This Ain't Your Grandpa's Brush Hog

If there was ever a Swiss Army knife of Brush Cutters, this has got to be it. I'm out in the Lane Shark LS-4 Brush Cutter today cutting back overhanging branches and mowing some tall grass along my trails. With a big rural property like mine, trail maintenance is always something I"m out doing. Lucky for me this brush cutter allows me to retire the pole saw and enjoy the A/C and sludge inside m...

Picking Up Sticks on my Forest Trails without Lifting a Finger

If you've got trails like me, you know what a pain it can be to keep sticks and debris off them. For years I'd walk around throwing sticks off the trails almost daily it seemed until I found out about landscape rakes. These things sure are something else and are my go-to for keeping my trails clear of debris and smooth. Landscape rake shown in this video: MK Martin 84" (7') Landscape Rake www.f...

Saving Time Sawing Three Logs at Once

Drastic times calls for drastic measures. With more logs than I know what to do with, the time is now to start sawing multiple logs at a time if I ever hope to stay ahead of my red pine thinning plan. With logs mostly the same size, I think I've finally turned a page and can now consistently achieve good cutting while minimizing waste cutting multiple logs at once. Sawmill shown in this video: ...

    I love those portable garages. Every time I lose one to a tree or snow load I'm forced to replace it with another building . All lumber comes from my HM130. Waiting for a good sale so I can buy another one. I've already got the spot ready under a heavy leaning red maple. Trick is to never store anything valuable in them. My wife will never catch on

Farm labor here doesn't require high insurances and so more leeway for lower labor costs. Just a thought Sandy

    @ronkonder115 Před dnem

    It looks nice but you didn't fix the problem. The high side are the issue not the center. Go wider knocking down the sides, build up the middle. The water will flow off the road. When pulling down the road the side of the land plane with the blades in the lead will move the dirt to the center. You need a crown to get rid of the water issues. Also a layer of gravel is badly needed! Try to be helpful not trying to criticize hopefully you take this that way!

  • @carolewarner101
    @carolewarner101 Před 2 dny

    Yeah, why DID you change from that one to the vertical splitter anyway? It's WAY more expensive and you had such a great set up with it pushing the split pieces straight into the tote cage, so you actually handled the wood less with that old setup it seemed. I know you've talked about the control you have with the vertical splitter, but as long as we can fit it in our wood stove I really don't care if my split logs are "pretty." Though I'm thinking that you sell cord wood, so that may be more important to you? In any event, since we need to come up with our own small-scale firewood setup soon, we've very interested in all the details about why you decided to change and whether it's made that big a difference for your scenario. Also whether you think that would apply to a homesteader who is NOT selling cord wood. Many thanks for all your great content!

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy Před 2 dny

      Good question. I like both the ultra and the axis but I think the axis is a bit more versatile since it allows you to place the wedge right where you want the split to go. With the horizontal splitter there is a little less control since the flat pusher often determines where the round will get pushed into the wedge. The 4 way wedge on the ultra is nice however if you don't have a lot of wood with big knots in it and the rounds aren't too large. If the rounds are too large then the ultra will require you to split a few times to break down the larger rounds. On the axis the larger rounds are easily handled as you control where the wedge goes through the round. both machines have good working height so that's not an issue. both have large working area. Axis has the advantage of the conveyor option and the log lift. The log lift I don't use as often as I do the conveyor which I find is a huge game changer. I like the versality of the conveyor and how it allows the wood to drop from a height so it spreads out nicely in the IBC cages. Wood falling off the end of my ultra did go into the IBC cage but it didn't disperse as well as the conveyor.

Result varied. Many lost to wind damage.. im glad i didnt. Im 70 and have been thinning for 5 years cut nearly 20 th feet. And it felt good then you said you could only do 5 trees a day.

      I’m not 100% but I believe what makes the third function kit I have a bit different is it is continuous flow so the hydraulic fluid doesn’t flow back through the valve but instead goes directly to the tractor sump which keeps the system from having any issue with hydraulic fluid temperature increase
