Small Scale Tractor Logging for Off Grid Cabin Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Simple mall scale tractor logging dying Douglas fir trees on my off grid property . Logging with a Farmi 501 tractor winch on a Massey Ferguson MF 30 MF 34. These logs will be taken to my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. Then mild into lumber to build a small off grid cabin. 
Great content as usual! Maybe Bring an Axe next time? lol Good idea to not talk about politics, all it accomplishes is strangers insulting each other on social media. Salvage work isn't boring to me, I do it all the time on the family Farm. I like how you show the whole process from selection, cutting, yarding, and the mill.
Politics: From the Greek -- "Poly", meaning many and "Ticks" meaning malicious bloodsuckers.
Therefore, "Politics" = Many little voracious/malicious bloodsuckers.
Here endeth the lesson.
When you get all the lumber from the standing, dead trees, the size of the off-grid cabin will be upwards of 3,500 ft.sq. ! With wrap-around decks...
Enjoying the content, another likeroo.
Cheers from a (sub-arctic) Linn County.
I think I would actually rather deal with many ticks than politics. I usually feel them crawling on me before they bite and when I do they are a problem that is easy to solve.
I keep thinking the same thing. My building material supply is going to soon exceeded my building.
Great video!
Thank you.
I like the pallet fork setup. Looks to be home grown. Forks are long enough to get the job done but not so long as to get in the way. I suspect that was the idea. And or the longest bars on hand. Either way, like em. On the lookout for an old 2wd front end loader myself. Lot of fords out there but the owners are right proud of them.
Yep you are correct. I have a video somewhere about the forks.
Alternatives based on what you have available at the time is always the best one! Well Dun
Always good to have alternatives. Thank you.
That tractor winch set up you use is really simple, but very effective. Your old tractor is a good match for the winch, and having a differential lock makes it a lot more useful. Vintage is best !
Not only simple and effective, the winch has lasted over 30 years without hardly having to do anything to it. I’ve had to do very little to the tractor too, other than routine maintenance.
Tree work can be repetitive, but always fun and that is a great spot to work.
Well said.
Someone made a remark about Tim wearing sunshades cutting a tree. His safety glasses actually darken in sunlight. I've used a peevey/cant hook for a lot of things. I believe you just came up with a new use! 👏 Have to edit my comment, i just saw a new use for the point on the tape! You have all kinds of new uses for standard equipment!
I find these sun shades don’t fog up like a lot of safety glasses do for some reason. Just don’t tell OSHA I am using them.
Oh yes all kinds of standard equipment has all kinds of uses. My charcoal grill often gets put on the same table I often file my chainsaw on. I just now realized how amusing it might be if someone saw how often I use chainsaw tools when I am grilling.
Nice job. Getting a little slick it looked like. I like how most of your logs are pretty straight . Thanks for sharing
Yep getting a little slick. About time to quit driving on them until it dries out so I don’t tear up my roads.
Losts if work get that but once all milled up it will last a lifetime..😁👍
Yes lots of work but some enjoyment to go along with it.
Morning Michael, hate it when I forget the wedge
banger- inner, like you say, use what you got!. Wish those dead Firs would quit popping up. Now, those Flat-headed Fir borers, is that flatness from the snout back, or the top of the noggin down?🇺🇸
I think the flat headed fir borers are flat from the left side of the head to the right side.
Lots of work for one tree with that old tractor, but she’s a workhorse, how long is the winch cable? I use my CTL with grapple attachment to harvest trees, it can go places I can’t even walk on, and the logs stay clean as I pick them up where they fell. As for politics I usually drop trees where I’d like some politicians to be standing that way I never miss the mark 😂
It is 165 feet. I have another one I can put on it that is 220 feet if I really want to reach out. It performs better with the shorter one. I will have to try that politician visualization trick when I am falling trees. I am guessing it will increase my accuracy. 😁
We got about an inch of snow yesterday , I’m in central MI , not ready for 20• weather but I better get ready cause it’s here…. 😆 next week says it’ll be back in the 40s so we shall see, great video 👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I am guessing by 20s and 40s you may be talking about high temperatures. Where are you are your high temperatures are probably a lot like our low temperatures in the winter. If we get down into the 20s at night we think it’s really cold.
@@WilsonForestLands yep , there’s not a little circle thing to put after the temperature 😆
the Massey just idles along
Regarding the winch and politicians, since it seems all the rules have changed, I for one, would like to hear your “ airing of grievances”- Happy Festivus!!
I am sure some would like to hear my airing of grievances, I am guessing most wouldn’t. I could be wrong. Maybe I need a separate channel or a members area for that.
Good job
👍
I usually find a heavy maple or beech branch 3 inches or so in diameter when I forget the ax.
I have used a branch many times to drive wedges. The problem is I cleaned up that spot a few years ago. I cleaned it up so well, there were no branches to be found.
After looking for one I decided to go get the peavey before I got peeved..
YOU MIGHT LOOK INTO A GOOD SET OF TIRE CHAINS WE USED THEM FOR YEARS
It’s a good suggestion for a lot of cases. It is so rare that I need more traction that I really haven’t felt the need to do anything for more traction. My concern with chains is, they would stir up the soil on the roads, then when it rains again they would really get slick. One of the reasons I quit driving the tractor on them in general after it gets muddy. When it’s wet and muddy I don’t want to be logging anyway.
TRUE@@WilsonForestLands
Nice video! I've seen "skidding cones" advertised to keep the end of the log out of the dirt. What do you think....useful or just a gimmick?
I looked at getting one til I saw the price, now I don’t care if they work. 😆
I haven’t used one so I can’t say for sure. But I can picture how one could be helpful. One question I would ask is how easy is it to remove from the line when you don’t need it when it might be in the way. Some people swear by using a car hood to pull the log up onto and drag it on. I have seen videos of that. With a car hood I definitely wouldn’t want to be packing one around.
Lets talk about religion in the next edition 😂😂 Good morning !
That’s a good idea. Either of those subjects are always good for all occasions. 😁
Some logs just don’t listen.
I don’t know why. Maybe I need to talk to the logs nicer.
You and them run away logs. I guess that it doesn't want to be sawed into lumber. It guessed wrong
I don’t even know why those logs put up a fight or try to run away. I always eventually win. They would make it easier on everybody if they would just go easy.
@@WilsonForestLands right. I know what you mean. I have the same problem. I always call them teenagers. Because they don't mind good
I would rather watch you pull up a thousand logs with the wench than talk about politics. That wench is a "must have" in your area of the woods.
Yeah that wench he has there- she’s a beauty!
I was going to reply to your comment about something that involved the winch and politicians but I probably better not say that in public.
4wd
4wd would be nice but I would have to cut a lot more trees to pay for one. Sometimes it’s good to use what you have.
@@WilsonForestLandsthey are a bit of money
So glad I found your Chanel. I hope people appreciate that you’re the real deal. I’ll be a regular
