Hard Working Man Pays to Work! Full Log Truck In The Woodyard!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2024
- Firewood people are a different breed, I spent money to create work for myself. But in the end it should make money and turn a nice profit. We bought our first ever truck full of logs. Twenty cord of red oak to run through the Dyna SC16 Rapid Split Processor as well as the Balfour Samurai, the Makit, Stihl, and Echo chainsaws and the All Wood and Eastonmade log splitters. A pile of fun as far as I see it and we will bring all of you along on our journey to see what works and what doesn't.

Great video Heath and Rachel
Nice looking load of logs Heath and Rachel
Thanks!
Living here in Maine, spending 40+ years in Jackman area, this owner operater is one professional talented operator.
John, I agree, he definitely knew what he was doing!
That’s impressive. Nice 20 cord load.
Thanks!
Helping other wood hounds see and learn how to a use a rented processor is why this is such a GREAT channel. Get're Done!
Thank you, we do our best to be entertaining and to help others.
Man what a beautiful sight.lol thanks, i gotta start buying logs ,but in East TN our logs are kept longer,i wish they were this length here.thanks y'all
Thanks Jesse, it definitely add a lot of stock to the Woodyard in a hurry!
Oh I bet, appreciate you both,good job on the video
hi there Poor Rachel that looks like a lot of work for her ,that loader guy is good .that boiler should eat all of that next winter .nice load .best to all john
Thanks John, maybe she’ll let me do some but probably not too much. She just looks better doing it.
Wow! Impressive load! Fun stuff! Thanks for the HFH mention. Just a few days away!
HFH should be fun. Come on good weather!!!!!
That's a lot of wood! It'll keep you busy a long time.
For sure.
That will keep you going for a bit. You will find the magic size that works the best. Good luck and look forward to seeing how it goes.
Yes it will! Should be fun.
Not enough! Never enough😂👍👍
So true, it’s a sickness lol.
Free wood is the best wood, but for production logs is the way to go! I started off felling trees and out grew that real quick!
This will definitely up our output and we can still mix in the free self sourced stuff.
I drove through earlier and seen that load. Holy cow that's a lot of wood.
Yes it is. May have to host a wood splitting party.
That's the same company I got my oak from that you see behind my shop. 20 cords I paid 2500 last year. With the price of fuel I'd say you got a fair price.
Thanks Todd, it doesn’t look as nice as your load size wise but I’ll take it. Maybe we’ll have to swing by with the processor one day and run part of your pile through. We’ll trade some labor for some rust proofing lol.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors you'll soon see my Hud-Son processor and Wolf Ridge conveyor set up there soon. I still have so much ash to get through at the homestead. If you see me out processing, stop in and say high! Thanks for the processor offer!!
@@toddbrown8701 will do!
Be very careful around that log pile. A man near me died when a log pile like yours shifted and rolled over him. Talk to Chris in Woodyard on how to safely cut that pile down, good luck- stay safe.
Thanks Dan, we told the kids to stay away and I’ll be working it with the tractor.
Great load of wood!! Can't wait to see it being ran through the Dyna!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks David, should be fun.
Nice load, a great investment, u ought to double or triple your money easily
Thanks Mark, I think you’re spot on.
That operator is like a surgeon with that grapple.
Yes he is!
That’s one nice big jag of wood Heath! Poor Rachel has her work cut out for her now! 😁
Haha! You’re not wrong about that😂
Thanks Ken, but Rachel’s had her work cut out for her since she met me lol.
It's a LOT of work to make money with firewood !!!
On top of your cost of the logs you should probably add 30 percent for All the other costs of processing it !
Plus whatever cost if you deliver it as well !
Wood is fun...in most cases it should be treated as a hobby !😊
Oh yah...if you make money the government wants a slice of the pie as well !
Oh for sure. I love doing it and the extra money we make is a bonus.
Nice load of logs there!
Thanks Jake!
Very smart choice!
Thank you!
I started hustling my own logs, then went with tree service wood. For the last 15 years I’ve been buying double log trailer loads as you just did. I’m thinking you will never go back to harvesting your own wood. Takes to much time and effort. The time you save not harvesting your own wood you will be processing.
It definitely shows how small the loads I pull really are in comparison. I enjoy getting my own but I definitely see more value in this so far.
Nice clean strait oak gota love that . What you get out of it depends on what you consider a cord . If it’s split an stacked 128 cu ft I’m thinking 15-16 cord out of that 20 cord load . Sawdust cookies and shrinkage all adds up . Once it’s dry it’s gona shrink even more .
For sure, at least the cookies will fill the boiler for a bit! Should be fun!
That was a pretty good hike to drop the wood off at your place. He's in my part of the state
Yes it was, that add to the cost but couldn’t find much local.
I just ran 27 full cords thru a Dyna SC16! In 12 hours! What a machine!
That’s awesome. I doubt we’ll be that fast with limited experience but they are nice!
That's a nice load of wood I wish you could find out around here Say my friend have a good day
Thanks!
I process logs with my Eastonmade 48C, I get on average 2.5 face cords (4'X8'X 16") of firewood from a loggers cord (4'X4'X8') of wood. There is a lot of slash that is generated from splitting with the 16 way box wedge but I bag that and sell it for kindling. We pay 100.00 per loggers cord 4'X4'X8', typically white ash and oak. Great video!
Awesome, thanks Ed!
That dude running the grapple could shave you with that thing
Yeah, he has some skill for sure! It was pretty cool to watch.
That is a lot of wood. I have been cutting and heating with wood since 1980. I started selling wood so I could afford good chainsaws and have owned about every major brand. I now use Echo's because Husky dealers let me down too many times. I have only bought logs once back in the 80's and it was $350 for a truck load without the back trailer.
The 80’s -Great times
I love my echo saws. Never owned a Husky.
I ran a material handler with a grapple attachment for years before I retired. This guy is about as good as it gets when coming to operating a grapple.
Yeah he was definitely impressive!
That is an awesome truck driver, you can tell it’s not his first rodeo. It takes some practice to back up the truck and trailer like that. I agree with Chris. About your time getting the logs. Should be able to double your investment if not more. Cheers
Thanks Gerry, I agree he was impressive with the grapple and backing up.
Well that was cool. Lotta work ahead of ya there! It would take me 4 months to get that many trees cut and hauled home off the farms🤣 Take care Heath and Rachel👊🏻
Thanks Todd, it was pretty neat!
That is a beautiful load of logs. Perfect for the dyna.
Yes it is! Thanks!
yeah, wow.. as a viewer, wow. That's up to you Heath and Rachael!
Thanks, it’s a nice stack for sure.
Beautiful load there guys! Think when Logger John would bring Chris 14 cords it would net around 12 split- hoping you get 16+. Love that they support the Military 🇺🇸
Thanks Micah, I was thinking 16-17. Definitely appreciate the military support.
I asked Chris the exact same question about the amount of wood he told me for every six cords of log form you get five cords of firewood form. Be interesting to see if you have the same results
I was thinking a similar number.
Well Heath and Rachel,now it’s time to rock and roll with all that oak 😮😊❤
Yea sir!
Great looking load of wood,Ive got Rachel a unopened bottle of Lemon Vodka 😊
Oh yeah😊
Thanks and oh man lol. Watch out.
Beautiful load. You guys will rip through that fast. Can’t wait to see your videos on thisn
Thanks guys it should be fun!
Great find! I will cal & order a load in the morning... That's a better price than I got from another supplier...
Let them know you saw it on HWM I told him I would share their contact information. I may have to order another soon as well.
Heath, you’re living the dream! 😎 🤙
Yes sir!
Farmer wasn’t man enough to scream at you heath. Sounds like a great Nabour to have.
Definitely not the best.
Nice!!! Chip
Thanks Chip!
One hell of a pile of wood
For sure Joe!
You should yield 16 full cords beautiful processed firewood. The rest will be saw chips and cookies (boiler food).
Thanks, the boiler will eat well!
Great load of timber Heath n Rachel , a much more efficient way of producing firewood and u should be able to double your money cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Agreed! Thanks.
I work every year for a guy who does this in maine actually iv worked for 3 gotta love state orders
I like this type of work.
Great video Heath and Rachel. Glad to see 😮 Just keep moving up and up and going and going great load. That guy is definitely experienced operator. Love to see that too. You guys have yourself a great day.
Thanks Dave, and yes he is!
That's quite the log pile! Look forward to seeing the Dyna make it into little pieces.
For sure! Thanks Bobby!
A really nice load of logs 👍 Should keep you busy for a few days 😂
Definitely keep us busy for a day or two.
I buy 10 cord loads. When cut & split, I get 22 IBC totes full. Not close to 10 finished cords
I know you lose some. Are you stacking into totes?
Wow Heath, stepping up your game. I saw that load and immediately thought Dyna.
We’re trying! Thanks.
You guys are crazy. Looks like a lot of work. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Should be fun.
Lovely load of logs. We had 5 cord delivered week ago. 830 dollars in Canada our area. Not cheap. 2 years ago it was only 680. Put price up alot. Gas prices going up so they put it up. When it was cut and most of it split that,s what I got out of it. Packed it up to see if it was there. On your receipt paper they give you, it,s a number on it to equal the number of cords if you no what I mean. Ours said 10 something. I think they go by cubic feet. Perhaps where you live they don,t do that. I,m not up on figuring it out but let me no if you no how it goes. I should ask the guy. Looking forward to seeing it been processed. Take care.
Thanks, prices are definitely up! Yeah the receipt says 20 cord.
17 cord is my guess. Out of 20 cord. We buy 16 cord at a time. I figure we get 14 cord or so out of it.
You’ll have fun doing that. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Thanks Noel!
one last thing. be SAFE! dont stand in the way if your cutting them on the pile. if one log lets loose it will injure you in seconds those logs are HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY! and we dont need you getting hurt doing this.
Definitely not going to cut on the pile. I’ll unload with the tractor and place them on the Dyna for the most part.
Awesome deal guys. Had this same thought myself. Going to be very interested in the amount you can get from this. I've priced them in my area for no cheaper than 3k so sounds like you did alright. Scott...
Thanks Scott, should be fun to get processed up.
I think you'll do well with this load, they said the load was 20 cords! 2 Decks that are 24' in length X 8' in width X 8' high = 1,536 square feet each = 3,072 total / 128 = 24 cords. You should add 1/3 cord for every 2 cord split and stacked would add an additional 3.6 full cords added based on the 24 cord #. I'm going to say 27+ full cords. 20 Cords / $2,700 = $135 per cord delivered, not a bad price. If you sold it by the cord at $300 per cord = $8,100 less the purchase price = a profit of $5,100. At bundle rate there is 42 bundle of 16" wood per (1 cubic foot hand size pieces) bundles per 1/3 of a cord or 126 bundles per cord. Total load should produce 3,400 bundles at $7.00 = $ 23, 814 less cost = $21,114.
Thank you for the info. I think we’ll do pretty well for sure. Already placed my order for a second load!
Store your firewood the same way In the woodyard(Chris) does, in big bins.
May have to for this amount. I don’t get the wind he does though living in the woods.
I believe 27 face cord per 10 log cord. So you should get about 54 face cord.😊
Nice, thanks Dan.
Nice load of logs Heath! I still have quite a bit to process from the driveway I put in last summer. It may be something I consider in the future. Looking forward to seeing them on the processor.
Thanks Jeff, it should keep us busy for a bit.
You two will be my age by the time you get all that split! hahaha. Your friend Brian -0 MN .
I hope not lol.
You'll at least if not triple your money. Of course the first time you do this it's a waiting procedure.
Thanks Stephen. The wait will be the worst part but hopefully we can start cycling loads through so they’ll be ready one after the other in the future.
Hi you guys. I think you will get some where between 15-17 full cords of firewood. It can vary between 15-30 percent loss. The wood you got looked like a very nice clean and straight wood. See you at HFH.
Should be close.
If you got 20 bush cords, it’ll probably come out to like 17 actual cords I believe. 2700\17= 158. So ya I think you could definitely at least double your money, maybe triple depending on your location
Thanks, I was guessing around the same. If I get 17 cord I should triple my money here.
Heath, if you get better than 50 face cords your doing well. We typically use 2.5 face cords to a cord. You should do a bit better, that truck looks like a fair load to be purchased.
That operator is top notch. Coming from a logging background he has skills. Looks great would love to know what you get out of it.
Thanks Jason. They look like pretty nice logs overall and that operator was impressive for sure.
Heath that will surely keep you and Rachel busy for a while, but I know you can't wait to get started. Just wanted to comment about oak firewood. Okay for starters, I am NOT a firewood expert. So I'm certain someone will correct when I misspeak but here goes. I grew up in the geographical region in Texas known as the Post Oak Savannah so you can readily guess what tree species is the dominant variety. From my recollections as a kid of course that's what we heated our house with in an oblong cast iron wood heater. And you are 100% correct. It has to WELL seasoned. Oak burns hot and clean. It forms large lump coals so it is great for cooking and/or smoking meats. No one would ever burned a conifer because of the pitch and the danger of creosote fires. Now obviously in the Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir is king as long as it is dry and WELL seasoned. We never dreamed of a firewood business because hydraulic splitters hadn't been invented yet. So it was all done by hand with axes and/or steel wedges and a sledgehammer. OK this is already too long. Look forward to see that log pile get processed.
For sure, I love cooking with oak! We’ll be doing that this summer as well but with some already seasoned wood.
Oak is generally the best firewood, but not the best campfire wood. You know, you can’t go wrong buying from a company that has the Marine Corps Emblem on the cab of the delivery truck; because if the wood was 💩, it would have reflected badly on the Corps.
Oh, By the way, I still have gray mud on my 27’ dovetail from my trip on your driveway lol. Apparently, Missouri thunderstorms are not intense enough to wash that Michigan mire off 😂
That’s too funny Mark! My car is always filthy from these darn dirt roads 😂
Thanks Mark, I agree and liked seeing the support for the military when he pulled in. Now it’s time to get to work. The mud here is no joke for sure! Hope you’re doing well.
I'm curious what his loaded gross was with the 11 axils.
Having there gross lbs on the door is mandatory out west best i know as i see it on most all trucks. rather strange to me, not to see it..
Out west, 8 axils can allow for 105,500 GVW. A common chip truck configuration. Or a straight truck moving 30 to 40 foot logs. plus a pup trailer stuck on the back moving logs around 20 foot. Side ways log hauling out west is very rare..!!
.
For how we occasionally sell fire wood log loads. And loads of logs to the local sawmills.
For a 6 axil truck with a 10,000lb loader there usually about 20 to 24 tons of cargo, at 88,000lb gross. Basically the one drop axil nullifys the additional loader lbs. Over a standard 80k log truck.
It usually around 7 to 8 cords. With bunks set for 32 foot logs.
.
Ballparking the stack at 50 foot long, 8 foot deep, and 6 foot high i get 2,400 cubic feet. Or in cord terms 18.75 cords.
I would say there 20 cord estimate is definitely in the ball park, as id say theres some where between 18 to 22 cord.
.
Thats my 0.01c estimate, LOL.
You definitely have more knowledge about this stuff than me. All I know is it was HEAVY!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors gotta start somewhere LOL.
I hope to make the veterans wood day. If i do we will meet in person. I'LL likely be the only one there with Oregon plates. In a beater with a heater. Everybody else will have fancy stuff.
GVW on this set up is 159,500
@@daltonmuma8486appreciate the reply.
@@daltonmuma8486 that definitely explains how yea get 20ish cords on..
That's going to keep you busy for quite some time!
Yes it is! Thanks Elliot.
Nice load my friends.. i just aquired 25 loads of logs for after the breakup.. hope we have enough room...lol
Yeah you need some space for that! Nice to have the stock coming in though.
Lots like nice processor wood. I cut my own logs so I haul them home from the bush by diameter. I have room to stack them in 4 different areas by diameter. This allows me to process them and not have to change 4 way and 6 way wedge or even adjust the height much. It really does save a lot of time and effort. I also use a 30 or 40' conveyor off the end of my processor's attached conveyor. I'm doing ash so I can make tall stacks and drying is not an issue. It'll be interesting to see how your oak is going to dry. With all those trees around you are going to get filled up quick. I think it might be worth it to advertise some green at a small reduced rate to get you some return right away but also free up some space. I keep a bunch of punky logs around to use as bunks under my good logs. Might be an idea to throw some punky ash logs down next time to save those dozen oak logs he had to put into the mud? I keep saying I'm going to mount a weight activated timer under my processor seat and see how much time I actually spend in the seat verses setting up, fueling, loading logs onto deck, clearing jambs and moving splits away. You need to get looking at farm sales for a grain or hay elevator and I'll send you videos on how to set it up.
Thanks for the tips! I definitely have to add an elevator or two to the operation to help with efficiency. The trees will definitely slow down the drying process.
I have a little Hudson badger with the winch in feed. I’m really happy I get tree length and not the pulp size like you guys. It would take way too much time pulling the winch cable out every time you cut just a few cuts. But that’s some
Beauty looking stuff!
We could process faster with some 16’ logs but this will do pretty well on the Dyna. I definitely see your point with the winch infeed though.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I’ve been eyeing a skid steer mounted processor and the 8 foot stuff is perfect for that
@@user-fz6kx4bz3t yes it would be!
Perhaps use a pallet bin similar to what Chris does. It'd be interesting to see how the oak dries versus totes. Would save money on totes too! The dyna would be able to conveyor directly into the bin. This is definitely intriguing!!!
I have a Wallenstein processor with a conveyor attached. Trouble with the conveyor is that they are really meant to dump into trailers or totes and be moved away. A processor will build a pile pretty quickly and moving the processor is a time consumer. I put a 30 or 40' foot conveyor off my attached conveyor to get the splits away. I sometimes just use my tractor and push the splits away from the end of the conveyor and push into a tall pile with tractor. This means time out of the processor seat though. I also have another setup and dump into a dump trailer then move it away and dump. It all takes time so I like the longer conveyor and just make a tall stack. PS, I only deal in ash which dries very easily and I'm in a windy location.
Thanks, we’ll definitely have to figure something out. We are in the middle of woods too so we don’t get the wind or nearly as much sun so the bigger piles may not dry as well.
Uh oh! Hank (?) has wood, and Rachel is scared!!
Lol
Nothing scares her.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoorsI believe that!!
60 face cord times 120 mines 2700 cost 4.500 profit not bad.
I think we’ll do pretty good for sure!
Very nice load of logs. Great investment and perfect to run thru the Dyna. Looking forward to you dialing it in and days of mass production.👍🪵🙂
Thanks Jimbo I agree!
You definitely need a second load, I get 12 cords and I paid a lot more than what you mention, but I scaled the wood before he unloads usually I get half a cord on my side of the scale.
Thanks, already placed my order!
Rachel looks good in shorts.
Yes she does.
Chris in the woodyard says thar you can get about 2.75 face chords per pulp chord of wood.
Thanks, that’s about what I was guessing.
I would say some where about about 40 cords
Thanks Jeff.
🎉
If you can get a load of ash it should be ready by winter.
Jimmie I’d love a load of ash this size!
Logging you got are for firewood
Yep!
You're doing it right. Its not worth our rime to harvest firewood and sell it. Allow yourself 15% loss on the cord log. $135 a cord, you did well. We pay $175 delivered.
Yeah I still like harvesting but this will be a nice addition.
$2700 usd is worth the money if you have it then Pay for the oak Logs, Would Raise your Prices if Fuel increases in your State Michigan,
Thanks, prices just keep going up.
Chris pays about the same as you did per cord. You'll get betwren 2.5 and 2.7 facecord per log cord. All depends on how much trash you get from wedge. Straight logs make less trash than the snake wood.
Definitely, these seem to be pretty straight forward the most part.
$2,700 for 20 cord; If one sells at $330 a cord, that would be $6,600 (144% increase). Now let's say you take that $2,700 and invest in a bank CD at 5%......
I'll go with a truck load everytime! Just a little more work - lol
More work but more fun. Plus we sell for $450/cord for now but may be more by the time this is ready to go.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors $450 per cord... even BETTER!! 233% return on investment. I would get a couple more loads :)
in western ny oak is hard to sell everyone wants maple ash and cherry
It’s funny how different areas are.
That is an impressive load of logs and will keep you both ready for quite awhile. That truck driver was a smooth operator, was his name Heath also? See you in a week.
I’m not sure what his name was, but he was a smooth operator for sure!
What is the length of the pile?
Just Subscribed to your Channel. It's a Beautiful load of Oak Logs. That is an excellent price on it. I get a Half Load of Hardwood Logs from my Tree Service. Oak both Red and White, Locust, Maple, and Cherry. I do not sell it but Burn it Myself and get about 4cords out of it. Very Clean Wood I do get as you do. You will get at least 20Cords out of that. I dry mine outside and Tarped in the Rain. I have been thinking of Selling some in Bundles, not until next Year. Get to Subscribe to your Channel. More to Follow my Friend. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
Hi Ron! Welcome to the channel 😊
The pile is quite high, may present a problem.
It is quite hi but I should be able to work it with my tractor, it’s pretty big.
WOW ! Nice load of Oak. Will you be stacking it to find out how many cords or does the Dyna calculate it? My guess would be between 16-17 cords.
Tim, the Dyna does not calculate. Not sure what our plan is to see what we get but o don’t want to stack this much lol.
looks like you need a mini 🤷♂
Shut your mouth
For sure it’s the next logical step.
what do you consider the best camp fire wood?
I like a mix of different types. Some soft maple, poplar, pine, or other nice flame throwing easy lighting wood mixed with some cherry, oak, or hickory for a longer lasting fire. Half the fun of a campfire is tending it and throwing more wood on as well as the aroma and flame it puts off.
all i can say is GET IN THERE !! LOL... im gonna guess you/ll lose couple cord processing from what it actually says it is on the truck. 135 a cord isnt bad. but then depends on how fast you process it. the longer you wait/take the longer your profit will come to your pocket. if it was me i would at least split half the load as in 1 truck dolly/s worth. so that way its curing. thats gonna take ALOT of fuel oil mix and gas in order to cut and split plus your using deisel for tractor. so in all reality it might of been cheaper just to order already split firewood and let it cure. and then go out and cut your own also still. i know with your setup i wouldnt wanna tackle 20 cord load. problem is also that truck weighed so much he couldnt go in any further in your drive. i would of had him unhook and put the logs right where your gonna be working. double handling them isnt fun. but it will be a daunting task to move split and tote all of that. you figure the extra 80 to 100 dollars per cord your gonna have just that much work betwen fuel costs etc when could of just bought cords of wood for 200$+/cord already split.
Should run through the Dyna pretty well. We sell our mixed hardwood for $450/cord so we should get more for this since it’s all oak and it’ll be another year or 2 down the road. Not much available around here for $200/cord.
I'm guessing 47 to 52 face cords from my experience
Thanks!
