I hear you on the truck! My grandpa had a 1982 Scottsdale 3/4 ton. Many good memories in that old truck on his farm. Wish I could have ended up with it
Sounds like you need a nephew or a cousin that needs a job to help do firewood! You're very fortunate to have that quality of a processing machine, backhoe to load, skid steer to sift and load, trucks and trailers to haul, and a stockpile of seasoned logs ready to go! Now, my dad would say you have too much time on your hands to run a firewood rig or operation when you could make way more money doing construction work or operating that equipment you already own! Personally I'm fascinated by those processing rigs and think the only faster rigs have those massive 3' blades instead of chain saws! I would tell him look we're heating out barns, buildings, houses etc by firewood anyway and this will pay for itself in only a few years.. LESS if I can sell some firewood!
Chevy's are THE BEST!!! Of the 8 cars we've owned in the past 44 years, only 2 were not Chevy's. The only reason I got the rid of the last one was because it got totaled on black ice on the highway. I'm still driving the 2003 Impala I got after that and it runs great. Best part is, it's been paid off for 10 years. Like Ann Landers always said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
DLH Farms you dang right! I got a 98 z71 that I'll keep till I'm long in the dirt but it's still nothing like a real square body. Been keeping my eye out for an 85 k20.
Preciate it! Definitely gonna shop around for one that's not completely wore out. Where did you get the hydraulics for yours? Was it a kit or homemade? That'd be nice moving equipment around!
+Joe Pugh. I ordered the pump kit from deweze and made my own hoses and found an old hyd. tank off another truck. You can buy the electric over hyd. valve from northern tool.
great video just found youre channel glad i did i am from eastern ky i cut my own wood but if u were close by i would buy youre wood keep up the good work god bless
got it figured out don't ya , that's the way to go , they say the less you handle it the better , yeah that rock blade is the trick , the trailer looks like about a quarter to half a cord , how much is the trailer load ? Put you a plastic life size owl in your barn where the birds are and it'll scare them away but it's not fun as shooting is it lol like your airguns , love the firewood truck too
Hey, I'm new to your channel, I've been here now a few days and enjoy it very much. I like air guns also, I have a Air Force Condor SS 22cal an a BSA r10 mrk2 in .177 with a day/night vision scope.
+Malcolm Connor. Awesome guns! I haven't had time to do any shooting lately unfortunately but when I do I'll try to make a video. Thanks for checking out my channel!
Another great one. BTW - is that a Back-Hoe attachment in front of the rock rake/bucket? Re: the old green truck, I agree with you. It still has a life. I'd guess you have a great attachment to it... it was your granddads, you learned a lot from it & with it, it doesn't cost you anything in your yard and it still has a life... Same as your F150 7.3D. I can relate - I'm an F150 fan too. Was my first truck @ 14 (F100 Fleet-side - 3 on the tree (also red LOL) 40 some yrs ago... 0On my 4th - 2015 XLT Extended Cab 4x4 (also Red - fav clr too!). It's an Aluminum Body though, thus a bit light (weight wise) for winter roads around here. So I carry 'bout 300 lbs sand in the back behind the wheels... Like all the videos thus far (back to 2012 or 2013) - both jobs. Nice to see the Mrs. and Jr with you some too. Keep them SAFE too. 👍 👍 👍 TTFN.
I know I'm a bit late to the vid but I also love air guns. I have a airforce talon pcp .22 cal also a 3000 psi tank. biggest thing iv taken with it was a jack rabbit. I know I can take bigger judging by the size of the exit hole
If you like air guns look up Blue Ridge Airguns, Verona, Virginia. They are into airguns calibers up to 45. You would like. Nathan the owner is a farmer who enjoyed airguns.
New Subscriber here. Really enjoying your videos! I mess with a lot of firewood too because I have a outside woodburner. Wish I had the setup that you have, sure would be easier on me. I am right outside of Clarksville and 58, straight shot to Meadows of Dan. Man, I love coming thru there when I am visiting all the towns in your area. My wife will not let me pass the candy factory without stopping! Alright let you go and looking forward to more videos!
Cool. Do you know about what you get on a trailer load or do you just charge by the cubic yardage of your trailer or something like that? I imagine some customers stack the wood and kind of let you know how much is on a load and is there much difference between a loose load of 14 inch wood vs. 24 inch wood?
+Digby O'Dell. Yes it holds about 3/4 of a cord of 17inch wood. 24 inch wood is a little less but not much. I've been doing this for several years. You are right my customers let me know about how much is on there over the years. I sell it for $110 to $130 a load depending on the length shorter is more time consuming therefore it's more expensive.
That's an interesting operation you have there. looks like a contractors yard. I only see you, Do you operate that whole business?? I have a question about the wood delivery, is that 2 cord of wood?? looked like a good amount of firewood.I liked your rock attachment idea, made easy work of lifting and loading that fire wood. good thinkingOh, that pick up sounded awesome, hahaha, its a very impressive yard I have to say, you have my sincere respect and admiration.
+Ben Bryan. My dad. We have a construction company called D.L. Harrell Construction. Check out some of my other videos and you will see some of it in action.
Do you stack it for the customer? or just dump it? Or maybe I should watch the video all the way through. lol Nice video. I was thinking about starting to cut firewood for a extra source of income. I already have most of the equipment I would need. Do you do your own logging?
I don't know how many Cords of firewood I've split with an Axe a Sledge Hammer and wedges. I didn't appreciate what it was doing for me then wish I had a few cords to split today I need the exercise since I retired
You make it look easy but I guess it helps if you have the right equipment. I'm new to this so I was wondering what that trailer load like you had would cost? Down here in Florida prices seem to be less per cord. Do you sell by the cord or by the trailer load? Thanks.
+Charles Bynum. Years of talking to the customers I sell the wood to. When I first started about 8 years ago I asked several poeple and measured there stacks of wood. And I always sell it as approximately x amount. Never had a complaint about the volume.
+Charlie Walsh. That one won't, I like to use it inside, but it's only good for about 50 yard shots. I've got a .25 Cal. Benjamin Marauder that I use outside for up to 100 yard shots. I like to watch Ted's Holdover he taught me a lot.
So I checked around here my area Northern Ontario Canada and the asking is 75 to 90 dollars for what they call a single 16 inches wide x 48 inches high x ninety six inches long . It takes three of those to make a full cord . and it also now depends on if its hard maple or a mix . I also like your farm trailer , keep up the interesting videos
if you got a system and it works why change it and take that money right out of your pocket . I lust had to replace my 1983 chevy pick up cause the frame rotted through and broke it had over 750,000 miles on her it was a sad day !! But i didnt buy new i got 2011 chevy . well bud have a great day and shoot up them pigeons
+carl snow. Trucks are crazy expensive ride them till they can't ride not more. I got about 60 pigeons last year. I've got about 5 this year so far, not to many hanging out in my barn anymore. Haha
@@DLHFarms You might like listening to some Old and in the Way or Jerry Garcia Band, both offshoots of the Grateful Dead. My 2 year old boy loves seeing the equipment.
Dude fire wood, hay ,farming, you are a sucker for punishment!!!!! Good luck.
I hear you on the truck! My grandpa had a 1982 Scottsdale 3/4 ton. Many good memories in that old truck on his farm. Wish I could have ended up with it
To bad you didn't get it, this one has been rebuild and repaired many times to make it this far.
Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying it!! Keep up the good work👍👍
+Spencer McGinty. I sure will! Thanks for watching Spencer!
truck is gorgeous and will never fail you I have a 78 they are tough simple old trucks
I agree with that!
Memories and tradition - Thank you

+Mike Wawrzkiewicz. Hope it works good for ya!
Love the videos. Keep em comin.
+Andrew Sanders. Thanks Andrew!
I used to burn firewood when the propane prices went to the ozone but glad we have natural gas now. Is cheap and no mess or work with firewood.
Yep
you sir are a mind reader lol..... I was thinking the whole beginning of the video why doesn't he just park the trailer under it?? mind blown hahaha
+Zach Shannon. Lol! I knew that's what you were thinking!
never mind you answered my question, thank you
Run what ya got. See, thats how you can afford new things like fancy blue tractors and firewood processors! Waste not want not.
+Daniel Fischer. That's right!

That is some darn nice wood, if you lived near me I would buy from you.. thanks for the video
+MrMikey1224. Thanks! 👍

Like the deadhead sticker in the back window of the farm truck
+Jerry Beaver. Lol, that was on the window when I got it from a junk yard, the original window got broken.

I'm surprised DOT doesn't make you put a tarp or a net over your trailer to keep the wood from falling out?

+Roy Christophersen. Awesome! Thanks Roy! I haven't done any airgun videos, I need to do some.
Nice Air Rifle
+FixinThatUp. Thanks!
Got a question wouldn't be easier on y'all if you would just put your trailer under the conveyer belt
What are you charging for the trailer load, prices all over the place here in northern Virginia, I am at around $225 a cord delivered within 25 miles
$120 for that load. I get $180 per cord delivered around here
@@DLHFarms this would be $400 in Australia it's crazy
That's an interesting operation you have there. looks like a contractors yard. I only see you, Do you operate that whole business??

My dad is a contractor he owns the yard. I've worked with him all my life.
who owns all the heavy equipment in the background? there's well over $200k back there!!
+Ben Bryan. My dad. We have a construction company called D.L. Harrell Construction. Check out some of my other videos and you will see some of it in action.
Do you stack it for the customer? or just dump it?
Or maybe I should watch the video all the way through. lol
Nice video. I was thinking about starting to cut firewood for a extra source of income. I already have most of the equipment I would need.
Do you do your own logging?
+Digging 606. I do a lot of my own logging and buy a lot too. It take a lot of wood to do 100 loads a year.
My wood hauler is 1975 c20 my grandpa bought new :)
+Ace Powdercoating. Cool mines an 80 but my grandpa bought it new also.
lol good one
I don't know how many Cords of firewood I've split with an Axe a Sledge Hammer and wedges. I didn't appreciate what it was doing for me then wish I had a few cords to split today I need the exercise since I retired
That's a lot of hard work but good exercise.
You make it look easy but I guess it helps if you have the right equipment. I'm new to this so I was wondering what that trailer load like you had would cost? Down here in Florida prices seem to be less per cord. Do you sell by the cord or by the trailer load?
Thanks.
I sell by the load I get $120 for that load it's about 3/4 of a cord.
Hell yeah!
+Large Rooster 👍
Fire wood is $250 a cord here for hard wood ! 2 cord min
+D Steven Paisley. Dang! couldn't get that price here to much competition.
Pigeons taste good, taste just like doves!
+Bobcat1950. I've heard that, I normally give them to the farm cats that hang around the dumpster looking for food.
DLH, did you make that rock rake? 8/13/2017
+Stan Wilson. No, it's a bradco rock bucket.
Did you ever get the whole firewood bunker filled up completely
I did right before firewood season this year but now it's empty again.
What’cha charge for a load? Looks like oak, hickory and a little locust/wild cherry? Good lookin load !
120
How do you know there a cord 9f wood on your trailer I do the same thing in the winter hard work but the money great I put I my wood in cord racks
+Charles Bynum. Years of talking to the customers I sell the wood to. When I first started about 8 years ago I asked several poeple and measured there stacks of wood. And I always sell it as approximately x amount. Never had a complaint about the volume.
Why did you not park the trailer under the wood elevator?
does your air gun go through steel siding?
+Charlie Walsh. That one won't, I like to use it inside, but it's only good for about 50 yard shots. I've got a .25 Cal. Benjamin Marauder that I use outside for up to 100 yard shots. I like to watch Ted's Holdover he taught me a lot.
Ted is awesome! I like your channel too!
Ted is a great watch!
Is that a bradco rock bucket?
Yes i believe it is
Why don’t you just run the conveyor wood directly into your trailer and skip the loader step?
What do you class as a cord , I have heard so many different measurement please help me out with this if you can
+markbuilt. A real cord is 4 foot tall by 4 foot wide by 8 foot long. It's a lot of wood
+Nor Plan. Wow, people complain around here about 150 for a full cord, 4x4x8 stacked
Is that what is known as a bush cord ? I like your wood machine
+markbuilt. I've only known it to be called a true cord. I like my wood machine too, it has saved me a lot of work.
So I checked around here my area Northern Ontario Canada and the asking is 75 to 90 dollars for what they call a single 16 inches wide x 48 inches high x ninety six inches long . It takes three of those to make a full cord . and it also now depends on if its hard maple or a mix . I also like your farm trailer , keep up the interesting videos
