I'll take "hillbilly tech" over college tech any day of the week.

You made my day by having your wife do a guest appearance on your video. Happy that you are back making videos. You stay safe and happy. God bless you, family and the logging crew.

Did I wake up in some strange universe where DP is building a tree cutting machine and Logger Wade is building a excavator attachment 🤣

Keep up the positive attitude! No one knows what it takes to keep a business going unless you have been there ! Forty two years and still swinging.

Good old hillbilly engineering works really good

If Logger Wade and Dirt Perfect would combine their knowledge could have an awesome fabrication shop!! If you guys didn't do it full time you can come up with Patients on equipment attachments and sit back and let the $$$$$ roll in! You two guys are some of the best fabricators that I have ever seen! Keep up the great work!! Patient some of these ideas before somebody steals them away from you guys!!

Morning Wade! I had a PTSD moment when you were banding the bundle of ties, lol I honestly can't imagine how many feet of that I have used back in my steel days! Anywho...thank you for sharing!

Great to see your wife with that smile on her face. You two are a great team. Your ability to look at scrap steel and come up with a solution to streamline the operation is amazing. You are a blessed man Wade to have a wonderful family, a growing business even with the growing pains, and great employees.

House slippers and globs of red hot metal What could possibly go wrong 😂😂😂 Always good to see you, Wade 👍

Wade what a fine piece of work you have made this is what it is about putting a plan together and using scrap material to cut out the cost of buying it I commend you for this love the videos

Great job Wade ! I love that , if ya need it build it ! Keep it up young man ! I turned 63 today buddy but I have done a lot of that very thing in my work career, stay safe and glad to have your videos back , Joe

Good morning Wade nice Video keep up the good work. Stay healthy and have fun.

That seems to work very well. Great ingenuity. Stay safe

Mornin Wade.

Hi being able to alter and adjust things so that they do the job the way you need, that’s a great skill. Being able to reuse things that would have just gone to scrap is fantastic. Being able to do both with a smile on your face is priceless. Well did and all the best 👍🐝😊

Great build! Love that you explain what's going on for those of us that don't know!!

That was an awesome invention Wade ,God Bless You .

Nice job turning scrap into a useful tool to make your job more efficient!

The idea of using somthing thst is "junk" and making it have a purpose is somthing I've loved doing for 45 years now. I run a tiny sawmill operation and I will purposely make a trip to the scrap yard for steel to make a project long before buying new steel. I've been laughed at and all kinds of differnt stuff but at the end of the day if you can take 5 bucks and turn it into 50 it's a win! Too bad your not closer I have several sections of cutting edge I scrounge for another project laying out in the log yard you could use on that tie stacker! Great video!

Good to see ya fella ..peace and love from Cumbria UK 🇬🇧❤

Nice job Wade. Excellent piece of kit.

Wade? Never going to work? Without MBTS there to argue with you and tell you it was his idea? Thought you would know that by now? Love the attitude you have sir. Must be something in the water down there that you guys all have your pop together. Thank you again for taking us along sir? Totally interesting and very entertaining. ❤❤❤

Works great Wade. In Aus ties are called sleepers, as far as I know they are all concrete now.

Your mind never stops. Excellent Fab work.and.great video.

Thanks for breaking some of that knowledge down. I'm new to watching the logging world.

Man I just love your videos, that’s a slick little attachment!

You and I are each one of the few who have mechanical couplers.

Good to see you back. Nice job.

Those are some nice overalls. Having melted pits in several pairs of crocks while welding I can confirm they are fire resistant footwear.

Made my day tater with the philosiphizing and whatnot and such.

Enjoyed the video Wade. Keep doing what you do. The world would be a better place if more people were like you. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍

Wade, it is great to see you putting out more videos. I would love to see you back out in the woods again. Keep putting out your great videos.

Happy Easter to you and your family! God Bless!

Your videos are awesome wade, would not miss one

Wade, i hope you guys are able to weather the storm in this economy. We just had over 600 sawmill workers loose their jobs when Allegany Wood Products suddenly shut down. That doesn't include the logging companies left without work also. I hope things change for the better after November. Keep up the good work.

👖 Fancy Pants Wade wearing some new looking overalls.

Thanks for sharing sir.. Nice. That tool works great..

I look forward to seeing your videos. You are a hard working gentleman. I thank you for for all of the time you put into videos. Be safe and have a blessed Easter.

Looks like the tie handler turned out great, enjoyed watching 👍🏻

Nice build. Practical and tactical. 😂👍🏼

Nice to see the fab work to make a useful tool and save money! I just built a box blade for my small tractor and saved me $1k by not buying a new one

Wade you got cutting edge all over the place. Find yourself some heavy steel plate cut it to size and weld it on with 2 inch welds !!! Makes it easy to cut off to replace it when you need too.

Thx Wade for your hard work

That's a slick little attempt. Nice digsn

Hey Wade, nothing like wearing new clothes when you are working in the shop and using the torch. They won’t be new for long!

When I worked in the sawmill, the biggest supply was similar ties, too Japan and Korea, we had it all separated from the mill by conveyor layout with cut off saw plus palfinger crane ,operating by one person on every shift, very important part of the whole process of the logs recovery.

Got a little of the Mad Max feel with the sprocket on there

Great job!!

As brilliant as you new attachment for the mini din is, The bunks are even more brilliant. Cutting only one end as opposed to two has to be a time saver

good to see you on here again when you laugh it make the day better keep happy and safe 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice work wade !! Works Great 👍✌

Awesome job 👍

Love everything you do, young man. Your innovation is something else. It always seems to work and worked very well. Thank you for sharing.!😊

Hello anne 😊 good to see you guys back in action. 👍🌲 new Jersey logman.

308s are my favorite minis , they are big enough to actually do something with and small enough to get into tight spots . All the generations prior to the 308e2 that I ran seem to have over heating problems in the dead of summer but you can run it with the hood open and it fixes that problem . I did 8 hours in my 308e2 hammering rock down to 12'' minus today . I got it with 3 hours and it has almost 4k hours now not a single problem besides an alternator !!@

Always awesome videos

Hey Wade I watch all of your shows are also subscribed to your channel and I haven't got an uncle who does the same exact thing as you logging keep up the good work and I'll keep right on watching good buddy

new bib overalls are a great way to start the day

Your welder sounds like a hit or miss engine , looks like it puts out decent adhesive though, thanks for sharing !

Thank you for another great video. Cheers

I love those safety shoes.

I like the use of the discarded gears to have pin holes for the Pickup Pins. Nice idea. 🙂 Not bad on function and ability! Dirt Perfect would be proud of your design.

It might still work on backwards for some projects. Nice to have a choice. Nice designed stacker.

Great video! Working smarter not harder great job

Good job!

hello Logger Wade & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Logger Wade & Friends Randy

I’d say Wade that tool has your name all over it it’s one and only Mr Wade specially tie stacker tool 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

That worked out well. 👍😎

I thought Dirt perfect was pulling stuff out of the scrap pile and building stuff you really did looks great 👍

I'm just jumping in here so maybe you can excuse me not know all the history. Where do the ties go from here? Do you need to dry them to some point or to they go to treatment green? Every mill and logger needs a scrap pile. Whatever you need in is the scrap pile, you just have to pull it out. Kinda like an artist. I knew a lot when I got out of college. Then what I had to do was learn everything that the people in the woods knew. Thing about writing a harvest plan was that I might end up logging it. I miss cruising and marking timber. My hands would still love to grab my saw and cut timber and then skid and load it out. Been a hell of a ride.

It's amazing to me how you pictured in your mind what you wanted to build out of those scrap pieces of steal.

Wade, nice to see you back making videos again. Hope this all works out for you with the new tools and ties. I hadn't noticed if you have mentioned the state of a couple people who are regulars in your vids, so I ask- how is your mom, dad, and Fuzzy Wuzzy? Is it Stevie? Don't know what happened there, you used to say his name with such joy on the job and then he was gone. I leave y'all to your personal arguments and not be involved. I have worked with my cousin off and on over the last 20 years, then one day we get mad working with each other and don't work with each other for a year or ten. Its the same but different, we want different things and realize neither is going to compromise on our wants when it gets to that place. It can be the same but different, that's up to the both of you. It looks like a big circular saw would be nice for cutting those bundles once you get them all stacked but probably ridiculous to have sitting around and deal with. thanks for the videos.

Keep up the great work logger wade, From kiwi land

Great video once again by you

Sure it's awesome to have you back on KZfaq I truly missed you You're entire family Enjoy seeing your wife Tell her it makes no difference what her hair looks like She's still a Solid 10. Please tell your family to feel free to stick their head in The video As always I'd love to see them and looking forward to checking in on your boys after 5 months. Some of my favorite videos Is when the entire family on a Saturday would take on a project togethe Thanks again C[](:->)-[(❤#=]

Haha, Wade, we are having barn cleaner troubles. That's making money, build something useful out of scraps. That is a slick attachment. Good job 👍💪. Have a good one.

You must be related to dirt perfect.Because he's the only other person that I know of that can come up with crazy ideas making something from scratch that work

Nice new tool buddy as my grand use to say out for nout and u never know when u need it lol

Allegheny wood products is now closed. It was a pretty big sawmill/ kilnmill. I worked there for 20+ years. If you work in the lumber/ timber business dont take it for granted. Never thought id see the day tjat 800+ people would lose our jobs. Its actually heart breaking.

Need to put you all back on ax men tv show. Miss that show

I bet they won’t let you play the claw game at Walmart anymore 😂

I suspect you had to get some schooling on how to grade those ties. You need to do a video on the specs of rail ties. I think that would be very interesting.

One thing about it Wade between you and Mike (dp) if yalls day job doesn’t work out you could definitely go into building custom attachments.

It works , doesn't matter how it looks . As for the stack,what if that was stacked on railway irons and have some bunks made from scrap sitting on them ,with the ties stacked from the mill ,tidy ,easy to handle maybe some of the sorting time made shorter ,if you inow what i mean ? Can the ties coming off the mill be sorted by lenght before they are stacked , simple short or long then you can do the finnal pick as you have just shown ? I might be way off lol but one never knows until we pipe up with ideas . Great that you could wear your Sunday Best at work ,need a match tie 😅

I had a 8 hour surgery on colon cancer and the drugs they put you out on will screw up your mind of course getting hit by a car when I was a kid don't help nether . The doc mite ask you if you where ever hit by a tree limb be cause you like trees so much . I like trees but never got wacked . Keep a smile on your face , love you .

hi there interesting show . best to all john

Have you thought about the scrap use as possibly using them as making mates, would be a great use of this and bring some money back

Hey Wade, enjoyed the video. Have you ever thought about painting some lines on the concrete 8 feet and 11 feet apart to avoid having to get your tape measure out to measure your log lengths. Take care buddy 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. People talk a lot about Elon but I’m sure you could teach him a thing or two. Besides the entertainment I love the videos like this because they are educational, really enjoy watching a master creator at work. Always make me think about the problem you’re trying to solve and try to envision the end result prior to actually seeing it completed. Not sure if you have had the opportunity to check out DP’s latest creation. I’ve wondered what your take would be. He built a new pole saw for his excavator, that has a circular blade on the end driven by hydraulic power from the excavator. Using it as inspiration I bet you could make a saw for your mini excavator just for cutting your ties. Just need to add another hydraulic function to your boom. Maybe a giant chainsaw on a stick hanging off your tie sorter that pivots up out of the way while sorting. Wishing you and your family the best. As a side note, I heard DP is trying to make a class for kids to learn about the trades, if you could break out some time I’m sure you would be an excellent guest teacher. Only problem would be which of the hundreds of skills in your pocket would you teach. I’m guessing philosophy of creativity.

That is a nice piece of Hillbilly Engineering Tater. Impressive how well it works on those ties. BTW...never show up with new coveralls again. You looked like an executive trying to look like a worker.

The mini x sure is simpler to use than a fork lift for sorting ties.

all the ends that are cut off can you sell them for firewood or use them for blocks in some kind of repair shop to use as blocking

your wife is as pretty as ever, Wade you the man 💪,great video 👍👍👍👍👍

Your giving me so many ideas. I do like the size of a 308 vs a 312 or 313. Can you get a way with hauling a 308 on a gooseneck pulled by a F-350 sized pickup? I do have an electric brake controller in my 4x4 F350.

Can't wait to see you borrow DP's "Mad Max".

Wades Attachments Opinions are like ass wholes everyone has one lol

Maybe you could use the cotton wood and cherry for landscaping ties like I don't think they are held to the same quality standards as railroad ties, wouldn't just about any wood do for landscaping ties hell you could get rid of your pine too. Just a thought wade you probably already heard that from others smarter than me. again God Bless You .

Brilliant. 😎

HEY WADE, LOVE THE QUICK SCRAP COLLECTION THAT TURNS INTO HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE OUTPUT EFFICACY QUESTION...........CAN YOU SHOW US 3 OR 4 TIE BUNDLE ENDS BEING CUT OFF. THANKS👍👍👍

I was mainly into cutting oaks and eculyptus sometimes they were 50 inch in diameter at the base of them and 200 feet tall and there trunks went all the way from the ground up to the top of the tree 50 inch in diameter it was fun for me being a logger but when it came at the end of the day and to get my money no was wanting to pay me for all of my hard work that I did for them I m just like how that you are wade I’m just kicking back my cousin one day called me and asked me what am doing I told him I’m just sitting back and digging the world and he told me that life’s a garden and to dig it my grandfather did that all of his life he just sat around digged this messed uped world he use to tell me he was like kid he would call me kid he would say to me kid you need to sit back and dig the world like how that I am and my grandmother his wife was like Jim don’t be telling him what that your doing he will be out doing what that you are doing and shure enough I’m doing like how that he was doing digging the world
