Merry Christmas guys
Merry Christmas!
Nice. You did a dutchman on your humbolt. That's how to roll them.
I am not sure I understand. Are you saying that one side of the notch closed first thereby causing a roll?
@woodruffwoods that has been my experience on rolling them.
It was a good demonstration of conventional and Humboldt.
@@bojimbooth Thanks for the comments and watching the video
How is the defender running?..I am going to look at a 2025 this weekend.
I absolutely love this thing! I cannot believe how often I am using it. Some tips 1. Don't buy the factory stereo, it is really sub par. 2. Change out the bulbs on the headlights to the Beamtech H11's. 3. I added the factory headache rack but wish I would have done the Thumper Fab as it mounts to the cab and not the dump bed. 4. I hate that the doors do not lock. Let me know if you have any questions.
@ Good to know.. For 2025, the limited now has door locks on the handle, also the door seals are beefed up for a better seal. The windows are also slightly tinted from factory.
@@dannymcnally6211 there is a lot of glare at night in my back window. That would benefit from some tint
Worthless review, this is 100% the 25T 4 way wedge on a 40T unit Of course it doesn't work right. Smh
@@Athletesperformance1 in fact you are partially correct. It was boxed incorrectly in a 40T box but it fit my neighbor’s 30T perfectly. So my guess is that it may fit the 25 ton machine as well but I cannot confirm that. What I do know is that I bought a wedge from TSC that said it was for the 40T splitter and it was worthless. It was only slightly better on a 30T that it fit better. Thanks for watching!
Do you know what size or part number those bearing buddies are?
@@ryanmoist498 I am sorry I don’t off the top of my head. I took a measurement of the inside diameter of the hub and bought these at an auto parts store
Pretty sweet set up!!!
Thank you!
Long time no see !
I am trying to get back to this. I really miss it
I am trying to get back to it. I really miss it.
I recall Woodruff n j as a young cub scout and boy scouth Rev Simon a good man. Also Woodruff family with church and Indian arrow heads . I have a new splitter like yours. Yours truly Evans w Robinson ret Sgt
How is that splitter working out?
I was going to say “it’s been a minute” since your last video Darren but you took the words out of my mouth.
LOL! That is really funny!
I was just thinking it’s been a little while since any of your videos came up in my feed. I know it’s time consuming to put them out so I don’t blame you for not posting too many recently. Life gets busy. Thanks for the review on the meter. I am still using my Toptes that I purchased after seeing your review on it. Keep up the good and be safe out there.
That is my go to meter as well!
Great job guy love your UA-cam !!!!!
Thanks for that. I will explain more in a future video
Great job !!!!!!!
Thanks!
Welcome back. Sorry we missed you at the show. Btw nice shirt lol. Great meter we love ours.
I like the meter too. I thought you would pick up on the shirt LOL
Hello Mr. Darrin. Good to hear from You again, nice info on the meters, and be sure to stay good friends with the man with the fancy cutter.
Hi Ben. Glad to be getting back into the groove of things!
That tester looks like it’d work good. I didn’t realize that the pond was by the road. Trimming looks nice!!
Yes it is a very lightly traveled road. Hopefully no one goes in it.
Hey stranger 👋
Hey there. Finally made it back to the computer to edit a video!
@@woodruffwoods good man yourself.
Welcome back woodruff great content are you going to keep the videos going
That's the plan! I will explain in an upcoming video why my absence took place.
Glad to see you back at it.
Glad to be back out there doing videos. Hopefully I can continue at a regular pace.
Hey Darrin , good to see you . Hope you , lovely Lisa and Dallas are all doing well . I love machines like that . The pond looked good . Enjoyed the video my friend . 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks Del. I am hoping to get back on a regular schedule. Pond is doing well with no leaks after a rough start.
Hey Darrin. Great to see you posting again. I was wondering how the pond was doing with the dry weather we had, but it looks like it was full. Nice job of mowing with that mini ex. Do you know the size of the machine? Have a good one and can’t wait to see what you post for us next.
The pond has held up well. I will be sure to do an update video in the near future.
What size bucket is that?
I think they call it a 60 inch but it is more like 59.
Where are you out of?

Hey Darrin 👋
Hey bud how are things up north?
@woodruffwoods good bud. 👍 soon be back in the woods.
@@OpenAirAdventureFirewood me too
Hello, just ran a 2 inch branch through my exterior factory grill today but I missed the radiator the light trim, battery and the headlights so not all too bad. The replacement factory grill is under $200 so I will be ordering a grill this week so I don’t repeat this life lesson.
Sorry to hear about that happening. I knew it was a matter of time.

@@kevinstrickland1077 great machines for sure.
Hey Darin, Great to see you back.
Thanks Jim. I hope to get back on track in the next 2 weeks
Hello Darin, glad to hear from you once again. It’s been a while. Hopefully you’ll be back in action soon to bring us more great content. Cheers Woody !!!
I do plan to be active again.
Hey Darin , I hate I missed the live !!
All good, I jumped on for a few minutes in between rain drops
Was nice there yesterday
@@bobfitch607 sorry I missed you
@@woodruffwoods Phil and Karen said they thought you were coming. Busy place easy to miss people
Was there yesterday Darin. The wife and I had a good time and met more good people
@@bobfitch607 it was a great time and even the rain held off some of the day
Well, a far cry from the Mountain Mahogany I was thinking of, which is why I tuned in. Cercocarpus ledifolius was what I was expecting. It is heavy enough to sink in water, and hardness like Desert Ironwood. Got a bunch some years back. It was growing at 8500 feet just north of Las Vegas. I was wondering if it was even possible to split that stuff because of the hardness and the totally twisted grain. Not what you have, not even close.
You have definitely opened my eyes to a different species. I am thinking a term like mountain mahogany may be regionally used.
Hey Darin. Are you heading to the Firewood Frenzy this year in EauClaire Wisconsin?
I did not go this year. I have been traveling for work and the thought of another few nights in a hotel was just not in the cards.
@@woodruffwoodsmabe next year
Nice machine would have thought the Nylon on the conveyor padles would have been better under the angle iron to stop wear on the main trough so that it was replaceable when needed, nice video well done 👍
Thank you. That is a very interesting observation on the paddles. I never had given that a thought
I own the EXACT same truck. I ended up trying out the Lasfit LED's and my fog lights and high beams are amazing! But my low beams flicker and my DRL no longer work. Have you experienced these same issues?
I have not experienced that issue. My guess is that you may need a voltage regulator like this. amzn.to/4dKPAhG
@@woodruffwoods Thanks for that link! Do your daytime running lights (DRL) work with your LEDs?
Yes they do
Are those chainsaw safety pants? Why not keep that helmet on when in work/falling area? Bailey's nail best! Control tape rewind with fingers. If you cut 1000s and mark logs in woods you get very proficient with tape. Saves time. They are expensive and somewhat fragile.
I did change up my logger tape tension and the Bailey nail end. As for the pants, no I don’t wear protective pants. I find them very awkward and uncomfortable. I know I am in the minority but it is my decision.
Don't run away! Back step into escape route while looking for hazards above and ground. Hold saw as shield to potentially deflect. 60% of injuries are from falling objects. Most say "I never saw it coming! Work Safe!
Good point on looking toward the danger
Traveling a lot again?
Yeah it has been insane recently
Telescoping is the way to go. Both sides stabilize the implement regardless of the direction it wants to sway.
I agree! I have never looked back.
This needs to be less than a 5 min video. 10 minutes in and nothing yet about notches
Thank you for your feedback. Around 12 minutes I pull both cuts together for discussion
Gotta love those Honda V twins
Honda makes some of the best small engines.
Nice load of wood there. And even better, it's my kind of size for the Douglas Fir i deal with all the time. 😉👍
You definitely deal with big wood out where you are at.
Nice work! Did your tractor have a third function valve on it or did you plumb it from the rear remote up to the grapple bucket?
Plumbed from the rear remote. It isn’t ideal but it works.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people do that pretty good idea 👍
@@fatefarmspa yeah on a bigger tractor like that it is a really convenient way to do it
Darren,not bad at all for being by yourself some nice 👍 looking firewood and lumber 🪵 😮😊❤
A lot of work wasn’t captured by the camera as you can imagine!
Great video Darrin!! I've got a pecan tree blown down got to cut up cause its in a field and in the way of a farmer!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks David. I have never burned pecan but I imagine it would be very good firewood.
Congratulations Darrin on the huge White Oak score!! That will keep you busy for awhile.
It sure will! Great gift from Mother Nature
Darrin little logger trick , went buckin white oak once you warm up chainsaw chain good time to sharpen your chain . It’s a lot easier with a hand file . No problem great video Darrin .
My dad always said that a warm chain is easier to sharpen. Great advice and if you don’t mind I would like to share that in a video
Darrin white oak big $$$ for whiskey 🥃 and wine 🍷 barrels on today market. 😊 check out my logging buddy BJARNE BUTLER cut little timber down in BC Canada 🇨🇦. U tube channel BJARNE BUTLER. Check out EXTREME TRUCKING ON VANCOUVER ISLAND in the 70 . When iiiiii iiiii run the mtns Darrin .
I am looking for someone on that butt log to take it for stave wood but so far no luck.
I will go sub your friend’s channel
What do you think of the Husky light bars? Been looking at a 24 but don't know anyone personally that runs them. Do they flex a lot like for bore cutting trees? Pat from northwest WI
Pat, I don’t find the flex in them to be an issue. I have another Sugi bar and love it. The ones that Timber Kutter Patriot runs are really good too but I can’t think of the name. The light bars are noticeable on the bigger saws. The 28 inch on the 592 made a pretty big difference with fatigue.
@@woodruffwoods Thanks 👍
Hey, brother Darrin. Oh man, those powersaws on the tailboard got me going. Some nice. When ya said you're going to feed the 592, some candy it made me feel proud.
That saw is a beast. In the one cut I had the rakers a little too aggressive so I changed chains for the cut on the stump. What a difference!!!
Awesome video Darin! Don’t like to see big old trees come down but when they do it’s a firewood frenzy!! Your going to get a lot of nice wood from that tree, hope your keeping most of it for yourself;) Stay Safe, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵
That's the plan! With white oak, I am going to be greedy and fill my woodshed. I hate seeing these trees tumble as well but it happens and at least it is going to get used versus rotting on the ground.
Hey Darrin, just checking in. Making sure everything is going ok? We haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope all is well! Stay Safe, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵
@@followthegrainfirewood4525 Thanks for checking in. I am just busy with my real job. I am hoping to release a new video soon. I have been recording just not editing.
Heck of a nice score! Between you and other PA channels, Sounds like the dot there doesn’t mess around.
You got that right! I am legal to 25,300 pounds in combination but I just don't want any hassle. It is absolutely ridiculous that they target pickups and dump trailers. The 26,000 pound rule has been around since the early 90's but let's face it, the trucks today can safely handle more than that.
