What Firewood Dreams Are Made Of: Huge Oak Tree, Stihl Chainsaws, John Deere Tractors & TTWT!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- I get to live out my firewood dreams and spend a day with Tractor Time with Tim while cutting up a huge fallen oak tree while using my Stihl MS 661C Chainsaw, a John Deere 2038R Tractor with grapple and my 310SE John Deere backhoe wood splitter. It was an awesome day despite being a lot of work. Thanks to my brother Troy Koch for helping out and thanks to Tim and Christy of Tractor Time with Tim for offering up some wood and a chance to come see your place.

Excellent video, Neil! Loved the creativity!
Really enjoyed having you guys here! Lots of fun, and yep, could not have cut up that huge tree without you!
Thanks so much Tim. We had a blast and really appreciate the experience and the firewood. If I'm passing through that way again I may stop to fill up the truck once more!
Saturday morning in Poland, 7_35 - family sleeps - I relax watching this documentary master piece
My son has a tree with 5’6” sump white oak still whittling away on it. 🎉
Wow. Tractor Tim gave you a great deal on a big oak tree for firewood. Just help clean it up & drive his tractor with grapple.
Just wish I had a bigger dump truck Cyndi! I couldn't get it all home! Need to see if Tim will bring me a load.
@@digdrivediy Tractor Tim wanted to come visit you. So that works out great for him to bring you some wood.
Great job keep up the great work
Came over from Tractor Time with Tim. 👍🏻
Hi Mark! Glad to have you stop in. Appreciate all the TTWT viewers!
That is a HUGE TREE!!!
Yeah, he had sent me a pic but when I got there I was shocked!
That was one heck of a tree looked like it did a number on that Beech.
That was a monster! One of the biggest I've seen for sure!
I love it when 2 YT contributors collaborate on a video, esp if it’s 2 contributors I follow regularly. Thanks for a great video treat!
Appreciate you watching Bob. This was really fun to do and hope we can do something else in the future.
Watched Tim's and your Video both were great.
Appreciate it very much Ron!
Combining tools, cool.
You got it BG!
Nice collaboration. Fine channels.
Thanks Tim!
Two great families, tractors, chainsaws and firewood. Definitely a dream combination. Great video!
Thanks so much Vince! Lots to love in these videos 👍🏻
I love your videos! I have been heating our house for almost 15 years with my wood burning oven in the basement. I know how much work it means to collect enough wood during the year to be prepared for the season. And how much fun it is… Every piece of wood which I have burnt since 2009 was totally free, collected from my various sources. Greetings from Germany!
Awesome video, Neil!
Thanks Chad! Appreciate you watching.
Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you
COOL!
That tree was a wood burners dream lol
You got that right Kory!
slick what a tree
You did a really good job with this video.
I really appreciate that Charles. Thanks so much for watching.
Awesome collaboration! I think a grapple for Father’s Day is deserved!
Sounds about right! I'll keep dropping hints and see if anyone picks up on it!
I subscribed after seeing you on Tractor time with Tim. I love your channel and your girls. They both seem to have you wrapped around their little fingers. It happens to all of us Dads. It must be about time to put them on the 755s. I was about their age when I learned to drive an 8N Ford.
Thanks so much Ronald! I never get tired of hearing about subs that enjoy the family aspect of some of the videos here. I think you're right in that those girls got me all wrapped up for sure 😂 I certainly don't mind it though! We are lucky to live so close to family and that the kids love playing together. Also grateful that they'd all rather be outside! I've had them both in 318s but not the 755s yet. I think it is about time! That's for the sub and the great comment. Glad to have you watching.
The splitter on the backhoe is amazing.
It is pretty cool!
Great collab guys. That was one monster tree alright. Always enjoy seeing toys in action. Thanks fellas!!!
Appreciate it! This was a good day of work for sure!
I came over from TTWT. Impressive wood processing day. I bet all slept well that night!
Oh, we sure did Bill! Thanks for stopping over.
Now, that’s a dream I can relate to! A tree so big you have to sharpen the saw twice... a grapple so sweet your back feels like it’s getting a therapeutic massage just from watching it work... and a competent helper who knows how to keep up with you safely and confidently... that’s what dreams are made from.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to daydream the work away and awaken to a pile of premium white oak ready for the stove!
Was that a Burr Oak? Looked like one to me. But, without the leaves or nuts it’s hard to tell. I’ll sneak over to Tim’s and see what his thoughts are.
Fallen trees are a bonus... especially when they are dangerously large. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still dangerous. You two did a fine job whittling it down safely.
I had an experience where I was just plain lucky. Following the Joplin tornado there were countless downed trees... the bigger they were the more likely they were down. So, I got in the middle of the cleanup efforts.
On the second or third day I’d cut up all the trees from my daughters and her neighbors property, save one. It was a huge hackberry of about 36” diameter. Being a brittle tree the storm had broken and mangled the limbs into an unrecognized tangle. Then, just to laugh in my face it deposited junk in among the brush... old swing set chains, house siding, blankets, car doors... you name it, the tree had captured it!
I decided to tackle the first fork of the tree that was clear... at about 12 ft from where the stump had emerged from the ground. Because it was lying on its side at about a 30degree angle. That put it at 8’ from the ground. Backing a pickup to it made the perfect cutting platform of the tailgate.
As I began sawing, I was acutely aware that the tree could fall down and mash the tailgate so I had my helper sitting in the pickup, ready to pull it forward if it did.
Did I mention that hackberry is brittle? Well, it’s roots aren’t! About 2/3 way through the cut... the top split from the trunk. The split ran down toward the trunk.
When my helper saw that he gunned the truck to get it out from under it. I did not have time to pull the saw out. I jumped to the ground and ran about 10’.
What ensued was a scene that would be an instant YT viral video... if only there was a camera rolling.
The butt of the top dropped about 2’. As it peeled the bottom third of the trunk away. The remaining portion, relieved of all that weight, took about five seconds to set upright back it the hole it had left. The fit was nearly perfect. If it wasn’t for the insulation hanging on the edges of the roots, you couldn’t tell it had ever been out of the ground.
My saw still sat in the kerf... now at 6’ from the ground. After gathering my wits I pulled it out and we sat on the tailgate to formulate plan B.
While there a utility crew drove up and parked on the street nearby. After a few minutes one of the guys came over and introduced himself. He was with a crew from Phoenix. They were in town working at disaster relief... he looked at the 12’ tall stump and said, “We don’t have trees like this at home. We were curious why you cut it so high off the ground?”
My helper said, “The trunk was too big to cut with our saw. We just wanted the top.”
He whistled and replied, “I wish I’d been here to see how you got up there to cut it.”
Me, I just grinned and kept my silence.
I learned a few lessons... when live trees fall, their stumps want to go back in their hole... and when they get the chance they do it with vengeance. You cut a tree off 12’ from the ground with no visible means of getting up there and... out-of-towners will stop to marvel!
Neil, glad you made it through that big-un safely... and I envy your dream induced stash!
I think you're likely right about it being a Burr Oak. I wish I was better at identifying the species, but without the leaves I start guessing pretty hard... that is unless it is something obvious.
This tree wasn't quite as dangerous as what it sounds like yours was. I have never had to unfortunate opportunity to clean up a fallen storm damage tree as you describe. Sounds pretty sketchy and I'm glad it wasn't a story that someone else is telling on your behalf! Wish there had been that viral hit from it though!
Good stuff as always Dave. Glad to see your latest video have so many views. I'm still in catch up mode over the last week or so but always continue to look forward to your comments.
Have a great week!
Seems like the UA-cam world is getting smaller, the collaboration (to me) is first rate and good for all involved. Neil, you make great videos and as I have said before, I do look for them.
Much appreciated Richard. This was such a natural fit for me to meet with Tim. So much in common interests and both in Indiana!
Your videos are always outstanding!!
Great collaboration with Tim too.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. This was really fun and I "went out on a limb" with the dream idea!
Neil your the best keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Awe shucks. Thanks Ed!
I also came from TTWT. It is great video, 2 different channels 1 tree, it just don't get any better.
Thanks so much Curt! Glad to have you over here checking it out.
Nice complement to Tim's video Neil. I have watch a couple of your videos now and like what you do. Was very impressed with your backhoe splitter. Tractors, wood, chain saws, and dump trucks make for good content! Thanks for posting your "dream".
Thanks John. Really appreciate the kind words and the views and visits. Easy to film stuff you enjoy doing too so hopefully I'll keep them coming!
Good video Neil! Interesting shots from inside the furnace 😎. Tim is a good guy also it was fun to see you guys working together. Thank you
Thanks Tom! Had a great time there and yes, he is an outstanding guy. Really had a great experience.
Great video Neil 👍. What a tree! Looks like the white oaks we have here .
Appreciate it Dirt Brute! I think it was a Burr Oak, but they all look similar to me with no leaves. I'm no expert! Thanks for watching!
That tree was massive! Impressive work as always
When I saw it I thought "there is no way we're getting this done today or that I'm hauling much wood home". I can't believe we got it almost all done.
Hey Neil, new subscriber from the land of TTWT ! Looking forward to catching up on all your videos.
Welcome aboard SW! Thanks for stopping over.
John Deere and Sthil looks like my kinda party
It was a good time! I personally love that combo. Thanks Shane!
Now that’s making a chore fun with friends.
Yes sir. Was a good bit of fun!
Great video Neil! It’s cool seeing you and Tim working together! Once again your editing is phenomenal 👍🏻
Thanks so much Brandon! When are you gonna have some firewood for me to come cut? :) Thanks for watching sir!
@@digdrivediy I’m sure I can come up with some 😁
Came over after watching TTWT. Much fun!
Appreciate it Chuck! Nice to see you here.
Me also!
Me three!
Captain Kleeman sent me, you have a new subscriber here.
I think my Dad heated with wood for the better part of 70 years, I did for 30 years, and 3 brothers did for many years. I can say we did cut a LOT of wood, and split and stacked a lot of wood. It sure would have been easier with a grapple and a backhoe splitter 😎
We were lucky to have a 4 wheel drive pickup and did a lot of hauling with a 2 wheel trailer behind an old tractor. The hydraulic splitter my brother built made it a lot easier.
I take it way easier now days. I heat with corn, about 160 bushel a year for this old farm house.
Hey thanks Charles! So glad to have you along with us as well. I've got a handful of firewood videos and it is something that I still really enjoy. Thanks so much for sharing your family story about firewood. Always amazing how many folks share in those firewood experiences. You could get a lot done with a 4x4 truck, trailer and hyd splitter for sure. Good stuff and good memories!
@@digdrivediy Dad cut, split, stacked and burned wood till his early 80's.
I had to give it up cause of a bad car wreck in 2008 when I was just 55. I still like to help the youngest brother out a bit when I can.
Great Teamwork! Amazing how much the little Deere’s can do, Our 1025r needs front remotes! To work a grapple! 🚜🪵👍🏼🇱🇷
It really is awesome what you can get done. I'd like to add the 3rd function diverter for the front to my little tractor as well.
Sweet video! Great content and awesome to see two of my favorite channels working together! Quality content coming out of my neck of the woods. #indiana
Thanks Chris!
&
Thanks Neil! I also came over from TTWT, looks like another great channel!
Great to have you John and thanks for giving us a try!
Awesome collab! Great video with some awesome people!
Good times Josh. Thanks!
Very cool, your editing skills are getting better with every video. Good to see Troy with you
Thanks Tony. Troy was a lifesaver on this project for sure!
Came from TTWT, and it was great to see it again from your perspective and style! sub'd!
Thanks! I was trying to change it up a bit so it didn't look like the same video. Appreciate the sub and having you give your time to come check out the channel.
Awesome. You really have a talent for producing videos
Thanks Brock. I was nervous starting this one. Glad it came together. Appreciate you watching.
Great video, dream and all! Been a watcher of TTWT for a long time now and glad I've found your channel!
Thanks Donald! Glad to have you stop by. Long time fan of TTWT myself.
Came over from Tractor Time with Tim. Great video of y'all
Appreciate it David.
Howdy Neil, im Joe B from the Bunnies and Bzzz microfarm. Im a long time TTWT viewer. Im now subscribed and looking forward to binging your videos. We just finished filming our second video. Good stuff brother.
Appreciate it Joe B! Glad to have you on board and hope you can find something here worth watching. Thanks so much for checking it out!
Hi Neil - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I don't think my beloved timber tongs would have been of much use on those massive rings! Also, your split pieces for your boiler would be of little use to most stoves over here - last week I had an order for a half cord of 9 inch logs no bigger than 2 1/2 inches thick for a small stove.
Holy smokes Big Rodders! That's a lot of little toothpicks to work with! Yeah, my boiler eats some big pieces but sometimes I break em down just so I can pick them up. I took your timber tongs along on this job but they never made it out of the truck! Thanks for checkin' in with this one friend. Take care.
Very nice job on this video. Very creative story line! I follow Tim too so it was great to see you guys work on one together. Free oak firewood always interests us wood burners even if it's someone else's. Dangerous job with something that big, that far off the ground, and with all the overhead branches but you did a nice job of getting it cut up safely. That grapple was the star of the video! Definitely need one.
I really appreciate all that! It was a bit of a challenge but all the tools we had really made it so much easier. That grapple is great!
Great work on the huge tree with Tim, Christy and crew. You definitely have all the equipment, except for the grapple. You better go get one on order today.
I wondered about your camera in that shot from the firebox looking back at you. It seems that it survived the hot fire with it mounted on the new wood you just put in there. That was a great shot.
That grapple was something else! Made me a believer for sure! Now I know who watches the videos until the very end 😁 Thanks for all your support!
Always great to see you "geared up" for safety.
My cousin ,just this week, chewed up a leg while limbing a tree .
He will be out of work and in rehab for 8 weeks.
Gloves ,goggles, muffs were no where near enough protection
Man that stinks to hear about your cousin. I'm not always as safe as I could be, but I've been doing a lot better job as I grow older!
I hope he heals up quickly!
@@calebmiller1875
He's all better now
Hello. We saw you on Tractor time with Tim. I have joined your channel also.
Welcome Dale! Thanks for stopping by and having a look. I appreciate you joining us.
That 310SE and the splitter is out of this world. Think it'd work on a smaller backhoe like one for a 2032R/2038R or smaller? Very neat collaboration. Can't wait to see when the next is and who's in it.
I'm not sure how it would do. Tim and I talked about that and he doesn't think it would do very well. Might be worth a try though.
Love the video! Very creative! TTWT regular here.
Appreciate it Bryan. Thanks for jumping over to check it out!
The grapple gives you flexibility and adds to safety of the project and your excavator splitter is almost the perfect firewood splitter. Next you need a batch firewood loaderfor your boiler.
Stay safe
It was a great setup Tim. I don't think we could have got through it all in a day if not for that grapple and all the right equipment. Thanks for watching!
Came over from Tractor Time with Tim
Nice to have you David!
Two of my favorite come together....DDD & TTT!
That was a fun and busy day. Was great meeting Tim and Christy!
I was seriously just thinking the other day if I would ever see Neil & Tim together on a project. Guess I don't need to wonder no more lol.
Haha! Wonder no more my friend. Thanks for watching!
It seems you have a number of people coming over from TTWT, I don't normally like to "follow the crowd" but in this case the crowd seems to have found a great idea. I love the backhoe splitter. Though I did have a thought, and it might not work as envisioned, about instead of having a single blade, have a tip that resembles a phillips head screw driver. :)
Not a bad idea Ken. I had a 4 way on there for a while but it wasn't working like I wanted. May need to revisit that idea in the future, so you've certainly got a good thought there. I appreciate you joining the others that chose to my channel a look and thank you for your time in watching. Take care!
I freakin loved this video !
Thanks Herb!
So cool to see you guys work together. That tree was HUGE... I'm a little confused on how all the tractor footage was in your video and not his... I guess we might see that next time on Tractor Time With Tim.
Nice editing, loved the dream sequence.
Thanks Curt! I was excited for this to finally happen. It was a monster of a tree! It is essentially just however it was edited. We had our camera up close quite a bit and walking around while they had wide shots and more cutting action. I'm glad they're not both too similar. Hope you liked both videos and thanks so much for watching. I appreciate the support.
Hi Neil, cool videos! I just came across them. I cut and split 100's if not thousands of cords for my parents. In the 70's to 2000 I wood ( lol spelling) use a maul. But what i remember most is the time got I with my dad!!! He was getting up there in age. We'd get him a chair so he could run the controls to the splitter ( we upgraded from maul lol) i would feed the wood and pile it up. Green wood we would pile so air would go through it. Seasoned wood I would stack. Miss my dad he was a great dad and funny!!! Ty for sharing!!
I love hearing stories like that Doug. Thanks so much for sharing. I have lots of fond firewood making memories. I enjoy spending the time with my Dad as well. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@digdrivediy ty neil. We only go through life once!! Well my dad and me had a fun life to together!!! He was my step dad but i called him dad. Best guy and funniest man Ever!!!
I’d love to see you put a grapple on your 755
I would love to see that as well. Hopefully someday.
New subscriber. Great video. Wow that is some big wood👍
So great to have you! Thanks for jumping over to visit!
Really cool collaboration Neil!
Thanks Zach! I was loving it for sure.
Great video you should definitely get a grapple for your tractor 🚜
I want one now so bad. Didn't think I needed one but now, not so much... 😋 Thanks Russell!
Have you ever considered turning that into a 4,6 or 8 way then you could possibly put up the round bring it over your truck box and split it all in one go ?
I had it built into a 4 way for a while. Found I was making too many toothpicks and it was difficult to use when I didn't want the 4 way. I may revisit the design in the future but working good for me like it is as I cut big chunks anyway. Thanks for watching!
If you’ll lower your 3 point down closer to the ground with all those weights you’ll greatly lower your center of gravity thus making the tractor more stable and you’ll be able to lift more weight.
That is a good tip but actually the rear tires are filled with rim guard on this tractor providing LOTS of ballast. (Tim mentions how much exactly in the comments on his video). It will lift nearly it's maximum capacity without tipping but these logs were pushing it, especially when starting with the log already elevated higher than what it could have lifted it. Appreciate you watching!
It was a great video I was honestly waiting on the loader to break 🤦🏼♂️, glad I stumbled upon your channel keep up the great work.
@@joeydalia2572 Thanks Joey! yeah, I thought it was gonna break for sure. I didn't know he had rim guard in the tires cause when I was there I said there is no way just those rear weights are gonna work!
New subscriber here thanks to TTWT 👍🏻, great collaboration videos, man that tree was huge, I’m curious how much cords of wood it gave.
Thanks so much! Appreciate you jumping over to check it out. I wish I could figure how much wood was in that thing. It was a monster. Glad to have you on board!
I’m assuming that is a Chestnut Oak. It’s in the Red Oak family, but the sawmills put the lumber in with White Oak when it’s been sawed.
Interesting.
I'm sure I'm not the first to offer the conjecture but what about a splitter on a compact tractor grapple !
Possible ??? ... maybe with a single jaw grapple ?
I'm afraid it wouldn't have the power necessary to split the wood.
Well that was different, watching the "same" video from two different perspectives! Your approach was fresh and very funny. You are definitely braver than I would be with the camera shot from INSIDE the furnace. I may have to keep an eye on you. haha Well done! You can blame Tim for my being here! lol
Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm glad you liked the different approach. I wanted to do something so that it didn't feel like watching the same thing so hopefully that came off that way. I've wanted to do that camera shot for a while now but had to work up the nerve. It was only in there a few seconds so I think it was fine, although it was hot! I had a metal plate between it and the fire as well. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!
Agreed, D A! Totally different perspective! I loved it!
Great intro and ending to this video! That sure was a big tree and a big challenge! You did that job very carefully and with skill. My buddy built a splitter something like yours for his excavator a couple years ago, said he saw the idea on UA-cam I bet it was from your channel!
Ha! He may have seen it on there. My oldest video of this splitter is probably 7 years old. Thanks for watching the videos and all the kind words. I'll get over and check out your channel when I get caught up here. Take care!
@@digdrivediy I would really appreciate that! We do a lot of similar type projects and work but you do a such an amazing job filming and editing your videos. Have a good day!
Great story line and editing. I was wondering how you got that shot in the boiler without roasting a camera. 👍🏼
Thanks! This was a fun one to make :)
Keep
your videos keep getting better and they were great from the start.how many cords do you think that tree would make
Thanks so much Casy casy. Boy, I'd hate to guess. We burned some that would still be good. Still some in the trunk too. What do you think? 6-8?
Grapple implement looks perfect for compact tractors. What brand!? Searching for one myself. Thanks.
This was an Artillian grapple Nick. It worked awesome!
That Backhoe splitter looks fantastic. Did you make that yourself? If so, do u have any videos of when u did. I’ve got a old 1970’s Scandig (Swedish designed stand alone backhoe) contraption that would be a ideal candidate for such a device. Btw, Matt from Diesel Creek sent me over :-). Great channel you’ve got. Thanks.
Hey Sean thanks so much for checking out the channel. I built the splitter myself but didn't invent the idea, just built my own version. I didn't know that Matt had mentioned the channel! I'll have to go find where that is and be sure to thank him! I didn't make a video of when I built the splitter but I did make a video featuring it. You can see it here:
ua-cam.com/video/AJnxYoCK-nk/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@digdrivediy thanks Neil. I’ll have a look at that link you sent. Matt mentioned you and a couple of other chaps in one of his recent videos. From memory it was at some machinery expo. Cheers, from New Zealand.
29th Comment, 552 views, and 20.4 K subscribers, can't wait to see the growth over the next few weeks.
Thanks Troy! I've very thankful for all the support from TTWT viewers! Good people hanging out on his channel.
Fantastic yet again just wondering was that big saw an ms 661 and what size bar it was
Good eye! yes it was an MS 661C.
Another great video with wonderful editing and photography . I really enjoyed the humorous dream feature in yours and Tim's video as well.
As to the origin of the word dornick, I'm not sure. I would agree it's most likely an old rural slang.like when my sisters and I still say "red up the table". There's a few others, and it may even be an old German word my grandparents threw in. Anyway dornick means any type of lump, bump, scab, or something that sticks out and needs to be removed. Heck, maybe my Dad made it up! - Mom
Thanks Mom. I knew that word sounded like something that Grandpa said. Pretty interesting and I had never given it a thought before, just always used the word. Thanks for the explanation and thanks for watching!
Ttwt. Sent me.
Appreciate it Shad!
Awesome video. Just so you can update your video description, the tractor was a 2038r not a 3038r.
Thanks Kevin! Good catch. You must be the first person that read the description! 😉 I appreciate the heads up on that and I did change it now! Thanks for watching.
@@digdrivediy I probably wouldn’t have caught it except I have the same tractor.
So, did you get the grapple yet? 🚜🚜🚛🚛🚜🚜
Nothing yet darn it!
Unless I’ve missed the explanation somewhere, I Am assuming that you do NOT need to cure your firewood before burning in the wood fired boiler?
Most firewood that goes in my stove has air dried for at least a year or more. This oak won't likely make it into the stove this season (now that it has warmed up I know it won't). It just happened to be the tree that fit my storyline as many times I am nearly out of wood and someone will call with a dead tree they want cut up or something that will burn right away. I can mix in some green wood though too when I'm in a real pinch. Thanks for watching!
How many bush cord are in that tree
I wish I had a good way to figure that out Robert!
Who needs to worry about pinched chain bars when you have a tractor?
Exactly!!
How much did those 24"-30" sections of Large Trunk Chucks weigh?
Good question. Wish we had a way to weigh it easily.
Neil, Have you ever had any need for a 3rd function on your 755? I have, I saw your quick hitch video, they make skid steer claws... Does the 755 have enough ports for a 3rd function? I think that would make a good youtube video if you could find out how to make it work.
Thats a huge tree
I'd love to have a third function. I would like to look into making that happen and get a grapple. I have started to do a little research. Thanks for the great suggestion!
Yes it was!
The guy standing next to the backhoe during operation is none too smart
All stunts performed on a closed course by professionals. Don't try this at home... :) He didn't stand there too long though.
You guys asked what kind of wood it was looks like Bur oak
Could be. I kept thinking "swamp oak" but I'm not even sure about that.
You oculd throw whole trees in that box you are burning wood in lol
How far do you live from Tim
He is about 2 hours south of me.
You should make that backhoe splitter into a an X or star shape instead of just a straight edge where it only halves the stumps. Also, you should push it down into the stump when it is resting on concrete .. wouldnt that split the stumps into logs a lot faster? What is the flaw in this reasoning?
To split in the concrete you'd need to use a "hammer" motion to get it to split and it's hard on the backhoe.
@@digdrivediy Got it.
With the prices of lumber if that tree wasn't red oak you could have milled it to lumber and retired from the proceeds
Haha! It was good wood for sure.
Would you ever like a grapple on your 755 John Deere ?
I would love to have a grapple on the 755 Tyler. Maybe one of these days I'll get one for it. Thanks for watching!
If you ever hear of some guy in Michigan who likes the word dornic or doornick that would be me, now I know why you like the U.P., have you come across some of there words that just makes you shake your head.
Do you say that word already then Keith? I can't believe I could find someone familiar with it??
@@digdrivediy no not i use at the present but you can bet when I trim out the trees I have down this 63 year old farm is going to cut off every dornic. I may even have a little fun with my Amish buddies.
