This was a treat. I burst out laughing watching this for the second time. I realized the difference between youth and experience on the "go around the gate." hysterical.

It's fascinating to watch how you convert dead, lightning-struck trees into useable lumber. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see you getting use out of the dead trees. I was pretty concerned when you tested the soundness of the standing log & didn't immediately look up. I work as an arborist & there are times that the hammering of a wedge into the back cut has caused a branch to let go. I was taught to ALWAYS look up as you work on dead or dying trees. Live trees have their surprises too.

I appreciate to see when trees are used and not just left to fall and rot. Good on you.

Great job in saving those trees!! 👍 Your little boy is so interested in all of the tools & the things you're doing - adorable! That's wonderful!! Good job, daddy, in taking time to get him involved! 🌟💕 God bless you and your family!

i am very happy to see that you have learned to back well away from the tree when it starts to go. you have a lovely family and you need to stay safe for them. God bless you and yours.

Great work! Thank you for sharing with us all!

I've never cut down many pines but I've cut up a million after they fall across the roads. You do a good job with your cuts and use of wedges. I've done a lot of firewood in my life and have dropped countless oaks and hickories over the year. It's always an adventure and they can get away from you very easily. We have 85 acres over in Alabama with a lit of mature pine and I'd like to get a mill and try this out. Good stuff!

Hey J! Not sure if you saw my comment on the last video or not, Would you mind emailing me at falllineridge@gmail.com? I want to talk to you about where you got your Pigs .

We have 19 acres that has several large straight pine trees that I wish someone would take advantage of. So glad to see men like yourself teaching you son how to use things the Lord has given us. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and God Bless.

Great video! Nice felling. Nice milling. Nice star pattern. Nice travels. Nice 'Thought Process Machine' your little one is possessed of. Nice. Thanks!

I forgot, I'd already Id-ed you as good people. A Kubota man is #1!!! I have a 12 yr old B3200. Bought it new. I had a B2710 for 13 yr before that. It had a WR Long 4-N-1 loader bucket. I boosted my lift with bigger cyl and a new connection point on the boom arms, worth every hour. I sold the B2710 to my friend. I traded the loader off the 2710 to the 3200 and modified a Bobcat 4-N-1 for 3200 and the old loader. A great combination. Your L should at least match mine. You can boost your hyd pressure real easy with shims in the pressure control valve. Plenty of how-to's on KZread. You get better yield out of your logs than most I've seen. great vids....

You really do a lot to help the family and saving the wood that can be used for building things from the tree's that you cut down and I think that is so very nice of you doing it all for yourself and the family.......

I know he is glad to have you!!

You’re such an inspiration 😭

I live in Michigan and golf quite a bit, and it really disappoints me when I see lightning damaged or trees that came down in storms just dragged off the courses into the woods to rot, most being hardwoods like oak, and maple, and ash and sometimes walnut. Such a waste. Nice to see you getting something usable out of those trees

Happy Thanksgiving from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 🇺🇸

Saw dust spray is coming out narrow and straight 👍. You have your blade and mill dialed in. Accurate mills are fun to run. I run a cooks mill and keeping it dialed in is my favorite part. Happy milling. I'm gone go ahead and subscribe.

Good to help one another.

Great job and also a great cutting of dead trees. Really makes dead trees useful!

My Echo 620p let me down the other day. I had a big dead pine to buck up and haul to my mill and the Oiler quit. Had to get out my old 290 Stihl. My echo has about 3 hours on it.

Just love these videos, working off the land with what you have What do you do with all the sawdust off that mill ? You must get a fair amount off ripping down logs It’s good to add some to your soil in your vegetable gardens

Only found your channel today. What do you do with the offcuts? Fascinating videos.

Hey there Bubber, do you think the miscalculation may have been the result of not measuring the log and instead guessing what the dimensions were? Could be, eh. Love the video.

Yea it did seem like you could have gotten even more out of some of those logs, but he got what he needed

Making good use of the wood, rather than let them rot or disintegrate in the wind 👍

That's a ton of effort. As long as I can get it low enough to avoid with the bush hog and not hang the tractor on I'm fine with it. It'll go away in a few years.

Hey, did you have to make any modifications to your drip system when you switched to diesel?

Nice video. can you please explain "wayne" and "cant".

@falllineridge

Жыл бұрын

The cant is the square "log" after the first cuts are taken off the log, it can also be (as in this video) the two 4" chunks of wood before the 2x4s were cut off of it. Wane is when a piece of lumber has one or more edge on it that is not complete...it's caused by making the piece of lumber from the outside of the tree. So, part of the 2x4 is round like the outside of the tree. Hope that makes sense.

I'm curious.. when you take down a tree, do you put a sapling( new tree in its place?)

I know you have a lot of trees there but do you ever replace any for the future?

If you put the bark pieces through a wood chipper would that make good pig pen ground cover?

@falllineridge

Жыл бұрын

Most likely, but my plan is to have them in paddocks. I'll move them around to different areas to help clear land, so no need for ground cover.

Pretty sure I know the answer but why did you cut all those into the stump? So it will rot out quicker?

Not yet.

Why don't you just saw the logs from the bottom with your chainsaw when you have the tree felled to buck it? I notice you always cut from the top and use your wedge, and it works, but it is so much faster to just saw from the bottom so the saw doesn't pinch and the log automatically falls out of the way.

Those trees look like they are pine beetle kill. If they have blue staining when you start milling then definitely beetle kill. FYI you will have more and more trees dying.

You need to start re-planting
