and spray down rollers and stuff that is tough to acess with it at the end of the day . It makes life so much easier the next morning on.cold cold winter days
Every year my dad and I make enough wood to fill a 8 foot by 16 food shed. We always drag the logs into a clearing then saw buck them up and split them. I enjoyed you showing the firewood processor in action. My dad and I enjoy gong the the logging show in Michigan where they have all of the firewood processing equipment.
Scuffy the neighbor boy (young man) go on strike this year?? Nice of Dyna to try saving face after the last ordeal. They are the only processor manufacturer I am aware of that helps their clients with a rental program. The cost to rent one not knowing what all maintenance issues could arise is sure the downfall. Not every owner is keeping them in tip top condition...Hard to beat a years worth of wood with a day and half of work though. It looks like a lot of mess but there would be just as much with a chainsaw and box store splitter. That was a bunch of firewood!
The neighbor boy is growing up. He may have helped if I asked, but the nephews are chomping at the bit to get some pocket money!
@@digdrivediy 👍👍
Just one thought about the Dyna SC-16, maybe they should opt for a circular saw rather than the chain saw, seems to me that the chain has a lot more issues than it should. It was a good idea using a tote to catch the sawdust, seems it is easier to clean up. Maybe they should incorporate that idea in the next model. Could be some royalties in it for you if they do.
The saw works pretty good though for the amount of wood it cuts.
As a long time supporter of this channel I have to say i can’t wait to see the F750 get her much deserved attention she needs to be top tier again! As always I love what you’re doing with the channel Neil ! Thanks to your amazing family for supporting your channel!
That gives me great satisfaction knowing that you're looking forward to it. I can't wait to get it done.
@@digdrivediy on a personal note I’m going to be looking at 1998 John Deere 425 and 345 this weekend! I love the 425’s and 445’s and 455’s there is so many of them that I just absolutely love. I also can’t wait to see more grader work done with your beautiful 318!
The original Dyna video was actually the first video I watched on this channel! Now I watch regularly, great work Neil!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video, I love watching this type of machines for some reason… oh, maybe it was from when I grew up making wood by hand… my dad heated his house and shop with wood only…
Great video I have had the bar oil cap pop off many times myself. My son all of 1 1/2 years old loves watching your videos with me especially firewood videos already influencing the next generation of firewood men
I love hearing about the kids that watch!
I live in Australia in a unit, but I love your video it reminds me of my grandfather. Thank you very much. God bless you 🙏
Hi Mr noch(dad)I had a hip replacement 6years ago it only gets better, so take it easy. And get well soon. Christine from the uk 🎉❤
So good to hear from someone who has had the same procedure. He has worked hard at his exorcizes to get back to 100%. He's almost there. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement ❤
I use the same bar oil you do although in the winter time it is sick. If you don’t let it get real low keep filling it. The heat from the saw will thin it out just fine.
Another great ddd video, I don't have the need but love watching you do hard work
I appreciate that!
Glad to hear your dad is back on his feet. One thing I’ve noticed is no one on your channel drives a GM truck, all fords. I think you might need to build the girls a simple Zamboni for the 318.
That's a good observation. They are all Fords.
Love the idea of a 318 Zamboni!
Growing up in central Michigan, I know well what it means to process a lot of trees into firewood without the benefit of the advanced technology you showcased in this video. Again and again, you take the most mundane tasks and turn them into events that are utterly fascinating to watch. It's so cool to see family pitching in to help out with the big jobs. Love watching your content, Neil. Thanks for all you do to remind us all what it means to be part of a family that pitches in to help one another.
Thanks so much 👍🏻
We call it punky in the east too. Great video.
That DYNA wood spatter is really good if you have good set up for it 👍🏼
IBC totes on galvanized pallets? They are not very expensive and you can store in different locations with metal roofing on top in the back, move them to the boiler when you need them.
Geat time. Thanks sharing. Happy that they fixed the issues that the processor got earlier. From Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 ❄️❄️👋🏼
Good to see Mr. Koch is on the mend. That's nice Dyna saw your previous video and made improvements to the version for you to try out. Shows they're a good company whom pays attention to content producers. Might be on to something with using those plastic containers for catching the sawdust. Almost have to think that a dryer pipe, HVAC boot, and some bolts could reduce the dust mess.
