Paul Bunyan with his blue, orange ox kubota. Good job! Thanks for sharing.
LOL! Thanks, David!
Yup, need to get a set of forks for my JD. Nice work to keep ya busy
Couldn't agree more about the value of pallet forks Martin!
Great video, Martin. Spent my 3-day weekend bush hogging about an acre of woods and cutting up downed trees from hurricane Sally who graced our lives 2 yrs ago. Bush hogging woods for the first time can be an expensive undertaking; cost me a grille (taken out by a branch, don’t know the cost yet but it won’t be cheap,) a loader pin that came out after a limb flipped the bale open on it and it vibrated out ($80), three shear pins on the PTO shaft (only about $2 each) and a lotta time cleaning up the tractor afterwards, but it was worth it. Woods look good and we cut up & moved about a half dozen big pines. Might look into the electric chainsaw you have, it hauls the mail and it’s gotta be lighter than my 20” gas Stihl, which seems to get heavier as I progress in years. Thanks for another excellent episode, enjoy your week. 👍
Thanks, Dave! Broken grille? Ouch! Might be time to consider a grill guard. I’ve never had a loader pin come out and hope I never do. Glad it was worth it to you and you are happy with the results! Yes, that Greenworks chainsaw has been awesome. Long battery life, good power, very durable and low noise. The biggest downside is it will cut slower than a gas powered saw, but for my needs it’s great. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done job Martin. I love having pallet forks, like you said they are so useful for so many things. Have a good week! See ya!
Thanks, John! Yep, used mine again today. I don’t stay home without them. 😁 Thanks for watching!
I have never had much use for pallet forks. I do however have my hay bale forks that double as pallet forks for me when I do need to move a pallet. I am different from most tractor owners/ hobby farmers. I have 4 loader tractors here. One is my 1958 John Deere with a No. 45 mechanical trip loader. I use that in the woods.
I am taking this week off from work to cut my winters firewood. The eaves up here in Iowa are nearing their peak Martin. I spent the day in the woods today and loved it.
I took delivery on a drone this week and am really looking forward to shooting video for my channel with it.
As always, great video Martin. You got to spend some high quality time outdoors on a Kubota tractor. It doesn’t get better than that.
Hi Gary! That’s interesting but understandable since your hay bale forks can stand in for pallet forks. Glad you’re taking the week off to spend quality time in the fall woods and cooler days. Enjoy! Looking forward to seeing your drone footage, hopefully of the fall trees at their peak. Thanks for watching!
I was shocked with the work you got done with that electric chainsaw. And so quiet!
Yep, and it’s four years old but the batteries still hold up well. If you want to see what it could do when new, you might want to watch my review video of it: czcams.com/video/7y5z8oGYeE4/video.html. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Martin. Been thinking about buying an battery powered chainsaw. Your video convinced me!
Hi Tony! I love mine and I’m willing to trade slower cutting for no noise, no smell and no frustration with finicky 2 cycle engines. If you are used to gas powered performance then you might consider 80V cordless chainsaws. I would expect they would have the power to cut faster. Thanks for watching!
I have both and I love them both I use the forks to move big stuff and the grapel for the brush
Your kubota lifts a good bit of weight 👍
Yes it does pretty good. Thanks for watching!
I would recommend cutting the stump below the break in a situation like that. Much less potential energy to dal with.
Great video Martin!!! I agree pallet forks are awesome. I thought you were going to do a tight rope act on the top of the log but I was wrong. 😂Thanks for the video!!!!
Thanks, Mitch! You know, I thought about doing that, but only very briefly. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Did Martin say “rest” in peace or, “rot” in pieces!!??😁🤣
Do you ever process any of the trees you harvest, for whatever reason, into fire pit wood?
I think a cool project YOU would enjoy would be, building an earthen oven!! Jas. Townsend has a great you tube channel and he does a series on building one. Think it would go nicely out by the stream, bake a nice pizza and enjoy the evening!👍🏻
He said “rest in peace”. I know because I was there when he said it. 😄 But I like you line better. Yes, I do. We have a fire pit on the back patio so I cut up and split a small amount of wood for it each season. An earthen oven? Nah, nothing that fancy, but I may build a fire pit down there one of these days. Thanks for watching!
Good evening Sir, nice forest road ride 👌👌😇😇👍👍Very nice wood cow milk voice 🥴OUTSTANDING electrical chainsaw action SIr 👍😇👌Outstanding various camera angle and Yes I realy like fall season ( I'm like to take my holidays during that time of the year too ) 😇👌👍 Yes Pallets Forks are very good to have 👍👌😇 Keep up your OUTSTANDING videos Sir and have an OUTSTANDING week Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
Thank you, Dave! Glad you like Fall too. I hope you have a great week as well. Cheers!
I use my pallet forks all the time. I have my forks and bucket stacked so I can attach the one I need before I get on the machine. Forks are sort of my poor mans grapple.
Yep, my forks serve as my grapple too. Just can’t justify the cost for a grapple yet. Thanks for watching!
Wish I was immune to poison ivy like you are! I would be interested to see a video on the various types of GoPro mounts you use.
Yes, I am fortunate to have inherited my father’s immunity to poison ivy! I’ve thought about doing a video about my camera gear and mounts. I’ll add it to the to-do list. Thanks for watching!
Nice work, Martin. The electric chainsaw impressed me. Of course, the sharper the chain, the longer the battery life. I'm glad you got that big trunk out of the way safely. Even though I use my grapple 99% of the time, I still think I need a set of SSQA pallet forks. The clamp-on version do well in a pinch, but they do take a while to install properly as you know - since I learned that from you. 😁
Thanks David! Yes, I love my Greenworks chainsaw. It had a fresh battery and a sharp chain so it had 50% battery left at the end. Get a real set of pallet forks. You won’t regret it. Thanks for watching!
Would you consider doing a quick video of your stream bridges? I know it’s an odd ask, I just want to rebuild the bridge on my grandfathers land and am a bit baffled.
Thanks, and keep up the videos!
Hi Andy! I have two stream crossings but haven’t built any bridges. If I ever do, I’ll surely make a video on it. Thanks for watching!
Nice going Martin. I use my forks more then any thing else. Later
Thanks, Mech! Yep, you can do ALL sorts of things with pallet forks. Thanks for watching!
I love that you have a spot for your shovel/rake etc, how are you doing that? Another great video, thanks!
Thanks 👍 This is how: Tractor FEL Chainsaw Scabbard and Tool Holder: Detailed Build Instructions (#102)

great thank you, I will watch that video tonight :)
I was wondering if there is a demand for firewood in your area. Instead of leaving in the ditch, perhaps you could sell the logs
I imagine there is, but those logs are going stay in that ditch, unless I think of a use for them elsewhere on the property.
Often unseasoned wood in small quantity is worth about what it costs to have someone come haul it away.
Nice job, Martin. The moment you said you were going to use the green chainsaw, I thought that was going to be a tough cut but that little bruiser held its own quite well. Bravo brother. Enjoyed a full-watch and you're right, a nice set of pallet forks will definitely do a myriad of jobs on one's property. Have a fine week. It should be some nice weather for a bit. Don 👍🏽🤠 10/10/22
Thanks, Don! Yep, that Greenworks chainsaw is still amazing 4 years on and the battery still had 50% when I was done. We’ve had great weather for 3 weeks now and it’s been great for outdoor projects. Thanks for watching!
Glad you got it all cleaned up, sir. Looked like it was time for that old tree to go.
Hi David! Yes it sure was. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done Martin. I figured out your project on my first guess! Hard to tell on my phone screen, but that sure looked like poison Ivy clinging to that tree 😳
Thanks, Ed! I knew you would guess it right off the bat. You’re a smart cookie. Yes, that was poison ivy and fortunately I am immune to it’s ill effects. My wife, however, breaks out at the thought of poison ivy. Thanks for watching!
We have the Precision mfg adjustable add a grapple for our forks which is nice to keep logs and brush in place when transporting. Our other purpose for it is moving round bales to our sheep and goat hay feeders. For that we have a lot of rear ballast for those bales.
Hi Jim! Ah, an Add-A-Grapple! Nice addition to your forks. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYMyWay Yes my local Kubota dealer had never installed one before. They did have to make a couple of adjustments after we took delivery of our Grand L. The biggest take away is buy from a dependable dealer if you aren't familiar with hydraulic fittings rather than do it yourself. They had to switch one of them to a swivel, because a fixed broke off while working. No charge either thime they adjusted with the replacement parts.
Great job Martin. Did you end up doing that entire project with one battery charge on your saw? Also it looked like poison ivy on the tree that you cut up. I can feel my skin start to itch! 😀 Great video as always!
Thanks, Marty! Yes, I did. The battery was at 50% when I was done so I had plenty of juice left. It was poison ivy, but fortunately I’m immune to it. Thanks for watching!
Where are your side mirrors?
When I don’t have them on the tractor, they are kept on a shelf next to the tractor. Since they get in the way of the chain boxes, I only use them when I am either working near the road or using a 3-point implement. Thanks for watching!
Sasquatch @ 1:47 ? 😉
Ah, yes! You’ve obviously encountered them too since you recognize their mating call. They are as common as squirrels around here, but famously camera shy. I have yet to get a good picture of one. Thanks for watching!
Always hate to see wood go to waste vs. giving it away to others that may want to burn for heat.
Guess I should have put a trigger warning at the beginning of the video. Thanks for watching!
