The lift is a handy unit, and the battery chainsaw is impressive. I’m never been lucky enough to to have someone who wants the wood, that is willing to help. That worked out well for all. Blessings.
Always tough to cut a good tree down. Had to do that recently with a very large maple that's been at our house for over 35 years. It started intruding on the septic and in to part of the basement. The tree was great for shade in the summer. Earlier this year we cut a 65' pine (pulled a Kenton method of the tape measure to verify) on sloped ground with a pole saw and two chainsaws.
I don't know if y'all burn firewood or not, but beech is great. We cut a lot of it on the farm. That said, it's a booger to split, especially with only a double bladed ax and a sledgehammer with wedges which was our only option back in those days. I have to admit, even at that, I got pretty good at reading the grain of the wood and being able to efficiently split wood. In all honesty, those were indeed the good old days. I miss them. That manlift is the berries!👍👊
Refresh our memory, but is a lift powered by two hydraulic hoses? I'm having a senior moment and can't remember what you said on the video that you had about it. Lol
I tried to buy a lift like that but that company would not even give me the time of day. Said to call back another time. So I ended up purchasing a genie Z65. Sad cuz that lift was a lot cheaper and actually fit my needs better. Nice to see you are getting some good use out of it tho.
Wish I could Find a Grapple here in Oz for my BX or 1025. Everything here seems to start at 80 Hp and up. For the tree, I would have done it as I do without having all the gear you have. Cut whole Limbs, wrap a chain round the end and Drag a bunch out at a time and then cut them up if I need to. Even if the spread is a bit wide the limbs squeeze in when you pull them from the trunk end. Seems like that would have saved a lot of time in this case and been a simpler approach than using the grapples. I drag them round where I want then usually take the crowns off at the burn pile or Chipper and then round to the wood shed to cut and split the bigger sections for the fire.
Great video! Those battery saws are impressive and I'd love to add a small one to my collection, however there is something very satisfying about a 2 stroke chainsaw at WOT then a sharp crack from the limb or tree falling.
"Principle Before Profit". Tim, this could be the motto of your video channel if there weren't so many other good and positive things to say about the work you and Christy do that aren't captured by these words. Another great video epitomizing your honesty, integrity, and respect for your viewers. Many thanks to you both for once again sharing your knowledge, experience, and recommendations.
Fellow Hoosier - just a thought why not cut the logs longer and skid them with your tractor and a chain? Wench on your tractor might help. Love the vids and the man lift.
That's how I envision using a lift for rail trail maintenance... Combined with my Stihl HT131 pole saw and MS261 and MS461 chainsaws, I imagine I'd be able to safely handle any pruning/clearing task encountered. In the future, there is a technique for cutting those long branches (like that at about 6:30) that can be useful. Basically, rather than cutting down from the top, notch the branch on the lower side away from you. Then on your side of the branch make a back cut on the upper side, retaining a hinge, and you can pivot the branch away from yourself and the lift before completing the cut. With a little practice you'll be able to judge the best place for the notch and hinge. I often steer branches in this manner to kept them from getting hung up or falling on things that I don't want damaged.
Hi Tim I have enjoyed a lot of your videos and learned a good bit usually I just hit the like a ND go on but I have to say I really like that skid steer scissor lift it is one of the best implements I have seen for a tractor. Hope to see more videos from y'all and keep the faith.
I know that's Johnny doing most of the work, but I wish I could afford a Johnny 2 with a back hoe, loader with pallet forks. Could really use one. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
i like this piece of equipment, but at 6:40 i see a problem with a log jamming in the scissor and not letting you down if you don't have somebody on the ground to clear it.
If I really needed a grapple the choice would be easier. I think you are correct. They each have their strong points. I have so much uneven ground I don't think the lift would work for me.
The up/down control in the lift's cage is nice...How comfortable/safe would you feel when working it alone? A DIY accessory - attach the bottom of an extension latter to the lift's base and the top of the latter to the lift's floor...add a sliding door (with grab handles) to the lift's cage so one man can climb down without lowering the lift to operate the tractor & grapple ...
I have the same issue in my woods. Ya can't use the grapple on longer pieces so you have to cut them to fit the size of your trails. I have the battery Stihl 200 saw. I use it more than my bigger gas Stihl. So much more quieter and easier to use. Push the button, pull the trigger and you're cutting. Thanks for sharing.
Tim, the kerf is the same dimension as the width of saw blade or chain tooth. The thinner the blade or chain, the faster it will cut through wood, but that's dependent on the amount of rake in the tooth. However, particularly on saw chains, the thinner the chain, the faster it will dull due to less bite on the wood, and this somewhat shortens the life on the blade or chain.
The space won't stay open long unless you keep the shoots coming up from the beech roots under control. If you want to replace the tree with a sapling just favor the best placed one.
I have a friend who cuts trees for a living and he he says for safety and ease of clean up you cut it up while it is standing. Leaving the limbs on causes binding that can force the log to roll as you cut it up. It is never danger free-but always better to cut it up in the air.
Its pretty simple physics to look and see what the main trunk of the tree is putting tension on, and how to cut it to keep yourself safe.. This tree friend of yours would also say.. a small under cut on the long branches would keep them from swinging and knocking into things
If I had a tractor I could use that lift to do my siding on my house. A lot better than climbing up and down on a ladder or scaffolding. I'm getting to old for that. Work smarter not harder!
Do you think some slack pieces of removable chain hooked between the dual clamps would give you more versatility when clamping odd shaped loads and piles? I think it would be a bit of a hybrid between the dual clamps and single clamp grapple...
I like your Man Lift better than my stack of pallets with a step ladder on top. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the Tractor Universe forum info. AND, the the type of Drone y'all use. I've been wondering about that but hadn't asked.
I came back and watched part of this again... Your narrative on the single vs. double clamp grapples got me wondering... Would it be feasible to have a double clamp grapple with an on-demand feature that ties the two clamps together so that they act as one. For example, have a linear actuator (or two) that lock the two clamps' upper jaws together on demand. Does such a grapple exist? If not, maybe there could be a Tim Marks 2to1 edition grapple... Kind of like how Martin made a Roger McGuinn HD7 Signature Edition 7 string Acoustic Guitar after making a custom one for Roger. ;~)
I was really unhappy with artillian while using it as single jaw. After I added the second jaw, I became a lot happier and more productive with it. The second jaw is worth the upgrade since you are already married to their very expensive system. I forwent the "splitter box" and permanently mounted the grapple to the frame, plumbed it with simple "Ts". Having two independent jaws is a game changer. I also like the long lower tines, you can do so many things with a grapple configured in that way, scooping, hand loading, rooting ect.
Tim, please pardon me for a dumb question but… how come you didn’t use the lift to drop the limbs at the trunk first. You can more easily and safely buzz them into shorter lengths on the ground. Was I missing something?
I think we have that resolved. I hope to be getting an update in October which will bring it closer to the tractor. Bringing it closer to the tractor allows it to be just light enough to be lifted by the 2038r. Also, removing the quick hitch allows it to be lifted too. Once we get the update installed, we will show it on our channel.
Another fun video Tim and Christy 👍🏻, that scissor lift is cool and the Stihl battery chainsaw is impressive, I have the Milwaukee chainsaw and I’m pretty satisfied with it 👍🏻. Have a great day 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
We have a 12-in DR chainsaw that is battery loaded, but we recently picked up a Makita 16-in battery chainsaw. They both have their place, but the Makita has a lot more power. We needed a longer blade in order to get some of the bigger trees that we need to trim up or the occasional one that needs to come down because it's getting too old or ready to fall. I've heard good things about Milwaukee as well
@@TractorTimewithTim , I think you may be mistaken. OSHA requires fall protection anytime one is more than 4 ft off the grade unless it was a structure. We had to tie off to the manlift at my last employer, Duke Energy. Fortunately for myself, I rarely needed to be 4 ft off the ground with my responsibilities.
Question: Scenario: Employees are working on a guardrail-equipped scissor lift platform that extends beyond the wheelbase of the lift. The scissor-lift meets all the applicable requirements in Part 1926 Subpart L. The workers are on the scissor lift only when the scissor-lift is stationary.

Tim , how is that scissor lift attached to the 3 post hitch...a bunch of us are discussing it here , can you explain how you guys hooked it up please ? Thanks Tim ! pc
Looks to me if I was doing that, I would have a wood chipper there to take care of the smaller branches and just get them out of the way quick and easy. Then have a lawn mower style trailer to load lengths of logs for extra time saving. You've got the backhoe on the 1025R, but you have to have something you could use for ballast and also be able to tow a small trailer.
@@jimmcknight3021 I've got a LS MT225S with the rear wheels filled. I don't know what the dealer used, but it still isn't enough for my logs. Small loads like in this video would be fine, but still prefer some rear ballast. A small trailer attached with logs in it would help too, but could put strain on the tongue.
I have no idea what you are saying. I had suitable ballast on the 1025r in this episode (and essentially all 800 episodes ). We feature ballast options (heavyhitch.com) inn this channel frequently.
So did you film this shortly after the curl cylinder on the backhoe bent? Or have you just not had time to fix the cylinder yet or is there a long lead time on a replacement
I've still need to get more experience under my belt but, I might (emphasize might) disagree just a tad as far as which grapple is better when. The clam shell style is better on smaller diameter and brushy loads and the Artillian is better with bigger diameter logs. I think there is a cross over where they are both about the same and that would be like the load you showed. JMHO though.
Tim, what PSI do you pump up your front tires to? My tires I believe are R4 and say 20psi, but sometimes I've got a load in my bucket that seems to almost flatten them. I've got a 2017 1025r.
I believe the loader manual stated to add 10psi. I run mine 30-35psi. Hate seeing them squat. Rears, just the opposite, I run them low as possible for ride quality and reduced compaction
@@TractorTimewithTim Good to know! Yeah, they seem pretty weak. I was going to look for upgrade (radial maybe?) tires for the front, but maybe I'll just up the PSI to 35. Thanks.
the inferior grapples,( not as heavy, not as powerful) would be interesting enough to see on inferior tractors such as the X700 and X400 or 400/300 series garden tractors most of us can afford. haha. if that makes sense. i would never take such a big heavy tractor thru my lawn, it already struggles with the ruts my 445 and model 40 loader make when loaded.
If the exit road is mostly straight, but only 8 foot wide? A snatch chain wrapped around the bigger ends of long limbs, then you drag them out like a long trailer... sure, takes longer to wrap the chain, but you aren't cutting each limb 5 or 7 times...
Cool Video as always ..But I have ben wanting to ask You What IsoTunes do you like Best ? the Pro or Pro 2.0 or the Xtra ? Price Really isnt a problem i just Value Your Opinion ! I Couldn't Keep up with the wireless ones getting off & on the Tractors Racking hay/Bailing Or bobcat an so on ! I am kinda leaning twords the Xtra Mainly For The magnet when i take them out to talk..& i like to do That..lol.( I Take it after my Grand Paw..I dont think he ever met a stranger) what is more comfortable to you to wear all day? i have never ben a headphone/earbud kinda guy but my hearing isnt what it used to be & i need to try to keep what i got left..just asking & Thanks !!
@@TractorTimewithTim Ok Thanks ! That is What i Will Order Then..lol. I Didnt even know about the xtra 2.0 but i got them in my cart..The Xtra 2.0 just look like they would be the best/easiest to keep up with when ya always getting off on/in & out of a machine of some sort all day for sure ! Thanks Again for the Help i had ben waiting to order a pair until i could ask you about them & im Glad i Did ! Thank You Again & God Bless You & Yours
@@TractorTimewithTim but that's when you become Tom Sawyer and have people check out your new PTO driven wood chipper and see how cool it is as they chip up all your limbs and create a wood chip path for you! Lol lol
You under estimated. It happens. But there's a reason certain things have been done a certain way. Cause it works. Ie should've skidded them out. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Man has been cutting trees down for thousands of years
Couldn't you leave it long and skid it out? I know you wouldn't get to use that cool grapple as much, but it would be much less work at the tree (you still have to cut it up if you're making firewood). A chipper is standard for me, I have a little 8hp HF unit I just put in tjhe loader and it handles all the tops. Less to drag out. If you slide it to one side of the bucket, it discharges the chips right in it, or move it over and it discharges over the side. Or you can take it out an scoop up the chip pile after. Handy scissor lift, but hard to justify for most of us little guys. Sure would be nice to go in with a neighbor on one or something like that.
Which type of Mavic is it? Did you get the 3K Mavic (the whole kit), or did you get the 1,300 dollar Mavic? I’m personally afraid to spend that type of money on such a tiny product that has only a one year warranty on it, when it looks extremely sensitive and breakable. The blades looked flimsy to me. Is there anything more that you could say or touch base on your Mavic, please?
Did you see Sunday’s episode with the 1025r on the baler? Yes, I believe the lx3310 would connect up and run it fine. The only concern would be the stubby PTO shaft.
Rex just can't get the idea of using the lift function! I find that the picco chains tend to vibrate a lot, even after sharpening properly. I would love to have one of those scissor lifts but can't justify the cost versus renting a JLG or equivalent off-road boom lift.
that's some terrible safety, but i understand the method of the less aggravating madness. the trade off of evils was not worth it due to the dangers of dropping blocks of tree into your lift. that's how people get killed in the tree business. those things are great for changing light bulbs and installing networking cables and other such minor things.
I hope you are paying these guys. If you are not you are taking advantage of their free labor. This job could be done a lot faster by sawing all the big limbs and cutting them up on the ground. Looks to me like you do to many jobs the farmer way lots of people and go real slow.
I’ll have to say, Christy does a great job on setting up the shots using all the tools to keep the story fresh and interesting.
The lift is a handy unit, and the battery chainsaw is impressive. I’m never been lucky enough to to have someone who wants the wood, that is willing to help. That worked out well for all. Blessings.
I was talking about this yesterday, and here you are. Thanks Steve
Always tough to cut a good tree down. Had to do that recently with a very large maple that's been at our house for over 35 years. It started intruding on the septic and in to part of the basement. The tree was great for shade in the summer. Earlier this year we cut a 65' pine (pulled a Kenton method of the tape measure to verify) on sloped ground with a pole saw and two chainsaws.
That manlift looks awesome!
Hey Kitty, Kitty. Thanks and take care
Another good day in the woods. Fun times>
Thanks for posting, now I'm looking at a skid lift for my place! Gotta see if I can mount it on my BX23s! 😀
I don't know if y'all burn firewood or not, but beech is great. We cut a lot of it on the farm. That said, it's a booger to split, especially with only a double bladed ax and a sledgehammer with wedges which was our only option back in those days. I have to admit, even at that, I got pretty good at reading the grain of the wood and being able to efficiently split wood. In all honesty, those were indeed the good old days. I miss them.
That manlift is the berries!👍👊
I too wonder what happens with the good firewood
I thought we made it clear that Cameron wanted this wood for firewood.
I'm sorry I didn't hear that
Nice to see that lift make another appearance.
One of the coolest things you guys have shown
Yea. It is pretty cool.
Refresh our memory, but is a lift powered by two hydraulic hoses? I'm having a senior moment and can't remember what you said on the video that you had about it. Lol
Power beyond from the tractor.
I tried to buy a lift like that but that company would not even give me the time of day. Said to call back another time. So I ended up purchasing a genie Z65. Sad cuz that lift was a lot cheaper and actually fit my needs better. Nice to see you are getting some good use out of it tho.
The lift is pretty nifty! It extends to a good height!

I have a single lid grapple that I love but I do see advantages of the dual lid in different circumstances.
Pretty cool how useful those electric saws are these days.

Expensive, but incredibly handy and powerful for its size.
Tim how about a 3pt corer attachment for taking care of you grass yearly?
I feel grapples go with the tiller rule. Any grapple you get you will be happy. I do wish i would have gotten a grapple with 2 clams
If I had a tractor I could use that lift to do my siding on my house. A lot better than climbing up and down on a ladder or scaffolding. I'm getting to old for that. Work smarter not harder!
You can make a little picnic area out there but it can't fire couple picnic tables and some seats

Would really like it if you could put that lift on the 2038r. If it would lift/move it, I would probably buy one.

Tim needs a DUMP TRAILER AND A 3 POINT BALL FOR EASY GRABS WHEN LOADED
What do you do with all those limbs? I am always a bit surprised that you don't have a 3pt chipper yet.
a 'match' is easier than a chipper :-)
maybe we'll get a chipper someday. Who knows?
I will Camo paint my skid lift & get a Camo hunting tent B 4 Deer season.
So did you film this shortly after the curl cylinder on the backhoe bent? Or have you just not had time to fix the cylinder yet or is there a long lead time on a replacement
Both. We’ll update you when we can.
Nice place for a gazebo?
Might have been faster to cut the pieces longer and pull them out rather than using the grapple?
I want to know more about that chainsaw!
I've still need to get more experience under my belt but, I might (emphasize might) disagree just a tad as far as which grapple is better when. The clam shell style is better on smaller diameter and brushy loads and the Artillian is better with bigger diameter logs. I think there is a cross over where they are both about the same and that would be like the load you showed. JMHO though.
Can you put other chains on the 200 and 220? Different pitch and all. I personally never had any luck with the 1/4 pico that comes on the Stihl saws
we find these work wonderfully as is. I wouldn't change a thing! No idea if you can use different chain.
Just a question. Why not use a trailer to enable you to haul longer pieces?
Tractor wouldn't fit have a day love from TEXAS
Tim, what PSI do you pump up your front tires to? My tires I believe are R4 and say 20psi, but sometimes I've got a load in my bucket that seems to almost flatten them. I've got a 2017 1025r.
I believe the loader manual stated to add 10psi. I run mine 30-35psi. Hate seeing them squat.
Rears, just the opposite, I run them low as possible for ride quality and reduced compaction
@@TractorTimewithTim Good to know! Yeah, they seem pretty weak. I was going to look for upgrade (radial maybe?) tires for the front, but maybe I'll just up the PSI to 35. Thanks.
the inferior grapples,( not as heavy, not as powerful) would be interesting enough to see on inferior tractors such as the X700 and X400 or 400/300 series garden tractors most of us can afford. haha. if that makes sense.
i would never take such a big heavy tractor thru my lawn, it already struggles with the ruts my 445 and model 40 loader make when loaded.
So what you're saying is I need both types of grapples...more toys...errrrrr....tools... I'll pass it on to the finance committee...🤣🤣🤣
Just be sure to duck as you suggest that idea :-)
Why did you not pull the entire limb out through the small Trail by the big end
Bring the lift over let me try it out
Grapple is the tiller of the front end. Remember rule #1
If the exit road is mostly straight, but only 8 foot wide? A snatch chain wrapped around the bigger ends of long limbs, then you drag them out like a long trailer... sure, takes longer to wrap the chain, but you aren't cutting each limb 5 or 7 times...
Cool Video as always ..But I have ben wanting to ask You What IsoTunes do you like Best ? the Pro or Pro 2.0 or the Xtra ? Price Really isnt a problem i just Value Your Opinion ! I Couldn't Keep up with the wireless ones getting off & on the Tractors Racking hay/Bailing Or bobcat an so on ! I am kinda leaning twords the Xtra Mainly For The magnet when i take them out to talk..& i like to do That..lol.( I Take it after my Grand Paw..I dont think he ever met a stranger) what is more comfortable to you to wear all day? i have never ben a headphone/earbud kinda guy but my hearing isnt what it used to be & i need to try to keep what i got left..just asking & Thanks !!
Xtra 2.0 is my preference.
@@TractorTimewithTim Ok Thanks ! That is What i Will Order Then..lol. I Didnt even know about the xtra 2.0 but i got them in my cart..The Xtra 2.0 just look like they would be the best/easiest to keep up with when ya always getting off on/in & out of a machine of some sort all day for sure ! Thanks Again for the Help i had ben waiting to order a pair until i could ask you about them & im Glad i Did ! Thank You Again & God Bless You & Yours
@@bigchew3149 don’t forget code ttwt!
A pto Wood chipper probably would of help minimizing the amount of trips
Chipper is lots of work!
@@TractorTimewithTim but that's when you become Tom Sawyer and have people check out your new PTO driven wood chipper and see how cool it is as they chip up all your limbs and create a wood chip path for you! Lol lol
Feel like a pole saw could've reached all the things that lift did
You under estimated. It happens. But there's a reason certain things have been done a certain way. Cause it works. Ie should've skidded them out. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Man has been cutting trees down for thousands of years
Couldn't you leave it long and skid it out? I know you wouldn't get to use that cool grapple as much, but it would be much less work at the tree (you still have to cut it up if you're making firewood). A chipper is standard for me, I have a little 8hp HF unit I just put in tjhe loader and it handles all the tops. Less to drag out. If you slide it to one side of the bucket, it discharges the chips right in it, or move it over and it discharges over the side. Or you can take it out an scoop up the chip pile after.
Handy scissor lift, but hard to justify for most of us little guys. Sure would be nice to go in with a neighbor on one or something like that.
many ways to get the job done.
Which type of Mavic is it? Did you get the 3K Mavic (the whole kit), or did you get the 1,300 dollar Mavic? I’m personally afraid to spend that type of money on such a tiny product that has only a one year warranty on it, when it looks extremely sensitive and breakable. The blades looked flimsy to me. Is there anything more that you could say or touch base on your Mavic, please?
Uh, Mavic Pro 2.
plant mulberries.. :)
C'mon, Tim. No hydraulic jacks for that man lift?
We’ve talked about it.
looking at an artillian grapple
Can your lx3310 handle a small square bailer.
Did you see Sunday’s episode with the 1025r on the baler? Yes, I believe the lx3310 would connect up and run it fine. The only concern would be the stubby PTO shaft.
Probably would have been faster to skid big pieces out.
Build a gazebo out there
I was thinking the same thing. A beautiful spot away from the house where you can decompress from everyday issues.
That's too bad, Beech trees are very slow growing.
Rex just can't get the idea of using the lift function! I find that the picco chains tend to vibrate a lot, even after sharpening properly. I would love to have one of those scissor lifts but can't justify the cost versus renting a JLG or equivalent off-road boom lift.
that's some terrible safety, but i understand the method of the less aggravating madness. the trade off of evils was not worth it due to the dangers of dropping blocks of tree into your lift. that's how people get killed in the tree business. those things are great for changing light bulbs and installing networking cables and other such minor things.
He needs a harness. Never know when something may go wrong.
OSHA does not require a harness on a scissor lift.
I hope you are paying these guys. If you are not you are taking advantage of their free labor. This job could be done a lot faster by sawing all the big limbs and cutting them up on the ground. Looks to me like you do to many jobs the farmer way lots of people and go real slow.
what's the hurry? sometimes the time together is the most important part of doing things with family and friends.
