Love seeing neighbors working together! Would certainly be easier on everyone cutting those smaller trunks to get them up in the air with the grapple! 👍
Good evening GP 😊 Great video editing in harmonic sound of chainsaws 👍Great to see your carry all in action beside a eager woodsman with his chainsaw 🤣👌Yes that wood splitter is nice to see it back in action too 👍 That will make you a lot of chipped wood for your foot path trail 👌 Have a great week Sir Cheers !!!
Hi G.P. seems like Bob is a class clown. It looks funny seeing you split wood the old way. At least you have friends and neighbors who enjoy the same things you do. Have a wonderful week thanks for sharing
LOL! Bobby and Guy seem to have a similar sense of humour, no question. Yes, The Eastonmade and others have been a real treat to be able to try while I have them, but the old BRAVE is always around. Great consumer grade splitter, I think. Cheers Ronald!
Thanks for posting! Would be fun to see you guys on these sessions with some of the prep work that goes into jobs like this, such as gassing/oiling up and sharpening saws, adjustments on chains on the saws, and other things that you like to do putting your equipment together for the day.
Good morning S3! Thanks for the great suggestion. Yup, there is a lot of prep for sure. Perhaps we'll get it in there in a future video. Thanks for watching!
Hello Gord. The carryall has made an appearance. I've had some elms at my old house that I needed to take down as well because of the disease. The meadow looks really nice. Have a good week. Alain
We drove from Brighton Michigan to Frankenmuth and saw a few nice fall colors, but nothing like you have now. You boys need some milk and cookies. Thanks for sharing.
Nice day of getting things done GP. When you were heading out I couldn't believe how much the forest floor was covered with leaves and yet the trees still seemed full of them...lol. You sure have the controls of that grapple down! 👍😀🍻
I always enjoy your videos, Gord. I don't understand why you guy always take the time to chip up the limbs. With so much acreage, there are certainly plenty of out of the way places to stack it. Cheers
LOL! Morning and thanks Larry. Great for the gardens or for my walking trails etc. Plus, in the forest it cleans it up and also allows for it to naturally breakdown etc. Take care and all the best!
Looked like the wood shed was about full. We been having a lot of over cast down here in the states too. The last couple of days was surprising, as it looked like rain but didn't. Perfect time for gathering firewood.
Morning Brian. yup, I can't imagine having to dig those out of the ground and pile them way back without the help of tractors and more modern equipment - must have been such a difficult life back then.
Looking good Gord!! Looks like you have all the guys out there getting Guys fields cleaned up really good. It’s looking really great around there. Everyone is benefiting from this work today.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Lots of great equipment being used. Thanks for sharing with us and keep safe up there. The season colors are wonderful!
Good morning Fred! Yes, it was a good day and had some fun at the same time. It's always much better when we get together to get things done. Be well and all the best!
Looks like a very productive day. I love that grapple and think it will be the next attachment I buy. You might need to get that grill guard done sooner than later.
Ah, the Three Musketeers together again. Instead of swords, they each have a chain saw! Good work guys. Elm does have a very high BTU content therefore good as firewood, but it makes you pay for those BTU's! Thanks for posting!
Had to laugh when Guy and Bob pulled up I thought here comes the A Team . I like that chipper . One can do the chipping while the other is working with the tractor bringing more branches . You're not stuck doing only one thing . Back 40 got one of those chippers sent to him and he loves it . Take care .
Morning Liam. It is awfully handy for anything big and general purpose. I am fortunate Guy helped me out and knows how to weld etc. Allows me to pull a splitter or chipper etc behind it. I think the build videos were #21 through 23. Have a great week!
Two Huskies to one Stihl....tell Bobby and Guy that's about the right ratio...LOL. Just kidding Husky fans!! I gotta tell ya around 7 minutes as you guys were all bending over for the little blocks of pole wood thoughts of a nice 70 year old buzz saw on the back of Guys tractor kept dancing through my head. LOL...nuff said. (-: Have a nice week GP... good job guys !!
Morning Frank. Yes, it has been a while but I love that thing! So simple but but tough and great for big things/needs like hauling lots of wood out. Cheers!
The three musketeers hard at work. Bob sure does love his husky, I will say they are pretty decent saw. Wow That meadow really looks great. You guys have done a wonderful job with it. Hope y’all have a great day stay safe. I can’t wait to get onto the next one. Cheers.
Thanks so much, Hughie! It turned out pretty good, I think too. So much we can do ourselves with a little equipment and some time. Take care and thanks again!
Gord; you better call up Andrew and tell him that you guys want the Eastonmade splitter and elevator back. I see that you also abandoned the Big Tool Rack and went back to your 3pt utility carrier.-----------------------------Loren
LOL! Good morning Loren! We still have them but they are stationed back deep in the forest. Love the BTR but for jobs like this, I can't beat the old carry-all we built. :)) Hope you are keeping well!
Really enjoying the colors. We have mostly chestnut oak, down in this section of South Jersey. Pretty, in it’s own way. Nice to see a different view, though. The blades are super thin on the Electric still that I have. Very disappointing when dull. I just put the thin grinding wheel on the Oregon to sharpen it back up, last week. It’s better than new, with the resharpening. Enjoying your channel. Ted
@@GPOutdoors Major killer of trees around here now is the Purple Ash Borer. We are losing all our ash trees. You might not get it because the larvae below the ash bark are killed when temps stay below -20F for a few days. Our winter temps are now too high for that.
How's she goin'? That's too bad about the elm trees eh!!! We lost all ours here in NS many years ago. Too bad. Many hands make light work and it showed here. Like you say, a good day's work!!! Take care!!
Nice to see everyone coming together to get a project complete. What did we do before we all had grapples? The grapple makes challenging projects so much easier. Keep up the great work!
GP definitely need to put you a guard on the front keep those limbs out of the radiator. I'm sure glad I did after watching your video saved my front several times.
GP in short sleeves and the others have broken out the flannel insulated shirts, while GP cranks Up the heat.. Watch out GP, they’re going to jump in and leave you out in the cold one day. Lol
When my Dad and I are getting our firewood, we usually leave the branches in the bush and just take out the logs. Now granted we have only a quad and trailer for our operation, but to drag out the limbs and chip them for us wouldnt work. That being said, the chipping is a good idea for mulch.
Great video! Its nice to see people working together to help a neighbor. I’d love to have a chipper! One question, at some point in a video could you explain your thoughts on having a cab tractor vs an open station. I have an M6060 open station but one day would like a cab tractor. I guess what I’m asking are there things you miss about the open station tractor? Have a great day!
Morning KH! I will do a video soon. In short, yes - i miss being able to hop on and off it quickly and i miss not having to worry about limbs or branches etc hitting the tractor - mis more to watch out for with the glass all around me. And I miss hearing the sounds of the forest etc. Take care - i will try to get it out in the next few weeks!
Our foliage here is just a little bit past yours I think. The wind and rain last night took a lot of our leaves down Looking at Mt. Moosilauke, I am seeing some snow on top. I thought you were going to keep the snow up there for me!
Really enjoy the videos, awesome tractor, bucking, and chipping work. Getting use to the cab I see, and it will make snow blowing so much more fun. Nothing like tractor therapy. Did someone stack all of that stone in that wall like that? I am assuming that was stone found on the property?
Morning John. Yes it was there probably for a century or more. Many properties up here have them. Must have been treacherous clearing a field and piling the stones like that without any modern day equipment. Thanks for the comment -Cheers!
That’s a great team effort! Gord, you mentioned the loss of our elm and ash trees, but were also losing our beech trees to a fungus. It starts with white speckles on the bark (which if I recall is from a big of some sort), which then allows the the fungus to set in. You can tell if the trees have the fungus if they get eye-shaped markings on the bark. (I have three professional foresters in my family that are my source of tree science LOL!). Sadly, my beech trees at home north of Kingston died several years ago, and now most of my beech trees up in our Lanark Highlands property are dead or dying. With all of the diseases affecting our native tree species it makes me wonder what will be left a few decades from now. Perhaps they’ll eventually develop a natural resistance over time, but that may take many generations.
Prof Dave: It's funny you mentioning the beech trees. I have a beech tree that has died and looks like what you described. I have noticed several other beech trees that are starting to look the same as the dead one and was wondering if they would end up like the elm and ash. I live in southern New Hampshire.
D.A. Ballou yes, unfortunately the fungus that is killing the beech has spread widely and quite quickly. On the hopeful side, there seems to be a very small percentage of the beech species that appear to be resistant to it, so it will be really important to protect every beech that survives in hopes that their seeds will carry the resistance.
We lost all of our pine trees over the last 15 years or so. Probably about 100 trees in all. Some kind of a pine beetle destroyed them all. They got mine first, and now my neighbors on every side are dying. Of course it was after I cut down the last tree that I got a grapple 🤣
GP I’m hearing some sort of really loud whining sound when you are inside the tractor. Almost like a hydraulic or steering pump whine. Not sure if it’s entirely normal but that would drive me nuts 🥜.
Morning Sonnic! Yup, apparently it is a characteristic of this model, I found out. You get used to it but I could definitely do without it for sure. Hope you are keeping well.
Morning MTS! No, it's a monster - my fault totally. Digging granite boulders out of the ground and I applied too much down pressure on the hydraulics. I didn't realize it was that strong - grabbed the rocks too hard and the teeth caved under the pressure on the angled surfaces of the rocks. Cheers!
Morning Burt. Will probably do the same as I did last time on the B2601 ( I did a video on it a while back) - some expanded steel welded onto it. Cheers!
That's a great question Chad. much more stable and capable. The lx can lift about 2x the weight on the 3 point ( 2240 vs 1150 on the 2601) and it weighs around 7-800 lbs more than the 2601, so it is a noticeable difference. Thanks!
Morning kevin. It is a Mingo Marker. We have been using it for years here - great marking tool, I think. If you live in Canada, I sell them on my website. If you live in the US or elsewhere, you can go on their website to purchase ( themingomarker dot com). Cheers!
Good day Bill. Great question - kind of like most things - it's a give and take. Great to be able to free up the rear end 3 point hitch/ PTO for other things, and pull it behind but like most things, not as strong, so to speak, as having it run off the PTO. I have only tried two standalone chippers and this one was far better than the other one I have used. I love the horizontal rotor - take advantage of gravity and the big hopper for throwing in the limbs. Cheers!
GP Outdoors Thanks for the feedback Gord. That’s about what I figured. I have the 6” version of your PTO chipper. Hs always worked great but would be nice to free up the rear of the tractor. I’m awaiting the arrival of a new split fire 3265 splitter with a lifter. Can’t wait. Seems they make a great product so got me thinking of the chipper. If it’s worth the upgrade. Have a great day, Bill
Good morning Wayne. Same one - she's still going strong - with a couple of wounds though - LOL. We'll have to straighten those few tines at some point. Rocks. Cheers!
I would love to have that chipper and grappler. That grapler is awesome. Thank you for the great video. Come visit us on my channel sometime. Stay safe.
@@GPOutdoors my brain wasn't co-operating with me last night. He showed a fix for chafing hoses on the cab tractor of the LX that I didn't know if it would pertain to your tractor. 🙃🙃🙃
Thanks Tom for the heads up. I did see it last week and checked, and mine is a-ok - smaller hoses and no rubbing at all. Cheers and thanks again my friend!
My dream. A tractor, a grapple, a trailer, a chipper.
Sounds good. Cheers Karl!
Many hands make light work! Great memories with your neighbors! Cheers!
GP the leaves are gorgeous! Enjoy! Cheers

My first Husky a 16 inch is 21 years old and still runs great. My second a 24 inch is two years old and a great saw.
Nice! They are a good saw for sure Donald!
Looks like a very productive day. I love that grapple and think it will be the next attachment I buy. You might need to get that grill guard done sooner than later.

Great seat and tractor time GP. You all look like your having too good of a time.
We sure did Karl and got lots of work done too! Cheers!
Having all the right toys,sure makes life a bit easier 🔥👍🤠👏

Watch Paul Shorts channel.
I do Tom! Thanks !
@@GPOutdoors my brain wasn't co-operating with me last night. He showed a fix for chafing hoses on the cab tractor of the LX that I didn't know if it would pertain to your tractor. 🙃🙃🙃
Thanks Tom for the heads up. I did see it last week and checked, and mine is a-ok - smaller hoses and no rubbing at all. Cheers and thanks again my friend!
