Just keep doing what you are doing, my friend. I learn something new with each video. I'm too old to be taking up a new and physically demanding career, but I still enjoy learning about the mules and the logging, and I love seeing you work with your kids.
Thank you ma’am for the encouraging words, and I’ll do my best. I’m just glad you enjoy being here. Even if someone truly isn’t into logging, chainsaws, or mules..I just want to create a place people can come and relax. And just enjoy themselves. I hope to create that anyway. Thank you for being so faithful and also taking time to watch and comment as always. Take care my friend and do come again, please!
@@jackgreen412thank you sir! I’m glad ya enjoy it. That makes it worth doing. Thank you for taking time to always watch and comment: I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
Thx brother! I sure appreciate the blessings and also the kind words. Thx for watching and commenting too. Take care my friend and do come again, please!
As always brother, another great video. You have shown us the whole operation from selection of timber, cutting, moving and staging or the timber to loading, transport and unloading of the timber. A lot sure is involved and I really appreciate watching and learning how it’s all done. Keep the videos the same! God bless brother!
Thanks brother! It means a lot and I’m glad you enjoy and appreciate them. Truly! Thx for taking time to watch and comment as always. Take care my friend, and do come again!
Beautiful piece of work, you handle the loader as if you own it. The mill owner must trust you with machinery, to me it says you are an honest and thrusty person because that wouldn't be cheap to repair if a situation were to occur, thank you for sharing.
Thank you, sir! And yes, I do try to live up to that reputation. Thank you for the kind words and for taking time to watch and comment. Take care my friend do come again, please
Sure reminds me of my younger days unloading and scaling logs at daddy’s hardwood mill in Guin, AL. It would be so much quicker if you could trip your standards while loader is holding the load. But with that fork carriage on that loader, it’s not possible. Good video and thanks again for jostling my memories of my sawmill working days from years gone by. CS White Opelika, AL
I tell you, one quick way to do it… Is to trip the standards and let the logs fall off and use the loader to shove them off. Then sort them afterwards. That will work too. They had a pretty decent fork carriage on this loader, I’m not sure what happened to it. Maybe it got damaged somehow. But it would be nice if they could build it up a little more anyway. Thank you sir for taking the time to watch and comment! And thank you for the kind words. I sure appreciate it. And I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Take care of yourself and do come again, please.
I recall that if a logger’s truck had odd-ball sized bunks or standards would not trip, it was always hazardous to lift logs over the top. Really dangerous, esp when sap was rising and logs were extra slick. Very easy to lose a log and tear up the cab of the truck or endanger anyone near by. Keep up the videos and your good work. I always enjoy them! CS White Opelika, AL
@@stewartwhite3165in any case you’ve gotta go over the top with no matter the size. Some bunks are just far enough part the headache rack will fit thru and some won’t. Most bunks are 7’ and loaders will fit but you still gotta lift logs over the top to clear. Mine are 6’ so just barely won’t go. It makes things a little trickier, but not impossible. Just have to take your time. And yessir on the sap. It makes em slick, especially poplar. You just have to be extra careful and take your time. Thx again for watching
Thank you sir, and I’m glad ya enjoyed it! That makes it worth doing. Thx for taking the time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
I haven't seen a video yet that I haven't liked. I do like the different angles. They trust you because your faith shows in everything you do. I hope your family has a great 4th of July. Prayers for you and your family. God bless
Thank you sir!! I hope I always give that impression and live up to it. Thank you for the kind words and we had a great fourth. Been taking a little time off and spending with family. Take care my friend and do come again, please
Yessir we had a good one, and thank you! Thanks for the kind words and also for watching! I surely appreciate it. Take care my friend and do come again!
I think so too. It’s a process for sure. Thank you for appreciating it. And thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Hey Billy! Thx buddy..and thx for taking time to watch and comment. Hope you are doing good. Take care my friend and do come again. Holler if ya need me.
On the bigger logs can the mill cut more than 1 cross tie or only the center cut and the rest in pallet lumber.? i like the ride along angel from your camera..always enjoy your videos and the way you explain how and why you do things in a certain way..
Hey buddy! So, on the bigger logs…now days you can only cut the heart wood for ties. The pith must be in the tie. The FRA mandated this some years back. Which hurt us, because use to you could mill as many ties out of a log that you could get. But now, it’s a one for one deal. So yessir you’ve got the right idea on the bigger logs. You get a tie and then the rest into pallet. And that’s why they’ll dock you on the larger “mix” type wood tie logs. Mix wood is for example: beech, hickory, gum, etc. Oak is a little different because there is still a grade market for oak right now. So that helps. My guy basically splits my loads into either ties and or pallet wood. Pay is based on what it makes vs the type of wood it is. Everyone seems to do it a little different. But the general idea is the same. Thx for question my friend and I hope I explained it well enough for you. Thank you for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Oh goodness! I understand that. And yessir, we had a good one. Hope you all did too. Thanks for the kind words and for watching my friend as always. Take care and do come again, please
It was rough for sure, and I’m sorry. Maybe next time I’ll hard mount the camera to the loader. That might help. Anyway, thanks for taking time to watch my friend as always. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please!
I have a legit question, why don't you drop the side bunks, like you were going to roll them off, and let the logs roll off and then scoop them up with the loader! always enjoy your videos!
I have done that. It works ok. You have to move the truck once the first batch come off. Then get the second batch off with the loader. Time wise, it’s a little faster I’d say. You just don’t have to do all the getting up and down and whatnot. And you have to move the truck to scoop the logs up with the loader or you risk punching the tires with the forks. But yessir, it works good doing it that way. I’ve did both ways. And really don’t prefer one to the other to be honest. Thanks for the question and thx for taking time to watch and always. I appreciate it my friend and the kind words. Take care and do come again, please.
Oh yessir, my sawmill man takes good care of me and I try to do the same! Thanks for taking time the to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care my friend, and do come again..please!
