I saw a clip on Lumna Acres channel (ua-cam.com/video/_bcRPMsOi4Q/v-deo.html) where he used the bladder from the IBC totes to make a cover for the firewood he is storing outdoors in IBC totes. Just a thought that might assist with keeping your stored wood dryer. Thanks for the content, I enjoy following your videos.

Wishing you a happy Christmas

That all terrain pallet jack you showed looks like something that'll be quite useful, you'll probably find a few other uses for it too LOL. That will definitely allow you to save space and be able to double stack the totes. I wonder if you could find one of those dump totes that you pickup with a forklift or skid steer and pull a rope to dump it....might be something to look around for to make loading your trailer easier and quicker. They're expensive new, but you might be able to find a used one.

The lift totally makes sense if you can navigate it in the field without sinking. I found one for $7,300. With everything I have seen the BX does EVERYTHING you want it to do except lift firewood totes. If you bought a bigger tractor you would have to buy 20 new implements with it and when all said and done you would spend more on the implements. You could probably get two totes and that machine on your Dump Trailer. I'm not sure what the ramp would look like to get the machine in the trailer.

Been enjoying your videos for about a year now. Your firewood process is well developed to maximize productivity and save your back!!! Well done!!! Have you considered increasing tractor lift capacity by swapping out your front lift cylinders? I can't find the dimensions of the hydraulic cylinders for your BX2380, but they are probably close to 1.5" diameter. If you changed them to 1.75" your lift capacity will increase approximately 35% at each cylinder without other modifications of hydraulic pump or controls etc. [ area of a 1.5" circle = 1.76" Area of a 1.75"circle = 2.4" or 135% of the 1.5" circle] ...A relatively easy and inexpensive modification that might just save you the cost of a bigger tractor. Or....you might consider upsizing the PTO lift cylinder to get extra lift capacity to easily move full totes of wood... Obviously changing 1 cylinder will be about half the cost of changing two..... and far more affordable than a new tractor!

Hi Sam Don’t know too much about your machines 🙈. So may be a silly comment. Can your mini excavator handle a bigger load than the tractor? If so is there no adapter to make it easy to move the full totes with it?

Hey mister you do stuff exactly how you want to don’t listen to others, unless you think it’s a good idea of course, this place is full of people happy to criticise & who know better. Good luck.

Merry Christmas and God bless y'all

Hey Sam I like the way you cut your totes😁👍 I had an idea just popped up in my head. Maybe try lifting the front end of the tractor then lift up the 3 point hitch so when you lower the FEL it will lift the tote in the rear. Just a suggestion Thanks for the video.😁👍🚜💨☀️Oh and I noticed that your dad can keep up with you using the table no problem.

I was going to suggest double stacking the totes to save space in the barn, but you would definitely need a heavier piece of equipment.

On my home built carry all I radius both corners, one so I didn’t scrap a leg across the corner and for going into pallets. Two yrs ago when cutting a lot of trees I learned about cants and hookaroons. That hookaroon will be very useful as you found out. Two years, didn’t realize that. 😮

Love it Sam keep that brain going. I’ll bet you get there before two years but don’t overdue yourself for the channel. You got this my guy 🎯⚡️🦾

Sam, you have my curiosity up. I look forward to the new product. I see your truck is still in the shop. Please keep us informed of the progress. I like the forklift you showed us. Have a Merry Christmas!

Great that your dad is giving you a hand ! My folks are gone, enjoy them while you have them and i am sure he loves helping you. Win win for both.

Like you said not ideal but I do the same thing with my carry all. It is the only wayI have to move loaded totes👍👍

If spacers are such a great thing, then why don't manufactures install them at the factory?

Once you get the oak tote put in the field, you could fill each basket up by hand. It would give you at least a third of a cord and open up more totes. Then in two years you would have your pallet jack to move them. Possibly , Your tractor may be able to move them in two years since they will be lighter from drying. Just a thought. I enjoy your channel.

I still don't know how much more wood in a cord compares with your small split pieces. Surely you charge a premium for wood that small. Maybe a full bin of each by weight would answer it.

I would put one inside and one outside and check them with a moisture meter to see which dries faster thru out the year! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

Merry Christmas Sam God Bless you and your family

I noticed you said the wood has to sit for 2 years.... I was under the impression that for wood to dry out the rule of thumb is an inch per year and that's when it's in a log state... so your 2x2 logs should be dry in 1 year as the sides are all open to the environment which helps cure even faster.... I could be wrong but it's worth checking out

Can't double stack the IBC Cage's in the barn ? Just a thought 🤔💭

Sometimes I split faster than he can stack lol , I saw him waiting on you lol great job

Good thinking Sam

You should have got yourself a mulching blade. I never see people using them in here in the states, but i see people in europe and australian using the crap out of them.

Good stuff. Keep on doing stuff and don't turn into a "sam's selling stuff" channel. I like videos about a reasonable guy doing reasonable things that either accomplish a task or tell a story. You do well at both at the same time. Some channels start that way then turn into a guy with millions of dollars of equiptment doing stuff that I can't relate to at all.

I agree with what you said!Sam!

I'm recommending you check out the FarmCraft101 channel. Check for the multi posts for the modification of his log splitter. He detached the ram and wedge from the original frame and mounted them inverted to a section (guessing 4 or 5 feet) of I-Beam, and powers it from the hydraulics of his small size excavator. His processing time is cut by at least 2X and his personal handling time is cut dramatically. He lifts the rounds using the excavator / splitter, and does it where he cut the tree to produce rounds. He can split them to any size desirable. Quite an amazing process to watch and the modification was pretty simple. You'll see ... it's really worth your time to investigate.

Nothing beats a quality product. Keep it up.

Because of Neil Messick's videos, John with a A Ritter Bitt Wil Do, and Sam on Sam's Doing Stuff always showing and doing stuff with a Kubota BX tractor, I just had to buy one....JK, ok well kind of. I was watching a lot of videos about the BX tractor to see what it could do, how they held up, etc. As I was already in the market for a small tractor....all 3 of the channels were what helped me with my choice. about 3-1/2 years later and I'm so glad I got the BX2680....it does whatever I need it to do...and since its so small it fits into places where larger tractors simply cannot fit...a great example of that was helping a friend prep a spot in his back yard for a shed....the BX2680 and the RTR0550 barely fit between his house and the fence, I had about 2 inches to spare....a larger tractor simply wouldn't have fit back there. The back yard is really small too, so it also comes down to maneuverability too....a larger tractor even if it would fit between the house and fence probably would have been an issues trying to turn around, and such in the yard. Roto-tilled, leveled, packed, and spread gravel out in his yard....so much quicker and easier than doing it all by hand LOL. I have issues with impulse buying sometimes....but one thing I found out is on major purchases is to do a lot of research on whatever it is I'm gonna buy before I buy it. Look around, visit the store, try and find one I can try out first, etc. I've also had those times where, yep looked great in the video demo, went and bought the item, and either never used it, or used it once and either didn't like it or never touched it again LOL.

Sam, excellent job, i remembered your video about the Kimimoto vest and thought my daughter and son in law could use that, i purchased 2 of them and they love them, they live in N.H. so it gets pretty cold in the winter and they both work outside all day, it keeps them warm and will work great for their motorcycle adventures. Keep up the great work and have a Merry Christmas

Hi Sam, Thanks for the video, I’ve been a subscriber for a while and enjoy your content and down to earth approach. Whilst I appreciate the lure from some creators to push items that they have been asked to promote, I also agree that those creators that have spent their own money and enjoy the product and want to share their opinion both good and bad. We should not forget however that the viewer must perform their own research and never forget “Buyer Beware”. What works for one may not work for another.

The way Kubota partially sponsors other channels with new equipment I think they should consider you for all the positive comments you have said over the years unless of course that tractor is a Kubota sponsored item 🤔.

The main thing I ask myself before sharing a product is: “would I be happy with this if I spent my money on it?” If the answer is no I won’t push it. My word still means something to me which I think is important. I also often promote items I bought and have no affiliation with if I love it and it will help others. I also try not to bash products but will try to save people money if a product really falls short. Some good advice in this video. One more click towards 10k

Ærlighed betyder alt

Hey Sam! would you recommend that Christmas tree? 🤣🤣🤣 My sister moved in with me a few years ago after a divorce and we knew it was going to be a permanent thing. Being single for a long time I had downsized everything, including my Holiday Decorations! my Christmas Tree was a two feet tall fiber optic tree that stayed in a box for 11 months out of the year, plugged in on my hearth for a month and back in the box. Well noy it looks like Santas house again after a few short years. My sister loves the holidays and it makes her happy/frustrated lol, so what do ya do? lol I don't really have any input, just teasing you about that tiny tree in that big room. Merry Christmas!

I was hoping for a heated vest review you have had a few teasers in videos 🤷

Hey Sam, it's very nice of you to tell these things to people. Even if a person thinks they know all this, it's useful to remind this to oneself from time to time. Have a nice Christmas time.

When I saw this, two things I ALWAYS think about came up! 1. I remember a while back, I was listening to the Tony Kornheiser POD CAST and he was talking to Steve Young and he gave him GREAT advise that he uses all the time, Steve said that whenever someone wants to have advertise their product, He ALWAYS said 'SEND ME A BOX OF IT'! 2. Piggy backing on that, Scotty who I watch A LOT always tells potential advertisers to send it to him and, If it's CRAP he will say it's CRAP, but if it works for him, he will say it works and he uses it! 9 out of 10 times, the advertisers DON'T send it to him!!!

yes Dalton from pole barn garage does this with a brake line tool he is always using it

the best thing a youtuber can do with a tool the company sends them is stress test it use it normally then have a real close look at the product for faults and good things the company will watch

Being a small content creator myself, I can agree that it's tough. Looking at it from a different angle, however, I can honestly say I have told myself after watching a video from someone else "I wish I knew about that product 5 years ago! Sure would've made my life a lot easier." So yeah, there is definitely some good to it but there are also some bad apples out there.

There are a lot of channels that I've unsubscribed to because all of the sponsored content. Indeed with solutions looking for problems, but also highly technical channels (mostly in electronics) and then start to 'promote' very very cheap multimeters that are utter crap compared to what those persons usually do on that channel and use on that channel, or that they suddenly start to promote a device for outside (like a generator or so) where they've been an indoor electronics channel for years. I don't mind how for example farmcraft101 promotes products, he manages to find a balance in that. The way you talk about it, I think you will find that same balance that is tolerable.

Are you the marketing guy who sold us on kale? Stop being real and logical.

Guilty. I bought a bundle at Tractor Supply last week when I discovered my white oak (which was dead when I bucked the fallen tree) split and sitting in a stack for over a year wasn't dry enough to burn. Luckily, I had leftover Ash or I would have frozen to death. It was 8 degrees outside.

Nice job Sam. I especially like the part about “does the creator use it and is it ever shown again.” I like to see truth in advertising. If content creators use it, then show it over and over again. Prove it’s a quality product, or not. Good stuff.

If I hear "<insert company name here> sent me the <item for review> but they have no say in the content of this video and do not get to see it before its published" one more time, I swear... Listen... I get it. YT has effectively knee-capped content creators with their compensation per view less than a cent. This is all YT's fault. Everyone knows it. But the disclaimer before the videos just ring hollow. We know that is literally the ONLY way to make money and are fine with it. But don't think we don't know. ;-)

I'll see something I want then ask myself do I want for a need and will I use it more than one time! Oh yeah and how much does it cost! Great video!

Good morning Sam. Thank you for the way you explained yourself about the products seen on UA-cam and also applies to most everywhere else. There are some great products out there and there are some that are not so good. What you said was great advice. Thanks again for what you do and how you do it. Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family.

I just accepted my first product! Great explanation Sam👍👍
