Thank you for bringing back those enjoyable childhood memories, who knows, if you guys start building skyscrapers out there in them farmlands that you inhabit, you'll bring back more childhood memories of times that I watched the machinery, with child like awe, that has never died in me. Well for a man that didn't have much to say, guess I had somewhat to say! THANK YOU, again, Thank You for all the videos you've shared. Mike Freeman Kentucky

Stumbled on this YT channel by accident, liked it so much I subscribed. Spent many a Sat/Sun with my grandfather out in his woodlot when I was a kid. We'd drag the big ones, hand-load the smaller ones, 5ft, onto a trailer and haul it out to the woodpile in the back field. Then he'd hook up the big leather drive belt to the tilt table saw rig and the side PTO wheel and we'd have that saw singing every weekend until the snow came for good. His tractor was a '39 F-12 Farmall I think it was. Thanks for the great video, love the sound of those motors.
Who doesn't love the sound of an old Super M! I've never met an old tractor or an old truck that I do not like. I especially like seeing the put to work. Pulling those logs out of the woods was a walk in the park for the old Super M, Really enjoyed the video.
It is great seeing them work together like a well oiled machine. My 83 year old grandfather takes my 8 year old son to the wood every Saturday to bring wood in with the tractor in my profile picture. Sorry for the loss of your dad.
My father passed last year and this bring up very fond memories working on the almond and walnut ranch in NorCal. I miss my ford 545 too. Great to see Snr. in every video.
Thanks squatch Sometimes I watch one of your videos in the early morning with my cup of tea... And sometimes after watching I feel like going out and starting an old wheel tractor and cutting firewood and loading the trailer , or starting up the old D2 and pushing some dirt around or maybe pushing a stump out. Reforesting my woodland with white pine and making cages, exclosures To protect the seedlings from the deer and the hares... Always projects.
This was a great video Squatch! It's was awesome to hear the back story of your father and grandfather's glory days hauling in wood. My 8 year old son said this is just like me and great grandpa do. My grandfather is 83 and lived and worked on the same property his entire life. He tells my son stories like that. How they used Clydesdale horses and wagons to haul the wood in. Thanks for the video Squatch. Cheers
Farmall H is so damn handy in the woods. I hauled a lot of firewood with one. We used an old manure spreader with the beaters removed. We'd cut and split right where the tree fell then haul it to the house in the spreader. The apron chain made unloading super easy. With the H at a dead slow idle could pitch it in and just keep up.
You have a great dad and a great legacy. I like how smooth your dad is on the Kobota. That truck frame skidded is definitely "old school". It reminds me of my own father-in-law and the contraptions he made to get the job done. Great video!
Enjoy these times of working with your dad. My father and I use to do the same as well, cut and skidded many a cord of wood with him. Unfortunately my father passed away 9 years ago and my mother passed last year. I still have very fond memories of working with both of them,I’ve been building memories with my now adult son as well. I still have and run my dads old saw as well, not my primary saw anymore but I still run it a few times a year, wow the memories a machine can bring back.
Excellent father and son video! If more kids and parents got along as well as you two do, the world would be a better place. In this time of uncertainty, it warms my cynic heart, it really does.
At the risk of maybe getting some flak, if fathers and sons worked together more perhaps we would have less lazy, entitled spoiled brats and more boys becoming men.
Thanks for posting this. I didn't have the best relationship with my dad growing up, but the only time we got along oddly enough it was either logging or getting firewood. Similar equipment- either a early styled JD B, a Massey Harris 44, Moline RTU, and later a Case DC with a trailer made from the back end of a '60 Chevy Apache 10. The frame is still out there in the woods at the home place. We never took any pictures! The camera was reserved for overexposed family pictures with half a finger over the lense, and dad never thought pics of the machinery were important.
In 76 my Dad bought our first woodstove - we cut down trees for months and split it up everyday for months thereafter - it's mighty interesting and entertaining to watch others cut firewood.
Hi Squatch! Love seeing you and your dad working together and playing with tractors. Must be autumn up there in Minnesota with the jackets and leaf litter. Please send some of that cool autumn air to Florida! Thanks for the video. 🇺🇲🚜👍
Looks familiar as I make a little firewood with an AC WD-45 pulling a tralier made from an old Ford 1/2 ton pickup. Love being in the woods this time of year. Thanks for all your effort setting up cameras for our benefit.
The work is endless and cyclical with the seasons. I have deep admiration for farmers. Looking at the breadth of things accomplished here just amazes me.
I love hearing the stories of yesteryear. My grandfather used to go on and on about him and his grandfather and I couldn't get enough. He had his grandfather's Alice Chalmers which now belongs to my mother, his daughter. I loved feeling that connection to a time that has come and gone. Thanks for the stories.
You could do a time lapse of cutting and not get too boring for most people I think. Its neat to see how you process your firewood. fairly similar to how we do it here. My dad built a rack that goes on the three point of our 2010 that we use once the wood is out on bunks. it will hold a little over a face chord of 18" pieces. If you lad it with green maple its all the tractor wants but you can go anywhere the ground is solid in the winter time. Wishing you good luck and dry gloves!
@@squatch253 I completely understand how that goes, Oh look a piece of equipment need/want is on craigslist for a bargain. I went from haying about 10 acers to 60 this year and picked up a hay wagon, elevator, a fertilizer spreader. Stuff adds up quick! And being fairly tech oriented I know that components and even pre-built computers prices are up right now from a couple years ago.👍
Oh my, I miss my days of firewood gathering when my Brother-in-law and I would take our chain saws in our woods too. I can well imagine Senior's days back then, somewhat similar to mine, I'd think. Thanks f0or this Senior and Son! :)
I like those three spoke steering wheels on the IH tractors, the same thing was fitted to many different vehicles, including Willis Jeeps and many other agricultural machines.
excellent video when I was growing up you used a 5 star Minneapolis Moline diesel tractor and a 2 wheel trailer with side boards to haul cut up firewood out of woods and then we thru the cut and split pieces on the 2 ton grain truck and hauled it to our firewood customers it was hard work but it paid the bills in the 1980s when a uptown job was nearly impossible to find for my dad in my area here
back in the early 70's we used an old Cat D2 to skid logs and we had a sled that we pulled behind the D2 would haul a cord and half of short pine pulp wood.
Man could you just imagine the woods just filled with tractors and trucks that aren’t “safe” and the sounds of 2 stroke McCullochs and Husky’s and Sthils filling the air cutting timber for firewood, what a time that would be to go back to. And I’d enjoy a firewood video just to see how you do yours and the process you go thru getting from log to bucked rounds to split and stacked for seasoning
Great video. Nice to do that stuff. My son and I do lots together. Saw you use a pickaroon, or maybe you call it a hookaroon. I made four of them. All different handle lengths. They work great. My shortest one I use to get the split wood down of the 8’ tall pile to get it to the stove. I see a John Deere in the air cleaner. Hehe. Super M looks great in the woods.
You cut firewood the way I do, 3 inches or bigger, split it in half and the tiny ones will get coals rolling in no time. I find it amazing how much wood can come out of one big tree like that.
I see you got a dusting of snow. Now I feel bad about our high of 72 today LOL! Be sure to tell Senior we would like to hear more stories from back in the day.
I have fond memories of making firewood with my dad when I was a little child, we used to use a manure spreader trailer to haul it which meant unloading by hand at home. I believe there is something to be said about working in the woods - I dont know if its the fact of being in nature, or just accomplishing something with your own hands, or maybe the feeling of providing "warmth" for the cold months.
Wonderful what a team, what sweet great memories you and senior rock no doubt top shelf YT productions but most of all you and senior make the show no doubt love you guys happy thanksgiving!
My uncle made à flat bed trailer out of a 1 ton 46 chevy. Striped it down to the frame. On the front axel he welder à pivot point and he ran a tow bar to the tie rod .pulled it with an old d2 caterpillar .it was like j1113 in that era . That old iron built America and did all the hard work.
Those getting firerwood stories much resemble my growing up with my grandpa. I have a few videos on my channel as I was older and helping grandpa have firewood in his older days. We used an Oliver, and Minneapolis Moline to get firewood pulling a pickup box trailer made from his parents first truck when they switched from horses and a buckwagon. We would stack wood just heaped onto that poor 1ton truck box until the axle was against the frame. The springs eventually gave out and we had to weld in support for the axle and frame. The frame started bowing over the axle from years of abuse.
That's for sure Squatch between logging fire wood plowdays and planting 15 acre gardens of taders and corn squash and pumpkins you know the works as well as further on tapping trees for sap firing the arch and boiling down sap for syrup,clearing orchards of under burden low hanging limbs and sometimes equipment maintaining and building and fabrication of race cars and such we had lots of extra stuff when I was younger even went ice fishing now and then
I've been watching this channel way too long. I'm starting to think like you. When you had the big log on the kubota forks, In my head I was shouting "don't just drop it on, pull the stakes and roll it". That trailer looks like it was built with the same thought that went into the D2 track press. Nice job 🙂
We used a 8N Ford and a VC Case to pull a trailer out off the woods when I was a kid !!! And when I was old enough to drive we also used a 1954 Ford mainline car with no body to haul fire wood poles out !!!! 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍🌎🌞
In my estimation you were really testing out the log trailer but I am glad that it held up. Have fun, be safe, and keep up the good work. I enjoyed this video.
Hey guys looks like a great farmal . Ya guys are having fun . Please be carefull guys ya know stuff happins . Lots of men before ya have been hurt on tractors frogen around in the woods . Be safe. Love wins.
Not mush for trees out my way so firewood is a rare sight around here but I remember my grandpa telling similar stories from his younger days in northern MN. If Sr. wants to get rid of some rough sawn oak for a fee, I have a small trailer deck build coming up on my restoration list that I'll be in the market for. 😁
I grew up with a H among several others. We went through a few of those axle clamps as well. I don't recall it being an issue with bigger Farmall's and IH's. Usually, the break would show signs of previously rusted cracks. And I don't believe we ever used tire chains on it either.
That was an awesome video telling the old stories. Great video! I love the firewood and outdoor prep videos. I’m sure they don’t get you nearly the watch minutes but selfishly, I enjoy them at least. Stay safe and warm.
Like seeing the old equipment working. My hobbies have changed again: went from tractors and heavy equipment fix and flip to same with travel trailers,then military rolling stock,then Jeeps and now on Harley's.All is fun but my heart rests with the Harley's. Just like looking at them ( but putting my butt on one that makes me hold on for dear life is still fun as heck lol).
Your trip down memory lane was great. That's when people had to use their ingenuity and muscle to get the job done. Today it's either computers or hydraulics. Not too much muscle or ingenuity. I don't remember seeing anything about Senior's saw mill. Perhaps we can see that in the future. Great video.
Those fellows earned their keep back in the day, be careful with that pretty tractor in the woods. Can’t believe your weather, in the Atlanta area today low of 50 high 80.
Different times indeed...most folk didn't have a lot, so when stuff had to get done, it was this is what we got, this is what we're using, come hell or high water we're gettin' it done!
Go easy on the load a concept my father never employed ! He built some rock walls around the property including a fireplace. By the time he finished he had a substantial pile of square wheels for that old Chevy.
Hey there! Been watching for a long time ...thought u subscibed...whoops ! Your videos are very interresting. Live seeing your dad out there with you on that restoration you did ...looks great ! Interresting vido...love the wood loading and hauling ..good times! See ya ! 👋
It is so nice to see you and Senior working together and recording it..I'm 71 and my dad passed away in 2003..miss working with him cutting wood and splitting..this brings back memories for me. I enjoy your channel for sure!!
They worked back when people decided what they thought was acceptable risk. Now everything is supposed to be risk free so there's no chance we hurt our little selves. Thanks for sharing!
Good to see the damaged Oak put to good use. Do you burn the firewood you are about to process this winter or will that be for next year. I like to let it dry at least a year. What sawmill does senior use to cut his lumber?
I don't know what to say. I'm 70 years old this month and I've never driven a tractor, a road grader or a bulldozer, but I find myself watching your videos?

Yes some jobs on the farm are well suited to a lightweight nimble tractor, you don't always need 120hp 4wd and air-con.

Firewood warms you twice: once when you cut it, once when you burn it. Nice video!
Add two times: splitting and stacking

What does Sr do with the boards he cuts? It’d be interesting to see a video of him cutting logs too
That big boy looks like it might be interesting inside.
I'm happy to see that your not too precious with the super m. Some would treat it like a princess and only be an antique tractor show pony.
Hi Squatch! Love seeing you and your dad working together and playing with tractors. Must be autumn up there in Minnesota with the jackets and leaf litter. Please send some of that cool autumn air to Florida! Thanks for the video. 🇺🇲🚜👍

I like the log trailer! I use a m101a2 military trailer myself. Brakes are nice to have in the mountains.
There is nothing like good family memory's and times... From generation to generation.
What fun...a cool day working in the woods, ha. Super video Toby - thanks for taking us along!
The work is endless and cyclical with the seasons. I have deep admiration for farmers. Looking at the breadth of things accomplished here just amazes me.
I don't care for em maybe small farmers not large multi millionaire ones...
Man great job Squatch and Senior! Love watching you guy’s do great work together! Great video! Bless you guy’s and be safe!🙏👌😎👍

I like those three spoke steering wheels on the IH tractors, the same thing was fitted to many different vehicles, including Willis Jeeps and many other agricultural machines.

Things have gotten a lot easier on the homestead since the Kubota showed up.

The little Fords were the worst woods tractor if going through brush. The wiring and the belly exhaust would get a beating.

Hey guys looks like a great farmal . Ya guys are having fun . Please be carefull guys ya know stuff happins . Lots of men before ya have been hurt on tractors frogen around in the woods . Be safe. Love wins.
Not mush for trees out my way so firewood is a rare sight around here but I remember my grandpa telling similar stories from his younger days in northern MN. If Sr. wants to get rid of some rough sawn oak for a fee, I have a small trailer deck build coming up on my restoration list that I'll be in the market for. 😁
I grew up with a H among several others. We went through a few of those axle clamps as well. I don't recall it being an issue with bigger Farmall's and IH's. Usually, the break would show signs of previously rusted cracks. And I don't believe we ever used tire chains on it either.
Seems there's never a dull moment on your farm.
Like the trailer gives me a idea My dad helps me get firewood he is 77. Definitely cherish the memories.
Pretty hard to beat a beautiful fall day in the woods bringing in firewood! 👍
That was an awesome video telling the old stories. Great video!
I love the firewood and outdoor prep videos. I’m sure they don’t get you nearly the watch minutes but selfishly, I enjoy them at least.
Stay safe and warm.
Like seeing the old equipment working. My hobbies have changed again: went from tractors and heavy equipment fix and flip to same with travel trailers,then military rolling stock,then Jeeps and now on Harley's.All is fun but my heart rests with the Harley's. Just like looking at them ( but putting my butt on one that makes me hold on for dear life is still fun as heck lol).
Just remember to keep the rubber side down.
Your trip down memory lane was great. That's when people had to use their ingenuity and muscle to get the job done. Today it's either computers or hydraulics. Not too much muscle or ingenuity. I don't remember seeing anything about Senior's saw mill. Perhaps we can see that in the future. Great video.
I love the chuga chuga sound she makes, so much more peaceful.
Those fellows earned their keep back in the day, be careful with that pretty tractor in the woods. Can’t believe your weather, in the Atlanta area today low of 50 high 80.
I was always tasked with the cleanup jobs using a 56' Oliver Super 55. this is 100% childhood lol.
Farmall, great tractor.
Sr looks like Jedi on a Speeder Bike fly thru the woods on that old M!
That is what we did growing up, only ours was skids and was loaded by hand
Different times is for sure!
Different times indeed...most folk didn't have a lot, so when stuff had to get done, it was this is what we got, this is what we're using, come hell or high water we're gettin' it done!
Always loved cutting and hauling out logs and buzz saw limbs I'd be getting dads buzz saw is still where we last used it when I was a teenager
Oh you do have a sawmill . We are getting snow this morning ( upper Michigan )
If I could give two thumbs up I would! Thanks for a great video.
Team work 👍 Sr rocks on loading and unloading 🇺🇸💪
Go easy on the load a concept my father never employed ! He built some rock walls around the property including a fireplace. By the time he finished he had a substantial pile of square wheels for that old Chevy.
NOTHING beats an old bias ply tire!
Looks like a day or two cutting splitting. Got my snow blower ready a couple of weeks ago.
Hey there! Been watching for a long time ...thought u subscibed...whoops ! Your videos are very interresting. Live seeing your dad out there with you on that restoration you did ...looks great ! Interresting vido...love the wood loading and hauling ..good times! See ya ! 👋
It is so nice to see you and Senior working together and recording it..I'm 71 and my dad passed away in 2003..miss working with him cutting wood and splitting..this brings back memories for me.
I enjoy your channel for sure!!
@Paul Powell I also love seeing the super M at work.
They worked back when people decided what they thought was acceptable risk. Now everything is supposed to be risk free so there's no chance we hurt our little selves. Thanks for sharing!
Yep can't even show anything on here without some safety nerd mentioning how "dangerous" it is
Farmall was The Tractor in that day. It worked like a maestro.
Good to see the damaged Oak put to good use. Do you burn the firewood you are about to process this winter or will that be for next year. I like to let it dry at least a year. What sawmill does senior use to cut his lumber?
Ooooh! Looks like winter is coming! 😬 brrrr!
You guys getting some snow and we are still seeing 80 degree temps and no rain here in the PNW............
That was different. Thanks for the video.
