Good video as always Zach. Yes sir I was taught a lot but I learned a lot about cutting trees by doing and of course mistakes. Especially cutting trees off of fences after storms and cutting firewood. You can't help it sometimes getting your saw in the dirt and it doesn't take much for it to dull it. Nice looking job you are doing for your neighbor. God Bless Y'all too. Stay safe out there working especially in the heat.
Yessir brother you’re right! Long as I been doing this, I still get mine in the dirt every once in a while. And still get pinched every now and then. Thanks for the kind words my friend and thanks for watching and commenting! Take care and do come again, please
God bless you all there Thank you for taking me along to see everything
You’re most welcome! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. As always! Take care and come again when ya can.

I’ve seen final destination…..
Cool 😎 thanks for watching! Have a good day..
No mention of the dragging banding? I am from the long log part of the country in OR, i was shocked to vist VA/W.VA in the 90's and see those hayrack trucks with a jillion logs on each one.😂
Y’all do your thing, and we do ours! That’s what makes the world go around. Have a good day my friend, and thx for watching
@@zachodom7486 you should see the 'fibre log' loads here...I asked one trucker at our lil store how many logs he had on....119 long logs on one load...biggest was about 5" on the butt...🤣
@@danielkingery2894pulp wood loads is what we call em…we deal mainly with hardwood saw logs here. Min diameter on the small end is 11”. Make a lot of cross ties for rail road and then hardwood lumber. That’s what this load is for in the video, hardwood lumber, headed to the lumber companies for planning and finishing.
THANK YOU! for video's it's definitely a teaching tool with anybody that wants to learn. And most of all telling people about Jesus the only Saviour our redeemer, I try not to miss a video and looking forward to seeing that added trailer to your equipment.

Thank you for showing me the under cut so I don’t pinch my saw. I gave it a thought!!!😊
It’ll def help ya. Always cut the compression side first then the tension last. Sometimes the compression is on top and you finish from the bottom. But anyway, good to hear from you. And thank you sir for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Appreciate the Tips Sir , since i retired , i cut my own firewood , now , before when i worked i usually bought it . I like You , like the Older saws myself , got a Stihl 038, an 046, & 288 xp 32 inch bar , for the big stuff !! I appreciate Ya , i still learn something every day !! Take Care !!
Yessir you’re welcome and thanks a bunch for the kind words, and also taking time to watch and comment. Those old saws are jewels for sure. I cherish mine..take care my friend and do come again
Thanks for mentioning the the most needed message for our times. Don't you wish we lived in a world ruled by Jesus so that everyone knew and sought, with God's help, to live the 10 commandments every day--how truly different our lives would be for Good..
Yessir for sure. I know how Jesus has influenced and improved my life. And the leave that has came from it. And how I’ve tried to improve myself as a man, learning from the Bible and such. The world would be a much much better place. Thank you for the kind words my friend and for taking time to watch and comment: take care and do come again, please
Love to watch them pull together!
Meee too! It makes things a lot easier when everyone is together..thx for watching and commenting my friend. Take care and do come again, please
That’s a nice pair mules
Thank you sir!
I am so impressed at the bond and teamwork man and beast have together its such a pleasure to watch. I love mules well all equine
Yes for sure. Glad ya enjoyed it and thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!
My grandfather had two Black mules about 1400 lbs i have seen them pull a mule drawn cycle mower until they were almost white salt coming out of them. They made sure them mules were feed good and plenty of fresh water. You do this for fun they did it to make a living!
Yessir you bet. When animals work everyday it makes a difference. And btw…I do work them for a living…my logging business won’t work itself lol. Take care my friend and thx for watching.
I had no teacher when I started cutting with a chainsaw and so it took some experience of pinched saws till I learned the right approach. Your video would have come handy, but you were only a little kid then.
There is a lot of us that learned that way. I saw my uncles and Pa cutting with saws. But honestly, they never really taught me a whole lot. More of a monkey see monkey do type of thing. I learned several lessons the hard way too. Thanks for the kind words and for taking time to watch and comment my friend. I appreciate you. Take care and do come again!
Thanks Zach for your words and videos. This world needs more of your and Mr Summers wisdom 🙏 🤗
Thank you my friend, that means a lot to me. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment also. Take care and do come again, please
How do they know which logs are your to pay you after hours?
I write my initials on them. And I text my mill rep to let him know when I’ve hauled a load or loads in. Pretty simple deal…thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again.
Dear Zach Thank you for making this wonderful video Ill be praying for you all there God bless you all there and the animals too Take care my friend
Thx my friend! And likewise..thank you for taking time to watch as always. I appreciate you. Take care and do come again, please

Good deal! Glad ya enjoyed it! Thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
That is good.

Yessir you’re welcome and thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and do come again please
Good job, miss the Mules be safe and be well,
I’ll have a video out of them soon. We’re getting spoiled up for the next job. Thanks for the kind words my friend and for watching! Take care and do come again, please
Should say you are a master.
Thank you sir!
Outstanding video, great discussion about what & how to do logs , you a master of what you are doing , stay safe !
Thank you sir! Maybe not a master…but def experienced lol. I’ve stuck several in my life. Anyway, thank you for taking time to watch and comment: take care and do come again, please
i have pinched more than my share not so much now but just learning as a teen ager back in the seventies. Great advice Zach have a great day and thanks for sharing.
Yessir, I’ve pinched quite a few myself. Even ruined a few chains doing it. Heck, I still pinch one every once in a while. It happens. It does seem tho the more you do it, the better ya get and learn better techniques. Thanks for the kind words my friend and also taking time to watch and comment: take care and do come again, please
I've driven a lot of horses but never owned a mule. Two mules used to called a span of mules. I haven't heard that phrase for many years. What is the reason for the " pigeon wing" blinds used on mules? Do they tip their head back and look over conventional blinds?
Hello! Yes I have heard of a “span” before as well. So pigeon winged blinders were used on mules mainly because of their peripheral vision is better wider angled than a horse. A mule see around its sides better than a horse can if that makes sense. So, the pigeon winged blinders wrap around the mules eyes better and prevent them from seeing over and/or around the smaller square blinders that’s typically used on a horse. Hope this answers your question. Thank you for the kind words and also for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Like watching and listening to a surgeon! Love it! Once again I have learned something about cutting and managing a chainsaw! Thank you sharing your vast knowledge with us!

🤣🤣 that’s too funny! Well, thank you for watching and commenting at least. And for the laugh! Thx for the kind words also. Take care my friend and do come again, please

You have to good trained mules.
Thank you kindly! I am proud of them. They’re an honest pair. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please.
What's the most weight you've put on that truck?
Probably the most is 10 tons worth of logs; truck empty is 13,500. Gross weight is 32k. I’ve been close to 35k a time or two unintentionally. Sometimes it’s hard to guess the weight. It’s been a pretty old truck! Thx for watching and taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Where’s your supervisor today ?
She was playing with her friend Rachel this day. I’d say she was prolly still sleep. This was an early morning job. Quick job..
Annie is a sharp girl I always hated a dull chainsaw
Yes ma’am, a dull saw is a dangerous saw. You’ll burn one up too! Thank you for always watching and commenting. You’re a treasure! I’m always happy to hear from you. Take care my friend and do come again, please
I cut firewood in the early 1970's to heat my home (during oil crisis). I learned the hard way without any knowledgeable people to teach me. The lessons were hard, although they were permanent. I enjoy the availability of experienced teachers who use the internet as a positive teaching tool for those who want to learn. I accepted the Lord when I was 28-years old, now I am 79. Blessings to you.
That is awesome! I too learned some lessons the hard way. Learned some from older hands. I am blessed no doubt. Thank you sir for the kind words and also for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it! Take care my friend and do come again, please
good job
Thank you kindly and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Thank you Zach Enjoying your videos
Yes ma’am, you’re welcome! Good to hear from you. And glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thx for watching and commenting. Take care and do come again, please!
@@zachodom7486 Always
Good to hear from the pro! I put my bridles on last also. I like to break them open face first, then use blinders so they don’t pick up on my movements. Great video!
That’s a good idea brother. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and do come again!
We're needing a trailer to We think we want a 20 ft goose neck with 8 thousand lb axles and single wheels
Cool 😎 yessir I’m thinking a 18’ will do me just fine. Pintle hitch. Dual tandem 20k. Will make a few things easier. Hopefully soon enough. Thank you sir for taking time to watch and comment as always. Take care and do come again.
You must be strong as all outdoors
I don’t know about all that. I guess I’m strong enough to get the job done though. Thank you for the kind words. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again.
Great information! Thank you for sharing!
You are most welcome! Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again.
There will be peace inthe valley for you and me
I do believe that also. Thank you for the encouraging words… And also for taking time to watch and comment.
It's defiantly a process, is there a way of making a trailer to not only haul your skid steer but also a double for logs to the mill?
Yes! The bumper pull pintle hitch with removable stands would accomplish that. I will speak more about that in the next video coming out 😉 thanks for the question and also for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!
Thank you for sharing such a great video and sharing of your knowledge. Your little helper is going to grow up to be quite the teamster. Wishing you all the best.
You are most welcome! And thank you so much for the kind words. I sure do hope my little helper grows up as you say. Me and her had a lot of fun making this video. Thank you also for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again.
I've been watching your videos all evening. I sure enjoy them. What a blessing to see the mules work together. My father as a boy, told me of working mules plowing for Tobacco. He was a good man. As I was watching you're mules work it occurred to me that God provided us with all we need. Without the humbleness of these animals none of the hard work that they provided for us would have been possible. All the lessons that Jesus taught us can be applied to training and working horses and mules. Patience, humbleness, kindness, wisdom and long suffering are but a few. You're a good man Zach and may God bless you in all you do. Thanks for sharing this and Jesus with the world.
That is awesome! Thank you very much. I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate you. And thank you for your words of encouragement. Take care and do come again.
That’s a rich man’s out fit. 2 big mules mini and Red and plow and stock no ride deal you walked and held plow stock and lines.my daddy would never have let us plowed ground that wet. He’s going to have a lot of dirt clods!
It depends on where you are, and what kind of dirt you got as to what kind of clods it will make. There are certain types of dirt that you will not plow it unless it is a little bit wet. And I can promise you one thing… This old man and this pair mules has plowed more with a walking plow than anybody I know. And I used to break 10 acres a year with my team and a walking plow!
That's not a great video buddy Glad things are looking up for you it's always be safe and be careful take care buddy thinking about you your friend Billy take care brother
Thanks Billy! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment my friend. I appreciate you. Take care and do come again.
Zach, That is part of the work that most don't ever see. Thank you for sharing the jobs that are required to do what you do. Blessings...
Yes, sir, buddy, you are right. Most people think all I do is hold a pair of lines in my hands and drive mules all day, but there is a whole lot more to it than that! Thank you for the kind words, and for also taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again
Thank for these videos. Mr.Summers reminds me of my Dad who used mules.
You are most welcome, and that is awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again.
Thanks Zach, very interesting video ,It looks like your daughter likes being with you, be safe and be well
Thank you, sir, I’m glad you enjoyed it! And yes, me and her both have a good time together. Thank you for the wishes, and thank you also for taking time to watch and comment. As always. Take care and do come again.
