- We have a peavy and a couple of cant hooks. We try them out and demonstrate what works best for us and why. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment. We love your comments. Have a good one and be safe! ❤
I have a peavy manufacturing company cant with a 48" that i use to roll logs when processing firewood. Your right it always digs in and doesnt slip.
Thanks for watching and your comment! That is an awesome tool from a great company! Have a great day and be safe!
We used peaveys to move, turn and stack big beams when I worked in a mill. We cut and planed Douglas fir beams up to 18”x24”x60’, but most common were 14”x16”x40’. A sharp peavey and rollers let us move, stack and package the beams. The point is useful to separate cants/beams for separation/access or to get purchase on something to slide the cant sideways.
The cant against the beamstop makes it much harder to roll. Slide the cant away from the stop leaving a gap 1/2 the width of the cant (or more). It’s easier on your back if you can push/pull the handle down to make the cant roll.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. We appreciate you sharing your experience and providing some great tips that obviously you have gained by being there doing that! We will definitely be using the advice you shared soon! Appreciate you, have an awesome day, be safe! ❤️
Thanks! that's really helpful.
Thanks for watching and for your wonderful comment! Have a great day, be safe ❤️
I own a vintage wood handled version that I use a lot. One thing I noticed watching these videos is the wood handles make them more quiet. It absorbs all the clinking noise.
Thanks for watching and your comment! Yes, that is a great observation that I hadn’t really noticed until you pointed it out. The wood handled peavy is by far my favorite and most used. Have a great day and be safe!
@@CopperBarnHomestead thank you! And thanks for the video
I pull down instead of up. Switch sides it’s easier for me
Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s a great suggestion, we will definitely try that out! Thank you, enjoy your milling and be safe ❤️
Very informative video, thank you. One thing I did notice though, is that the reason for the reduced capacity of the WoodMizer isn't the teeth on the end of the pole, it's the hook. If you pause it at the seven minute mark, you can see the Stihl's hook is about four inches longer than the WoodMizer's.
Thank you for watching and your comment! That’s interesting and an awesome catch, we will have to check that out! Have a great day and be safe ❤️
I have a Peavy MFG cant hook with a 60" handle, I drive by their factory to work every day.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! We love that tool! They make an awesome product! We very much appreciate the subscription too! Have a great day! Be safe! ❤️
I just subscribed. Mutual dirt perfect subscriber.
I’m thinking maybe a future video on turning I cant with your grappler. I’d be interested to see your technique and how you can avoid damaging the wood. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, subscribing, and your comment. That’s an awesome idea for a video! Have a great day and be safe! Appreciate you! ❤️
I wouldn’t turn it with the grapple. I tried that and it was a mess. The only reason I tried was because I had a 22 foot log and it was about 24 inches in diameter. I ended up just getting the sawmill out of alignment and breaking the the vertical bars that keep the log from rolling. It is hard to ruin your equipment when you do it by hand.
Lol yes grapple is the way to go 👍
Absolutely brother! We love our tractor grapple! ❤️
Looks like in the side by side view that all the points are on pretty much the same angle, all the hooks are just different lengths. That seems like more of a difference in manufacturers than the type of tool. Still a nice comparison, looks like the woodmizer has the smallest grip capacity.
Thanks again for watching and your comment. I think you could be correct. I do know my preference is to use the peavy 2-1 over all of the others. Have a great day and be safe!
Howdy! Thanks for all the content. I’m going through your videos like a typical creep on the internet. b/c I’m going down the rabbit hole of “doing my research” on excavators (35G). I too have a bandsaw mill. Which is a Woodmizer LX55. I like that grapple on Kioti tractor. By chance, who’s the maker of that grapple?
I’m running an old Bobcat skidsteer for most my stuff. I really want an excavator! I just have to justify owning one. If I can get enough side work to make the payments on it. It’s how I rationalize spending $50,000 on equipment. Essentially I want to own it, but not have to pay for it outa my 9-5 job checks. Anyway, I’m rambling. Thanks again, I appreciate y’all.
Hey, thanks for watching and for your comment! The grapple is a MTL attachments RK5. We bought it on eBay and had it shipped. We love the grapple and the mini excavator. We are blessed to have the equipment we’ve accumulated it sure makes homesteading easier. Thanks again, we really appreciate you, have fun, be safe!
stihl has a straight point also
Thanks for watching and your comment. Yes our local Rural King had both types. We haven’t tried it but I’m sure it works well also. Have a great day and be safe!
What does the point do on the longer tool
The point on the peavy is to drive between logs but I mostly use it to dig into the ground and then pry the cants over on the mill. Thanks for watching and you question, have a great day and be safe!
@@CopperBarnHomestead the point on the very end not the point that help roll the log
@@dakotak8437 yes the pike end or spear looking piece. It is used to drive between logs in a pile or to stick in the ground to anchor the lever. Thanks again
@@CopperBarnHomestead thank you very much that's been driving me nuts I couldn't find it anywhere what it did great videos.
Between the cant hook and the peavy...nothing beats a grapple. Hehe, cheater. Pallet forks work too, as does a Mini-ex with a thumb. Now that I'm an old fart and can afford the cheats, I'd have to agree. If the grandkids don't grow up to become unskilled phone zombies they'll be spoiled. Good vid.
Thanks for watching and your comment! Absolutely, it sure is fun figuring out what cheats work best too! Appreciate you! Have a great day and be safe!
Isaac Asimov is alive and cutting lumber :)
Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a great day and be safe!
Somwhat ur saying is none of them worked…
Thanks for watching and your comment. My favorite and the one I use the most is the peavy. None of them do everything best and if the log is so heavy that the leverage they give you isn’t enough none of them are magic. I wouldn’t want to do without my peavy, the cant hooks are nice but not necessary for me to run my mill. Thanks again! Have a great day and be safe!
