As always, a great informative video especially for us who don’t cut timber as a profession but interested in the work. Also, thank you for putting up the Word of our Lord because we need that reminder everyday. Thank you my friend!
Yes, sir, you are welcome! And thank you for the kind words and also for taking time to watch and comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. Take care and do come again, please
I've never done this type of work. Never drove any form of draft animal, but I love seeing the mechanics of it. Thanks Zach for your videos that looks more difficult than walking through the woods with your mules.
I’m really glad to hear that and that you enjoy it. That’s the exact thing I’m trying to create. I want a place where everyone can come and hangout. And enjoy themselves. Even if they don’t know or even care about draft animals. I’m just glad to hear you enjoy it my friend. Thank you! It means a lot. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment: take care and do come again!
Thanks Zach for the video and commentary to explain what you are doing. It is interesting and your Christian witness is appreciated. Blessings.
Yes, sir buddy! Glad to do it and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Also thank you for the kind words and words of encouragement. Take care and do come again.
The Lord is good! Thanks for the lessons.
Yes, he is! You are most welcome. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again.

Another great video Zach. You do a great job explaining everything you do. Yes sir you have to watch cutting blow over trees. I've cut several through the years and you have to pay attention. Hope it's going good for you and thank you for the prayers and prayers back to you and your family. God Bless Y'all.
Thanks brother! Yes, blown down stuff is def dangerous. I’ve cut a bunch of it thru the years. But I still have a healthy respect for it. It’s almost like having a rattle snake by the tail lol. Thank you again for such kind words my friend. And thx again, for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and as always, do come again!
I used to veneer cut for ethan allen furniture when i was younger. I recently was walking my dogs past a "pomponoosic mills" wood furniture showroom all lit up at 10pm at night. I nearly fell over into a mulch bed when i saw how much it sell's for nowadays....mr.bubby that wood is lucrative! I'd do anything to be doing what your doing. I miss it.
Yes, sir, veneer. He is very expensive when you can find some. I rarely ever cut it. Most of my wood is number one common and above and lots of cross ties. Anyway, thank you for taking time to watch and comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Take care and do come again, please.
Zach Thank you for doing what you do. It brings back some memories good and not so good for me. In high school I cut pulpwood for spending money during Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Hauled hay during summer.
I understand my friend! I’ve been in the pulpwood business a little myself… It is definitely hard work. Hard hard work! Thank you for such kind words and also for taking time to watch and comment on our video. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Take care and do come again, please
It’s amazing how when you cut through the log how the ground moved
Yes ma’am for sure! Thank you for all the kind words and also for taking time to watch and comment as always. I surely appreciate you and all you do for us. Thank you kindly take care and come again.
I'm always glad to know new things, even if I'm too old to do some of what you are doing.
Well, I’m glad ya could get something from it and at least enjoy watching. Thank you ma’am! And thank you always for taking time to watch and comment. I enjoy hearing from all of you guys and gals. Thank you kindly! Take care and do come again, please
Another enjoyable video. May God continue to Bless you and your family.

The first tree looks like it got hit by lightning! Makes scene, 2end tree, I was watching for that stump pop back down in the hole, it is dangerous!! 3rd did!
Yessir could’ve been lightning at some point. The tree was bad hollow. And then wind snapped it. We’ve had some pretty bad weather right lately seems like. But yessir, them stumps going back in the holes is dangerous for sure. Gotta be careful. Thanks for watching my friend and commenting. I appreciate ya! Take care and as always come back when ya can. Thx
Good Job.
Thank you so much! You are always encouraging… I really appreciate it and thank you so much for taking time to watch and comment. I truly appreciate it. Take care and again please
Things keep progressing like they are, might be everyone logging with mules.
The economy sure is getting tight even on us mule loggers! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I truly appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
Interesting video, of what I'm seeing you're most cutting hardwoods. In your area do you have spruce I know you have southern pine. The hardwood that had the stump up in the air, my spruce is about that size also, It's going to be late fall before I'll be going in, yesterday surgery was moved back another month so , its what it is, it will give me more time to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing
Sorry to hear about your surgery getting pushed out, but maybe there is a reason. When you do have surgery, I hope it all goes well my friend! I mainly just cut hardwood timber… We do have some southern pine in the area, but not a whole lot. We mainly make our living on hardwood timber. Thanks for the kind words, my friend and for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it, take care and come again anytime
I'm glad you worry about your safety. I sure do for you , since your working by yourself. Well, you really aren't by yourself. You have Jesus with you always. May God keep you from harm and bless you
Yessir that is right. I don’t take any chances. I do my best to make sure to stay straight while working. And yes, Jesus is always there and fact I’m sure he’s kept me out of a bind more times than not. I do make sure my wife has a gps location on me at all times tho and that I should check in by a certain time. When I don’t, she knows to come find me. Anyway, Thank you for the kind words my friend. Take care and so come again! Please
I got several acres of tree's, but I would love to cut that top up for firewood,I got plenty but hate to see it wasted, be good to give it to some old person or disabled or just plain working poor family.
I know what you mean. I hate to see it. Go to waste too. We do not have a firewood market anymore here. So it makes it hard to get rid of. I would give it away if someone would come and get it. But you can’t even talk anyone into that anymore Anyway, thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I truly appreciate it! Take care and do come again anytime
Good Stuff, merci.
Thank you and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again!
Looks like you are using a 20 inch blade; do you sometimes use a longer one? On Timber Titans at the Weather Channel I think I saw blades even double that length. They must be hard to wield.
I use 25” bar and chain on my Stihl 046’s and 28” bar on my Stihl 066. I just double cut when I need too. Most times I don’t have to. Longer bars are def heavier and harder to wield for sure. Weight takes it toll on a feller. Anyway, thank you sir for always taking time to watch and comment. Take care my friend! See ya next time..
Makes sense to me
Good deal…we think a lot alike from what I see. Thank you sir for taking time to watch and comment. Always good to hear from you. Take care my friend and do come again!
Just wondering Zach, how much equiliser do you alow ?
Dave
I’m not exactly sure what you are talking about??? Could you ask it a different way maybe. I’m not sure what equalizer is.
What i meant was if your cutting a log for 10' lumber, how much over 10' do you cut the log, so at the sawmill they can equalize it to exactly 10, we used to have to cut ,say a 10'
log 11' for a 10' board ! sorry if i'm not very clear on what i mean.
@@user-vn8bh8gt8toh okay, gotcha! So, yes we cut our 10’ logs 10’6”. Every length of log will have 6” of trim except for 9’ crossties. And they’re cut 9’ as square as we can get them. Thx for your question my friend
Will that stump reattach to the ground around it
No ma’am, I don’t think so… Especially after I cut the tree off of it. There will just be a big hole there from now on
Zach Odom is capable.
Thank you, that means a lot
