Free wood is always a help,your UA-cam channel lets people know everything about firewood from start to finish. Nothing easy about it at all, great job!!
Thank you and that stack of frozen together rounds was busting your chops for a bit until you got some knocked loose! HA HA Looking forward to hearing what your local newspaper has to say and I hope it brings you a LOT of NEW subscribers! I have been watching you and your buddy for a couple of weeks now and decided it was time for me to subscribe, so you caught another fish! HA HA Fortunately I live down in Arkansas and we rarely get cold enough weather for rounds to freeze together like that...I am just a home producer...around 2 cords a year, I keep 4 cords on my 40 ft X 12 back porch....once cut into rounds it is dropped on the porch with my wife's tractor, then I split it and into a 2 wheel wheel barrow it goes, then rolled over to where it is stacked and then stored, so I only burn my years seasoned wood while last springs wood is drying. Mostly I burn red and white oak, hickory, and maple, but this past year I had a pretty large cedar tree die, and then it was leaned over by some high winds out by my street, so I cut it up and split it....for 2 months my back porch smelled like a hamster cage! HA HA Anyway, I will be watching for new videos.....so keep em coming! Oh, by the way, I am 75 years old and gave up hand splitting about 15 years ago....too hard on my aging back and knees!
@@mikeh8228 glad to have you along. Cedar does have a very distinct smell. Makes fantastic kindling though. We appreciate very much you dropping by and taking time to come to work with us.
The real feel has been very similar around here as well. I like you were throwing your small bit in a wheelbarrow as you were going. Live your process!
Congrats on your Interview from the Local Newspaper. I am in today Splitting my Rounds up just to Cold -4 Windchill. Tomorrow about 15degrees with 40mph., winds and about -5 to -10 Below. Our power went out today also for an Hour. Got the Generator out for the Well Pump, and at least 1light and Charge our Phones. Very nice Wood you Split looked like Ash, Maple, and Birch. When I get back to Splitting tomorrow my Rounds will be down to about 4. More cutting on Friday, in the Log Pile. You and Kevin stay warm my Buddy, and yes a little goes a Long Way. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.
Like most any business YT is a two-way street without viewers there is little point in making content and without content creators there is nothing for us to watch, Thank you and crew for giving us great content!
I just subscribed to your channel Keith from Green Bay Wisconsin. I was watching Davey's Logging New York, I just subscribed to him a week ago and He just recommended that he watches, you.
You musta gave the newspaper our info . They got ahold of us as well but we just been too busy to get back to them . The Bangor paper is up by you so it should help ya out .
Russ it’s a cool day for sure , great weather for time off the year . Hope to keep down to 40 below ⬇️ to great 👍 weather to do some polar bear 🐻❄️ hunting in the BIG LAND . 😊
So was featured in the paper we made the news and paper a couple of times cause all the wood ee had split up there thing was how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood what they put in the paper about the same way with the other one we was always busy so don't know if helped but good advertising happy you got a load of wood long as decent but free always good thanks Russ and Kevin
I mostly tell the firewood stories back in the late sixties we had a landfill so a train derailed and they hauled the cosl that was on the train to the landfill supposed to be dumped and covered up we put it off to the side cause a lot of people around there at the time burnt coal so dad had a friend who had a circus tent and put on the tent and covered it up the people were customers so got ahold of them had a truck with a conveyer on it and delivered to the people at no charge just told them when low let me know so can stock them back up never took a dime for it but they were raised in the generation that nothing is free pay for what you get we said no didn't cost us nothing got paid to get rid of it so they understand what we was doing and i tell you what we got fried chicken and pies homemade bread all kinds of stuff they really appreciated it and both parties never forgot about it either lasted for three years they made improvement to their house and could eat good for the time we took care of them it's not about the money all the time this time we all benefited from it happy to do it your story reminded me of what we did back in the day thanks again russ and clan
@@briannagorman3119 we could but ever additional wedge creates more waste. I have found with our machine the 4 way wedge does the best to produce the size firewood we are looking for
Russ, do you have many complaints from customers about white birch in the deliveries? Is there a % of the order that is tolerable? Just curious. Great video, it’s surprising how frozen the wood pile is. Dave from Maine.👍🇺🇸
@@DaveDunehew-e1f I run for 10% or less when we have white birch in the mix. Yellow birch is great firewood and I'd take that straight for my own use. The wood pile freezes solid with the weather and temps we have had. Have to pound on it to get the rounds loose. Great question.
@@iffykidmn8170 yeah I haven't seen the finished product and have another call with them tomorrow. I hope it helps to she some light on the woodhound community
My dad weighted 140 pounds and ate like a horse but could never gain weight only time was when he got back to the united state from being a prisoner of war WW2 veteran they shipped him down south some place here in the states and fed him a high carbohydrates food felt uncomfortable so he went back to the 140 weight and kept till he died in 2000 but was small but could kick king Kongs ass dynamite comes in small package and he proved it after what he went through nothing could top that
@@KevinHarvey-qw5mj very true Kevin is the same strength wise. It amazes me what he picks up and moves on a regulars basis. God bless your dad for his service and sacrifice.
Write it down, Kevin said, "Nope!" 🤣🤣 That's cool that you got that interview! 👍👍
@@NeighborlyHomestead yeah he surprised me with that one for sure!

@@CharlieNoblin no it's not easy but its what I love. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy to hear the local newspaper mentioned your channel. Good stuff!
We were pretty excited to hear from them. It's pretty neat to see just how many people hear about us as time goes.
Free wood is always a good thing. Can't wait to hear how the interview went. Stay safe.
I can count on one hand the times I have gotten free wood. It's a rare thing for sure.

That’s awesome about the paper interview. More and more exposure to keep the dominoes falling 💪
@@FoothillsFirewood it's all coming together now. I'm excited to see what is coming
Nice getting free wood. Keep safe.
@@131dyana free wood is always welcome
That's great. Between the log load (hopefully that can continue) and the local paper. 😉👍
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood I was so pumped with the freenwood. Can't ask for better than that!

@@ronbrooks6681 yeah the winds are coming here overnight as well. We have wood to deliver tomorrow so we will do what we have to and get things done.
Nice work Russ👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain thanks Todd! Hope you are stocking back up for spring break when the kids are back 🤣
Hi Russ. Free wood and frozen 🥶 wood, lol. Good luck with the News paper.
The frozen wheat of is definitely no fun pounding rounds out of the pile
Any free wood is good, Russ. Looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s video.

Well said! We just bring you guys along to work with us and sometimes there is something new or interesting to throw in the mix.
I see you are wearing some nice insulated boots which is smart for the weather.
@@briannagorman3119 yes there is nothing worse than having cold feet.
Love your videos. Always look forward to the next one. As a fellow New Englander, I appreciate your hard work in the cold.
@@matthewsukeforth2623 I live the cold but the wind I could certainly do without.

@@keithleiterman2185 awesome glad to have you along. We appreciate your support
Nice to be recognized by the locals. Thats pretty cool Russ
@@OpenAirAdventure made Kevin and I pretty darn proud. I'll tell gramp tomorrow morning
Pretty cool Russ!👍👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 yeah the temps are cold too.
You musta gave the newspaper our info . They got ahold of us as well but we just been too busy to get back to them . The Bangor paper is up by you so it should help ya out .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood no she told me she reached out to you first. You guys are the big fish on UA-cam. We are just getting going with our channel
Like the different camera angles Russ. How long till you getting your new machine?
I'm trying to be more creative for people. It's boring watching the same stuff all the time.
thanks for all your help today
@@RobbieTrimm Absolutely any time my friend. That is what the woodhound community is all about.
Tundra is one tough truck! I own a 2019 Tacoma and expect not to replace it in the rest of my time on this old ball of mud.😊
@@joeahopelto8032 they are very tough trucks indeed
Another great video, keep’em coming
@@ArthurBowers-l9y everyday unless otherwise noted 😜
Good job,still splitting and selling, cold isn't bad it's the wind that bites
@@digger413 if the wind would quit I wouldn't complain.
Russ it’s a cool day for sure , great weather for time off the year . Hope to keep down to 40 below ⬇️ to great 👍 weather to do some polar bear 🐻❄️ hunting in the BIG LAND . 😊
I like it about 20 degrees that is a nice comfortable working temperature for winter.
winter, a few days at a time..❄ ❄ You should get a couple welder curtains to block the wind where you stand.🎄 🎄
Good idea! I'll probably just keep standing in the wind. Don't want anyone to think I'm too soft 🤣
Russ I have a question for you what is the splitting wedge ram rod dia and travel ??
Thanks
@@billsaflarski824 23.5" splitting length and the rod is 3.5" diameter
@WilleysFirewood I'm sorry I did mean the main ram the one at the off feed end the one for the 4 way
@ I'll check in the morning for you
Good channel. In Kansas. I burn hedge wood or Osage orange as it is also known. Keep splitting
Right on! Glad to have you along we appreciate you taking time to watch and comment. I don't have that up here in Maine.
All my wood is frozen together too. Had to beat it apart to move it and it’s my seasoned wood.
@@williamkleinsLost40Lodge yeah this weather this winter has not been nice to the woodpiles
So was featured in the paper we made the news and paper a couple of times cause all the wood ee had split up there thing was how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood what they put in the paper about the same way with the other one we was always busy so don't know if helped but good advertising happy you got a load of wood long as decent but free always good thanks Russ and Kevin
@@KevinHarvey-qw5mj I'll always make room for free wood. I very rarely get any so it's welcomed
@@WilleysFirewood just watch gramps he will try and cut it up all at once lol good for you thanks again my friend
@ yes he will have that all cut in one morning for sure
What is the starting price on your new splitter and what is the cycle time
$19750 and the cycle time is 2.25 seconds or less!

I always like getting treats at deliveries.
Free firewood is great
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead I never get free wood I was stoked.
Working in the cold sucks! It could be worse, you could have snow and ice!!
I don't mind snow but the ice is not much fun.
I’m wondering why you couldn’t put another splitter tool on your machine so you don’t have to resplit them
@@briannagorman3119 we could but ever additional wedge creates more waste. I have found with our machine the 4 way wedge does the best to produce the size firewood we are looking for
the bets up to hundred bucks when you take your back window out
@@terrymcclure688 new window is ordered but not going in until spring.
The one time you could have used Kevin’s trademarked “Yep” he hits you with a no! Take care fella’s
@@MicahHughes-y9t never know what you are gonna get out of Kevin. He will keep you guessing for sure
The cold wind will fight ya.
The wind just finds all the spots that aren't covered well.
Привет. С помошником работа движется быстрее. 🤝🤝🤝
Yes having an extra set of hands in the woodyard is invaluable for sure
@@WilleysFirewood, а у вас есть подписчики из России, или я могу быть первым?

Couldn't pick a better person than you guys
@@KevinHarvey-qw5mj I appreciate those words a lot. We try hard to help our community and keep people warm.

@ TY for the reply. Yes yellow birch is much better than white for firewood. I look everyday for a new video.👍😉🇺🇸
Hopefully your interview is written in a positive light we have seen creative writing put the wrong twist on what was stated.
@@iffykidmn8170 yeah I haven't seen the finished product and have another call with them tomorrow. I hope it helps to she some light on the woodhound community
Kevin just needs to eat a pork chop or 6 and gain some weight…he wouldn’t be so cold haha. Great job gentleman…👍
You got that right! He is just a little guy but man can he work. If everyone had a Kevin and a gramp there would be no trees left
I eat all the time I don't gain any weight at all.
@ I wish I could say the same buddy. Haha I eat and I’m cold in this weather too. 🤣
My dad weighted 140 pounds and ate like a horse but could never gain weight only time was when he got back to the united state from being a prisoner of war WW2 veteran they shipped him down south some place here in the states and fed him a high carbohydrates food felt uncomfortable so he went back to the 140 weight and kept till he died in 2000 but was small but could kick king Kongs ass dynamite comes in small package and he proved it after what he went through nothing could top that
@@KevinHarvey-qw5mj very true Kevin is the same strength wise. It amazes me what he picks up and moves on a regulars basis. God bless your dad for his service and sacrifice.
