Hello Matt! Good to see ya found the fountain of youth! That’s where you’ve been😂 Glad you had great a great hunting season and holidays! UA-cam can consume your time for sure so awesome you had a break. Look forward to your clearing project👍🏻👍🏻

That old manure conveyor works great. Better than the new ones. Wish I didn't scrap mine now.

Can I get a green hat

Your downholder is not good...on the other side its much better Hans

Glad you were able to clean uo some of your off cuts. Nice goal for next year, mine is 50 full cords. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

what size tractor is this and is it enough?

What is the make and model of your horizontal splitter? That thing is NICE!

What did i miss. Why are you giving that wood away for free? Why can't you turn it into firewood for your roadside stand?

Happy new year. You definitely got lucky and didn't have any damage done to your roof. My goal for this year is to lose 50 lb and get back in shape

My Dad would grow a beard starting early fall each year. He would shave it on opening day baseball season for us boys each spring. He always looked so much younger like yourself! There eventually became a year when there was no opening day in the spring as we all grew up and moved on. His beard was almost to his belt when he passed away. Sometimes, production has to slow so the woodyard can get cleaned up. It is looking better as each load of junk leaves!👍

New year resolution to look 10 years younger. Lol.

Cutting down your buffer zone? Idk, I think I would leave it.

Happy new year matt, new year new beginning and great job on cleaning up the woodyard😂👏👏👏

Hey Matt , You look better without a beard. It's freezing cold here in Western North Carolina. Looks like you have tons of clean up in your woodyard. Looking forward to more videos. Kee Po warm and stay busy. Sincerely, Steve

Nice video Matt Lots of plans ! I guess you better always have your tractor under cover !!! The beard thing....I'd go with whatever Sadie likes ...you might reap more benefits !!!!😊 Happy New Year to you and Sadie !!

No Matt, you look more human now

Happy New Year brother !

First thing that comes to mind in a lower elevation is, does it have a time of year when its wet compared to surrounding areas. . 2nd is how much are you increasing the shade and decreaseing wind. . For the new area id suggest making one part ibc's one part mountain wood stack, to minimize moving the ibc's. Then as you empty ibc you could make another mountain. . One of the reasons we sheet are sheds in 1" boards is that issue right there. Had that 4x8" been a 4x4 it probably would have cracked. 0.01c

U look younger

Durham here, looks like we gonna get some snow Saturday :) . Thanks for all your videos, love your channel !

I'm glad the tree didn't smoke your tractor 🙏🙏🙏 Stay safe Matt

People stealing wet firewood is a new one. U should just make a sign on ibcs and sell it green then . Then u are making $ and not having to store it all to season. Single digits here yet no one's buying bundles from either of my roadside stands. Dry oak big bundles for only $5. I have more buyers for cedar kindling than I do for hardwood bundles. Been delivering facecords more regularly but I still have my 15ft tall ,50x50ft boilerwood pile and about 80 facecords of Seasoned dry firewood left. I've already got like 30 facecords of hardwoods split for fall 2025. I've got about 100 full cords of logs in my woodyard and still over thousand dead trees to log on 4 properties this winter including our farm. No shortage of firewood logs. I could use a firewood processor rental for wks

Dayum!!!! Looking fresh there buddy 💪

looking good Matt, keep the shorter beard/scruff. Glad the tractor and shed wasn't damaged from the falling tree.

😂 when the video started I was like " who the hell is that?". It happens, I have had a accident every time I get a new set of trimmers. Glad the damage to the shed was more 😊

I would like to offer some constructive suggestions, get rid of the axe, you have a splitter, develop a system, 1, the only wood coming out the left side should be firewood. Break your breakdown pieces from the other side so they stack on your right side out of the way. Every time you have to throw your firewood pieces over your breakdown pieces you are wasting time and energy. Break all your pieces down to blade width then do your multiple cuts in easy to handle bundles. It wastes a lot of time pulling pieces apart that the blade wasn't quite wide enough for. Good content and good comparisons of vertical versus horizontal. Enjoyed the video. I would have enjoyed more if you hadn't wasted time stacking breakdown pieces on your left.😥☺️🌏

Having a timer on screen might help with retention?

Definitely NOT a cottonwood.

I have a big pile of cottonwood rounds in the yard and the wood and the bark doesn’t quite look like cottonwood

We are all at an age and it’s easy to forget we will loose physical ability as we age. The 17VS-C is my choice. This vid, was very helpful in my decision process, thank you!

Is merry christmas

Let's see, compare it to my log splitter and my plans on upgrading it to a wood processor: old (am fairly certain Montgomery Ward) 5hp 30" stroke. Used $400. Ran great over a yr. Then my lack of preventive maintenance let the engine oil go dry and crispy crittered the engine and block. New 6.5 predator engine from harbor freight $135 + 200 mile rnd trip to get it $50 gas. So far...$585.00. Broke the guide plate bolts off yesterday. But, probably build a bigger push plate so, no biggie. Adding a lift: cylinder $100, power beyond valve $150, steel - from scrap yard - free. Hoses $75. Total so far...$905.00, adding cut off saw and log clamp and feed trough: each hydraulic motor - $100 × 4. 1 for saw, 1for feeding log to cut length, and one for a winch to draw log to processor, 1 for conveyer. 4 valves for each. $400. Bar and chain $50. Steel- again, gree from scrap yard. Total so far $1,655.00. Maybe a quart size reservoir so upgrade to at least 5 gallon $100. Total $1,755.00. Oops, almost forgot hoses and fittings...rough estimate $150/addition, 5 additions : $750, total $2500 roughly. And small, grab a log from the woods, bring log to itself, puts the log into the feed trough, hydraulic roller measures it out, saw cuts it, ram splits it, and the conveyer loads it in the truck/trailer/ bin. I also want to add...this is to make it easier for an old man. And one tiny rocket mass heater that doesn't use a bunch of wood. Not for commercial purposes.

If Hipa weren't sold out of almost everything...

The performance of those HIPA chains looked very good Matt. Merry Christmas to you and your family from another NC wood hound! - Dick

I understand that but it gives you more room to work with. You would have a lot more room for your split.😂💯👍👍

Great job Matt. Great saws and chains. Once the hickory sticks dry, can be a real pain to saw. Nice work

Hey Matt, nice buck up them logs, the lousy nails man get a chain every time. I’ve have to try some chains from hippa. Great video!

I have had good luck with hipa as well. Try to set the hickory off by itself because you can get more $$ for it than mixed hardwood. Enjoyed it

Hey Matt , I’ve had good luck out of their chains and all any small engine parts .

Great video Matt!! Ill have to try the Hippa chain. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

You need to get a metal detector and that way you can start going through your logs so you're not hitting any metal

Nice work brother, its nice to see you have some logs in now too. I need to work on getting some logs soon!!! Maybe this week💪💪 Seems like a good deal with the chains too, I've heard those chains are good for the money. Stay safe man💪

Murphys Law strikes again on putting a new chain on...😢 Have a Merry Christmas on the hill!!🎄🎅🎄🎅

The true test is the hardness of the chain. I run Husqvarna x cut because they hold an edge longer than Oregon.

This is the time that you could be taken to clean your woodyard up.😂

Always looking for a good deal on chains! Thanks for sharing!

Good haul!

swap your marker rod over to the other side or start at the other end of the log. Sorry, My OCD got the best of me. 😂

Hey Matt glad you got in some logs .

Out of the 462 or 400 what are the positives and negatives of both saws, in your opinion?
