I appreciate the channels that aren't sponsored and do their thing with what they have - scrappy. It's what I do on my channel: showing viewers you don't need fancy to make quality wood on a budget - just like what you do, Jeremiah. It may take more time but it works for us. Keep cuttin' buddy!
I agree Travis! Right on brother. I appreciate ya👍🎄👍
That tractor sure did make the process easier on your body! You have a good setup Jeremiah! Keep up the great work!
Tyler
Yes it sure did! Thank you Tyler!!👍👍
Learning how to make do with what you have is the most important thing in life to me 😊
Well said!👊👍
Great video! It’s good to show folks that it can be done with regular equipment. I enjoy watching all the heavy equipment get it done quickly but I’m in the same boat you are. I get it done with what I have. Keep choppin’!
I’m happy to be sharing the same boat with you!😂 Thank you👍👍
Nice routine and rhythm getting the job done with what you brung!
Practical, cost effective tools to perform the task. 👍 Nice work Jeremiah
Thanks Jimbo👍👍
I personally appreciate your approach to firewood. I too have a second hand splitter and a tractor with a loader bucket and do large rounds the same way. The guys with the brand new EastonMade commercial splitters and conveyors and such are fun to watch but will never be in my toolbox. Keep up the good work. I love that Ford tractor, pick out a piece of the tractor to do a weekly cleanup and paint. The hood one week, a fender the next, maybe a wheel or two the next. By the end of summer you’ll have a new looking machine.
This way definitely works. I feel the same about the high dollar massive splitters! She’s a work horse not a show pony but sure could use some love!😂😂 Thank you Bob I appreciate you Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I like to smell the stank Bur Oak emits. I use to use 3 or 4 2X4's and drive into the big rounds after I sank my wedges into it. I got them started by noodling the round about 5" deep. Once I had the chunks where I could put them on my Harbor Freight wood splitter I was good to go. I like you never had the latest greatest woodyard tools like the rich man of Cranberry Township, Pa. But We got er done! Merry Christmas Jeremiah!
I like it also, crazy smells when walking by that shed! Making do with what we got👊 Thank you Everett and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Great setup in your woodyard!! I watch several of y'all and try to take the best from all!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thank you for always watching David! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I think you have made very good investment, nothing wrong with having older equipment, you have even figured out ways that equipment can make your job easier.
I agree Craig! Thank you sir👍👍
Morning Jeremiah , you need to toot your horn . You make some great looking firewood . I want a tractor with a bucket so bad . I will find one when the time is right . There was one of those garages in a box on market place here the other day for 60 dollars . It was gone in mins . Merry Christmas to you and Amanda . 🎄🎁👍🏻🪵🔥
Morning Del! Yup well said when the time is right. Merry Christmas👍🎄👍
Hello from sunny California
I am always amazed at how hard you work.
Lookes like that “free” tree produced a lot of wood.
Have a great holiday !
When are you going to send me some of that Cali sun?☀️ Thank you Gary I appreciate you! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Ha ha
It’s on its way,
Merry Xmas to you and family and be safe .
Gary
Good firewood 👍
Some of the best! 👍🎄👍
Great setup and inexpensive too. More profit with less $ invested 👍. The oak shed will be filled before you know it. Stay safe and have a merry Christmas. 🎄
Well said! Thank you and Merry Christmas to the B&F family👍🎄👍
Good looking Oak Jeremiah 👌🏻 those big rounds can be a handful, but boy they make some pretty splits and a lot of wood. Made a lot of progress filling the Oak shed
For sure! Thanks Brandon👍👍
Yup. No fancy equipment here either. Merry and Happy to ya.
We keep it simple👊 Merry Christmas Bill👍🎄👍
I did invest in a new Yan Marr tractor to help with my lifting. It is amazing how much work it does save. The front bucket makes a great work table.
A tractor is a definite game changer!👍👍
Great work son!!
Thanks Mom!👍🎄👍
Man did that first white oak round fight you or what? I like how you had the tractor 🚜 bucket there to store the half/quarter rounds while you split
Yes it sure did and it was supposed to be easy😂😂 The tractor bucket really helps with the big ones! Thanks Joe👍👍
Inexpensive 👍, quality 👍, not sure about easy. Oak can split easier than others but I wouldn’t say easy. Even with the something like a processor, firewood just isn’t easy IMO. Fun as all get out, but not easy. Great video! I hope your family has a great Christmas!
It’s the easiest way I know with the equipment I got. Ya just gotta love doing it I guess! Thanks Mike and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 We’re all a little nuts for liking it so much! 🤣
@@KNLFirewood you got that right!😂😂
Nice looking splits. Cheap and quality stuff. Easy well that's in the eyes of the beholder, but i think all of us that make firewood like the struggle and challenge once in a while..
Merry Christmas to you and your family..🎄😁👍
The struggle is real! Thanks Daniel and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
You use what you have. As long as it does the job you need it to, then you can't ask for anymore. With time, you can upgrade equipment, but it isn't a need. Some nice Oak you got last week and it always feels the best to have it split up and drying.
Well said Tyler! Thank you and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 merry Christmas to you as well
Yup you definitely have it figured out!
Trying to make the best with what I got. Thank you Stan and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
That's getting it done Jeremiah, nice work! I wouldn't say it cheap or easy, it's cost effective and good exercise 😅. Can't think of anything else I'd rather do outside than make firewood. Merry Christmas to you, Amanda, and the family.
I feel the same way Bobby! Thank you and Merry Christmas 👍👍
Hello Jeremiah thanks for stopping by my livestream this morning. Any idea when you’ll have the Axis back in the 608?
Keeping all the equipment overhead cheap makes the profits high 💵
No plans for the Axis coming back unfortunately. Higher profits but more time involved! Thanks for watching Joe👍🎄👍
Nice job breaking those big rounds down! Using the tractor bucket instead of standing the splitter up worked perfect. I really don't like using my splitter vertically, to much crawling around for me. Merry Christmas to you and the 608 family!
Ya should try being... nevermind 😅😅
Vertical splitting on the ground is not my favorite! The tractor bucket really helps! Thanks Tony Merry Christmas to the TCO family👍🎄👍
A merry Christmas to your family from mine
Thank you and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Nice way to use what you have. You definitely have some fine looking firewood Jeremiah.
Merry Christmas to you!! ✝️🎄🎁
Yes for sure! Thank you Jacob Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I use older equipment also a splitter modified log lift makes it easier. Also corn elevator drop on to pallets than put some In totes. And 1996 50hp Zetor tractor. Your quality comes from slow splitting see each piece keeping under roof
Making the best with what I got! I would like to get an elevator someday. Thank you Lonnie Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Merry Christmas stay safe
Thanks Donald and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I use the bucket that way too, with big rounds...
Sure works good with the big ones! Thanks and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I split firewood similar to the way you do, my Ariens 27 ton log splitter does a great job. I have found with the slower which splitters that if you get on an empty rack as soon as possible get it filled quick it works out very well..
It’s been working for me for many years!
Cheap and quality for sure! I’m not convinced on the easy part yet🤣 I’m down in the back right now. I guess the more equipment you have the easy part comes😂Take care and have a great Christmas 608 Family 👊🏻🍻🎄
Easy because I love doing it…😂 Thanks Todd and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
That's some mighty fine looking oak you have Jeremiah, Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Gotta love some nice barkless oak! Thank you Ken and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 from Kingwood Wv
Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Great job honey‼️ 🪵
Thank you my love!❤️❤️
You sure are running the old machines the ford 1710 tractor I think has a yanmar diesel engine and they are bullet proff I'd say the splitter is the same great work on the fire wood
Nothing fancy here! The tractor sure is handy!! Thank you and happy 2024👍👍
Merry Christmas to you and the fam.🎉 I’ve got some big ‘ole Oak rounds to split myself.
Some nice firewood in them big ones! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Merry Christmas Jeremiah and Amanda. Keep using all the tools you can to save your back, and to make your job less brutal to your body. So do you feel the oak will be dry by fall or next years wood sales. The first round put up a good fight before giving in. The 2nd one went much easier. Hey I cut wood yesterday with the 400. I can’t believe how much you can cut in a short time. It may burn 1 1/2 times the fuel but your getting 2x the wood cut. Thanks for suggesting and encouraging the purchase. I hope you find enough oak to get your shed full.
Yes I think it will be dry by fall being it was standing dead when I cut it down. The first one was less than ideal… The 400 is amazing! Thank you Allen and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Smooth setup and process! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you Richard Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Really nice firewood Jeremiah! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Everett! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Great job Jeremiah, have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you Michael! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Hey Jeremiah It's the same way I do it with my Skid steer I used my head not my back That's the best way to do it I just scoop him up And then split them Good job and say save stay healthy And have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
It works good! Like you said head and not back! Thank you and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
That’s some stubborn burly Burr Oak! Took quite a few strokes to bust them up but then the splitting got easier! Impressive setup Jeremiah…! Merry Christmas to you and yours in the “608”…!!
Of course the first one had to give me a hard time!😂 It’s the easiest way I have figured out to get the big ones busted up. Thank you Ken and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Jeremiah hey what you do , iiiii iiiii do the same thing use my tractor as work table on big round . Own thing I got a different wedge on wood splitter crack them first shot . Hey we all work with we got in the wood 🪵 yard . Tks you for time and great video you are put out . I wish you and family merry Christmas and all the best in the 2024 . Remember stick on the ice 🧊, saw in the wood 🪵 and rubber on the road . Life is poor in the 709 😢.
I wish the wedge was taller on the splitter! Very true. Thank you Leonard and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Well I would not say easy per se, but definitely cheap and nice quality. Big rounds are a pain, but you can get some nice splits. Happy Holidays to you guys Jeremiah!
It’s the easiest way I have figured out so far with what I got! Thank you and Happy Holidays 👍🎄👍
I think you have a great set up. The tractor is huge for saving the back ! the best part about what you have going on is it’s all bought and paid for so that only means more money in your pocket at the end of the month 👍. I liked the music at the end also.. have a good Christmas buddy
Yes for sure Tom! Well said!! Thank you and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I got a similar setup. I thought box store spitter be nice to tip up but it so uncomfortable. I do same thing with my tractor bucket. I think I build a table so not bending over so much to get rounds. I prefer to do them right off the truck or trailer. One day I hope to have a splitter with a lift. Nice looking wood. 👍🏻👍🏻
I agree very uncomfortable! A table would work nice also. Thank you Dan Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 merry Christmas to you and your family hope you have a great day.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you also👍🎄👍
That 1st one looked like it might have been easier to use wedges. Sure horsed it around a lot.
The first one definitely wasn’t as easy as the last two… Thanks Brandon Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Easy and hard are all a state of mind. The right attitude makes the difference. From what I’ve seen of you Jeremiah, everything is easy! Take care and a Merry Christmas to you and yours!🎄
Well said Rod! Thank you Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
Hydraulics are a delightful thing 👌🏻
They sure are! Merry Christmas Ralph👍🎄👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 Merry Christmas Jeremiah 🎄🤙🏻
I have been splitting some big ash rounds like that, they can be a handful and take some time to split apart.
Yes, some of them ash rounds are stringy! Thanks for watching Paul👍👍
Morning, I hear you Jeremiah cheep , I agree with you don’t like the machine in the vertical position to hard on the back especially that wood, when it doesn’t want to split, better to fight it standing up 👍, Merry Christmas, 🪵🔥🚜🏰🚀⛄️🌲
Vertical splitting on the ground sucks! I agree Len. Thank you and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍⛄️
I'd be proud to own that Ford tractor. it's pretty awesome. It certainly came in handy splitting those monster rounds.
Your firewood approach is economical, affordable, and reliable, it makes sense and money.
Merry Christmas guys.
Kenny❤
Very handy tractor! Thank you Kenny I appreciate you!! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
You see folks, what Jeremiah is doing is cutting this oak into smaller chunks so it can season as fast as possible. Oak dries very slow and he wants to turn it over quickly. His customers probably won't mind - a cord is a cord. He's not making kindling - he's ensuring his oak will dry faster.
You nailed it Travis! Thank you sir👍👍
I do the same thing shot myself last year left a few cord too big resplit it all down into small pieces like you have here definitely a good decision for oak. Customers don’t mind at all in my area smaller is better for most
@@geogesterrett6391 All I get is positive feedback from my customers! Thank you George!👍👍
I split Oak the smallest of any wood type for faster drying but never near this small. My diehard Oak burners usually also think they need bigger wood for the best heat. I just have a 2 year rotation on Oak and Locust. I do like your sheds and sure beats wrestling sheets of metal on top of piles and keeping secured down.
Love your channel. How do you secure the sheds to the ground? Up here in Superior we get big winds off the lake. Thanks.
Six tee posts in the ground clamped to each leg. So far we have had straight line winds 100+ and they are still standing… Thanks and Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 Merry Christmas to you too. Clamping I guess would work, I might do the same, or drill a bolt through both. Thanks for the reply
I had the same splitter for probably 25 or 30 years. 25 ton speedco, got it at farm&fleet for less than $1K. Also replaced the engine with a Briggs. Sold it early this fall for more than I paid for it new. Replaced it with a wolf ridge. Have you ever tried one?
Got this one at the same place! I have not tried a Wolf Ridge yet but definitely would like to someday!!👍👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 I’m done splitting for this fall. I only put up 5 or 6 full cord a year, and I’m located about 15mi. from you. If you would like to try it for a week, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
@@user-rayman11 wow that mighty nice of you but the last splitter someone let me use I broke… Don’t want to do that again!
@@outdoorsinthe608 yes I saw that. But that was an Easton made. I just thought I’d put it out there. It’s nothing fancy. 28pro. Took less than 1/2 the time for me to get my wood split this fall. My only regret would be that I didn’t get it with the auto detent. Your call. I offered because I remember fighting the oak. Believe me your body won’t put up with that for much longer. It’s just an offer to give you an idea for different splitters. Log lift and adjustable 4 way.
@@user-rayman11 do you have an email address?
Could you make a table to hold several pieces on it and load with bucket ???
Yes I could. Maybe someday…👍👍
I don’t know if I have seen Bur oak in person up here in Maine. Looks like it would burn like all other oaks.
Yes just like all other oak burns great! Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
I started out with the exact same splitter! Struggled though those big rounds plenty of times!! Did you get started on the load of locust from last week yet?
The struggle is real!😂😂 All cut and the rounds stacked waiting to be split! Man that was a heavy load!! I told Matt I really appreciate you guys cutting a lot of them at 16” especially the big ones! Very little waste👍👍 Merry Christmas 👍🎄👍
@outdoorsinthe608 yeah it was! I climbed under a few times to see if it was on the bump stops yet or not! He used my measuring stick plenty and got one for his truck now so it definitely helps on the firewood side of things!
@@bluffsidetreeservice sweet!👍👍
Why such small pieces?
Helps dry faster.
Not the smart one hahaha
😂😂
