You know Marty loves that log puller - he painted it! I think the reason a lot of people love your channel is your resourcefulness, the origin of that word being "resource." If more of us knew how to do more with less, we citizens of this planet would be in much better shape. Living in Southern California and participating in the high level of consumption and the low level of resourcefulness, makes me sad that most of us are going in the wrong direction.
It's not even funny anymore, how the ones really wanting us all to consume less, Californian influencers & lobbyists, teens with no life experience etc, and with ppl in Hollywood just influences us all by default backing them up, are the ones consuming the most. Their trainyards are literal dumps, absolute dumps. They aren't even schooled properly, they ran away as teens before finishing schooling or became complacent, think Asia and Scandinavia are countries on their own, mistake Sweden for Norway, etc. I point that out then they act as if it's no biggie at all, until I knowingly mistake Texas for California (the two states couldn't be any different), result never fails: They go absolutely berserk.
Why am I, from almost the opposite side of the globe following this channel? Because I like what you do and admire your spirit Marty! Keep up the good work!
Marty, what you do & achieve is truly inspiring & to capture it all on camera, making me feel I’m actually there every step of the way is nothing short of awesome. Great intro & altro too 👍🏽. Your doggie is great, not afraid to get its paws dirty. Out of all the channel’s I subscribe to yours is my favourite by far. God bless you, your family & your pets 🙏😁.
Have been wondering exactly where your place was for a while bro, that last shot over the hill gave it away! Found it on the map! Don't worry I'm not going to come stalking you. Love your work man. Peace.
FYI, 235mm x 19mm x 2400mm of NZ pine dressed costs AUD$55 at Bunnings in Melbourne. I get very envious when I watch you saw your own timber. You dropped that tree really nice too. 👍
I was soo soo confused by the mill at the end, until you shown the angle where I could clearly see the 2nd blade... Honestly thought I was going crazy trying to work out how that thing was cutting.
Even a relatively simple project like this one is interesting and informative, Marty. I have to say that between your child prodigy assistant and the most doggedly inquisitive pooch as any I can remember, your future seems pretty bright😊
Can't say how excited I was when I saw you added the millwork coda. Log Arch was a great watch, the milling at the end, along with the drone overflight to finish, was pure icing. Please tell your pup he's a good dog, from Canada.
Nice log arch!:) I grew up, and survived split rim wheels. About two years ago I converted my IH flatbed to 22.5" Dayton wheels. I broke down the 20" splits for scrap and found one of them was 60% rusted completely through under the boot. Scary! Those were inflated to 100 psi. A family friend nearly lost a leg to a split rim . Thanks for the great videos!😊
Nice Marty. So many cool things about this episode; your little white pup, the long rust removing process and painting, condensed into a couple minutes, the beautiful completed restoration, the battery powered chain saw, the different camera angles to capture the tree drop, the milling, the potato bug, drone shots...and the bit of a scrape on your hand,,ouch. Thanks.
Your pup acts and looks just like my Teddy did 40 years ago. His favorite dog words were "Hey dad, what are you doing, and can I help?" Always had his snoot right in the way. It's a good thing they don't have hands. Thanks for the video!
I'm a uk subscriber love everything you do from acquiring these little gems to getting them either up and running or simply bit of grease and dab of paint to use learnt alot from you your a legend keep em coming
That has to be without doubt one of the best drone shots I have ever seen. I've always thought New Zealand was a beautiful place but that shot, well if your tourist board ever needed another photo then there would be none better. 👍 Like Curtis over on CEE from Australia, you need to make your dog the safety officer or works inspector. 😂🤣😂
It just occurred to me that the way the tires are welded on had been done on purpose. This way the arch is centering itself in the track, it's load transfer across the axles might be better and manouverability, particularly in tight turns, might be better than with traditional mounting.
I remember seeing log arches being used in northern Wisconsin when I was young, then later in Austria and Bavaria. I'm glad to see that tractor get a wider stance. It did look a bit precarious before. Your snow-white pup is so wonderfully curious and happy looking. Superior job of felling that tree. You got a lot of amazing lumber out of it, too. All-in-all a very informative and entertaining video. Thanks very much.
Nice restoration! I like that lifting roller carriage - uses the tractors power to lift. I’ve seen them where the tongue is used as a lever to lift, and winches, but that looks more efficient than the others. Cool.
In this disposable world we live in, it's nice to see someone take the time to fix something and return it to it's former glory and put it back to work. Nice job.
I'm off work, and 3 months into recuperating after Rotator cuff surgery. 4 weeks ago I found this channel of yours. Watching your videos each day has been so entertaining, so informative, so inspiring, and at times funny! Your videos have become part of my daily routine while being stuck at home. I've watched every video from your first, to this one. Now that I'm at your last video, I went to check out Rambros page, but it won't load. Is this channel still up & running? Love your videos, Marty, they are so enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
Since this isn't for the roads, drill a hole in the hub for a grease zerk. If you pump it up from the middle, both bearings will have grease and it will outlast you. 16:48 i'm 99.9% sure the caster and camber are on purpose. That arch tracks beautifully. Whomever made this knew what they were doing. I suspect that the wheels should remain this style for as long as possible, the flat surface allows them to dig in a little.
Good observation. The negative camber helps distribute the load to the ground by reducing the angular torque on the axles. The sliding hook is brilliant and I'm only halfway through the video and we don't see the sliding action yet. Looks like it was edited out to save time.
No doubt you are correct. With the alignment of these wheels, it should track in a straight line and if there is a little tire scrub, who cares? 99% of the time it'll be run on dirt where tire wear is of less concern.
@@briansilver9652 yeah the first log he hooked up the chain might have been too short. Once you pull out then back up and re hook it it should work quite well. i also got to thinking that if you made another trailer with 4 wheels spaced out a bit and made some sort of pin connection to the other trailer (which should have a pintel hitch I think) you could back up to a log pull it out a bit and then back up more and then slide back the rear trailer and using 2 log clamps you can then hook both ends and drive forward which should lift the log off the ground. Yet how do you drop the log. Oh remote control electric breaks on the rear trailer. When you back up that trailer does not move which pushes the log backwards. Though at this point you just need a log trailer. Though for someone who need to transport them a fair distance it would work quite well. We used to haul out firewood and lumber wood from the river bottom and we used a side dump truck and large flat beds. The owner of the land used his tractor to load up the trailer when ever he had time. We would then pull out the logs cut to size and then load the trailer and side dump truck for the 5 or so miles home. Where I bought my new house we do not have a wood stove and really no place that it would work to heat the house. Yet the firewood is all around us everwhere and there is lots of it. I have cut down and logged out a lot of the dead and live trees on my land as most of them are random trees that grew from mis managed owners. We are cleaning it all up to one day build a new place. Which I want to run one of those indoor wood furnaces as it will be a duplex style house, Pretty much having 2 full size apartments and a storage area between the two. This way we can have our live in cook/maid/driver not have to live in our very large house.
Nice to see the pup helping out ! Yes I agree split ring rims are not the safest bit of kit , I grew up in Western Canada on a farm in the late 60’s they were popular on farm trucks and every year there were injuries we heard about! The arch looks good and will be a big hand at skidding logs to the mill!
That was a very nice little film, especially the way you bracketed it with the drone shots. All the camera angles were very interesting, putting us right in the action - especially in the middle of the sawmill. Yikes! 👍🇦🇺
Hey Marty, man it sure would be nice to have a video of all your special equiptment you´ve coliected over the years ! Been watching you for years and enjoy every one of them ,Thanks
Absolutely brilliant camera work, and what a Superb bit of simple kit, how much easier getting those logs to the mill….cheers Marty, great content as ever…..👍🇮🇲💪
You will need to paint the trolley hook Safety Orange. Moving parts on machinery need this. Otherwise you won’t see it coming. 😁 I like the design. I’ve been wanting to build one and it would be nice not to use a winch. I think I will build one similar. 😊
12:42 When you put the tires back on, you finished it by hand. Why is that? Is the electric or pneumatic not strong enough? Also, lovely milling footage. Very satisfying. Let us know if your home cut wood gets those nasty splits.
Hey Marty 🤙🏼 I love these videos of you doing restorations of your new found toys, I have a welding co and my family scratches their heads when they see me watching your videos and ask “why is it that you sit here and watch exactly what you do all day?” It’s because I love watching you and having the same interests, THANKS for your work in making these videos and taking the time to edit them and posting them on your channel. Also REALLY LOVE seeing your helper ( the bull terrier) growing and becoming your job site inspector 🤣🤣🤙🏼❤️THANKS AGAIN!!
Awesome Marty lovely pruned butt clears coming out of that tree ,all the gear you buy serves a purpose for you ,that mill is bloody great as well , cheers ,shaneo ,Nelson ,🍺👍
The Log Arch is a clever and useful device. I love the way you simply take things apart, get rid of the rust, straighten, fix, and re-grease as needed, then paint it to look new. I think you put several hundred dollars of labor and materials into it and should reap the benefits every time you haul a log. Just don't let The Borrowers get ahold of it...
Great buy for $100-and I love your 4-legged mascot; seems eager to learn. :) Question: what did you mean at 11:40 "it's got the best *screw up* out of all my tractors?" That's what it sounded like in the video and the closed caption said the same. Thanks for the new video. God bless.
It seems like he is saying "best tread out of all my tractors" but gravel noises do make it sound like "screw-up". And i'm also impressed that this arch was only $100. Around here it would be twice as rusty and closer to $500 lol
@@AgentWest // Hmm; I listened to it again and whatever the term is, it seems to start with an "S" Maybe we'll get an answer from Marty-thanks; have a good day.
Marty low key flexing his wide set of skills is why I love this channel. Drone shots, restorations, precision tree felling and logging. Is there anything he can't do!?
Looking good Marty now u got u some fire starter take them shavings and soak them in diesel fuel and once they soaked for awhile scoop some out in ur fire place
Hello Marty, thank you for the video. I think you need to line those tires up because if you watch it while it's working you can see the tractor is working harder because the wheels are trying to go make the arch killing several directions at once and while the tractor is not struggling I think it would be happier if the wheels both went in the same direction. As always I enjoy your videos I look forward to the next one and thank you for just doing what you do! Best regards Bob from Virginia USA Ps, I love your Sawmill! The chaindrive works like a charm!
Loved how you used a paper paint guard when applying primer to the inside of the rim, preventing primer from getting on the inside facing part of the tire, and then went "Ah. Screw it." on the outside 😂 This project is such a cool piece of kit
I must say Marty that I’m extremely envious of your low stress lifestyle. A beautiful day, a great dog and no one telling you what to do. Do you need an apprentice. 👍😉
I really enjoyed this video. The paint job done by you made that look brand new. I always enjoy your videos because you show let your viewers see before and after. Thank you for sharing. See you next time.
Nice score! A little grinding, a little paint, a little grease and you've saved a ton of work, gotten better lumber and increased your productivity at your mill! Damn well done.
Nice indeed to get an arch. Haven't seen one with a moving hook but as soon as I saw it, said "Oh that's a right fine idea for sure." The ones I've seen have used a pulley system to lift and a separate chain for the drag portion. A few 'advanced' ones used again a pulley with a chocker or log tongs on a long winch cable to get a log that was out of reach of the tractor and pull it over to the arch for lift and tote. Those type were more often found in the Pacific northwest for use with cable tractors and dozers. Most had solid wheels, few used tracks for softer ground. Large low pressure aviation/agriculture tires were common in the latter days of commercial log arch use. Thinking of wheels, saw the ones on the arch are split ring. While I've no doubt that you know your way around them. Never hurts to not get in a rush when servicing those, nothing will ruin a day faster than a locking split ring not being seated properly. Except maybe a 5° two piece rim, those are scary. Finally, dealing with bark, I'd look into a peeling spud to strip off bark from a log. If you've never heard of a peeling spud, it's basically a curved chisel with a long handle for leverage and to keep from needing to lean over. Work it under a bark edge and just peel the bark right off from the wood by staying in the thin strip of pithy stuff just under the bark with the spud tip.
@@MartyT Cool beans indeed, I used to be surprised when I'd mention a spud and folks would look at me like I'd suddenly grown a second head. Others just laughed and insisted I made it up. I'm now more delighted to mention one and the person I'm talking to knows just what I'm talking about. Also that's one gnarly saw mill, going to have to see the video on that beasty. Just has a steam/diesel punk vibe about it that's just every bit "I can't not look at it and not see something neat."

Good content made even better with Rosie,she sure is a gorgeous EBT
Loved how you used a paper paint guard when applying primer to the inside of the rim, preventing primer from getting on the inside facing part of the tire, and then went "Ah. Screw it." on the outside 😂 This project is such a cool piece of kit
Great Video Marty, I'm always amazed with what you achieve with very little, thanks for sharing
Good Morning. Great video! what a Awesome find. love watching your videos.
Could almost smell the pine when your were milling the boards at the end of the video :)
I love how magical a wire wheel on an angle grinder is. Makes everything brand new!
Per usual, gold from the legend. The paint job was a little off brand. The petrol bath is classic
Another blockbuster video by Marty and the dog is the star of the show.
Just ot home from work,
Coldie in hand & Marty T on the box.
Life couldn't be better !
I must say Marty that I’m extremely envious of your low stress lifestyle. A beautiful day, a great dog and no one telling you what to do. Do you need an apprentice. 👍😉
Perfect night for a Marty T video!! I’m always excited to see what you are going to be doing, love the content and hope you’re doing well!
The pull forward roller is a quite good idea.
I really enjoyed this video. The paint job done by you made that look brand new. I always enjoy your videos because you show let your viewers see before and after. Thank you for sharing. See you next time.
Cracking ending shot with the drone there mate. Love it.
Nice score! A little grinding, a little paint, a little grease and you've saved a ton of work, gotten better lumber and increased your productivity at your mill! Damn well done.
nice job on the cameras! thanks for letting us watch
Got to love that opening Land of the long white cloud shot
Nice indeed to get an arch. Haven't seen one with a moving hook but as soon as I saw it, said "Oh that's a right fine idea for sure."
The ones I've seen have used a pulley system to lift and a separate chain for the drag portion. A few 'advanced' ones used again a pulley with a chocker or log tongs on a long winch cable to get a log that was out of reach of the tractor and pull it over to the arch for lift and tote. Those type were more often found in the Pacific northwest for use with cable tractors and dozers. Most had solid wheels, few used tracks for softer ground. Large low pressure aviation/agriculture tires were common in the latter days of commercial log arch use.
Thinking of wheels, saw the ones on the arch are split ring. While I've no doubt that you know your way around them. Never hurts to not get in a rush when servicing those, nothing will ruin a day faster than a locking split ring not being seated properly. Except maybe a 5° two piece rim, those are scary.
Finally, dealing with bark, I'd look into a peeling spud to strip off bark from a log. If you've never heard of a peeling spud, it's basically a curved chisel with a long handle for leverage and to keep from needing to lean over. Work it under a bark edge and just peel the bark right off from the wood by staying in the thin strip of pithy stuff just under the bark with the spud tip.
Yes I do have a spud, but I prefer to keep the dirty side down when possible, saves time striping bark
@@MartyT Cool beans indeed, I used to be surprised when I'd mention a spud and folks would look at me like I'd suddenly grown a second head. Others just laughed and insisted I made it up. I'm now more delighted to mention one and the person I'm talking to knows just what I'm talking about.
Also that's one gnarly saw mill, going to have to see the video on that beasty. Just has a steam/diesel punk vibe about it that's just every bit "I can't not look at it and not see something neat."
Seems like a very handy tool. The drone footage from the top of your world is absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Excellent Marty, great way to end a Friday 👍🏻👍🏻 cheers mate
Great video as usual 🎉. 😊
