As you know there is a good bit of Locust laying on the ground that needs to get bucked up. Well today that is getting done in the best way I have ever done it.

    Brad I thought I was about to learn something new. I was hooked for a minute, then …… let the wind out of my sails. Lol My biggest bottle neck is bucking logs, but my system works slightly faster then what you just showed, not by much just a little, using my skid steer, so I better stick with it. I’ll put up a video soon showing my method. Great show non the less… Make-somedust Chuck

  • @arathkopf
    @arathkopf9 ай бұрын

    I use the same method to buck up my wood. I do have a word of advice though that I learned the hard way. Cut from each side back and forth. If you have too much weight on one side you will bend the coupler on the excavator and start to break pivot pins.

  • @Tonnsfabrication

    @Tonnsfabrication

    8 ай бұрын

    Ya it's really hard on it having all that weight out one side, we run a 35I and do this same process. What happens is the guy on the saw gets so excited because the process is sped up so much that they don't not allow the operator to make adjustments. When the machine starts moving stop cutting and step back, the operator is trying to help you not hurt you, this is a case where slower is faster.

    Nice work joe! That’s pretty cool brad. That’s how we used to do it when I would help my tree buddy with firewood years ago. We also used a mini ex to feed the chipper on big jobs. I try to hold logs up to buck with the grapple on our loader tractor but it’s not nearly efficient as a mini.

    Love it! I got so backed up with tree service wood one time that I rented a mini excavator to do exactly what you did here. It really speeds up the process and saves your back 👍👍 Although, I had to do it solo so I was constantly in and out of the machine. Still worth it though!

    Brad if you still got your backhoe attachment that came with your skid steer you can put a thumb on it and used it the same way. Just be a lot of in and out the skid steer. Nice video. Mike Morgan uses his mini excavator the same way a lot. You can get a grapple like skidded kev has to pickup the logs. Just an idea. Have a great day safe
