I like the racks for restaurants. Easy to move around and to use right off the racks. However, I do not have any restaurants as customers yet. The bags are working well for the customers I do have. Booms are the way to go for doing firewood. I use the heck out of mine. Love your work. Carpe Diem!
I love your whole approach with this firewood business. You have everything a man could ask for and then some. Very good content my friend, very good. Catch ya on the next one, Kenny
Super blessed to have access to great equipment and a great network of folks that help me out. Couldn't do any of this without them. I really enjoy being able to share it on here. Always good hearing from you. Thanks so much for watching!
First Lang smoker I've seen that size. I believe it's called the Patio model. I like the tires on it, much better than the solid metal wheels on my old Oklahoma Joe haha. Thanks so much for watching!
I watched this video many times! It is very informative and helpful. You make even the toughest of jobs so much more efficient when it comes to you. I thought that truck cranes with this specification were not available in Japan, but after checking, it seems that they are available. I think it is difficult to get a used one, but I would like to get one if possible.
Really appreciate your kind words! Funny you mention the Japanese knuckle boom trucks. I have actually been looking at a couple on Japan auto auctions to import to the states. Much more compact and seem to be very well built. Thanks as always for watching!
Growth is good & it looks like a exceptionally nice development, however I get a little pang of sadness when I see those farms get sold & broke up into lots. Do you have a surcharge for the racks or just rely on the honor system of getting them back? I’m getting ready to start selling firewood utilizing cage totes & was wondering.
I know what you mean. Development drives my day job, and it's awful tough tearing down the family farms to facilitate new development. Definitely makes me hold on to my property that much tighter. We typically don't leave the racks for residential deliveries, just use them to show the customer they are getting the correct amount, unload, and take them back with us. We do leave them at restaurants (no deposit), and simply switch out the empty racks for full ones. Always appreciate you watching!
That truck is awesome! It truly is a Swiss Army Knife of a unit. Thank you for doing a video on this truck. I haven't quite seen one like this. If you don't mind me asking... How much did the Knuckle boom and bed combo cost? Thanks for the content and inspiration for starting my own business one day. 👍
Appreciate the kind words! I've only seen a few others on the internet that are spec'd the same as this truck. I'm not sure what this one cost new, as we picked it up used. We've priced a new truck built about the same and it was in the $110k range. Thanks so much for watching!
These racks are half face cord (4'x4' inside the frame). We started with face cord racks, but they were too heavy to push and move around. Appreciate you watching!
Will be watching, Note to self: Add hydraulics to the straight trucks ,flat bed knuckle boom truck.😊 Do you ever wish that you had stake sides for that bed ?
When we first got the truck, we were thinking of sides, but the more we use it, they really aren't necessary in our application. Having the rail and stake pockets, we can always add sides if needed, or 2x etc. Permanent sides would also get in the way of the boom operating sometimes. Always great hearing from you. Really appreciate you watching!
Yes, it went to its new home in Maryland, USA. Just received some pictures from the lucky winner, will post those this weekend. I've got some more giveaways planned for the near future. Stay tuned!
I use many methods for the tag end of the straps haha. The trucker roll works great, but was concerned the logs might shift, and didn't want to fight for a view with the rolls flapping around. Thanks for watching!
Lot of effort in your filing good job!
Another excellent production. You definitely show "work smarter, not harder" on this video.
Thanks Mike. Always appreciate you watching!
I love your truck/boom for delivering in the city!
It's pretty darn handy. Customers seem to like it as well, no mess in their yard or driveway. Always appreciate you watching!

Glad to hear the bags are working good for you. They've really been a game changer for us. Thanks so much for watching!

Excellent content yet again my friend! I look forward to the next one. Stay safe brother.
Appreciate the kind words. Good to hear from you. Thanks for watching!
That is a really cool setup 👍
Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video knuckle booms are nice. That’s a nice smoker
First Lang smoker I've seen that size. I believe it's called the Patio model. I like the tires on it, much better than the solid metal wheels on my old Oklahoma Joe haha. Thanks so much for watching!
You have a great setup way to go
That truck is very impressive!
It sure makes the work a bit easier! Appreciate you watching!
Another good one. Thanks for posting.
Always great hearing from you. Glad to have you watching!
That knuckle boom sure takes the work out of it. You have a great set up for your firewood service.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Really appreciate you watching!
I have a fassi 450bxp mounted to a volvo fh 540, with remote control!! Easy peasy!! Good work as usual!💪💪🍺🍺👍
I'm jealous of your remote control! Would love to have that option one day. Knuckle booms sure do make things easy. Thanks so much for watching!
Enjoyed the video the log tongs make it a lot easier than using a chain. Look forward to the next video you do a great job.
Once you get used to using them, it's almost like a grapple. Thanks so much for watching!!

Nice to have a knuckle truck. New subscriber located in Western North Carolina

Great video! How much weight do you carry on that truck?
how much weight is there total in wood, how do you calculate the weights? Nice Rig
That truck is awesome!
It truly is a Swiss Army Knife of a unit.
Thank you for doing a video on this truck. I haven't quite seen one like this.
If you don't mind me asking...

What's the capacity of one of your rolling racks?
These racks are half face cord (4'x4' inside the frame). We started with face cord racks, but they were too heavy to push and move around. Appreciate you watching!
Will be watching,
Note to self:
Add hydraulics to the straight trucks ,flat bed knuckle boom truck.😊
Do you ever wish that you had stake sides for that bed ?

As long as I'am dreaming,
A 12,000 pound hydraulic winch in either the front or rear bumper would com in handy ,now and then
😂😂😂
For sure, would love to have both! I won't tell folks if I win the lotto, but there will be signs 🤣😎
How many gpm does it take to run one of these
Did you ever draw the winner of the chainsaw?
Yes, it went to its new home in Maryland, USA. Just received some pictures from the lucky winner, will post those this weekend. I've got some more giveaways planned for the near future. Stay tuned!
