Knuckle Boom BBQ Firewood Delivery
In today’s project, we’re using the Ford F550 with Fassi F50 knuckle boom crane to load up some Log Lift firewood bags for a local BBQ food truck delivery. We’ll fill the bags using customer made racks. Load them on the truck with the knuckle boom. Strap them down. Drive them through some pretty country. And finally unload the firewood at the BBQ food truck that’s setup at a local century farm full of family friendly attractions.

    Hey, I’m looking at the exact same knuckle boom, I’m wondering if an electric/hydraulic pump would work or do I need to find something else? I’ve got a cab and chassis f350 single wheel.

    • @FoxfireProjects
      @FoxfireProjects 16 днів тому

      Unfortunately, I'm not sure about the electric/hydraulic. Ours uses the truck PTO. I'm not sure the F350 frame could handle the addition of a knuckle boom, at least not the size we are running in this video. My personal truck is an F350 SRW, and the F550 frame is much beefier. Thanks for watching!

      No part 2 unfortunately, but it turned out great. Spread a couple loads of fill dirt and seeded with a turf grass blend.

      @FoxfireProjects Місяць тому

      Anything large with obtrusive root structure was cut and the stump left. Smaller trees were pulled out root ball and all, in hopes of disturbing the dam as little as possible. Have since spread several loads of fill over the top and have a nice crop of grass. Thanks for watching!

    Honestly I was quite let down after having the prosizer for a while. The red laser doesn't show up very well when it is a sunny day. I either had to cut wood on an overcast day, on the north side of the log, put my leg up for a shadow, or cut wood in the dark with a head lamp. Now the thing has a short circuit or something. Laser only comes on when I push the end. Not sure if I bumped it when dogging in a log. Would try the green colored one, but the whole kit cost me 110 dollars Canadian I think it was.

    • @FoxfireProjects
      @FoxfireProjects 2 місяці тому

      I agree 100%. I tried really hard to like the prosizer, but just never would work for me, unless under perfect conditions. Like you said it's great in low light, but those days are rare for me. I even tried the green version, which got knocked one time digging into a large log and never acted right since. Like so many things, great idea on paper. Thanks for watching!

    @peterjohnston1224 3 місяці тому

    I don't know what you sell your wood for, but in this part of Canada, I pay $660 for two full cords of dried hard-wood delivered. So if you do a solid 8 hrs = 8 full cords = $2,640 worth of split wood a day. Then, if you deliver it, that is time taken away from production, so hopefully your customers are within a 30 minute drive. Say, 20 miles. You could do maybe 6 deliveries in a day = $3,960 /day. At 240 miles for 6 deliveries, and a 4 x 4 pick-up pulling a 2 cord self dumping trailer at maybe 10 mpg = 3/4 of a 139 liter tank = 27.5 gallons x $US$3.59/gal = about $100 in gas = 2 gallons for the splitter or US$110 for fuel = $3,960 - $110 x 2 times a week = $3,850 x 2 = $7,700 a week. Do that for 10 weeks a year and you 're good to go @ $77,000. If you are incorporated = 11% tax (in Canada). If sole proprietorship, hopefully you've got a bunch of write-offs and 20.5% Federal tax. Yeah, not bad money.
