Good Morning from the balmy, 26 degree Garden Community. I am glad this video was recovered. The voice-over is great. Very interesting piece of equipment.
Mornin Y’all! This was fun to watch and very interesting. Lots of pine logging all around my house so maybe I’ll go check out their operations because Kenny’s has given me a whole new appreciation for this industry. 👍
Cool, cool, cool video. Real interesting and informative doing a voice over episode on your channel. Old pros give the best info. Thanks Kenny and Chris.
That was nice having Ken talking about the log yard. Last year was the first winter I did the Wisconsin swamps. I've always been a hard wood wood logger and like Ken says wisc is a whole new animal with log lengths and species.. but it sure is a blessing in itself too. Couldn't imagine doing what we do without cabs on the ,machines like now a days.. old loggers are fun to chat with about the old days in wisc too.
Good morning Chris and Kenny!!😀😀 Ken,you are one heck of a operator!! I would have really loved to have had that job!!😀😀 Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
The term you were looking for when you mentioned the Bang Plate is a Trench Box. We use them at Michels when we are building conduit systems in tight areas where we can't dig back far enough to safely enter the trench. Safest way to build a conduit system, keeps the dirt from caving in on the workers while they are stabbing pipe together. At least that's what I call them. Great voice over video. Thx
The machines used in the woodyard is amazing!! Ive been around pulp mills most of my life, To see new machines is mesmerizing!!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Winters snuck in to see if there's room in the couch around here it's freezing. Literally.😮 It's early April and we've got snow happening in central Otago 🥶 I think this winter is going to suck
@@saltrock9642 Ahhhhhh one of my favorite stops along Eye 10 is Billy's Boudin there in Scott, La...... always dropped a Benjamin there but was happy truck driver for 2 weeks!!
damn, thats a bunch of wood. the pulp mill we used to go to took 4' wood. Kenny is pretty damn good with that machine, almost like an extension of his arm and hand. thanks for sharing. it was interesting.
Good morning Chris and friends, Ken your a smooth operator a lot of practice showing there. Over here on the west side of Wi Saturday nights snow accumulations came to 12 inches in places 😢 I need green grass. Keep on cutting
Without video proof...I am not 100% sure this is the real Kenny speaking?? I didn't hear a single swear word or war whoop! Don't be fooled folks...this could be an imposter!😂 32 years is a long ride, and obviously it was in your blood to have made such a commitment! A lot of management changes in that time span. Pride in your work, plus your stubbornness is most likely what got you through. A couple of questions if you have time? How far was this particular yard from your home place? What were your normal ballpark hours in the winter versus summer times? How long did it take to fully warm the loader and hydraulics in the fridged winter time? Also...did you have "sea legs" when getting back on the ground after a long shift in a loader? Like when stepping on the ground after being in a boat all day? Thanks for sitting down with Chris and doing this voice-over. Much appreciated and great video this morning!
It was him, late at night with a few Bushes in him, kinda mellow. Ken lives on the same road and could bike to work.He worked a lot of 10 hour days.Some times a couple hours to warm everything up just to work when it was -30. No sea legs that he mentioned.
I've seen two retail lumber yard delivery straight trucks that have knuckle booms on them BUT Without the operator seats way up high. They walk around with remote controls on their belly's. So almost no climbing at all. Just un strap the loads and start pulling toggles , and pushing switches. Shingles, board lumber, field tile, insulation, 4x8's of whatever.
Another" job well done" presentation. Grateful for the time and effort you take to share your wonderful world of Wood. Very good job Ken ,I hope you got a Taco for setting in .
I enjoyed this video the commentary was the best part. It's kind of sad though because of spending most of your adult life working (fast and furious) just to get the job done. I don't know if Kenny is getting ready to retire or not but it kind of sounds like He's closing that chapter of His life.(maybe it's just me?) I don't see how those mills get away with tree length stuff on the trucks, some of those guys have more than 10 feet hanging off of the trailer, driving truck (not hauling timber) for 20 years the DOT in Ohio would be all over those guys, like flies on stink! It was great hearing one of our blue collar brothers talk about what He did to honor/care for His Wife and children for so many years! Kudos Kenny! Can't sum it up into words.
Had brother in law done the same thing ken done in the mill in stephenville all his life . There mill put 500 to 750 cords aday threw a mill in 24 hrs . Went I load from the semi to the box car on rail took 35 cords round the car there didn’t like . Load it flat straight across was 28 cords on train car . See a logs loader at mill under my semi in two grab, I took 18 to 23;cords Chris . A lot off mill got to have SAFETY glasses , boot , helmet and safety jacket or vest on outside the truck .
THIRTY THOUSAND CORDS😮 heck I'm struggling to get FIVE in down here. Nice toy boys😵us lesser mortals will have to keep going with the hand splitting and the wheelbarrow action 😆 GNI
There’s a mill in upper Michigan they only run spruce 5 to 10” diameter they only cut 2x4 and 2x6 12’ long. That plant has 14 people that run the plant and they run 70 semi load a day thru it. That’s 20 cord loads per semi. They make a lot of lumber with small diameter trees. They chip the outside off first to cants then bandsaw the cant. Peace
I go through sappi in cloquet a lot. The amount of wood that goes through a paper mill... I doubt they can actually know how much the have until the chipper tells them. This year they didn't stack the loaded trailer lot with 2 loads of logs... Whatever it means it's the first year it hasn't happened. Idk if it's off sit or not needed
Big bonus! Learning ,while watching, an awesome combination. Didn't realize it was your brother Kenneth, He wasn't playing grab ash today 😊😊😊. The Wisconsin board of tourism might be calling you. Those overcast ,gloomy, grey as far as the eye can see, cold wind swept dismal videos make it pretty difficult to attract potential big money spending vacationers.☹️☹️ How do the drivers get your tip money to you when your 12 and 15 feet in the air ? 🤔 Maybe they just hold it up and you just pinch it with the grapple?
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you know of any logging shows in Wisconsin. I am new to the tree world with only selling firewood for about 3 years now. I would like to go to a show to see some awesome equipment and to meet new people. Thanks Aaron.
Yeah, the sawdust makes the ice last a very long time. In WW2 the US actually had the idea to build expendable ships made with ice and sawdust. Less impact on resources if lost to the enemy and easily abandoned when finished with it. It never happened, but if so, it would have employed more loggers for the war effort.
@@InTheWoodyard😥 I started out cutting for Rommie back in the mid 70s things have changed a bit since back then. 🤪Not me though I am still as young as ever not that the wife agrees .🤔
I haul trident axle with drop axle with another 53’ trailer hook into other trailer . Straight trailer with no pick hold little over 28 cords x2 behind semi . Chris every logger in the wood no there wood , own the trees hugger don’t know there trees Chris . Logger now running 24 hrs around the clock now Chris with logging equipments. Chris go out Canada in Bc there mills doing over a million board feet a day easy plus you see one logs for truck load or 3 logs for a truck load .
In this episode, We watch Ken getting high AT WORK, ON THE JOB, While on the clock! Right in front of God and everybody. 😊😊😊😊😂 And getting paid for it. Cheech and Chong are jealous 😵💫 Stay tuned , next week the deleted munchie footage 😊
Leibherr high stackers are like most european machines nice to drive and reliable........stay the hell away from a brand called SenneBogan, they are ok to drive but not well designed.
Watching "Lost" footage was extra special. Thanks for going through the effort to get the footage back!
Thanks Brian.
Is it too early to have a beer and watch Kenny work, good morning everyone
Like the song says, It is five o'clock somewhere!
G’morning Chris. Excellent to have the narrative over the awesome footàge. Me and Myla liked watching in front of the wood stove.
GoodNightIrene
Thanks for watching!
Good Morning from the balmy, 26 degree Garden Community.
I am glad this video was recovered. The voice-over is great. Very interesting piece of equipment.
Thank you kindly!
Thanks Mr. Ken!! I always enjoy watching others do what they do for a living.
Thanks for watching!

Please do. Maybe you could make a small vid and some shorts? I'm always watching anything to do with forestry.
All the best from England 🇬🇧
Go for it!
Yup!
Thanks Chris and Ken for showing-us guy's the job that Ken had unloading the wood trucks.. cool looking loader.
Thanks for watching Billy!
Nice job boys, no wonder Kenny always wins a prize when he plays the “claw” arcade game at the tavern! 👍TCT

I really enjoy your videos the more you talk about what’s going on
Thanks Alexander!
That’s a bunch of wood. Looks likes fun unloading and stacking those logs. Well for a while it would be fun🤣 See ya tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yup, almost as much wood as you have.
@@InTheWoodyard Yeah right! 🤣
Good Morning Woodhounds!! 35° F and calm here in central Ohio!!
Winters snuck in to see if there's room in the couch around here it's freezing. Literally.😮 It's early April and we've got snow happening in central Otago 🥶 I think this winter is going to suck
Currently in South Louisiana it’s 60 and clear with a high of 80. Great day to boil a sack of crawfish .🦞

Morning!
Don't let it suck, just get your mind right, if you don't mind it does not matter!
damn, thats a bunch of wood. the pulp mill we used to go to took 4' wood. Kenny is pretty damn good with that machine, almost like an extension of his arm and hand. thanks for sharing. it was interesting.
Yup, after 30 years he has a good hold on it!
Good morning Chris and friends, Ken your a smooth operator a lot of practice showing there. Over here on the west side of Wi Saturday nights snow accumulations came to 12 inches in places 😢 I need green grass. Keep on cutting
Yup, up north there is more snow right now than I have ever seen before!
Great video enjoyed brother together. Nice talk over Kenny. Cheers Barry from Tasmania
Thanks Barry!
Awesome video, wow that’s a lots of logs , Kenny is pro that was awesome to see him working!
Thanks 👍
Impressive! That was a fun video to watch cheers guys 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

@In The Woodyard Thanks, Chris!
Still not convinced this was the real Kenny!🤠 Have a great day!
He also mentioned the company was sold a few times. That is also nerve-wracking.
Wayne too many questions we're going to talk face-to-face about all these questions you have I can give it to you hopefully it Bunyan this year
@Kenneth Carlson Sounds like plan...Thanks!
Good morning Chris and Kenny 😊
Hello Robert!
I did not know Ken was an operator. This explains his tractor driving, so smooth and assertive. While Chris looks like he just started. Yesterday. :p
Yup, you are correct! Ken has 40 years operating equipment on me.
Your brother had a very cool job in my mind those machines are great to watch how they work.
Yup, he sure did!
Good morning everyone
Good morning, Ken.😁👍
Hello!
@@InTheWoodyard HOW MUCH FOR A TRUCK LOAD OF CHERRY WOOD LIKE HE WAS UNLOADING
Really great video. Very enjoyable.
Thanks Allan!
I've seen two retail lumber yard delivery straight trucks that have knuckle booms on them
BUT
Without the operator seats way up high.
They walk around with remote controls on their belly's.
So almost no climbing at all.
Just un strap the loads and start pulling toggles , and pushing switches.
Shingles, board lumber, field tile, insulation, 4x8's of whatever.
Yup, I have seen those guys too!

Some of our low grade hardwood was cut at16', loaded on rail cars and shipped down south for OSB.
Yup, that does happen also.
I'm so glad you recovered some footage! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yup, I got most of it back. Thanks!

That is a bunch of wood!
Where is this yard?
Northern Wisconsin, by Hayward.
THIRTY THOUSAND CORDS😮 heck I'm struggling to get FIVE in down here. Nice toy boys😵us lesser mortals will have to keep going with the hand splitting and the wheelbarrow action 😆 GNI
I am in the big leagues now. Bill bought me a wheelbarrow with 2 yes, two front wheels, and a larger holding capacity.
There is no stopping me now.
@@annmariekowalski7505 😆
We obviously aren't stacking our woodyards near high enough is the only problem!😅 We got this...💪
Yup, it is a lot of wood!
Nice!

Thanks for the info Andy.
The scrap yards around Detroit have those machines with shears and magnets.
Yup!
A really impressive crane operator.
Thanks!
The box used in trenches is called shoring. Trench shoring or box shoring.
Yup, a lot of people here call them trench boxes.
Big bonus!
Learning ,while watching, an awesome combination.
Didn't realize it was your brother Kenneth,
He wasn't playing grab ash today
😊😊😊.
The Wisconsin board of tourism might be calling you.
Those overcast ,gloomy, grey as far as the eye can see, cold wind swept dismal videos make it pretty difficult to attract
potential big money spending vacationers.☹️☹️
How do the drivers get your tip money to you when your 12 and 15 feet in the air ? 🤔
Maybe they just hold it up and you just pinch it with the grapple?
Ha! Thanks Jean!
Butt bucket means the jaws butt against each other. Bypass bucket means the jaws bypass each other.
Yup!
Great footage! My first thought with a one man operation was, my God how long it would take to buck that pile! HAHA!
You and me both!
Nice video for the people 😊
Thanks!
Can't Believe your brother can walk on water too WOW !
Ha! Thanks for watching!
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you know of any logging shows in Wisconsin. I am new to the tree world with only selling firewood for about 3 years now. I would like to go to a show to see some awesome equipment and to meet new people. Thanks Aaron.
The logging show is in Green bay one year and then it Escanaba Mi the next year. End of September. (Great Lakes Logging Expo)
@@InTheWoodyard thanks so much Chris
@@InTheWoodyard I went to the one at the EAA grounds in Oshkosh in 2015, the equipment on display was incredible.
Yeah, the sawdust makes the ice last a very long time. In WW2 the US actually had the idea to build expendable ships made with ice and sawdust. Less impact on resources if lost to the enemy and easily abandoned when finished with it. It never happened, but if so, it would have employed more loggers for the war effort.

Tat as interesting to see Ken work again, 32 years is alot of experience.
Thanks Rick!
Big machinery= fun😁😁😁😁😁 (when everything is working like it should)
Yup, it sure does!
skillful operator ken from kent england
Thanks!
Kenny do you know if Rommie Deim
I just asked him. Yes, he knew who he was, he thinks he might be gone now??
@@InTheWoodyard😥 I started out cutting for Rommie back in the mid 70s things have changed a bit since back then. 🤪Not me though I am still as young as ever not that the wife agrees .🤔
Makes a tractor with a grapple look pretty small !
Yup, it sure does!
30,000 full cords..... just Wow!!
Yup, that is a bunch!
We run the CAT at the log yard at work. Nice video guys. GNI!!
That is awesome, thanks for watching!
I haul trident axle with drop axle with another 53’ trailer hook into other trailer . Straight trailer with no pick hold little over 28 cords x2 behind semi . Chris every logger in the wood no there wood , own the trees hugger don’t know there trees Chris . Logger now running 24 hrs around the clock now Chris with logging equipments. Chris go out Canada in Bc there mills doing over a million board feet a day easy plus you see one logs for truck load or 3 logs for a truck load .
Yup, that is a different kind of operation out there.
Hey can u fill me in what state what town it is not in Hayward WI
Fifeild, Wisconsin
Now that’s a bunch of wood. Neat machines.
Yes thanks for watching!
sennebogen or bust.. My company had one for a month, got rid of it for a sennebogen!
Nice!
WHAT ALL DO THEY USE THAT WOOD FOR?
Paper products. Your toilet paper, paper toweling, labels, cardboard, magazines, etc......Wood products. Lumber for building, houses furniture, tables, chairs, desks, shelves, bats, firewood, mulch, excelsior, animal bedding , etc
How much can a good operator make on a machine like that
It depends on if you are in a union or not and where you are in the world. I would guess $20-40 and hour.
Not bad
Very impressive.
Thanks!
That' Awesome!
Thanks!
🤘
Thanks for all the watching you do Jeff!!!!!
👍👍👍
Thanks 3x!
FNG. Flippin' New Guy. LOL
Yup! Thanks for watching Bob!

George Peppard would take Kenny also! Well Dun!
Yup!
In this episode,
We watch Ken getting high AT WORK,
ON THE JOB,
While on the clock!
Right in front of God and everybody.
😊😊😊😊😂
And getting paid for it.
Cheech and Chong are jealous 😵💫
Stay tuned , next week the deleted munchie footage 😊
Ha! Good one! Thanks Jean!
No wonder lumber is so expensive 😂
Yup, just the fuel alone to get it cut loaded hauled stacked moved again, milled hauled again sold hauled again and used is a bunch!
So truckers could pretty much own this country if
they played their cards right
👍
Thanks!
