Looks like the novelty of that project went flat about eight and a half minutes in! Oooffda as we say here up Nort! I very much dislike trying to rip hardwood with a crosscut chain.
That is what it takes hard work 😓 and not wanting to quit. Awesome video Tim tell the camera man good job also
Great video what kind of chain do y'all run on your saws?
That wild swinging claw though! Keep ya hardhats buckled tight on your cottontops!
I took an explosive class at Omni Distribution in Memphis once and guys from a hardwood mill in Tennessee were there to learn to use detonation cord. They were going to saw a kerf in logs then push detonation cord into kerf and set it off to split logs
Oh boy, brings to mind the ole short wood days
I used to split cedar in to fence posts it split lot eases than hardwood.
Cotontop3 keep up the awsome videos I'm a huge fan
+Jeremy Hougland thank you
some kinda easy mount splitting thing maybe? made out of junk , like a "V" maybe idk haha for times of need lol.. nice video
We had a logger here in my town use a outrigger cylinder built a splitter that fit in the Cradle of the knuckle boom
Man I wouldn’t do that around here in south AR lol. But I don’t know their market/mills and what was going on at that time. Stumpage price on oak logs 60-65/ton vs hardwood pulpwood 10-15/ton. Possibly go lower with domtar mill not taking hardwood pulp anymore. Is it because it wasn’t enough to make a load? Curious to know!
Wood they not be worth more to you sold to a hardwood mill ? Or I guess may not be enough for a load . I had a small logging operation years ago. Good labor was our biggest problem. Enjoying your channel.
If you'll cut a sliver out on the end to get the grapple tips started in it will be easier to split
Were you using ripping chain for this? I didn't think the saws cut along the grain as quickly as I'd expected.
No just a normal chain.
The "cameraman'" did a great job on dueling chainsaws.
Yep we do the same thing up here we can't fit it through the 30 inch chipper
Was anyone else looking for a shady spot? Great/fun video btw, thanks.
Just curious..... could you have sold these big logs for firewood and made any money?
Firewood sale? Lol. Working those Huskies.
couldnt you make something for a wedge and hook it you the fingers of the loader and split them that way after youve cut in the log
Logging is like the sand and gravel business,the cash flow is awesome,it's just mostly flowing out LOL
lol, So true. Aint nothing to make a million a year. But it takes 950,000 to make that million.
A Great Pitch For Shark Tank!
we go to center of log and bore cut it and fill the slot with black powder and fuse and split them with a bang.
I think the cameraman needs a raise.
that has to be the hardest thing you could do the saw and chains doin long rip cuts like that
Is cutting with the grain like that a little tougher?
+Brenton Medders yeah it's tough
I had had those logs I would of took them to the sawmill down the road like they are and got 60 cents a board foot or more for those logs.
Sawmiller Smith we get 590 a thousand boardfeet red oak
@@demetricwilliams4556 59 cents a board foot for oak? Couldn't you get a wood mizer and turn them into boards yourself and sell for $3+? Seems like you're doing 80% of the work for 15% of the money. What am I missing?
Two versions of Abe Lincoln the "Rail Splitter", so the story goes! Not too certain about the ROI on this deal. Cheers,
File those rakers down ... It would cut alot better lol use the grapple to pop them open . You're killing the saw ripping that pulp wood
Ive got a lovely tool for splitting those big whoppers... skid steer and a drill/cone/screw except the mills up here take em juuust the way they was before yall spent half the morning sawing them up
You gotta realize, sawing them is for the video, the challenge and that’s what lures people in to watch and keeps them through the entire video. Lots of ways to split them way easier than how we did it but it wouldn’t have made the video what it is.
No matter... awesome job with the vids... ill always look up to guys like you and wade. I do the logging thing as well with the family, c7 treefarmer grapple/winch skidder and a couple late 90s kobelco 200s. Yall vids help keep me entertained on my free time
I would have used the loader and pulled them apart and only cut maybe 2 feet up log
Ypu needed wades 395 with a 28" bar...get it all boys
Hey Tim, what kind of chainsaws do you use?
+Nathan Hoffman husqvarna 372xp is all we have
Wouldn't it pay the company to buy a portable bandsaw mill it would save you time and give you a cleaner cut plus the market for slabs is there just wondering
How come you don't sticker any of your machines up
So...why are you cutting them into. ..?? Didn't get that class at the Dairy. ..
I have seen large logs split with black powder check it out. Could make a good video.
Are those white oak barrel logs? $$$
Why the hell are you splitting them?
First comment lol. Keep up the good videos!
Need to get one of those little saw mills and sell that stuff for flooring
Takes a good saw to stand up to that.
Merchandising is the key to making money in logging these days
Rolling in the cash..lol
Very cool Tim,
Shoulda wore chap's like Jason..lmao Take Care
Cynthia Herr ..
They call them assless chap's, LOL!
lol..Yes Yes they are...Have a great day my friend..
Fil like cutting wood ,He would have fitted right in there. And I get this video Also 👍😎
Tim...In our area of Eastern, VA the residential tree companies will take hardwood logs like that and drop them in a homeowners front lawn and charge them $100/cord. When split oak is going for $225 - 250 a cord people with saws who burn wood are happy to get it. No market where you are for something like that?
There is not many here burning firewood anymore.
I doubt that their gonna turn white oak into pulp!!
I'm a little lost, whats the point of splitting those
lil00chevy I waswondering the same thing
lil00chevy last video he explained was going to cut for hardwood pulp
they would make some really nice tables too.
lil00chevy hard to believe nice big pieces is oak get turned into Pulp and not lumber
lil00chevy you have to split big logs to feed into the chipper. Here in East Tennessee I don't think they will take anything over 26" or 30". Most of our chip wood goes to the paper mill and some goes to the biomass power plant in Wise, Va.
Wtf are you splitting saw logs for???
Man, if you had a stihl you could have just laid it in the log and it would have split itself ;)
Worst saw i have ever own! Never ever i buy a new *peace*stihl*of shit* anymore. I hate it. Sooo bad... Husq beats it 100-0 anytime.
clearly you havent used a husqvarna before way better saw and easier starts..just ask the Alaskans
Better wareanty than stihl as well. Even echo is getting up there
Not sure why this popped up after 5yrs but i had to go watch the video again. And all I can say is those saws were absolute beast. 💯.
Dangit Tim, I would paid you 23 ton for those logs whole. Well it all adds up, count your pennies and the dollars take care of themselves.
+Fishpharmer we get more than that for pulp and u did not want to mess with those.
cotontop3 fair enough, thanks.
All for 23 bucks a ton , making the big bucks in short order there LOL
+FEI-forestry we are getting more than that even for pulp here.
I hope Kev isn't wearing Jasons chaps, I spoke to soon, hope neither 1 of yall are wearin them LOL...... IMO ya cant beat em ol Husky's
Back b4 u had 3 of every saw husky an stihl make LOL
Lol that’s those old 372’s we still have.
The 1k like 👍
Good video tim is that red oak
Perhaps you should put a actual desciption in the desciption box so everyone isn't left wondering what you're doing.
Outdoor Media Company description**
Didn’t understand why ya cut those logs in Half?
nonya beezwax pulp mills dont take stuff above a certain diameter. 31" is the cutoff where i live.
Worth more in firewood then pulp.
Yep
I have done this for logs to big for the mill. It makes for a long day and lots of saw dust in the teeth its about as much fun as slamming your pinky in a car door
+aaron Markham 😂😂
Id gladly have paid a sawmill 80 cents a board foot for oak that wide, wtf is the reason for wasting it on pulp? Is there no mills to take your wood to? Seems like a strang profession for you in that area of there aren't any sawmills close.
I hate the big logs. Ill do whatever i can not to mess with em.
"There's always barber college"...
+Sky King ya that makes sense.
Why didn't you just rip the ends through and cut a large enough notch to get the grapples in and bust them open that way? Just bite it in there and roll them around, they pop right open. No pounding your guts out. That's just my two cents worth of free advice
I'm sorry I couldn't help myself but I have done it several times. No more unsolicited advice from me I promise
+bryan chipps it boils down to views. If I woulda made short work, the video wouldn't be near as good as it is right now. Y'all can't see it but it's already over 10,000 views.
