Morning Darrin , that is a massive white oak . Glad you were able to get it . Going to make some fine firewood . Good to see you and give my best to Lovely Lisa and Dallas . 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵
Awesome video Darin! Don’t like to see big old trees come down but when they do it’s a firewood frenzy!! Your going to get a lot of nice wood from that tree, hope your keeping most of it for yourself;) Stay Safe, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵
That's the plan! With white oak, I am going to be greedy and fill my woodshed. I hate seeing these trees tumble as well but it happens and at least it is going to get used versus rotting on the ground.
@@followthegrainfirewood4525 Thanks for checking in. I am just busy with my real job. I am hoping to release a new video soon. I have been recording just not editing.
Hey, brother Darrin. Oh man, those powersaws on the tailboard got me going. Some nice. When ya said you're going to feed the 592, some candy it made me feel proud.
Hello Darin! Good to see ya back “Outside” That was a great harvest on that blowdown White Oak. You should get a lot of splits out of that baby! Take care👊🏻
You got that right! I am legal to 25,300 pounds in combination but I just don't want any hassle. It is absolutely ridiculous that they target pickups and dump trailers. The 26,000 pound rule has been around since the early 90's but let's face it, the trucks today can safely handle more than that.
Great video Darrin!! I've got a pecan tree blown down got to cut up cause its in a field and in the way of a farmer!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Darrin little logger trick , went buckin white oak once you warm up chainsaw chain good time to sharpen your chain . It’s a lot easier with a hand file . No problem great video Darrin .
Hello Mr. WoodRuff, That is a whole lot of prime hardwood, what little rot will not hurt your volume too much, I bet there are 100 bundles or so in that monster.
The rot was really isolated to that one branch. The rest of the tree was perfect. I estimate 3 cord from this tree and if I am correct that is 500 .75 cu feet bundles. However, I am going to be greedy with this tree and fill my personal supply.
What do you think of the Husky light bars? Been looking at a 24 but don't know anyone personally that runs them. Do they flex a lot like for bore cutting trees? Pat from northwest WI
Pat, I don’t find the flex in them to be an issue. I have another Sugi bar and love it. The ones that Timber Kutter Patriot runs are really good too but I can’t think of the name. The light bars are noticeable on the bigger saws. The 28 inch on the 592 made a pretty big difference with fatigue.
🤢. Brother in-law took me to some march madness games in Syracuse. Went to an Irish pub to eat and ordered my one and only Guinness. Took a couple sips and couldn't give the rest away. Brush 🤢🤢🤬🤬 another reason to love the down dead ash woods. Working on field cleanup now. Lot to push w tractor and blade. That's a nice score, great idea pulling it over first. Shame it went down for no apparent reason. Darn high winds
I love Guinness but I understand that it isn't for everyone. It is very sad that this tree went down with the winds but at least it won't lay there and rot. White oak is among the best firewood.
Darrin white oak big $$$ for whiskey 🥃 and wine 🍷 barrels on today market. 😊 check out my logging buddy BJARNE BUTLER cut little timber down in BC Canada 🇨🇦. U tube channel BJARNE BUTLER. Check out EXTREME TRUCKING ON VANCOUVER ISLAND in the 70 . When iiiiii iiiii run the mtns Darrin .
Darren,not bad at all for being by yourself some nice 👍 looking firewood and lumber 🪵 😮😊❤
A lot of work wasn’t captured by the camera as you can imagine!
Morning Darrin , that is a massive white oak . Glad you were able to get it . Going to make some fine firewood . Good to see you and give my best to Lovely Lisa and Dallas . 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵
It measured just about 40 inches and you are right that is some premium firewood.
Congratulations Darrin on the huge White Oak score!! That will keep you busy for awhile.
It sure will! Great gift from Mother Nature
Nice score! Lots of quality firewood there!!👍👍
I don't even mind the smell of white oak. The red oak smells like urine to me. This should come close to filling a bay in my woodshed.
Awesome video Darin! Don’t like to see big old trees come down but when they do it’s a firewood frenzy!!

Hey Darrin, just checking in. Making sure everything is going ok? We haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope all is well! Stay Safe, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵

Wow Darrin great video that is a nice white oak tree you have there will be some nice firewood when all proceed.
That is some premium firewood! I am anxious to see how many cord I get from that one tree.
@woodruffwoods I'm thinking about 2 cord if you use the whole tree it's 3 cord.
Hey, brother Darrin. Oh man, those powersaws on the tailboard got me going. Some nice. When ya said you're going to feed the 592, some candy it made me feel proud.
That saw is a beast. In the one cut I had the rakers a little too aggressive so I changed chains for the cut on the stump. What a difference!!!
Hello Darin, The 592xp just loves big wood, love mine🤘🏻🪵🇺🇸
It is a very good cutting saw. A little on the heavy side but I don't really notice it when cutting.
Hey Darin! Great cutting today! Thanks for bringing us all along
Thanks for watching! I was just watching your video on your slab rack last night. Good stuff!
Hello Darin! Good to see ya back “Outside” That was a great harvest on that blowdown White Oak. You should get a lot of splits out of that baby! Take care👊🏻
It is good to be making video again. I really do enjoy that and lately it has been very hard to find the time.
Heck of a nice score! Between you and other PA channels, Sounds like the dot there doesn’t mess around.

Thanks David. I have never burned pecan but I imagine it would be very good firewood.
Darrin little logger trick , went buckin white oak once you warm up chainsaw chain good time to sharpen your chain . It’s a lot easier with a hand file . No problem great video Darrin .
My dad always said that a warm chain is easier to sharpen. Great advice and if you don’t mind I would like to share that in a video
Nice load of wood there. And even better, it's my kind of size for the Douglas Fir i deal with all the time. 😉👍
You definitely deal with big wood out where you are at.
Thats gonna make a ton of great firewood and hopefully a good bit of lumber for ya!
White oak is about as good as you can get for firewood. I am looking forward to seeing how much it fills my woodshed.
Hey Darrin 👋
Hey bud how are things up north?
@woodruffwoods good bud. 👍 soon be back in the woods.
@@OpenAirAdventureFirewood me too

Nice work! Did your tractor have a third function valve on it or did you plumb it from the rear remote up to the grapple bucket?
Plumbed from the rear remote. It isn’t ideal but it works.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people do that pretty good idea 👍
@@fatefarmspa yeah on a bigger tractor like that it is a really convenient way to do it
Hey Darin. Are you heading to the Firewood Frenzy this year in EauClaire Wisconsin?
I did not go this year. I have been traveling for work and the thought of another few nights in a hotel was just not in the cards.
@@woodruffwoodsmabe next year
