#292 Winch Trial
This is about time to show you the winch in action. Overall, it works great. I like the feature of unspooling remotely. The only detail is that it's really heavy.
Come along in my typical day out in the woods...

#291 Grapple VS Hay Bale
Переглядів 4596 місяців тому
We store a few big square hay bales in our dry box for Amélie's horse. Then Amélie prepares small hay bags to feed her horse in the other building where she has light and plenty of storage. So I have to move a big hay bale every 3-4 weeks from one shelter to the other. The grapple is more than ideal for the task!
#290 Logging Winch → Part 2

Part 2 of the logging winch. Assembling the main transmission and testing the electric clutches.
#289 Logging Winch
Переглядів 1 тис.7 місяців тому
I need a logging winch to use with my tractor. I could buy one, but I won't be happy. I want it to be remotely controlled and capable of controlling the spooling AND the unspooling action. And yet, to be driven by the tractor PTO. And to suit my needs, 3-ton pulling capacity would be plenty enough for my small 35hp Case 430 tractor. So I decided I would make my own version of it!

#286 Digging a Ditch, Dump Trailer & More!
Переглядів 849Рік тому
I dug this ditch last year, but without a light slope, it's hard to maintain using the lawn mower or even the offset flail mower. So I remove dirt to have the desired slope. Moreover, I need a significant amount of dirt for the next project (wife's project!). Let's put the new dump trailer in action!
#285 New Dump Trailer

I need a dump trailer, but I don't have time to make one... So the project is to update the hydraulic valve to have a float position
#284 End of Logging Season

Bucking and splitting firewood, which marks the end of the logging season of 2023.
#283 Summer Is Here!
Переглядів 386Рік тому
Here is a quick update of the most recent project. Heating the pool! I've installed a titanium heat exchanger (salt water needs titanium over stainless steel). It's a 360k BTU heat exchanger. It's well suited for our pool. We've gained almost 40°F in 24 hours. Yes, the water was just above the freezing point, to begin with.
#282 Snow Groomer Updates

I've done a few updates on the snow groomer but never showed the improvements in a video. I take advantage of the few inches we got to make that video!
#281 Roller, Boiler and Wood Stack Updates

This is an update on the roller in daylight, the boiler burning green wood (and why), and the logging season 2023 so far.
#280 Excavator Updates

Here is an update of the modification I did on the excavator.
#279 The Snow Roller
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Рік тому
I make a snow roller to maintain the trails. It has nothing to do with a lawn roller, being 42 inches in diameter, it can efficiently roll through a thick layer of snow. I use salvaged 11R22.5 wheels to make that contraption.
#278 Plowing with an Excavator? Of course!
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
Is an excavator any good in snow? I am hooking the snowplow I use with the tractor using the SSQA adapter. The snowplow is 7ft wide and the KX40 can handle it very well! I take advantage of the long arm to reach the top of the snow bank to knock it down. I also offset the turret to push the windrow further.

Very useful Thanks for this video. I have a question...What is in the blue tube ? A kind of grease ?
Not quite sure if you refer to the very small blue tube towards the end where I reassemble the carburetor's butterfly, it is LockTite. I don't want any screw to be swallowed by the engine... There was another bigger blue tube, it's a gasket sealant. Not quite sure I used it at that point. Thanks!
Like your presentation style and very informative mate. Great video. Subbed for more
Thanks!
This is gerat. I probably spend half my time in the shop sharpening edges of one sort or another. I kinda find it relaxing actually.
Great design! Interesting how to get the block to drop back it needs an inch or two extra on the return, have you found a way to make it drop better?
I'm catching up with your vids! Great work on that winch! impressive stuff!
Thanks!
Hi...are they back filling without water?
Yes they are! But there is great precaution about that. The water was added only a few hours after that. And they used net 1/2 in crushed stone, so no need to compact. If they had to compact, they would have to fill the water along. Thanks!
After cutting my feet 3 weeks ago cutting the same small treelimbs i also would like to make something like this faster and more save! Nice tools you have
That was one great consideration why I did that contraption. And also the ergonomics. Sorry about your injury.
Thanks for making this video!
You are welcome! I found the instruction so confusing, it made me think I could help others go through that! Thanks!
I just saw you mentioned by Dave @RCAF PolarExpress and just sub'd to your channel. Looking forward to watching your videos. Jeff @adirondackwoodsman
Thanks!
Wide base tractor(you 'll be O.K.)
You are right. Although it's not loaded with liquid in the rear, it's really stable anyway. Thanks!
tres bon video ! combien de corde passe tu par année environ dans la fournaise ? brule tu seulement du bois dure et sec ?
Awesome. I recently acquired a Gar Wood winch with the idea to build a logging similar to your creation. Do you have any documentation you are willing to share or links to documentation? Also, what bearings (size) did you purchase and from where? Thanks.
Here is for the SKF 7310 bearing www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007VGUN6W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for making this video! Was missing the rock guard piece.
You are welcome!
Thank you very much! I bought a flail mower without good install instructions and this (similar, very similar) flail mower instructions were very helpful!
My 611b has the same steering box. I have bent input shaft and the seal leaks so that’s a future project.
Just curious, what loader are you running on your 430? I have a 530 and I would like to add a loader.
I think this is the one that came with the machine in the 60's. You might want to check on MarketPlace, I've seen a few on sale. Thanks!
Love it! Theo
Thanks!
No surprise the winch works very well. Am I seeing mostly white ash being harvested??
Amazing set up Joe, sure does help the back out with the wench and log trailer :) Nothing better than working in the woods on a beautiful day. Thanks for sharing!
Yep! Working in the woods, nothing can beat that! Thanks!
Excellent set up, Joe! You are such a talented fabricator! Cheers!
Thanks!
Bonjour Joe! Another great project - the remote control was an excellent function too. You have your process complete now. So nice to see you again. Cheers!
That was a great test for the winch and it worked great. The remote is a cool feature
Thanks! I really like this feature!
Well done.
Thanks!
Great job Joe. You’re a very talented guy and know how to take a two or three man job into one. Your skills are on another level. 👍👍
Thank you very much Sir!
The remote is an awesome feature. So inventive for you to make that on your own. Nice to be in the woods (bush) again.
I like to put my creativity to a good use! And being out in the woods when the weather is nice, nothing can beat that! Thanks!
sure enjoy your videos
Thanks!
Un autre projet réalisé avec succès, bravo!
Very cool setup, Joe!
Thanks!
Awesome job Joe! You are an inspiration
Salut Joe!! Your winch is a winner for sure eh!! It sure can pull and with the long cable you can get access to a lot of trees. I'd call this project a success!! :-) Take 'er easy!!
Thanks Mike!
Let the fun begin Joe. Nice build!!! Later
That's indeed a lot of fun to pull such heavy logs by the simple push of a button!!! Thanks!
That`s a strong winch Joe and the beauty is that it`s fast. Nice workmanship....CHEERS
Thanks! I wanted to have around 100ft/min, which relates in my case to roughly 20hp required to pull 6000lbs at that speed. According to my calculations... Lol! Thanks!
Very impressive Joe, your home made equipment is amazing 👍🏻. Well done 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂🇨🇦
Sliding doors on the inside? 🤔 I like that idea
Good afternoon Joe
Thanks Joe, nice setup and operation, looks like you have allot of dead Ash trees. Take care.
Good Day Joe 😇👍Nice Cold Start Ups 👍👌😇Very Nice Remote Controls Set Up 😇👌👍💪Nice storage box and nice Extra Heavy Duty Dual Anchors 🧐💪💪Your winch is very strong Joe 👍👌😇💪 Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING Lumber Jack Firewood Action My Friend 😇😇👌👍CHeers 🍻
When I saw the title of the video, I thought " Did Joe buy some cows?" Then my second thought was, is he using the bale for weight to offset the weight of the winch! Take care
Ha! Ha! That is a good one! Because that winch is really heavy! Thanks!
Hi Joe, what an impressive project! That is an absolute beast and will be a welcome addition when doing wood. Lots of work and thinking involved on this one, turned out great. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Andrew! That is indeed a good amount of design thinking involved!
pas mal smart le bonhomme ;)
Not exactly the same grapple but the same setup that my daughter uses on their farm....nice easy job Joe.....CHEERS
The grapple and the cart are great solutions to moving those large hay bales. The Case handles the weight very well
I guess that answers that Joe. Very little effort. Love seeing the old Case in action
Good Evening Joe 😇👍👌That Bring Me Good Memorize When I Was Visiting you Last January 👌👍😇 Very Nice Winch That You Have Joe 😇👍👌Cheers 🍻🍻
Sweet
Quel beaux travail!
Надо тарельчатым алмазным кругом затачивать, а подводить лезвие к тарелке (заточному кругу) можно рычагом подъема пилы, а не продвижкой зажимки лезвия к кругу...Если непонятно, напишите, постараюсь объяснить подробнее....ри такой заточке как у вас будет необходимость в частой правке камня...
An interesting project Joe. It is definitely heavy-duty! I wonder what the weight of it would be? Take care
This guy is a genius
