Hi! My name is Troy, and I am The Lanky Logger!
I’ve been logging Nova Scotia’s Acadian Forests my entire life! On this channel I cover all things logging - including tree harvesting and processing, tools and equipment used in the woods and the woodyard, maintenance and mechanical repairs - and just about anything else it takes to keep the cycle of logging going!

My favourite way to spend a Saturday morning is doing up a load of firewood! It's the best way to soak up the summer heat, in my opinion!

If you've been around my channel for any length of time, you'll notice that I don't really run new gear - aside from my saws. While you can't beat the price tag on older equipment, sometimes (or a lot of the time) you end up trading dollars for time on maintenance and repairs. Before I could get started on my firewood today, I had to take a few minutes to do some welding around the base of the ...
Tough Choices as a Logger | Harvesting Low-Grade Wood in Nova Scotia

In my previous video, I discussed some of my frustrations with the local markets for forest products and the current state of Nova Scotia's forests. In this video I go a little deeper into explaining why logging a block of woodland is not always as straightforward as it seems - and the specific challenges we face here in NS in doing so!

I know this is a topic that faces a lot of controversy from many different circles of opinion - but it's a topic I think is important to discuss when we consider what the future of forestry in Nova Scotia can, and will look like! Although we are a small province, we still have woodlots that need to be maintained for the health and longevity of our forests - but we can't do it without the necess...

A 1/2 CORD of OVERSIZE FIREWOOD | Manual Firewood Processing
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.
Sounds like you’re having fun to me! Yes the tongs are much better to work with. Thanks!
Good video very helpful
Thank you!
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!
They have a vert accurate measurement system. They would be perfect for that kind of wood.
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
Thanks. There is a study going on now for potentially opening another mill. But if it goes through it will be 4 years before it’s done. Fingers crossed.
Look 👀 like your into the hot 🥵 weather for drying your firewood 🪵 for this winter 🥶 coming 😊.
It is definitely warm here now.🌞
Sweet. The Lever Beaver is firing on all cylinders!
It really does well in the right size of wood. Thanks 😆
Lookin good !!! That thing makes short work of those logs !!
Sure does buddy. 👍
Yessir!
Great day to be in woodyard Troy . 😊
My favourite place.
Nice video you get the maximum dollar value when you saw your logs that way !
I have the market for the wood, so it’s a total waste to me to not save it even though it is more work. And cookies are worth nothing. And also a pain to deal with. Thanks
You should nickname your processor "The Lever Beaver" 😁
Hahaha. Good one! That may stick now.!
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’ve never used a 543. But I’ve heard good things about them.
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
Definitely not. Especially with cork’s welded on the grousers 🤣
Neat little clip like watching this stuff those back tires got some tread on them
She’s a good old machine!
Nice machine
Thank you! It works well.
@@thelankylogger I have a tree farmer C5 forwarder they’re handy
Hard to beat the old iron.
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.
Frustrating isn’t it.
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 🤣
Oh you’re a good driver too. 🤣🤣
@@thelankylogger this seems forced lol
Keep up the great efforts.
Having to much fun
Tony your right clean it up before bark rotten get into it for sure . 😊
I needed to be done. Thanks
Tony nice little load of firewood 🪵. 😊
The good days.
Looking like a good start to this years firewood season! I don’t mind a little chainsaw work from time to time- but it sure cuts into the profit!
Feels so good to be set up for the season! And good wood that is cut properly. Hard to get.
Absolutely wonderful to see such pride and skill. I was taught in the Maritime Forest Ranger School in 1985 that forestry is a systematic operation...just as you explained it.
Exactly…. If everyone does their part. It makes it good for everyone 😁. Thanks
Always nice to see a good operator. Not sure I'd let him scratch my back with that clam but maybe. The guy that said wood is as good as gold nailed it.
Log hauler Vincent is a good operator. Nice load of logs Troy.
I am very pleased.
Looks good , some BTU's there !!!!
About 180 million. Should keep the house toasty for a bit.
Love it😊
Thanks, a wood pile like that is better then gold in my eyes.
It sure is!
Real nice looking pile I love watching someone run a loader that’s not banging it on the stakes you can’t hide experience that’s for sure ! Is that guys last name Croft that was driving that truck your are so right about how dry it is fingers crossed rain for this weekend !
He takes so much pride. Not only piling his wood. But maintaining his equipment as well.
Wow, awesome job by the truck driver. How many truckloads are there?
Five loads in total
Is this wood to split and sell for this coming winters use? Seems like it may only get a couple of months drying time after splitting to season.
Yes. It doesn’t seem to matter anymore. I will be processing right into November. I do not dry wood for customers. I always said it is their responsibility to get it early enough to dry it themselves. It’s just the way it’s been done here. Thanks
There are loads of sales like that. I am at the other end of the province and do my own firewood only so far, but have thought about doing extra to help clean up our woods.
Not the first pile he’s made with that loader. Nice to see someone take pride in their work for sure
He takes a lot of pride in his work. Makes my part of the process so much nicer!
Came here to say the same. Pride in his work for sure.
What is that 'whip' on your saw handle for??
We do cut to length here. It’s a 4’ measure. Saves using a tape. Much faster.
That is a very clever idea, thanks for your reply
Bigg Dann the legend
Great video nice working machine sounds like a Cummins engine to me I might be wrong on that . great idea to get that small wood cut with a harvester hard to cut productivily by hand . Love the loyal dog you have there .
Yes she has a 6 bt Cummins. She is a great companion🐕
Right on I have a 1996 230 A timberjack with the log lift 60 Loader my machine sounds like that it has a Cummins as well
Yes it would have a 3.9 bt4 Cummins. I had the identical machine years ago. Bought it used in 2000. It was a 96 as well with a log lift. They are a great machine. One of the best in my opinion. Simple to work on and tough.
It's great to see what I consider natural forest operations. Back to the basics and professional. Great video too.
Good work! Any chance you have a job opening? Im a forestry tech out of bc. Cant find no work out here!
That's the fastest moving Tree Farmer ive ever seen . My father in law has an old C5 from the 70s, and my brother ran a C6 for a number of years. Those two old machines weren't as nimble as the one in this video.
Great video,that dog living the life! I spent alot of free time as a young fella with my uncles n dad on these machines,but I remember the Tree Farmer a little different cab configure configuration.Was a Duetz air cooled if I remember correctly, back in the 80s.Was a good machine
And there is still lots of them working now. Can’t kill that old iron. Thanks
Perhaps an interview style video with Dan and a walk around of his machine. Great video as always. Stay safe
Good to see it's getting done. Have you found a pulpwood market ?
Yes. It is a very poor market though. A local pellet mill. But it’s gone and the woods is a clear blow downs. Thank
Smart to clean it up before there is a forest fire like what happened here on my end of the province
Absolutely
brush is some tidy
He did a great job! Thanks.
