Cutting Wood And A Couple Small Jobs On The Farm

Рет қаралды 13,782

Күн бұрын

The plan for the day is to head out and cut firewood, but before we can do that, we have a couple of small jobs that need to be done first. First Alan, is going to change the hook on his logging chain to a different styled one. Then, while the skid steer is warming up, Alan changes the gasket on the moisture trap in the milk house. Finally, it's time to head out to the woods to drag out a log and split it. Joshua helps out with loading the wood and they head back to the farm.

No shortage of things to attend to on a farm!!! That looked like good conditions to get wood other than the cold weather. At least you didn't have to wallow around in the mud.

I was watching you sharpen your chainsaw chain, and it reminded me of me when my kids were young, like yours are now, and I was doing the same same activity. I got chores done and cleaned the barn. Then, I would eat breakfast and get ready to head out to the woods. Good memories. Thanks for the reminder.

We had a flood in 2016. It washed down a lot of nice oak, hickory, walnut and ash trees, also some junk wood too. You couldn't even cut half a tree without sharpening a chain from the sand and whatever else. It was a pain but got it done. Took about a year.

Carbide chains last a long time in dirty wood.

@bioniclife 4 ай бұрын

I looked into carbide chain for some of the tree service sized wood I get. I only priced the Stihl carbide chain, and figured it's cheaper, and easier, to just keep using conventional semi-chisel instead of full chisel that I normally use. I keep a couple semi-chisel on hand now and they work OK on durty frozen wood. It's been almost a year since we got to meet. Man your channel is coming along!👍

It’s an art to be able to sharpen a chainsaw blade! I have seen blades until they are wore out. Keep it sharp.

I heard a daily farmer in MN use sand to excrete/separate manure instead of using hey. Sand is recyclable too

@trinitydairy 4 ай бұрын

Sand is very hard on equipment, and the equipment to recycle the sand,is much to expensive for a dairy our size.

As far as saw chains go for dirty wood file the chain @ 25 degrees it will stay sharper longer and try cutting from bottom to top it pushes the dirt away from the tooth instead of pulling it in

About how many bucket loads do you burn in a week during the colder days do you think? It was nice and cold by us and I split a bunch of elm that we still have standing dead in the woods. Well I don't know if I actually split it or splintered it but it works good in the furnace anyway.

I usually burn a lot of dead elm, but in the winter, the birch burns really well too. I am trying to make a stock pile, so I can have seasoned wood to burn.
