Restaurant and Residential Firewood Deliveries and Log Pickup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- In today's project, we’re delivering firewood and picking up Pecan logs. We’ll start at the wood yard, where we’ll need four wheel drive to load up the wood. Then a full day of restaurant and residential deliveries follows. We’ll end the day by using the Ford F550 and Fassi knuckle boom to pick up a trailer load of Pecan logs. Ride a long as we deliver some firewood! Leave a comment or ask a question down below!

Ahhh, one man efficiency- love it
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much for watching!
here in the suburbs of Levias Ky we pronounce it pa con. I never trusted tongs for flying material seen too many fails. Love the knuckle boom.
Not sure I trust them either haha. These are lifting tongs as opposed to pulling tongs, and we make sure no one, or anything important is under them when flying wood. The knuckle boom with the tongs is a back saving combination. Really appreciate you watching!
That’s some free tree service wood for next year,
Absolutely! Hope to get it processed and drying soon. Thanks as always for watching!
Govermentjuice 🤣 thats a good one
Nice side hustle. I'm so exhausted at the end of my 10a-6p(Paramedic), I can barely handle my own wood needs, much less selling like you do. But amazing that so far you're had 1.1K views on something as simple as this.
Appreciate the kind words. It certainly keeps me busy, but I enjoy it. Thanks for all you do as a first responder, difficult work and very thankless job at times I'm sure. And thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects at the end of the day, most of us really don't care if we've been thanked. Most of the times it takes us by surprise. But when someone takes the time out of their emergency and thanks me, I make sure that I acknowledge that with a thank you. My email signature tag for years reads: “You will get the chance to help a person every time you go out the door. It may be very small, it may be very big. They may understand and appreciate it, or they may not. Regardless, you help every time. And sometimes, you get the chance to change someone’s life for the better.” -Daniel Schwester
@@miketarbox1190 Great words to live by for sure!
I love that set up You're a nice Rig🎉
Appreciate it! Swiss Army knife of trucks haha. Thanks for watching!
Very nice video ,well done.
I watch a half dozen wood yard channels
And that knuckle boom sure answers a lot of wood yard questions.
When I added a backup beeper to my appliance delivery truck,
I chose to add a three dollar toggle switch instead of activating it with the transmission .
It alleviates a ton of unnecessary beeping.
Appreciate the kind words. I would definitely love to turn the back up alarm off sometimes, but we are in and out of residential areas with kids and animals, and back of restaurants, that we just leave it as is, especially for insurance reasons. Also helps our customers know we've arrived on those early weekend deliveries 🤣 Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects yeah
I hear you.
It was a beautiful thing to back in to a customers driveway at seven a m. , Give'em two beeps to let them know I was there instead of six or eight beeps .
Most often they would be in the garage eating for me before I got out of the cab.
I know just the feeling, it's always a good delivery when they're in the garage waiting!
Scatter some of your wood chip scraps from the other side of the barn in the mud and it will give you traction.
Great idea! No shortage of that around the wood yard. Thanks so much for watching!
good looking wood well done john
Thanks John, appreciate you watching!
You got a tidy setup going on
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching!
Beautiful area where you are :)
Thanks so much. We're in North Carolina, USA. Not a bad area, but the secret's getting out, as or population is booming! Appreciate you watching!
Hey Foxfire ! Catfish here ! What a setup ! Having that truck is key to the operation and unique in a wood yard ! Love the whole concept ! Keep on chucking ! Catfish @ The Good Samaritan Firewood Project
Thanks so much for the kind words! Appreciate you watching!
I want that truck and boom. Reno
The Swiss army knife of trucks. Handle little booger. Thanks so much for watching!
Love the bags and the bag lift.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Always appreciate you watching!
I wanted to see u go down that hill with that wood
Hahaha! I knew someone would say that. The restaurant had just changed out some of their fryer grease, and the ramp had a nice coating on it. Made for pretty treacherous conditions. Will get some footage for a short video next delivery. Appreciate you watching!
Ooh maate!! I hope you charge em labour???💪💪👍👍
Nice deliveries! Premium stuff. You mentioned mowing with a mini excavator a while back. Is that still in the works?? I ordered a bush hog for my mini excavator this week. (ouch to the bank account) I should have some videos in 4-6 weeks from now of a complete novice all thumbs home owner using it.
Thanks so much! Mini ex mowing was put on hold due to hunting season and it being too wet to get on some of the ground without making a huge mess. Sneak peak of the mower in this video, about the time I get the truck stuck. Planning for this spring for sure. Will make sure to put up a video, and I'll be looking out for yours. Always appreciate you watching!
Hey, I see you’re moving right along! Just over 2k subs👍🏼 Been splitting here in WV but that’s on pause for the next several weeks, it’s time to tap maple trees for now.
Slowly but surely building a nice little community. Oh how I wish we had sugar maples down south. There's some local folks that make syrup from hickory trees, not bad, but just not the same. Good luck this year and thanks for watching!
The entire setup with crane and bags is gorgeous. Assuming government juice is water what was that getting added for? If it's not water what was it and what was it added to/for?
Really appreciate it! Government juice is a nick name for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Basically water and urea that's injected into the exhaust of diesel trucks to clean up the exhaust. Not a great system, but unfortunately with federal laws we are stuck with it. Thanks so much for watching!
I'd never heard of that stuff before. It's not especially common in Aus and then it's mainly latter model cars and trucks. It seems it's only really been a thing in Aus since about 2016. I probably haven't driven any diesel vehicle newer than that.
I think it started around 2008 here in the states with DPF systems. Around 2012 or so is when the DEF fluid showed up on everything over a certain horsepower. We have a fleet of diesel pickups at my day job, and never an issue other than DEF related problems. Hopefully the manufacturers get it ironed out soon. Quite the pain. Hope all is well down under. Thanks again for watching!
I drive that same model truck every day,but it has a dump bed on it.everybody thinks there is something wrong with it because it is so loud !
We've had great luck with this one (knock on wood). Only a few electrical gremlins. It is a bit noisy though. Thanks so much for watching!
as a small buisness firewood guy like most of us watching i wonder is this profitable, cost of truck, crane, bags and processing equip, to make back a face cord at a time , about 150-200$ at a time as a owner operater, id like to hear that commentary, my back is fucked the way i been doing it. so mabye its worth it but i cant see the numbers, but im a dimbass too, thanks for the content!
He's said this isn't his main gig, and he borrows that truck from a buddy when it's available
Appreciate your comment. This isn't my sole job, just an evenings and weekend thing. The boom truck is a good friend of mine's, who also has an evening and weekend wood business. We help each other out. Share labor and costs when possible. We do ok. In our area, we're blessed with pretty good business. We focus on the higher end markets, such as restaurants, cooking woods, and folks who require wheelbarrowing stacking etc. Unlike most businesses, the pandemic was great for us, because everyone was cooped up at home looking for something to do, so fire pit and cooking wood sales took off. Only a very small fraction of our clientele actually burn for heat. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!
When you strap your bags do you ever have any fly out when you’re going down the road at hwy speed?
You would think so, but we've never had an issue. After we tighten all the straps, we always get up top and shuffle a few pieces around if needed to make sure everything rides safely. Works surprisingly well. Appreciate you watching!
Did you order this truck with the knuckleboom? I'm trying to find a truck like this with no luck.
We purchased this one used. It was one of the only ones around at the time, because every ad we found around the US had the same picture of this truck listed. We have since talked with local dealers about ordering a new model spec'd the same. It's doable, but pricey. Thanks for watching!
May I ask what a truck rigged out like yours would cost
This truck was picked up used several years back, before truck prices went crazy. We recently priced a new truck with the same outfitting through a local dealer, and it was around $100k USD. Tough pill to swallow. Appreciate you watching!
