Full Weekend Of Firewood - Splitting, Bagging, and Delivering
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- In today's project, follow along as we spend a weekend in the firewood business. We’ll start off splitting wood with the Split Force 13/20T splitter/conveyor, filling the barn to season for next year. Then we’ll hit the road for restaurant and residential firewood deliveries. The Ford F550 4x4 and Fassi F50 knuckle boom make firewood deliveries easy! We’ll also fill up some face cord bulk firewood bags for a future delivery, using the Kioti NX5510 tractor. The Suzuki Carry 4x4 mini truck even makes an appearance.

Brilliant set up there!🔥🔥💪💪👍
Now that’s the truck I need. The bags and that rig would be awesome.
It sure saves on our backs! Thanks again for watching!
You have a nice operation in your wood yard, The inventory you have Right Now the Customers will be Calling you For some Fire Wood,
I really appreciate the compliments. Usually around the new year, business picks up, as all of the smaller wood yards run out firewood. Here's to a busy new year! Thanks so much as always for watching!
Love it. You have made it easy for yourself in many ways. You need rotational forklift toes now to load the bag for you. Save you all that time to fill them manually. Watching from Northern Ireland. 👍
Appreciate the kind words. Definitely have a forklift on the future "want" list. Great to have you watching from Northern Ireland!
Happy Holidays! Thanks for taking us along.
Happy Holidays to you and yours! Always appreciate you watching!
Yea I like it too. Would love to have one
I want this life!
It's a lot of fun most of the time! Appreciate you watching!
Your log splitter has a spider man mode btw
Haha! Yea it’s pretty good at climbing the walls. Appreciate you watching!
New sub. Your channel just popped up. Looks like you do things a little different than some of the other channels I watch. Cold here this morning 9 degrees out. Going to clean and maintenance some saws to start with. Stay warm 👍👍
Glad to have you subscribed! Definitely do things a little different than most. It works out pretty well for us. 9 is tough! Hope you're working on your saws in doors. Thanks so much for watching!
Very nice! Big fan of the channel over here. I’ve seen you around town a few times. Keep up the good work! When my Eastonmade 12-22 with 7-way box wedge comes in at the end of February we should get them together.
Really appreciate the kind words! Congrats on the Eastonmade purchase, fine machines. If you're local, would love to get together. Always nice to expand the wood network! Shoot me an email. Thanks so much for watching!
Just came across your channel. I’m definitely subscribing. If I can ever afford some land and equipment I’d love to start my own side job doing this. My grandfather owned a sawmill and a small logging company. My mom always tells me Im just like her father. By the way I noticed your address in the description said Youngsville. Do you live in Youngsville? I live in Zebulon. Not too far from Youngsville!
Welcome! Glad you found the channel. Sounds like great aspirations for your future property/operation. I'm just outside of Youngsville. Not too far from you. Appreciate you watching!
Since truck rides so rough, you need to sell and buy a comfy one :)
Hahaha! If only they made a comfy truck that would haul that much. We took the boom truck to Canada earlier this year and it just about killed us. Never again! Appreciate you watching!
Really nice operation you have going on there. I’m not familiar with the term “face cord“ Hope you are having a great new year!
Appreciate your kind words! A face cord is a third off a full cord, or one "face" of a stack of 3 rows that are 4 foot tall by 8 foot wide of 16" splits (full cord). Happy New Year and thanks so much for watching!
So you can fit face cords in these bags . Nice knuckle boom truck . How does the firewood dry in that barn . I am in ohio have my firewood stacks outside. I ve been selling good . Thanks Daniel
Yes sir, 4'x8' stack of 16" pieces fits loosely in the bags. Has made delivering so much easier for us. The wood drys extremely well in the barns. In the summer, the heat on the tin roof in combination with a constant breeze blowing through the center, really speeds up the process. Glad to hear business is good. I'm sure it's cold up your way this morning. Appreciate you watching!
@@FoxfireProjects yes sir a bit chilly .
yes that truck does haul some weight but 4 pallets of concrete would snap that frame. that would be about 14k lbs
You sound like Marty Stauffer a bit
Great crane that is what's the lifting capacity have a 070 hiab on my own truck
Thanks for the kind words. Fully extended about 1500#, almost double that not extended. Appreciate you watching!
Hi do you not always get your bag back and how much does a bag cost?
We get the bags back to refill from most of our restaurants, and about 40-50% of residential sales, mostly repeat customers. We don't use a deposit system, and factor the bag into the cost of the wood. Have seen folks use them for yard debris, storage, and even a kid's fort. Thanks so much for watching!
Do you stack the wood to dry and season this way
We season several ways, all with great results. A lot of wood is seasoned right in the bags, they are made with a breathable mesh fabric that allows air flow, works really great outside in our summer heat. We also season under cover in barns. It really makes a beautiful wood, with no color fading from sun or rain. Thanks so much for watching!
That's a great truck set up did you find that used or did you have it built? 2nd question do you charge your customers a deposit on the firewood bag or do you just include it in the price of the face cord ?
Appreciate the kind words. We picked it up used. Was an oil field truck of some sort in its prior life. No deposit on the bags, we factor in to the cost of the wood. We have a lot of repeat customers, that are nice enough to save them for us, so we do get quite a few back to reuse. Thanks for watching!
If you was to stack the firewood from one of them bags how tall and long would it be
4’ tall by 8’ wide. 16” pieces. Appreciate you watching!
The clients I delivered to had to buy a cord at a time sometimes two.....
It got delivered in one big pile.
220.00 per cord
420.00 per 2 cord.....
Un seasond
280.00 cord seasond
What area are you in? It's really cool to see the wide range of costs across the globe. A few bucks per cord some places to many hundreds in others. Appreciate the info, and thanks so much for watching!
Does that crane lift those bags at 30ft? Do you know roughly what they weigh? Trying to see if it will do hickory. Hickory is super heavy
20' 8" is full extension on this model. Right at 1500 pounds fully extended. We move quite a bit of Hickory and haven't had an issue.
@@FoxfireProjects thank you. I ordered a palfinger PK7 that does 30 at 1,200 pounds. I should be good than watching you go over fences and stuff
@@coreym5072 Should work well. Most of the lift charts and specs are pretty conservative. We’ve pushed the limits many times with no issues.
Ile waży Big bag z drzewo Pozdrawiam
Około 1500 funtów, jeśli jest przyprawiony, więcej, jeśli jest zielony. Dzięki za oglądanie!
tu laisse chèches ton bois combien de temps
Nous vendons le bois une fois qu'il descend en dessous de 20 % d'humidité. Habituellement un an dans notre climat. Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé !
Also how well does the wood dry being piled up like that and being indoors? I pile mine up on pallets outside and I like to have an indoor storage option down the road.
It dries down really well actually. 18% moisture content in less than a year. Southern climate with lots of heat in the summer, and there’s always a breeze flowing through. Wood seasoned under cover just looks so much better from a sellable standpoint. Appreciate you watching!
@@FoxfireProjects I agree up here in New York it’s been pretty wet that’s why I’ve been thinking of building a simple lean too style structure with pallet walls to allow air flow but keep the majority of the rain and snow off of it. That will be a project when I acquire my own larger property to build on and store a lot of wood.
@@heathenfirewoodservice2021 Sounds like a great idea. Keep the moisture off the top and let it breath and you’ll be golden!
Real fancy s*** but I've been doing firewood for almost 40 years I have a dump truck and my customers love my very nice stack it on Palace outside I cover it in the winter time just to talk and it's just fine don't need all the fancy stuff to look to do good put it in the back of my dump truck and go
Sounds like that works well for you. We offer stacking and covering as well. Certainly don't need the technology, but if it's available, I'll gladly use it. Appreciate you watching!
Is your business COD only or do you invoice customers.?
Most homeowner deliveries are cash or check when we get to them, several long standing customers mail in payment if they aren’t home when we deliver. All of our restaurants are on net 30 billing. We’ve got really great customers. It works out well. Appreciate you watching!
