Yessir my friend, you’re welcome and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

Pretty much yes. Once we decide which side we want them to work on. That’s pretty much where they stay. Now, we do work our mules single quite a bit. And in three and four abreast hitches. So they’re used to being in different configurations. They just stay on the same side when working with their mate. If you break them right in the beginning, I haven’t found a need to swap them around. They’ll work wherever you put them. Anyway, hope this answers your question. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment: take care and do come again, please

Hello Mr Donald. Glad to have ya here with us. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. And tell me about yourself. Glad to have some old hands around. Never know when ya could learn something. So thank you! Take care and do come again, please!

Awesome, thank you!! Glad to hear from you my friend. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please

The sorrel colts aren’t mine. They belong to Mr Summers and he’s training them now. My colts are black like Kate and Alice. And I’ll be starting them soon as my harness for them comes in. Thank you for the kind words my friend and thanks for taking time to watch and comment as always. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Thx and take care my friend

@@zachodom7486 Zack, I'll be just as happy to see you training the blacks. I heard a story once about horses,, mules, and donkeys and it goes like this. If you had an accident with all 3 ,the horses would know they were in an accident, the mules would know where the accident happened but the donkeys would remember who was driving the truck. Keep hitting that tree and nearly nocking me out of my recliner.HaHa.Ill be watching fer ya. God bless ya, real good.

@@WallaceBrown-dj2gm ha ha, yes, sir that sounds about right.

Yessir yw! And ty for taking time to watch and comment. Ty for the kind words and blessings!! Take care and do come again, please!!

Great! I’m glad ya enjoyed it and thank you sir. Thanks for watching and commenting also. Take care my friend and do come again, please

My wife is Marcy. She’s in the blue jeans ☺️

@@zachodom7486 she is nice looking, I think you married up,lol.

@@user-wr1yh2zw6lmost definitely did. 🥰 and thank you

Haha, thank you and thanks for watching! Take care of yourself and holler if ya need me. Love you 😘

You might be right. Horses were prominent up north and mules more prominent down south statistically speaking. Heat has a lot to do with it also. Anyway, sorry ya couldn’t sleep! Maybe next time will be better for sure! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment as always. Take care my friend and do come again, anytime.

Yessir, grew up doing both farming and logging. There are a lot of similarities and struggles. Thanks for the kind words and thx for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again!

Yessir buddy I believe that. Thanks for the kind words and for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again please

Yessir, it pays to be these days and in this economy with the way timber prices are and the ever rising input costs. I do almost all my own maintenance on all of my stuff. It pays to be able to do things yourself. Pa always told me, “if ya watch your Pennie’s, your dollars will take care of themselves.” Anyway, thank you sir for the kind words and thanks for watching and commenting. Take care my friend and do come again.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thank you sir, and likewise! Thx for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care my friend and do come again please

I really like the sugi bars! I have them on all my saws now. Compared to the Stihl light weight bar, they’re cheaper. About $25-30 cheaper. My saws balance really nice with the 25” light weights also. Thanks for the question and also taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please!

Thank you so much for all the kind words and encouragement! In a world we live in now, it’s refreshing to have people here that are polite and encouraging. I’ve tried to create a clean fun atmosphere here where people can come, relax, hangout, and have fun all while learning too. So thank you for your support. On the saws, they are all 2 strokes, however…when you set the high speed mixture you want to lean it out and then back rich until it starts “4 stroking.” Because when you load it in the wood, it’ll lean out a little and flatten back out. During the break-in though, I was loading it enough to flatten out. Which was good! I’m going to start cutting timber with it full bore and I’ll turn it on up to where he’ll eat. But in the beginning it’s best to ease into it. If there is a problem, you’ll catch it before it becomes a major problem if that makes sense. And on the skid steer window, I need to replace it bad. The guy I bought it from done some mulching with it, and it’s scratched and hazed up bad. It’s on my list to do! Anyway, thanks again and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

Yessir you’re welcome! I enjoy tinkering with them. Heck, I could probably make a full time living just working on saws lol. I’m always tinkering on my own and others saws. Thanks for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!

Not necessarily daily. Just when it needs it. And sometimes it’s quicker than other times lol. Depending on if I hit something such as rocks, metal in a tree, or simply get it in the dirt. If I don’t hit anything or whatnot and just cut timber normally…then I’ll touch it up at the end of the day. If I don’t cut a lot with it, then I’ll just let it go another day. I keep a few chains with me in the woods, and when one gets dinged or whatnot, I’ll swap it out and keep trucking. Then sharpen it when I get home. To save time. Anyway, hope this answers your question. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!

Haha! Yessir I guess you could say that lol. Nah, I just don’t wanna ruin it if something isn’t quite right. I can break him in easy. Do piston and cylinder inspections before I turn it on up. And then start cutting timber with it. If that makes sense anyway. Thank you sir for the prayers and your dedication to praying for me! That means more than anything anyone could do for me! I surely appreciate it. Thank you very much! And thank you again, for taking time to watch and comment as always. You’re a true jewel my friend! Thank you and do come again, please

Thank you sir! I like it so far…time will tell. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care and do come again, please

Yes, for sure! I’m glad you understand. We just had to take the good with the bad as you say. Thank you for such kind words… And taking time to watch and comment take care of yourself, and do come again, please.

Yes, sir, I do believe that with all my heart. We are to be good stewards over the things that God has blessed us with. Our animals included. And I also believe that if an animal is going to work for you, then you need to do all you can to take care of it and feed it well. Thank you so much for the kind words, my friend and always taking time to watch and comment on my videos. Your dedication to my channel is very important to me. So thank you! Take care of yourself and do come again, please

Thank you, buddy! I’m glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for the kind words as always. And thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Your dedication to my channel is important to me. Take care my friend and do come again.

Yeah, if you have the market for it. We do not. And it takes too much time. I would rather not fool with either one. But it is a byproduct and has to be dealt with. Pallet for me is a lot easier and quicker thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

@@zachodom7486 ah I got a pretty good market for it I get 250 a cord. I think worth the extra time but I'm young I say give it a few years I be giving up on it

Yeah, that good. I’m getting $0.35 per ft on my pallet wood which is good for this area we’re in. So it works out fair for me right now. And I don’t have to handle it much. I use to do firewood years ago. But not anymore

​@@benbaker989that's good money for fire wood it's about 80 a face cord here

Tie logs and pallet wood will go to the same mill. Grade logs will go to a different mill. You can only make stave out of White Oak. And on this job, there is no white Oak. The only grade we will have will be red oak grade. It does pay a little more than an average tie log per foot; but not a whole lot more. Markets right now are really tight! And one has to watch every single penny… thank you for the question! And thank you as always for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

What will they make out of that red oak

@@thomasneill6858it’ll go into sawn lumber. Different dimensions. The market on red oak grade isn’t as good as say white oak or black walnut. But it’s better than a straight cross tie log if that makes sense. Lot of red oak goes into furniture material and hardwood flooring. Some gets shipped over seas also.

Thank you! And I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

@@zachodom7486 so possibly a dumb question but this is my first medium duty truck i am working on and i dont have equipment to pick up the spoke/drum assembly i am about to tear into the rear brakes. Anyways can i take nuts off of the spokes and split the spokes from the drums and take them off separate after i have take the axle nuts off? Hope that made sense

@@Dylan07-59yessir that makes perfect sense. Only thing is, those are bolts and not studs. So probably when your start to loosen them, the heads are gonna spin. Probably. You’re best bet, would probably be put a floor jack under it to relive some pressure and maybe get a couple people to help you slide it off. You can split the spokes and drum, but again the bolt head will probably turn on ya. And ya can’t get to the heads with it on the truck. So…hope this helps ya some kinda way.

@@zachodom7486 okay that makes sense thank you! Keep up that good videos and thanks for responding to me. I live in east TN good to see a fellow tennessean on the youtube

@@Dylan07-59awesome, you’re welcome!

Ha ha, probably so! I hope at least lol. Thank you for the laugh and the kind words. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

Ha ha that's funny

I am definitely happy! The good Lord has blessed me far beyond what I deserve. Thank you!

They are logs that railroad cross ties will be sewn out of. Thank you for the question. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again, please

Thank you kindly my friend! I surely appreciate it. Means a lot to me. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!

Ms Judy, I sure will. I’m sorry to hear that, but I will def be praying specifically for you and your husband. I can imagine how difficult that could be at times for sure. Thank you for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!

Sent one up for you and your husband.

Awesome! 😎 glad ya enjoyed it and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care my friend and do come again, please!

Awesome! 😎 always glad to hear from the older hands. I’m sure my day will come when I can no longer work in the woods. Until then, I’ll do my best to be thankful for the opportunity. It’s work sometimes and tiresome. But I am thankful to have the opportunity to do it! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!

That is a good idea, but I don’t have time to process it. And most folks here cut their own. I have offered it free to anyone who would come get it. But no one has ever showed up lol. You can’t hardly give it away here. So that’s why I don’t even try to do anything with it. Sometimes we will clean up tops for the landowner with the skid steer and burn them. But it’s a separate deal from the logging stuff. Thank you again, for taking time to watch and comment!!

That is right! I have two 046’s, this 461, and an 066. I am the same as you… Just rebuild them and keep on trucking. Thank you for the kind words! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please

Thank you, sir! Most of all my stuff is used, but I get along good with it. And it is good equipment as you say. Just used I like to take the old stuff and rebuild it. Thank you for the kind words, my friend and also thank you for taking time to comment as always. Take care and do come again, please

A tie log that I am referring to is used to make cross ties for the railroad. It is usually cut like 8x10x9’ long at the mill.

Thank you, sir! I really appreciate it. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

I am glad you enjoyed it! That makes it work doing.

I can understand that for sure!

Me 2 LOL

Thank you ma’am! Once he has broken in good, I will turn him on up and it’ll run even smoother. Anyway, thank you so much for the kind words and for taking time to watch and comment always. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care and do come again, please.

Thank you, sir! I really do appreciate it. That machine has truly been a game changer and a blessing to me. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again, please

That is awesome! You sound like me… They survivor for sure with very little! Lol. Thank you so much for sharing with me and also the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to comment as always. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Thank you so much, take care and do come again, please

I understand that, lol. Thank you again!

I do on grade when I can. It just depends on how it works out. If they’re too big, 16’ is too hard for us to handle. If they’re 20-22” type stuff, and I can…I’ll cut em 16’. Fact I just got some out yday. We lose our prime pay if they’re not at 10’. Pay is the same from 10-16’. So it doesn’t pay to cut em longer unless you’re trying to stack footage on the truck, and or save time on bucking saw logs. But again, on the real big stuff…we simply can’t handle it when it gets that big. Because most of our grade are the butt cuts. Uppers are ties. Ties are cut 9’ and 18’. All pallet here is cut 9, 12, and 14’. So that’s most of the reasoning there buddy. Hope it helps answer ya question: and thx for asking! Thanks also for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please

Yes, this saw would have went in the trash bin if I hadn’t have gotten it. I am always glad to breathe life back into these old saws. It makes me feel good, and I also love the older saws. Plus I get a new saw for about half the price of a new one. And my built saws are a whole lot better than a mew one. In my humble opinion anyway.
