Firewood Splitting Marathon with the

- The goal today was to get through all the Red Oak that I have bucked up and all that I brought back from my neighbor in previous videos. Wanted to get it all split open to start the seasoning process hoping some of it may be ready by end of next year.
Enjoy Wood Hounds.

Im happy to hear Daisy Duke is using protection! Lol.
Loved the intro with the deer feeding!
Those are the twins...they've been hangin out all summer along with another fawn back there.
Man every time I see that Wolfe Ridge splitter I tell myself someday !!
This video appeared in my recommended feed. I normally do not like these CZcams log splitting videos because they use perfect size, completely dry and knot free logs. But this showed a honest, real world video with plenty of twisted knots and a wide variety of diameters, just like I have to split. Thank you for keeping it real.
Hey Doug...thanks for the feedback, appreciate your comment. Hope you'll check out more of the Back 40 Firewood channel, there's a great community of people here...a bunch of us get together each and every Friday night on the Back 40 Live Stream at 8 p.m. central....maybe you can stop by and say hi....😀👍🍻
Good to see you using the moisture meter. Excelent idea.
LOVED seeing you stick that moisture meter on that split piece. So many people claim wood is 'seasoned' because the tree is dead, or they cut it in rounds 6 months ago. NOPE. Until it's split and allowed to air out 6 months to a year, it isn't close to the 20% range it needs to be.
I love seeing you two work together!!! (Actually, Amanda a bit more than you!!! 😂😂)
Keep up the great work 💪💪💪
Amanda is definitely easier on the eyes. She puts in some work too.
So is the Amazing Amanda getting the firewood fever yet? Great quality time together, keep on chopping.
Ok. Now im convinced that splitter would be worth the money. Ive got piles of wood around here that are gonna be hard to split with the one ive got. But that darn thing would laugh at them. Nice splitter!
I have the Wolfe Ridge Pro 28 (not Pro 28C). Quite a bit cheaper than the Pro 28C. It works well for me; I am a homeowner and not a commercial guy. I just split 10 full cords of mixed hardwoods - maple, white oak, red oak, hickory, American elm, false elm - and the splitter handled it all. I had to take the 4 way off for the American elm because it was just too stringy. My hour meter shows 26.1 hours and I never had to stop because I was too tired to go on (and I am 68 years old). The Pro 28 replaces a 27 ton DR splitter and I am amazed at the improvement in time and energy.
Team work at its best!👍🏼🇱🇷
Great job. Awesome to see you both working together.
Very nice like the little wood tongues
Nice pile! Your filling up the wood yard fast, you're going to need to expand it again!
Smile you two..............................
Love that splitter!
That ending was an awesome tribute!!
Great job enjoy watching
I think you and amazing Amanda easily out produced Mr "In the woodyard" himself with this performance. You will have to give him some tips! I never see any deer in his woodyard!
Nice work you two! Stay 🆒️ 😎
Good team work, guys.
Very nice oak I think Amanda is getting the firewood fever lol great job. Thanks for the shout-out and awesome closing.🍺🍺🍺💪🏻💪🏻Wooooooo!!
No problem brother...lol, I'm not sure she's got the fever just yet. Only mild symptoms so far! HAHAHAHA 😀 👍 🍻
I guess we are all a little Scheib deprived.. Lol..
Hopefully you are doing ok out there Mr, Scheib..
Wooooo! Nice shirt 40. Lot of good oak there 👍
B 🆒
Great video brother
I appreciate the way you support us smaller channels, your a good man.
And of course a awesome job by Amazing Amanda.
Stay safe and stay positive ❤
Man some of those rounds were big and gnarly. That’s a heck of a splitter!
Yeah and a few of those rounds being Oak were HEAVY ohh goodness! That's why the wife was there - to deal with them....lol
Great splitter 👍👍
Nice pile and a good finish lol beer and a shout out
Awesome video. Keep them coming. 😁
Amazing has her boots on and you guys rock n rolled once again.
Schieb is gonna have some shirt orders once he's done with his service. I like to split the oak thin to get a little extra drying. Maybe for a test you could take a small piece and a big piece of the same oak log and let them set a few months and see the moisture meter difference.
As always, SS BC HF!
I like that 6 way, that thing kicks butt, well till next time stay cool
Great video keep them coming and I will keep watching. Thanks
Thanks, will do! 😀 👍 🍻
Thats one thing I like about ash not as much drying time however cant beat dry oak looks good. I love that Amanda is out there. My wife sends my boys out lol
Amanda💓
참 부지런히 열심히 살아가시는군요. 최고👍
Nice job Dan. Seeing amazing Amanda in her Daisy Dukes makes it even better! We should call you the Dynamic Duo! Just missen the lil bossman! Hope he is also doing well!...
I noticed early on that Amada had her hand on the front side of the log and her other hand on the ram lever. This is a very dangerous habit and your hand should never be between the log and the wedge. Later on, when you started splitting, I noticed that she must have learned that from you, because you do it as well. It's easy to say that you would never engage the ram while your hand was there, but accidents happen and you trip on she trips into you and now you hand is stuck and the ram is moving. I know it's a reach to think that might happen, but it only takes once to lose a hand or some fingers. If you must put your hand in that area, make sure to remove your other hand from the lever. Other than that, great video and it's cool that you got all of that done. I agree with you on Scheib. I don't know how he picks up some of the stuff he does. How about you and him get in the ring for a wrestling match? How bad could it hurt?
I know I catch myself doing that occasionally and mine is a DR splitter with a one second cycle time. You just have to keep remembering it.
Wow! I am glad I don’t have any big, double barrel, snaffel crotch pieces here in Minnesota!
Nice girl that working hard, like IT 😊
Great video. Your turning into John Ford of woodhoundville. I think we need a live steam checkin on moisture percentage on one peace on that red oak. Bar top conversation piece. Lol.
Early on, I got myself into the habit of not handling the rounds by the ends if at all possible. One false move and all that. I find tha a pair of those grippy rubberized gloves is just the ticket. Love the videos. Stay safe.
Great vid Amanda n Dan. Thanks for the shoutout 🤘🏽. The Scheib end 😂👍🏽
maxair420 : Melissa isn’t on this channel ! She’s on Outdoors With The Morgans & Morgans on a Leash ! Amanda is on this channel !
@@dennishayes65 it was early lol. iDont watch the morgans. iChanged it lol. Thanks Dennis 👍🏽
Love that song witchcraft by Thyra, perfect upbeat to match a full energy video. You are really improving with your content Shifty. Long may it last.👍💪😁
Thanks my friend...I've been sitting on that song waiting for the right vid to use it in...lol...did have a good fit. 😀 👍 🍻
I like your new video the moming you guys did a really good jop today buddy
little bit of ric flair at the end there haha. good vid guys.
Ahh ha....ohh Yeah! Woooooooooooo! 😀 👍 🍻
Amanda had to pick that song???? LOL Great video.
That splitter get a lot of work done. Even better with a second person to keep feeding it. It does take a lot of time to season oak. Even when it looks dry it can still have too much moisture in it. Looks can be deceiving. Have a good day.
Get you a Box wedge cool video
That splitta has got the powa! I don't think you mentioned how large the gas tank is. I think I have a new term when the splitter goes through a extra knotty round; woodburger! What'a ya think? No?
Great video my friend. Nice shout out to Scheib since he’s doing the Military thing right now and can’t put out any content 👍🏻
Kinda new around here, who's this scheib yall speak of, just a curious veteran
Scheib is another wood hound who has his own channel Outside with Scheib you should check it out. He’s quit the Character. But anyway he has been away playing Rambo on his annual training. Hope that answers your question.
NICE Green Work Boots !!! John Deer Green ???
Wow a powered wedge, that is cool,
You have some nice tools to work with
Why wood is efficient, warms you when you cut it and again when you burn it,
What % moisture do you like the wood before you burn it?
Man I need a better splitter with a log lift.
Great video, I like it. Who plays the music in background? Grettings from Croatia! 👋
That's a nice pile of wood for one tank of gas.. I think my splitter would be a quarter of that..
I was surprised how much we split with it & not having to refill...of course it does have a good size tank as well...lol
If I find one with ants in it. I burn it right away in the fire pit. I don't need bugs in the yard
Do U like having the flat table?
I don't sell wood to help it dry I split or shave off the bark then after it drys we use it for kinli . Do you think that's a good idea?
HAY BIG ( D ) WHATS THE STORY? THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORK OUT TODAY. FROM SPRINTIN TO SPLITTIN... I JUST CAN'T KEEP UP... HOLY MACKEREL ANDY... I NEED A NAP...
LOL....yep it sure was a different work out...one more up my alley...hahaah 😀 👍 🍻
Is that your Daughter Amanda, she HOT ! ..............Amazing, you two work well together! I have watched you two for a good while. Hey Josh, get you ant spray out, don't want those ants in your good wood.
You're a lucky man !!!.....{:-)
Wondered where one can buy the hand held log carrier?
Hello Dave, I have it listed in my Amazon store. It is called the LogOx.
www.amazon.com/shop/back40firewood
I know you are going to put tarp on that fire wood for a year or two but do you have the intention to build a shed to protect your firewood from the elements ?.
I see your moisture meter reads 40 What is that percentage ? What are you looking for 20% or less ?
Yep, 20% is ideal or what is usually considered seasoned and ready to burn.
What is your lifting tool called. Where did you get it?
Looks really handy!
LogOx, it’s listed in his Amazon store.
@@SeriousSchitt Thanks!
You have a few expensive toys there
TIM from Canada here is my question for you the wood hound guy if you were going to do 80% of the work why do you really need the lady out there to help you.
LOL....well getting a helping hand even if just for 20% is still a good thing, 20% less for me to do...hahaha 😀👍🍻
Ewww bugs
