Hi Joe, those fire wood poles are as good as the get. Cold hear in northern New York also, around 0 this morning. You have your work "cut" out for you this year.
Great Video as always Joe. Log Hauler Jesse is Awesome. What a Load of Logs that he delivered to your Woodyard. Can't wait to see you process the Logs Especially the Beech Logs. Yes Joe you and Jesse are a Team and you are Lucky to have Found him. Keep up your Great Video's my Friend. It's Very COLD HERE ALSO. Warming up this Week coming up. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
I've bought a few loads of logs recently and there has been quite a bit of beech on them. One driver told he there is something killing the beech trees so you might start seeing more and more of it. It's great wood. Smells a lot like maple, splits easy, not stringy at all and has one of the highest BTU ratings of all of the different species. Dave in Ontario, Canada
Happy delivery day! Nice to see Jesse and his truck in full operation again. Elaine from Canada here, great weather .. no mosquitoes! Stay warm, cheers.
At 12 degrees there should be visible vapor appearing while exhaling & talking, there is none. Have noticed this on other channels as well. I googled with no results. ?????
Hummmm...I didn't know there was that much value in beech as firewood. Our forestry guy called them "weed trees" and said he wouldn't use the words "decimate them", but culling them would be beneficial to our wood lot. Nice load👍
i have heard that too but i never looked at beech as that. I think they look awesome. This area is known as the beech-maple belt. Tough wood to split though...not stringy, just tough
When I was doing firewood I had 2 loggers bring wood in who had there own knuckleboom loader on there trucks and 1 who had a cable hoist on his single axle truck so I had 3 loggers total. They would bring even the ones that had metal in them and I take a metal detector to find the metal. I plan on getting back into firewood and have a track hoe I can unload with until I can find me a knuckeboom loader. Have a great day be safe
Hello Mr. Joe just when I was going to ask you how you get those log loads😂😂 …. Then you answered! Those were some beautiful logs. Hope your luck continues. Take care TOA.
It’s good to see log hauler Jesse up and rolling . I grow up around logging and riding with my dad in the log truck . I think there’s no happy medium it’s either hot and dusty or bone chilling cold or wet and muddy . Thanks for video joe .
I like that you are ready for change. You need to stop stacking your wood and put it in piles like Chris "in the wood yard" he said it's a waste of time stacking the wood, it dries just fine in pile he says.😊
Thanks for subbing BIB. The logs I buy are usually too small to take the the mill. This is all part of my business model as I can make firewood cheaper than what I can buy it for but I still buy firewood believe it or not. It is just a good decision to have these relationships and a second source for my product. It cuts into my margin but still something I find useful to growing my customer base
haha. You sound like my old creative writing prof. I should have quoted Shakespeare... "What freezings I have felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere! LOL
Where Jesse first pulled up you can stack logs up against wall on inside from the outside too and if needs right on the outside as well on both sides of the gate.
I am rebelling against accounting so I'm not able to give you the amortization/depreciation schedule for the machines in each cord. At a high level a truck like this costs anywhere between $650--$800. Prob need about 1 gallon of diesel to turn into firewood, and $20 to stack. I get about 6 cords of firewood from each truck.
Good Morning Joe: Great plan for a second row of logs. Last Fall I couldn’t get logs for a few months. I was very blessed to have a lot of logs in the Woodyard to make up that shortfall. It’s great to see Jessie back up and running.
I think part of the secret to keeping a good log supplier is taking logs when the supplier has them, not just when you need them or can afford them, once the relationship has developed then you can be a little more specific. Nice of Jesse to re arrange your logs, I mean, he didn’t ‘have to’ do that, great guy! You have a good business partner there Joe.
I have a curious question would you be in the fire wood business if you didn't have RUclips channel and have a partnership with Japa firewood processor ?
Yes I would. I am a firewood business first and it predates my YT channel. Not sure if you were aware but I paid for my Japa. I don't have a partnership with Japa or Metsamachines. They do like me bc of my vids however!

I saw all these logs advertised and I thought about getting a load or 2. But I still have a ton of oak to go through from the tree service. Looks like your yard is going to be stocked!

Thats one good looking load of firewood poles! I bet those took a while for Jesse to load! Good decision in moving your log piles closer to your processor. 👍🏼 Facebook comment...."you got 2 logs that were crooked, you should have refused the whole load!" 😂😂😂
Jessie needs to run a coil of his hydraulic return line under that seat of his. That'll warm him up. I think for the few beech or special logs that you get it might be worth it to just have Jessie throw them off to the side. After he is gone you could cut them to 13' long ( so they end up right size for your splits) then use you tractor to pile them in an unused corner out of the way until you are ready to process them? This is what I do with logs I intend to mill. I do the same thing with crooked logs, I set them aside and hand cut them instead of making a mess on a nice pile of straight logs. This spring I'm planning to redo my whole wood yard to make it more efficient to stack logs and load the processor.
That’s a nice load of poles. At least the sun is shining. Few people outside our region realize how little sunlight we get from November through march. Stay warm Joe.
Joe you got a heck of of friend there Jesse heck of a guy nice start for the 2024 season normal give them a area and just drop and go oh yeah hold there hand out to get paid first any one else would charge you a big hourly rate for that
So good to see LHJ in the woodyard again showing off his amazing skills! I'm not sure what they will be but I'm sure many more changes to come for OWB!!
Goodmorning Joe, my friend wants to get an electric woid splitter and I was telling about the one you got started with and would like to do some research on it. But my problem is I can't remember the name of it. Would you care to drop the name of it for me, I would appreciate it very much. Video was mist enjoyable as always and have a good week ahead.
Hi Mike. It is the super splitter. www.supersplit.com/ There is an amish company in ohio that makes a similar one called the Flack Hill. Excellent machine but they don't have a web site or a phone. You have to go see them. They are around Wooster. Most the amish my way run them. You could buy it and take it home with you that day
I am starting to see why Jesse's truck is worn out. He has moved these same logs so many times now that he has given them each individual names!😂 Awesome looking load of wood today and hopefully they just keep rolling in! I have never cut a Beech tree. I do have 3 on my property that are 30-36" inches in diameter but I am also beginning to think the may out live me! They are sure hardy trees and live a long time! I can't wait to tune in next week and hear all about the rain and mud!😃
NEO, thru michigan, wisc, and minn is referred to the beech-maple belt. Those two trees dominated the canopy until we cut them all down. Very interesting read if you ever have time to google. Love the beech, good looking tree.
Log day is near good as Christmas. Nice looking stuff there. I've got years worth of pics of loads and logs I have worked up. Kind of fun to look back on it all on every now and again. 🔥
@@ohiowoodburner A good friend of mine owned the wood beaver and he has since moved on to a Rapido Loco. In my area the majority of the wood that I get is 20"+ so I am reluctant to invest in a processor. If I could dial in a steady source for 16"- I'd go the Japa route with the perfect split.

If you don't mind telling me, how much on average are you paying for a load of logs?

Great to see jessie again nice looking logs great video joe stay warm
Thanks Bob. Will do buddy
Joe was it cold when you filmed that? 😂😂😂
Hey Jesse, hope you're charging Joe good for all the extra work he has ya do. At least hand him the bill from repairs. 😅😅
haha... he is well compensated
Hello Mr. Joe just when I was going to ask you how you get those log loads😂😂 …. Then you answered! Those were some beautiful logs. Hope your luck continues. Take care TOA.
thanks for watching todd. stay warm buddy
I see room for 3 rows of logs.. It's expensive to stock the yard, buy once your there its alot easier to maintain it... yards looking good Joe..
The prob with keeping logs too long is the maple will lose its bark in sheets and becomes a big pain. Still, i will take them when i can!
Great start to 2024…new logs, new layout, and Jesse’s back! 👍👍
Yes! Thanks RG
jesse the only one that brings you wood? can he get you all the wood you need?

Change that is going to make a big difference in amount of logs you have ready to process.

Happy to see you got the cold weather too 😂🥶
Looks like processor CANDY! 😎
These logs are awesome Bob!
It is obvious that Jessie is a log hauler so is it necessary to keep calling him Log Hauler Jessie?
that's his youtube name. Not sure what the big deal is
Absolutely a beautiful load of logs. Loads like that will spoil a person fast.
Indeed it does Jason!
Nice straight poles.
That dude does a good job. How much did you pay for that load of logs? Thanks.
prices are all over the place this year.
How much does it cost for a truck full of logs and how much can you turn a truck full of logs into as firewood?

Do happy Jesse is up and running. 2024 is the beginning of Joe not running out of logs!
fingers crossed zekester!
Think you better quit procrastinating on the oak and get it split and drying. It takes the better part of a year to dry
My benefit is the restaurants that take it don't demand dry. btw I'm not procrastinating
Morning Joe 😎, it’s all trial by error till you get it the way you want, then after that you might change it up again lol 👍

Nice load there perfect size for the processor what’s a load cost you for a load like that ?
prices are all over the place these days Joe
