I know everybody worked their butt off but, it is funny when the camera is in everyone is standing around watching you. Lucky man that your girls like to help you with all kinds of things.
@@digdrivediy Through the powers of the internet it looks like he saw my comment. I wish him the best on his build and hope you are able to capture some of the process. Everyone loves a good fabrication series.
That shirt is the essence of both safety and style when working a jobsite! A must have for anyone that wishes to work around others!! I had this whole speech planned out to mention that awesome T-shirt I was wearing and then my cousin showed up while I was filming the intro and I lost my train of thought!
There is absolutely nothing you can't do as it deals with yard work! You have every tool imaginable and love watching you complete projects and listen fo your storytelling! Great video as usual!
@@digdrivediy They are really good! Honestly I am not a yard guy but your videos are so interesting to watch your attention to details and your strategies to complete.... also I am inspired about how neat your work sites are! Thanks again and I am still watching for more!
Hey Neil it's Lindsey wanted to say thank you for letting me come down for visit it made me relieved and really happy so thanks for that and also tell the girls that I said hi and hello thank your neighbor Lindsey Marie Hare
Nice Neil! There was a lot of wood there. Many hands make quick work, and the right tools helps too. I noticed everyone was standing up straight at the end, wouldn’t have been the case without the right tools! Take care my friend
It’s awesome when you have great tools and family to work with to get the job done! Maybe the big ol’ gmc dump should have come out to haul all that wood. Thanks for making these videos my kids and I enjoy watching them every Sunday.
What a great job done by all!! I could not possibly split as much wood as I do with out the help of my dad and sons. Let alone having my equipment to make the job a little easier! My dad turned 68 this past April and still cuts and splits wood to heat his home. Since I bought my boiler 3 years ago I feel that him and I spend alot of time together in the fall cutting and splitting. It gives us time to reminiscent and enjoy each other's company and show my boys the value of hard work and working together to get the job done. As always neil you created a good quality video. Keep up the great content, we love it!
I think the backhoe splitter was the biggest surprise helper especially on the huge pieces, no doubt at all. I've seen splitters for skid steer tractors that work very effectively, but the backhoe takes it with maneuverability. You assembled quite a crew on this one. 👬👫👭🧑🤝🧑👬🚜
Neil… I told you those girls were going to become fixtures in your camera crew! You had the perfect mix of tools, help and fellowship for that job. Making memories and firewood in one fell swoop!! I was thinking about your splitter this week. The temperature finally broke to where I could start work on some logs that I had accumulated. All of them were small so wrestling them through Frankensplitter wasn’t really a big deal. But, now I need to start on cleaning up dead oaks in the woods. Most of those have trunks in the 2-3 foot diameter range. Because I’ll be working them up by myself… I’m not looking forward to the wrestling match involved with splitting them. Having the aches, pains and stiffness associated with turning 69… One of those log lifting, elevated vertical splitters sure looks good right about now. LOL I thought about posting a vid about how I process wood but… honestly I’m not sure I want to show just how slow & decrepit I look these days. •LOL• I think I just need a couple of productive days to pull me out of my firewood funk… because I know as you do… the satisfaction of seeing a supply of processed firewood is a cure all for all the aches and pains of making it!!!
The hardest part is always getting started for me. Once I get rollin it seems like my body comes out of its funk as you say. I'd be tickled to be still splitting and wrestling wood when I'm 69. I think you're most likely better for it as long as you don't overdo it. I know that my dad likes to get out and get some exercise and he's right there with you at 72. But like I said the main thing is keeping him from trying to overdo it. So don't worry about what you look like to me. I think anybody that gets out there and stays active should be commended. Sounds like an excuse to me to put some kind of lifting arm attachment on Frankensplitter. I can't remember if you already had one or not, but maybe you and your buddies can engineer some kind of lift. The weather the last couple days here has really made me start thinking firewood. Nice crisp mornings like this and I can almost smell the fire even when it hasn't been lit! I wish you well and getting out there and getting after it. I know it'll get easier once you get started. Just wish you were a little bit closer and we'd have a demo session on that eastonmade for you!
@@digdrivediy That would be awesome… I have probably a hundred dead oaks that need processed. I like to wait about three years after they die before I drop them. Then, they only need a few months to season before it’s ready to burn. There are probably 30 or so that are ‘ripe’ for harvest this year. I’m working on number three this morning. The aches are getting less each day.
What a great video the whole family helping each other. Glad you all had a beer 🍺 at the end of the day. The girls are turning into great UA-cam film makers lol 😍❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
It is so great when you can have multiple pieces of equipment working great together. Always room for improvement. But looking good. Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing the family projects. I always thought a man with a truck and trailer never ran out of friends, but add a dump truck, backhoe, and 755 will most certainly never run out of friends. And that backhoe splitter . . . that is a beautiful piece of kit. I’m Keeping that in mind for the day when I have my own homestead where I can make use of one of those.
Seems like a ton of work. Being with family and playing a game of Trilogy seems more like a good time. Hard work and comradery certainly has its place. Traditions are important as well. I like your channel.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). I absolutely love to see families and different generations working well together. 💚 Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
Dear @@digdrivediy You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. I totally appreciate both very much. Sincerely yours.
I've been there too with the maul. I couldn't keep up with it nowadays though. I am ever so thankful to have such a big family and all around here close. That is barely a fraction of it! :)
you 660 is just a bit newer than my old guffer, stihl 066 still runs great is well past 30 years old and i dont know how much it cut before it became mine, when my boss retired i bought it from him, kinda wanted the 090 with a 60 inch bar but i couldnt justify 3k+ for my hobby.
Awesome! Good work! Definitely a great example of many hands lake light work! Ifs really making me think about ways to do log length splitting for my friends and I next year. I see more and more how that Eastman made works well For what you do… all different shapes and sizes of logs and wood! Do you think that back hoe splitter could be set up or used on a back hoe attachment for a John Deere 4320 Tractor? oh, and I haven’t forgot about those emails lol. Just taking care of other things first. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see the next one!
Thanks a lot! I'm not sure that a little tractor would be able to be as effective as the backhoe. The backhoe is just barely strong enough to do much of what I want to do.
Found your channel suggested on UA-cam, was looking to see where you are from and found out that you are close to me you are about 45 min from me I'm in Columbia City Indiana great channel here subscribed and I also like your content
Nice Job Neil and family! What a great American family you have. Good night John Boy good night Mary Hellen good night Grandpa! What you have is priceless. Thanks for sharing Neil your channel is becoming one of my favorites! Looking forward to the next one. From Northwestern Vermont
Morning neil talk about family power its nice when the family get together and all work you should have enough wood to last now the beast is working well the eastomade i mean that is some machine it really is well good luck with the wood cutting be safeuntill next time
Was hoping you’d teach us some of the nuances of cutting such big logs, while not getting the bar stuck and not grounding out the chain. I’d categorize this one as meeting your contractual obligations while not coming off as too much of a shill 😀. It is that fine line you have to walk. Good job.
That's a great idea! I sometimes don't think of the obvious when I'm doing something like this. My brain is split between the task at hand and the filming and I always seem to lack a little dialogue in the middle of these projects. I probably have enough footage to make that a little video of it's own! I appreciate you keeping me in check Jim. I don't want to be a salesman. I am just honestly impressed with the stuff and I was anxious to let my cousins play with it!
Just wanted to comment and say I really enjoy your videos and Thank You for taking time to make them and share them with all of us. I love the family involvement you have in them , Keep those you love close and enjoy the time together , even when your working hard together 😃👍💪
Nothing like breaking out all the toys I mean tools and helping out family my only question is Neal who loves that splitter more you or your dad seems to me he always smiling when he runs it great video
Your videos neil always good learning tool for me Al the time for my fire wood busines n great family fun watch you guys do project together god bless your guys n family 🪓😁
Watching the beginning of this epic reminded me of "The Road Warrior" picture. Seeing all this cobbled together machinery rolling across the desolate Indiana wasteland. Karen and the rest of the gals had the right idea, sit in the shade and watch the testosterone cloud form over splitter while a bunch of boys in cosplay gear raged in battle with a veteran, downed tree that provided oxygen, shade and gave nothing but love over the course of it's life. I know it's the Apocalypse, but why are you using a cheap, framing hammer to drive wedges? For the love of all things great and small, get a sledge or at least a maul! Think of the twins. How do you want them to remember Dad? Kara already knows what she bought in to, but the twins are still so impressionable man! Still, it warms my heart to see you reach out and help some of the 180,000 cousins your have. Is it something in the water in Indiana that breeds Koch's? All that aside, you were just truly darling in your "storm trooper" gear! Love home and kiss the girls for me! Stay safe my brother. P.S. I'll save all the name dropping for another post.
The framing hammer is the duct tape if the carpentry world... 101 uses! (plus everyone has one) You're right though, I should have probably blurred it out. I didn't think about the girls watching this years later 🤣 I'm only about half way through my cousins so I got plenty more available content coming! Thanks Greg!
Hey Neil, with the right tools, equipment and enough people wow you can get alot of work done. I'm impressed with the backhoe splitter, it would've been a ton of work to get those massive hunks of wood split down to a manageable size without it.
I've never heard of them? Just kidding. I really enjoy watching Mike and Melissa. If I was home everyday full-time, I'd make a heck of a lot of firewood too!
Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Koch Family 👨👩👧👦. nice Captain 👨🚒Kleeman shirt 👍. and thanks for the video again Neil . and thanks for the videoclip Ella 👍. Sincerely, Hollandduck 🇳🇱🦆
They are Stein brand. My brother-in-law gave them to me. I believe he got them from Europe before they were readily available in US a few years ago. They're really nice, but some of the new styles are even less bulky than these. I prefer the pants over the chaps.

Man you have a lot of cousins! I love how the ladies have their chairs set up. It's like backing in at the campsite....
You have a great family. Love that your Pop is still moving around and helping you out. I miss mine.
Great video! Im jeaous of your firewood equiptment!😂
Appreciate it David.
Too bad that log wasn't in better shape.
Could have had some nice lumber.
But wow that was Huge!!!
Great job.
God bless.
If Cousin Tony has any questions on his sawmill project have him reach out. Built one myself last winter very fun project.
He may just do that. I hope he sees this comment and if he comments on this video I'll tell him to keep you in mind. Thanks!
I might do that, I purchased plans from Matt Cremona, I’ve been gathering up materials so far, planning to start building soon

@@tonynieuwlandt5407 FYI: Matt helped April Wilkerson build a sawmill like his. He videos are a really good ‘How To’.
@@sassafrasvalley1939 Yes, I've seen those videos also, the plans are well put together, and have good descriptions.
That's a well oiled crew you have there! Have to say, that's a fine looking shirt ya have as well 💪
That shirt is the essence of both safety and style when working a jobsite! A must have for anyone that wishes to work around others!!
I had this whole speech planned out to mention that awesome T-shirt I was wearing and then my cousin showed up while I was filming the intro and I lost my train of thought!
I came hear to comment on the T shirt, but it seems that the Captain already arrived
Good shot of family working together, thanks for sharing. Wood pile happier and lawns cleaned up 👍
I love the fact that my good neighbors to the south buy the Eastonmade products. Thank you for buying a Canadian made product!
Absolutely! This splitter is great!
Bunch 'o good old boys playing with awesome toys! That there is a good day 👍
It is a lot of fun when you only get to do it once in a while.
Love that chainsaw and long bar- takes a while to sharpen I bet- fun video
Absolutely show the progress of the barn remodel! Those barn beams are gold these days.
There is absolutely nothing you can't do as it deals with yard work! You have every tool imaginable and love watching you complete projects and listen fo your storytelling! Great video as usual!
Thanks again Aaron! I appreciate you going through these videos cause I haven't thought about some of them for a while!

Hi Linda! It was great to see you the other day. Nice to hear from you in the comments as well. Hope you have a great week.
Great to see family come together to help each other. I always looks forward to Sunday morning for some great entertainment.
I appreciate it so much. Hopefully it hasn't been too much wood cutting lately. Seems like all I've been doing in the last month or more 🤣
@@digdrivediy We like wood cutting! and this was the family team!!
Best way cut and split the logs there and then you won’t procrastinate at home doing it, love the backhoe splitter
Absolutely! I find taking it home all split is the best.
Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
Wow that backhoe splitter is awesome!!!
Nice Neil! There was a lot of wood there. Many hands make quick work, and the right tools helps too. I noticed everyone was standing up straight at the end, wouldn’t have been the case without the right tools!
Take care my friend
Yessir. And what you couldn't see was it was nearly a 90 degree day as well! It made for a pretty fun day really. Thanks for watching Mike!
Great to see so many of my former students and parents of Harlan Elementary working together.
Hey, great to see you in the comments Mr. Bauer! Yeah we had quiet an alumni group there! Thanks for checking out the video.
Must have been a beautiful day, working with family, getting something productive done. I still love that backhoe splitter! 😁👨🚒
I'm mostly impressed with that backhoe splitter!
It’s awesome when you have great tools and family to work with to get the job done! Maybe the big ol’ gmc dump should have come out to haul all that wood. Thanks for making these videos my kids and I enjoy watching them every Sunday.
Thanks Dustin. I should have used the general on this one. He was in for a checkup at the doctor's office is all.
Lots of wood in just a few hours.
The girls are going to need a raise on their allowance for taking such good videos.
Shhh. They can read these comments! :)

Love cutting wood with group of people
It is always enjoyable.

That backhoe splitter has made it possible to tackle enormous trees with ease. Definitely a nice tool to have in the toolbox for this type of thing.
That vid earned you my sub. For that size tree and job you had exactly the right equipment for the job.
Wow! That's great to hear Brian. Thanks for checking out the video. We did have just the right stuff for this one it seems.

Nice family work day!
Wow! That is a lot of work done in 5 hours! The walnut log sure must be heavy: you got all those weights on the back and it still lifted up some!
Yes it sure was. We also stopped an hour for lunch which I should have mentioned!
Man, that 661 is a BEAST! I don't know if my back would withstand it very long though. That thing is a man killer. Great job by all.
You certainly know it at the end of the day when you've been running that thing!
Your family tree is huge!!!
I’m jealous I was splitting wood yesterday with a splitting maul.
I've been there too with the maul. I couldn't keep up with it nowadays though. I am ever so thankful to have such a big family and all around here close. That is barely a fraction of it! :)
that log splitter is cool
That’s so awesome seeing family coming out and working together!
you 660 is just a bit newer than my old guffer, stihl 066 still runs great is well past 30 years old and i dont know how much it cut before it became mine, when my boss retired i bought it from him, kinda wanted the 090 with a 60 inch bar but i couldnt justify 3k+ for my hobby.
Awesome! Good work! Definitely a great example of many hands lake light work!
Ifs really making me think about ways to do log length splitting for my friends and I next year.
I see more and more how that Eastman made works well
For what you do… all different shapes and sizes of logs and wood!
Do you think that back hoe splitter could be set up or used on a back hoe attachment for a John Deere 4320 Tractor?
oh, and I haven’t forgot about those emails lol. Just taking care of other things first.
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see the next one!
Thanks a lot! I'm not sure that a little tractor would be able to be as effective as the backhoe. The backhoe is just barely strong enough to do much of what I want to do.

Homemade sawmills are pretty cool ! Guess I should start the wood splitting soon . All my friends here are doing omg it already
I know. It feels like all I've been doing lately. I need a dirt project or something to change the pace!
@@digdrivediy I need to film more . I always forget to bring the GoPro 🤷♂️😂

looks like your dump truck had a tailgate spreader on it at one time
It sure did! Didn't do the box any favors either :/
Love your videos thank you
I love your videos keep making videos.
Thanks a lot Jack. I really appreciate it.
Nothing like breaking out all the toys I mean tools and helping out family my only question is Neal who loves that splitter more you or your dad seems to me he always smiling when he runs it great video
I'll tell you what everybody that runs that splitter becomes a pretty big fan!
Great job.
You have a large family.
Another great video, but I question your wardrobe choices!
I was all out of clean T-shirts so had to reach for the bottom of the stack! jk of course :) I just wanted to be seen!

Yes, that backhoe splitter is the ticket for those big ones.
That teal and silver chevy 1500 z71 looked pretty clean from what I saw of it! 1995?
I can't remember what year it is but yes, it is a very clean truck. I think he's had it since new and has always kept it really nice.
Backhoe splitter still a beast, tho'
I love that backhoe splitter
It's really handy for this really big stuff.
Outdoors with the Morgans #604 ........... 2 people show you how to process firewood fast

What kind of chaps,chainsaw pants are you wearing? Don't look as hot as chaps?
They are Stein brand. My brother-in-law gave them to me. I believe he got them from Europe before they were readily available in US a few years ago. They're really nice, but some of the new styles are even less bulky than these. I prefer the pants over the chaps.

Man... woodboilers are NOT the way to go.
If you're not a hard worker, then I can certainly agree that boilers are not the way to go!
You got ripped all your equipment and your labor and didn't get to keep any of the wood.
I ended up with a dump truck load here cause there was more than we expected. I wasn't doing it for the wood though but it was a nice bonus.
Great job love your videos
