i guess it is quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
Just used my pump today. I love them for big gas jugs
nice box john
Thanks FNJ. It is a very well thought out product.
Thanks for another great video 👍
You bet BH! Thanks for watching
Joe your so funny with your box on the Tractor
LOL Glad you liked it Harry!
Your getting good with that tractor, smooth operator 👌
Slow steady progress Matt!
Joe you are doing a great job,!
Thanks Duncan!
Another great video. Informative, yet entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it Glenn. The tractor really does feel more stable with the ballast. I'm glad you guys talked me in to it. Stay out of the heat this week!
Good morning from Wisconsin Joe. Take the remaining 2 bags and put them in the box, still closed. Then if you need to put something else in the box just take out a bag.
Good idea Keith. Thanks!
I'm not sure why you 🤔 opened any of the bags...
I just put sand bags in mine. Just add amount of sand to them that you are comfortable moving. Makes it easy to add and remove weight.
Keep up the good work...
Thanks Andy. I'm wondering if the day will come when I want to empty it. Have to wait and see. Joe
Seems pretty firmly planted with the additional weight. I was laughing at the endless pile of stuff that you had in there. 🤣 That was a nice touch of humor. Nice work!
Thanks for the nice comment Hobby!
That was a very entertaining video
Thanks Mike!
One log at a time? Joe thats very inefficient. I agree, with Maxime
It is not a bother to me. It gives me more time on the tractor. I'm not in a hurry to get off.
Bag or box of rocks, easy and cheap and it works
Counter weight on front of my Long Tractor is water at 260 lbs.
Hi from Canada, slow down and feather your hydraulics Joe, your tractor will love you for that, so will your back from all the bouncing around. Patience and experience will pay off.
I have been improving. Smooth is a good indicator of experience. Joe
Sorry Elvis, time to find a new home! Glad the Ballast Box worked for you, Joe!
LOL... Elvis will always have a home at OWB! Thanks so much to Titan Attachments for being such a great company to work with. Keep it up guys!
Joe, they are all heavy ash logs 🤪😂👍
The ballast box, sounds like a great place to store heavy golf clubs!
Yes!
Hilarious, never saw Elvis coming
I about fell on the floor when you pulled the cat out of the box lol great video Joe
Same here.. 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, I can't dump the rocks on top of him! LOL
elvis has left the box . oh my word that was funny , from joe too joe ( Hysterically laughing )
Thanks Joe! It was fun to make too!
Sounds like we had the same high school guidance counsellor. 😂
LOL Craig. We all had one
@@ohiowoodburner Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. No, we didn't all have them. Career counselling hadn't been invented when I was at school. It was never mentioned and, if it had been, there would have been a room of blank faces because we wouldn't have had had a clue what it meant!
I think you could easily load 3-4 logs at a time if you want to go faster ! Especially after getting the counterweight box
I would but that would mean I would be done on the tractor faster! LOL. I enjoy my time in the seat and am not in a hurry!
I really enjoy your tips, and seeing your processes in the daily work!
👍Thanks!👍
Thanks Mike!
Hey Pretty cool video . Thanks. Craig. H burg
Glad you enjoyed it Craig!
Hi Joe, Not to put the cart before the horse, could you have put some of those bags in whole, so if you didn't need all that ballast you could take a couple of bags out and then put some of the things you took out back in.
I had thought of that. I think dumping them in maximizes space. I still have the other two if I want to toss them on top. Joe
Ladies and Gentlemen.... Elvis has left the ballast box.
Excellent!
Nice touch of humor with all your treasures in the box! Always look forward to your videos!
Thank you very much Charlie!
Rocks in the box
Indeed it is Larry!
Hi Joe, Elaine from Canada. Sorry..I can’t comment now - laughing too hard!!🤣
LOL. This was a lot of fun to make!
when your cylinder seals start leaking you will become a lot smoother on your controls so it doesn’t bounce like that
I guess that is all part of my learning curve. I will get there one day.
Good work to see ballast box filled now you can getter done
You got that right Kent!
Just a thought you could put the other 2 bags in the box just leave them in the plastic bags and if you need to take them out it would just be a matter of lifting them out. Just a thought.
I think I could do that. At least one would fit without falling off.
Another great video! You will be happy with "the box of rocks!". It will make loading much safer.
I can really feel the difference.
Evening Joe, Now just fill your tires !
I want to keep my tractor lite so I can mow in the summer. My yard is very soft Pete!
Joe, Absolutely Titan has been wonderful here also, Titan, Grapple, Stump bucket, Tooth bucket, Rock Bucket and Pallet Forks her and worked Hard! Great Company! Ps try loading to deck at Idle, a lot easier on the tractor. 🚜🪵👍🏼🇱🇷
Couldn't agree more! Titan Attachments is an awesome company to deal with. Love them. I was told to keep my RPMs up given its a Tier 4. You think I should idle down when loading?
Joe, the tier 4 engine like in my bobcat should idle up on its own when needed, even so to be smooth, always idle back as begin loading the table, tractors can tear up things very Quick, Take Care, and good choice on the ballast box🚜🪵👍🏼🇱🇷
I was gonna say: "and the cat" XD
The kitty is not good ballast but he does great controlling the mouse population!
OMG Joe! That was a hilarious video. Especially when you said “ I have a big heavy Ash log” I thought you said something else. Keep up the good work!
LOL Mike. No cussing on this channel!
Love the bottomless ballast box. Had me thinking for a bit.
It is like a clown car. Very big inside!
Sure do love that tractor, Joe! Hopefully the kitty cat can find another spot to ride! Thanks! -Brad
I started charging him fare so he quit riding.
Hi Joe from Northampton England. I think from my years using machine you have got your revs too high lower them and you will help the hydraulic S and make things smoother, I probably would have left the pea shingle in the bags , but hey no criticism,life a learning curve🚜
This is a Tier 4 diesel Bob and I was told to keep the RPMs up when in use to help the emissions. I had though of leaving the rocks in their bag but I thought loose I could fit more in it. Thanks for watching from the UK!!
Weather is crazy here right now too. Switching from sunny to snow several times a day!!!
Crazy time of the year indeed!
Smart move on the ballast Joe! Still enjoying these video’s, keep up the good work....
More to come!
Great idea for balist.. you can put calcium in the back tires to help with the bounce aswell
I want to keep my tractor lite so I can mow in the summer. My yard is very soft.
Pour some water in the box !
I didn`t feel I had a need for the tool holder pipes. So I filled them with gravel also. I have a gravel driveway and always have extra for patching etc. So I had plenty to fill the box. Scooped it up with tractor bucket and dumped it into the box. Then hooked box to the tractor. Love the receiver hitch. Move my trailer quite often.
That is probably where the other 1.3 cf is at. I left them empty but they do have weep holes in them.
👌
Thanks TB!
I think I have bought 40 or so bags of that exact pea gravel for my wood yard. Great for erosion control!
I asked the cashier if they could send me a young stock boy with a strong back to help me put them into the truck. She said it would be a while... LOL. I just did it myself. Gotta love big box stores.
Looking good Joe amazing what a little weight on the back will do. I'm still just using what ever various implement I happen to have on the tractor just have to be careful when backing up. Take care brother!
I had thought of that bc I have a 6 ft tiller I could use, it is very heavy but it takes up so much space that I would be smashing stuff with it. LOL
This the season Joe. My wife works in derm and cuts a lot of nasty stuff off guys ears. Don’t forget them when applying spf. Have a great day and thanks for the video.
I'm always careful in the sun. I have had some issues in the past as well.
Good morning from Grand Forks
Hi Dean!
I had a local guy, Kolsum TIre, fill my mini tractor's rear tires with something they called calcium mix. That really stabilized my tractor and strengthened the ground engagement. Kolsum is another N.E. Ohio resource. A side effect was extreme cross slope stability.
I want to keep my tractor lite so I can mow with it. My yard is very soft.
I have the same box but in red (now orange to match the Kioti).
Its a little small for the bigger framed 35-40 hp tractors. Perfect sized for sub compacts
It is a very well designed unit. I'm very impressed with it. Joe
Are your tires loaded?
You had my wife and I chuckling Joe. I was waiting for you to pull a rabbit out of the ballet box
If I could catch one i would have Rocky!
I was amazed at how much storage space the ballast box has.
There was a lotta stuff in there.
It was like a clown car. Has a lot of space!
Well now that we all know you have a cat.. Getting rocks was much better than sand.. The cst would love sand.. Lol🤣😜👍
Good call.... mobile litter box! UGh
Bottomless box... Elvis has left the counter balance
Ding ding ding...Quote of the day goes to Clint!
I like your new video the moming you did a really good jop this will work really good for you buddy this is nice firewood buddy good jop the moming 🔥
Thanks 👍 TC!
Joe, another thing you should do, Is have your tires filled with Balast, it would add another 1000 pounds of rear weight.
I want to keep my tractor lite so I can mow in the summer. My yard is very soft.
Good stuff Joe. Gravel was the way to go. You could fashion a lid for the box. Or maybe they have one available. Also thanks for the laugh! I really needed it today.
Thanks for the comment Tagg. It was a lot of fun to do.
New tractor owners and crane operators certainly do learn about counter weight really quick once those back wheels lift of the ground on that first big lift. I would think that camera operator Emily would be rolling her eyes at your sense of humour. LOL
We mostly stood an looked at each other thinking what else could we put in there!
You are hilarious 🤣 We had such great laughs with this video!! Wonderful sense of humor 👏 😍 We really enjoy your videos!!
Thanks so much Dianne!
Thanks so much Dianne!
@@ohiowoodburner Thank YOU!! 😊
You should really sale firewood through the mail...I know of a grocery chain that sales 400 pallets of firewood but keeps running out...they can't get enough.
Everything but the kitchen sink I see HA HA Hey, what is this?
I’ve tried another ballast and the hitch receiver bent downward when I was pulling my dump trailer. Have you had any issues with your titan ballast box? Are you pulling your dump trailer with it?
It has worked fine. I regularly pull my dump trailer fully loaded with it. Please use my link if you plan to buy one
titanattachments.sjv.io/n16Aa9
I think we know some of the same people (high school counselors)
I'm from aurora (Geauga Lake area)
I deliver wood to Aurora. Nice town.
My grandfather told me that if ya want to know how to do something in a efficient way. Ask a lazy person. ;)
I think there is some truth to that!
Yes !! Bananas !! Another great video Joe !!
Thanks Doug!
Even free shipping on a grapple?!?! 😜
Yup... Makes them easier to buy!
Joe take a bag of sand and add it to your rocks. It will vibrate and fill little voids between the rocks. Just a suggestion.
Interesting Kurt. That may actually work!1
Hi Joe, I think you should raise the counterweight box about 10 inches.
I'm not familiar with the physics. Would this make the tractor even more stable?
No. That raises the center of gravity. Fluid
In the tires doesn’t. And doesn’t make the tractor sea saw
Should have filled the counter weight with concrete
I had thought about that but seems too permanent to me. Which is funny bc will I ever want to empty this? Dunno...
I think you had more weight in the box the first time around Joey Poppins! I ordered a scratch and dent 3 point trailer receiver from Titan attachments for a pretty big discount. What I got was a perfectly good item with no scratches or dents. So I was happy with it and will be ordering more from them in the future!
They are an excellent company. You can use my affiliate link in the description and I get a small commission. Joe
Are you running the tractor in 2 or 4 wheel drive while loading?2 wheel drive will really tell you the difference the ballast makes when the rubber hits the road in dry ground conditions like that.That ballast box sticks out a fair piece,adding even more downward pressure.Plus,pea gravel is reusable,good idea.
I leave it in 2wd especially on pavement. I only put it in 4wd when I need to.
Awesome Joe, yeah I feel your pain I been told a lot of things in my passed as well but I some how able to do things right. Yeah no more bouncey bounce, but I still think that ice and some cold drinks would have been better lol 😝
We could insulate the ballast box and make a cooler out of it!
@@ohiowoodburner That, or just strap on on top of it that would work.
You will be able to put more weight and stress on the loader now. The counterweight takes weight from the front wheels. That is the good part about it and giving you more traction.
I had already noticed the change. The ballast works great!
Do you have bio ballast in the tires?
I do not. I want to keep my tractor lite so I can mow in the summer. My yard is very soft.
@@ohiowoodburner I see I don’t mow my yard with my compact. The bio ballast and box scrapper is plenty of ballast for me.
Joe, do you have liquid in your tires? That helps a lot as well.
I do not have the tires filled. I wanted to keep the tractor lite bc I want to mow with it in the summer. My yard is very soft.
@@ohiowoodburner Joe, you should consider changing to turf tires as they are much easier on grass.
@@ohiowoodburner I had my ground engaging tires liquid filled ( the chevron stlyle ), I also bought extra rims and turf tires for mowing.
Hi there,
Without getting too technical, what is an average day cost you in fuel? Regular medium-duty work not all nose to grindstone type of work. So anyways, would love to hear what your overall thoughts about this platform and any numbers you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi Narb. Part of my story is my new "job" is in rebellion to my 22+ year corporate job. There are some things i don't do simply because I don't want to like thorough analysis of my numbers, trends, expenses etc LOL. I know it sounds counter intuitive to a well run company (Like OWB I hope) but I see my bank account growing and my customers are satisfied so that is good enough for me now LOL. I don't know what my operating costs are for the Bobcat but I know they are very low. I have put 15 gallons of fuel in it since I purchased it. I only move logs with it so each session is over pretty quick. JOe
Do you always talk about Joe from Michigan for Joe’s premium firewood
I'm pretty sure I have never spoken about JPF Joe on my channel. If I did I would have spoken positively.
I had a guidance counselor as well, complete waste of oxygen he was. I told him this is my 3rd high-school and my parents never moved not once so who knows how long I'll be here. That was that....oh I have the same transfer pump for years it works awesome . Great video
LOL...amazing how things turn out. Thanks for the comment!
I've used several of the battery-powered fuel pumps, but they didn't last, so I picked up a Tera 3rd Gen pump with auto-cutoff. Just my two cents.
czcams.com/video/-8gsjYurQCA/video.html
With the ballast box full, you might be able to move two smaller logs at a time.
I do move multiple but when we film it seems I always move one at a time prob to get more footage to include. Joe
Joe, another comment...
I noticed the way you peeled the last log off the forks...
Seems to me that would be the preferred method, it looked a lot easier on the deck than dropping those heavy logs.
They get bunched up there if you do it to them all. In this case I was trying to position by species so I had to dump where I could. Joe
I bet dead car batteries would work good.
Probably would. Ironically that is the only type of battery I own LOL
You actually have more than 500lbs 0f counterweight, since it is extended back, away from the the fulcrum(rear tires) and not directly behind them.
Interesting. Regardless the change is very noticeable!
They could design a lid with tool box for the top of the ballast box. I was amazed at how many things you had stored in the empty box 🤔
LOL I had it packed with fun stuff. And a cat!
Привет Джо хороший противовес с нем безопасно работать👍
Противовес - большое улучшение характеристик Bobcat. Чувствует себя очень стабильно. Джо
You need to get a grapple attachment for your bobcat.
grapples are great, forks weigh less so you can lift more log weight
Someday Steve!
Use less revs and one gear higher when manoeuvring the tractor like that and the whole outfit will be smoother and less jerky to operate.
I would but this is a Tier 4 diesel and I'm supposed to keep the RPMs up to avoid emissions probs. It has an HST transmission
LOL!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Roger!
@@ohiowoodburner I watched again. I was laughing so loud when the cat came out that my dogs were looking at me with concern.
Loading in alphabetical order
Interesting. I never noticed Eric!
Awesome video, got a kick out of all the stuff in the box. That log deck does that have a weight limit. I'm asking cause I never see anyone stack the logs. Seems like to me if you stacked it would be more time efficient.
I'm sure it has a limit but I don't think I could exceed it. It is very heavy built. I do stack them but in this case today I was just placing some logs for the camera. Joe
Another good video, you will like that ballast box. One question: what size wheel borrows do you use?
I use the 6cf steel tray AM Leonard. Best wheelbarrow in the world. Made in Ohio and they will mail it right to your house.
Your links don't work says "offer expired", bummer
Try this one

Thanks Ron
G'day Joe, my high school careers councillors advice for me was to get a job With the roads board filling in potholes, at the time my mother was the personal secretary for the local federal member of parliament and my father was a justice of peace and the mayor.i asked if I could get a second opinion? Anyway many years later I was filling in this pothole with gravel on a road about a half mile long when it hit me she was right !! The only difference being I owned the road 👍. Can you link that fuel transfer pump that runs on D cells to me please thanks Andrew the Ishman Ure 🇦🇺.
Great story Ish! When I some day travel to Australia I will look you up... Unless we are both in aged care homes by then LOL
here is the link for the pump www.amazon.com/dp/B00318D7K8?ref=exp_ohiowoodburnerltd_dp_vv_d
No worries Joe you and yours are more than welcome, keep up the the physical work. Ancient Chinese proverb he who keeps building is kept alive 👍 I think I read that in a fortune cookie.
I clicked on the link and it said currently unavailable 😞
Morning Joe lazy u r not from what I see u do what u need to do when u need to do it if that makes sense. I cannot get myself going it is always tomorrow. Well tomorrow never comes. When we r ready we get it done u till next time be safe.
I do have my lazy days... I had a big head ache yesterday that slowed me down
I noticed you run a few 1/2 ton f150 do you like the size of that truck for hauling and have you thought about jumping up to a 3/4? I’ve been thinking of testing the waters out and seeing if a bigger superduty might be better for hauling and towing. Good stuff as always joe.
Small trucks are the way to go for us. I can get 20+ mpg in them. My style is to keep small, no heavy loads. I can make more money that way
@@ohiowoodburner that’s what my set up is too same truck just 4x4 eco boost.
I was waiting for 20 clowns to come climbing out of your ballast box!!! I hear ya about the numbers: Math and I had a falling out in the 8th grade, and now whenever we run into each other, it gets ugly (and I have a Science degree - go figure!!)!!!!
I'm horrible with numbers. I cant even use a calculator effectively.
