Ben this video flooded me with memories, I use to cut the fire wood for my mother and father in law, then we would spend hours at the splitter, Burley called it the wood buster, he would be in charge of running the handle, while I was in charge of getting the wood on the splitter, my mother in law would stack it. They both passed away in 2013, thank you for the video it brought back precious memories.
My grandparents would split wood together, Mamaw could out work about any man. She was an incredible lady thinking back on all the hard work she did. You mentioning your mother in law made me think back on those days. Thanks for watching
Hello Ben and Benny, you’re bringing back memories of myself. I built my dad a wood splitter in the 1980s and worked with him. He passed in 1992 and it seems like yesterday take care, my friend.
Had a tractor mounted splitter. It cut going forwards and backwards. Wear 2 men out. I put it on a 4x6 trailer, ran a pump off a Briggs engine and towed it around with the 4 wheeler. Everyone in their brother used that thing
It looks pretty soupy there, that makes for some not so fun messes. I need to do some wood cutting and splitting myself. Good luck with yours. I hope you have a good week!
I quite joy the variety of your videos. And how you have all your tractors under cover. I see too many pieces of equipment that never sees a roof in my travels. How much height do you need for the 5067e with the canopy on? Someday if I choose to buy a 5050-5060 or 5067e I will need to build a roof shelter. 👍
The 5067E is pretty tall. From my experience with equipment in this size range plan on 10 feet tall. I have some sheds I’ll not be able to get under with the 5067. Thanks for watching
My yard too is a mud pit, my tractor only weighs around 4k pounds but it too ruts up pretty bad, and now they say we are getting more rain here soon followed by snow after that, guess we will be dealing with mud for quite some time through February... In a unrelated note, if you feel like writing out a response, how would you go about fixing a rut on a hill caused by run off which has sinked in, in some spots 6-8 inches below the average ground for that area, I say fill the dirt, pack it tight and put river rock over it, someone else said plant a thick rooting grass and let it grow (however we drive over this spot constantly, and therefor its hard for grass to grow) Thanks in advance!
As for your question, if it were me I’d rip the area up with box blade teeth then smooth it back out. While dressing it up try to run over it and pack it in layers. If you simply just fill the rut it will wash back out because it won’t be packed consistently and that area will be easier to erode than the original ground beside it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors Well I guess I should of been a little more descriptive, I plan to rip it up with the box blade as you said, however in order to bring it back to height for us driving on it and towing low trailers (most likely) it will require me to add at least some dirt, though maybe not, I'm wondering what would be better to put after its all leveled out, some large river rock or 57 gravel like the rest of our driveway or a thick grass. Thanks in advance!

She's a smooth little machine I like the road view she's quick enough in the road.
@@martymartin2894 it’s a good tractor. I actually think I like it better than the new one. Thanks for watching
@khtractors seems like with every year that goes by new tractors and cars are getting worse in my opinion. Can't beat the older ones for reliability.
Good Evening Sir All You Snow Have Melted Away 👌🧐👍Doing Firewood is team is the way to go 🧐🧐👌👌Keep Warm Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
Thank you buddy! Take care!

Growing up the time I spent working with family is the times I remember the best. Thanks for watching

I’ve always wanted a splitter that split both directions. Thanks for watching

Thanks so much! Take care!
The ground up your way looked like our yard did a few days ago. And I'll bet that it's really soft.
Yeah it’s messy but glad to get the ground water. Thanks for watching
Look at ta mud fly looked like me yesterday 68 degrees here yesterday cold again today
That’s a cool old cabin by the shed. Could you tell us more about it?
I’ve been meaning to do a video on the cabin. I’ll do that soon, been looking for ideas while it’s muddy out. Thanks
@@khtractors Yea man be safe out their. Question when you take the tractor or something to the school. do you have to pay for the metal and paint?
@ yeah I supply the materials or reimburse for them.
@@khtractors Okay thanks so much
I hate ruttin everthing up to just get around like that had that problem yesterday with the warm up
@@RandyBills-f7q yeah I ended up moving it to another shed to keep from making thinks worse. Thanks for watching

@ if it’s prone to washing out I’d use what we call crusher run here. It packs better than 57’s. I think you’re on the right track with your approach.
@@khtractors Many thanks, appreciate the consistent high quality videos!
Your dad looks too young to be your dad he looks more like your brother.
Haha are you calling me old 😂? He does really good to be in his 70’s! Thanks for watching
@khtractors God he doesn't look 70 ah no u're only a young lad 😂😂😂
I noticed it's him doing all the lifting and carrying too, shouldn't he be working the lever and you doing the loading ha.
@ yeah your probably right.
Hey, I like your comment. That makes me feel great. Ben's Dad.
