Ol Millie sure loves the camera! Spotted her snout sneakin in a few shots too lol ! Side note , the old farm house is a very cozy spot too! Who would ever want something new when you have that beautiful old frame. Great times and memories with your father as well. Love to see it

I bet you never would have imagined yourself doing UA-cam videos like this years ago! 🤓😄

Great video! Super informative

10 cord for the old house is amazing.

Great video I really enjoy your videos . Perfect out door wood storage nice furnace as well I have an out door furnace here at my place I’m going to replace it in the coming years . Who sells those furnace if he don’t mind me asking

Nice update, good times with pops too. We're just about to pull the trigger on a OWB for ourselves.

Are you maxed out for weight with 2 cord?

I run a 16ft gooseneck, I fit 2 cords loose and give a discount on the delivery fee…ie i calculate time for delivery @80$ per hour from my yard and back min 50$ and discount 50$ off a 2 cord load, the customers that are not very far get delivery included.

I’ve decided not to compete with the Facebook marketplace guys around here, so my clientele is the recreational burner. I sell 1/4 and 1/3 cords, cut and split smaller and deliver in a 5x8 little dump trailer. I can charge close to double because of the custom sizing👍

You explained the exact reason as to why I don’t sell in bulk, lol. I sell bundles and 1/4 cords only. I had no desire to stack wood when I started selling. It is all split small, and advertised as recreational firewood. People do buy to heat their homes with,…but they have to pay the premium for. To answer your question,…I honestly don’t believe that there is a perfect trailer. The perfect trailer is the trailer that you have available to get that particular load delivered. Like you mentioned,…it may require having multiple trailers on hand. Then you have to consider where the customer wants the wood stacked 😁. I don’t mind stacking a 1/4 cord, as it doesn’t take long to do. A cord, or multiple cords is a whole other deal, 😂!! Even if paid for it, I still don’t like it.

Sounds like you answered your own question. 98% of your orders are cord and a half. Sounds like you have the perfect trailer. Enjoy your thought process. Hope you find the answers . I run a 6'x10' deck over with 3' sides. Works for me. Not for everyone.

Increase the height of your sides to fit 2 loose cord. A 12x7ft will need 4-1/2ft tall sides.

I don't sell firewood personally, but there's a few contractors in the area ( Western Cape Breton) that do. They're all running single axle dump trucks for blocked and split and delivering 8ft lengths with tandem axle pulp trucks. There's a few guys here that still deliver 1/2 cord loads with pickups because trailers are too hard to get into most yards.

I used to have a 3 ton top kick gmc pre emission with a 16 ft dump body with 2x6 side racks and I could have 3 cord full to top with only the back tear piled in an the rest loose or a could do the 1 cord loads or 2 cord loads it was cheap to run . I would go with a 16 ft 5 wheel dump trailer myself It hauls easier being fifth wheel an once you learn how to back it up it will go any where just my thoughts 💭.cheers

You have a conveyor…what about a dump truck?

What is the part number of your new gland cap?

Money Pit indeed. I hear ya!

That was one really nicely done video. You captured just like a TV show. Well done.

I'm going to quit my job and come work for you!

Nice video got to like from stump to mill one stop

Nice skidder sounds like a Detroit

Any word on meeting in Liverpool on a mill, Sept 11?

I think I can still run levers in my sleep.

I see plenty of good wood in that big ol' pile of reject logs. A vertical splitter would sort through that pretty quick. I agree with you on levers, the less electronics the better.

Sharp looking truck

Yes, get the best use of the product.

AH THE LICENCE PLATE I LOVE IT!! That’s awesome looks great 🔥🪓🪵

This UA-cam thing must be starting to pay off! 😉 Nice looking truck! Now I’ll never recognize you on the road..

Cutter done a real nice Job!

Glad to have found your channel, lots of good info for someone trying to manage a woodlot in NS. We used to do something similar but with a tractor and power trailer. Only real difference is we'd pile the wood off to the sides of the trail so could get the trailer between the piles (we were loading by hand). We switched to using a yarding winch a couple decades ago. Leaving the trees full length and with 100 ft cable we don't need as many trails, don't have to move as much brush, and can reach trees in places that would be difficult to drive into. I'll have to look for a set of those log tongs, they look a safer than carrying a pulp hook around.

Good video very helpful

I ended up here after searching for Keto 150. Watched the whole thing - good video hits on market reality. Timber (pulp aka chip here in the UK) like that is in very high demand here in the UK - firewood market is very strong. Clean straight 4"-18" diameter processor roundwood - can't get enough of it. New Subscriber!

Hey. Happy to see that you have found a buyer for pulp but if it’s so difficult to sell the pulp your dealing with how about talking with others like yourself to try to set up your own pulp export. I’m sure there’s others like yourself in nova Scotia in the same boat maybe together you could all help yourselves possibly. I’m doing basically the same thing as you in Ontario have my own processor just bought myself a forwarder. The struggles are real here too, but it’s usually weather elements. There’s no problem with getting rid of pulp or material. All of my pulp goes to Quebec I know truck not cheap, but even shipping to Quebec from Nova Scotia gotta be cheaper than overseas Keep up the good work hopefully you’re able to continue finding markets to move your material

Look 👀 like your into the hot 🥵 weather for drying your firewood 🪵 for this winter 🥶 coming 😊.

Sweet. The Lever Beaver is firing on all cylinders!

Lookin good !!! That thing makes short work of those logs !!

Yessir!

Great day to be in woodyard Troy . 😊

Nice video you get the maximum dollar value when you saw your logs that way !

You should nickname your processor "The Lever Beaver" 😁

Good to see you !!! See you next weekend !!!

Nice set-up Troy!

I been using 543xp for thinning my tall fir stands; don’t want to lug the extra weight of 550 or 562. It is a handy saw that turns up enough to deal with the stem sizes I need to drop.

I like butterfly throttle, but I am odd.

I'd recommend not taking that thing on pavement lol a guy tried it ones an ended up in jail

Neat little clip like watching this stuff those back tires got some tread on them

Have you ever thought mybe this machine is not meet for you to run, I’m just saying

Don’t worry another 60 yrs plus the land will have timber again growing on it . Back in the logs 🪵 day with a chainsaw we logger run 28” to 32” bar less bend over on the back , plus back them we could 3 to 5 timber together in a straight line same on time and plus put up 9 to 11 cords day in spruce and fir in pulp 🪵. 😊

Yeah Lanky , Liberals want to shut down forestry . PCT here N.S. Bowater , Northern etc. 15 years . Yeah do my own thing now . Changing my woods to mostly hardwoods , No more pulp wood I had enough government B.S.

I almost want to unlike the video because of the digs it sounded like you were throwing from the 3 minute to 3:40 mark of the video 🤣
