Stay out of underbrush. I have paid Deere near 2 grand for wiring pulled loose. Need sensor too low under steps kept getting torn loose.

I’d be tempted to cut the trees down around half a meter or two feet up. Later on you could come back with the bucket on your tractor and then push back and forth on the stump. The higher the stump the more leverage you have. I did this with bigger trees I cut down. I hired a bloke with an excavator to do work on my farm including digging out the stumps. He said the taller stumps gave him a lot more leverage making the removal a lot easier.

I notice the same thing with the rakers and the Stihl sharpener. My thought is that the sharpeners are setup for softwood and not hardwood but I can't say for sure.

Enjoyed your video. Just ordered a carbide chain for my saw, it will be interesting.

Where's the Bark Box?

Get blades from Flail Masters, Murfreesboro TN. I just replaced all 112 on mine. They manufacturer them, so you skip the middleman. I have an extreme duty Tiger flail mower, I paid $1.65 per blade for 125. Good local business for me, but they ship everywhere.

Jerry from the channel Bigelow Woodcraft had a knee replacement early this year and videoed much of it. The recovery wasn't as long as I had heard.

Hi, every man needs at least one John Deere machine😁

you move pretty well for a guy with a bum knee. looks like a nice house lot for your man cave cabin

Thank you sir!

Everything is looking good Chris!

I guess I had assumed the flail was a Landpride. Have to admit we balk at the higher price of the Landpride implements too, but we did go Landpride for the 2 rotary cutters (5' and 6'). Snowblower and Woodchipper we went with WoodMaxx. That backhoe looks like a great addition for the land clearing you've been doing. When clearing the orchard site we realized quickly the tractors wouldn't be able to remove the nearly 1,000 stumps we had to clear and hired a track hoe. What we paid him would have bought two of those JD's! Would have been nice to have for other projects. Things are looking good Chris!

What's the story behind that fireplace/chimney in the woods by the trail? Was there a house attached to it at one time?

You've been busy! Interested to hear what issues you've seen with the flail.

The lights on my Kubota are not the greatest either...what was the brand you used?

Welcome back. You are the only person I've seen on YT use a flail over rougher terrain. Most reviews and demonstrations are on perfectly flat lawn like fields. How does it work going over uneven terrain and through dips? I've been considering one but wasn't sure how it would handle rougher terrain than is usually shown.

I have about 750 hours on my open station 5075E. 2 starters and cold start sensor have been only issues. I like the tractor alot personally

Owned mine for three years . Had to replace starter after only 100 hours. Roading it from one field to another tractor ran like crap, had a pinched fuel line. Tires are cheap made in India Galaxy brand and had to replaced one front tire after two months ,tire split from inside out and could not be repaired, second front tire did the same thing only a few months later. One rear tire split from inside out after about 1 year of use, had a 1/8 hole on outside and a 2 inch hole on inside. 300 dollars to fix. Needs better brand of tires and Needs wider front tires. And beware dealer does not put liquid in rear tire unless you ask so if you have a front loader tractor rear will tip up with a bucket full of dirt. I would rather find an older made in Germany John Deere. Their well built and will run forever.

Pop your front end loader up & down quickly a few times and you’ll be able to dislodge a lot of the sticks caught in your rake’s tines

Nice rig you have there,we have the same. A little point for you. Put a small fan in front of your draft door , it will push some cool air into your fire box. We have the last 2 years, huge improvement on your boil. Enjoy

Be well and be safe Chris, see you in Aug.

Guessing Noble or similar? four month rotation? tough. be safe.

Bon voyage and stay safe! See you in August.

Greetings from Finland

Do you burn the infected wood?

Appreciate the history with your farm name.

Them borer grubs would work good for ice fishing bait haha

I've wondered about the name and word on the tractor too. Those pine borers (I don't know their actual name) sure can move in quickly. Bearded Lumber down in NC have a market for swiss cheese pine for paneling.

I'm curious about the nods at Finnish culture, how'd you end up with the name Kalevala and Sisu tractor in the logo?

6", that's nothing, we got 16", blew 2 shear pins on the snow blower, had to drill new pin holes, couldn't find the broken pins. too muddy and greasy. Something to do when the weather turns for the better.

hi there good show john

I'm glad I wasn't the only one digging up some gravel plowing the driveway! How many cars end up in your driveway when they don't make that corner?

Good job to do, it seems like many folks wait too long to get next year's firewood split and stacked to dry.

Nice operation! Where are you located? Also I just sub’d.

don’t cut the black birch down, tap it and make birch syrup. 100 gallons to one.

What brand tires are they new ones? I'm trying to do the same with mine.

How much sap you leave in pan after you drain off , so not to burn up the pan, for your final last boil

Nice video

I am a little confused, well, sometimes that is an understatement. LOL. Why do you need a car relay when the temp controller has a built in relay? I have seen this before on some other videos and was wondering. I have this same setup but without the car relay and have had no problems. Just curious why it is needed?

It still seems strange when you turn the camera around and there is not a green tractor there 🤣 I started watching Nate at Bissell Maple some time ago because of his sawmill videos and continued with his maple videos...between him and you I'm picking up a whole new vocabulary of maple terms.

Love that rig! I want to updgrade for next season 2025. Shoppin' around!

spot on, sugar content is rather low. boiled 70 to 80 gallons of sap and got a pint over 3/4 gallon. sugar sand gumming up the filters.

Cool❤ when I was a young man I did this a a family farm in Mass

Deere is grossly overpriced, especially the smaller tractors and their parts.

Great video buddy, glad you're liking your new tractor. " Did I not get any of that?"😂 I appreciate you leaving that in so I could have a good chuckle first thing in the morning.

Glad to see you got a real tractor. John Deer are overpriced , made in Japan by Yanmar or some other manufacturer. Kubota’s will take a licking and keep on ticking.

Very subtle camera transition between the green and orange 🤣 I have to admit that John Deere's are good machines but when I was in the market I found them way more expensive than others and the proprietary front end quick attach turned me off.

That's a beauty Chris! We're very happy with our 2 Kubota's. Did you have to replace any loader implements due to the change from JD's system to Quik Hitch?

I'm happy for you...miss the snow...stuck here in Florida...

He can handle those tires just fine, in Europe they're sold with lot taller and wider tires
