I haven’t seen many other veneer cutters.

Appreciate the technical explanation of the cut. Can you share more about your business from how you make a profit, financial challenges like slow pay clients, how the industry changes with market changes… etc no need for your specific data points but just general examples and lessons learned? Thank you!

I’ll touch on business generally, but to be honest company policy is to be tight lipped about our actual business practices. We don’t want our competitors to catch up and or new competitors to arise.

Interesting way to put em down.

Walnut is my favorite hardwood. I am always impressed with how open the woods are where you are cutting. You always seem to have so many options with the expanse of the woods. Where I live the woods are dense and choked with vines and invasive bushes and trees. I like your felling method. You have a lot of no nonsense content. It is refreshing to see someone that is willing to inform and not be a complete narcissist about it. Whenever I am cruising videos I always run across someone with the camera trained on their face like they are the most interesting person in the world. Click!

Listen man I been cutting on my property for a year or so now just for firewood to heat the home and I watch a lot of content to improve my cutting, but your content is the best out there I would love to see more how to videos because your a blue collar and don’t use all that geek shit am just a garbage man cutting wood to heat his home and I appreciate your channel more then you ever know

That Skidder is Awesome. Plus the Way you cut the Veneer Trees are Fabulous. I am not doing to much this Weekend, to Cold and Windy out. I will have the New Saw in about 4weeks. It was good to get out the other day and cut some wood. For 1hour. The next day I put it away after Splitting it up. Cherry and Locust, with my Fiskers Axe. Now waiting till Monday to get out at it again. Stay Safe, and will continue to look for your Video's my Friend. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

For a guy that enjoys cutting trees and always looking at ways to preserve the log, this was a great video. I only cut for firewood, but am always looking at log trees and have on occasion cut for the log. I've seen several finished logs on trucks here in NE Kansas, but have not actually been involved with the harvest. Keep up the great work and be as safe as possible!

Are you putting stock size rubber back on? Judging from the dozer, maybe some 73-44 floaters would help make a machine that size and weight more versatile for you!

I’m gonna put the 30.5 32s back on it I will just use that machine when the ground is right. I like to be able to turn tight in the woods. Our average job is in 20acre range so I have to be kinda nice to surrounding timber.

I've never seen anyone except for you cut trees this way. I assume this method would only really work if your drop zone and your direction of lean are the same. You clearly know what youre doing but man I'd be scared to try all of those funky cuts, where'd you learn this stuff?

@markespich8574 a finished product with fiber pull would be thrown in the chipper and fed to the boiler. See when you pull the fibers it becomes cracks in boards or veneer that falls apart. Look at the end of a log that came off an ugly stump. Those holes are voids in a wood product that will be produced.

I dig the info!

2 ай бұрын

What would be the purpose? No not unless think they will be a problem for the skidder or dozer. I don’t make any extra moves that could take my time. Unfortunately in this day and age it’s extremely hard to find help so my time is a valuable commodity. I get the trees down safely with quality in mind then I get them out as fast as possible. Now with this all being said I’ll trim stumps but it is gonna cost a pretty penny. See to be able to maintain what I pay for the timber I gotta move fast. No land owner I have ever come across will pay to trim stumps.

Perfect :)
