  • In this video I get the tractor back from the dealer and show how I modified a pallet with some heavy duty casters to be able to wheel around IBC totes full of firewood on my patio!

    You can find big caster wheels with wheel locks. Will eliminate moving around on patio. Great videos. Great content.

    You must measure moisture at freshly split inner surfice of firewood. If you measure on surfice 21% then i'm sure its way higher inside. Even 21% is too high moisture and make way more airpollution than dry firewood.

    You need to have two lockable caster wheels to lock the pallet in place.

    Hi Jake Dude - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I used to split logs for a big firewood guy and my only mechanisation was a wheelbarrow. He used half cord wooden crates which were a right bummer to handle so I bought an old pallet truck for $100, which transformed my operation and increased efficiency. Some of the benefits were the ability to prevent a load running away by itself and also the control of moving it exactly where you needed the load to be. When I finished that project I sold it for a greater price. However, you dolly truck would have been cheaper - I only hope it doesn't take off across your lawn!!

    • @DudeRanchDIY
      @DudeRanchDIY  2 роки тому

      Work smarter not harder! That’s the name of the game! Sounds like it was $100 well spent Big Rodders! I think I am going to make some kind of little wheel chock to prevent it from rolling. If the casters had wheel locks on them then they would be perfect!!

  • @timgallagher3361
    @timgallagher3361 2 роки тому

    Great job! Question: how about just a pallet jack to move the IBC around? Biggest issue with moving fully packed seasoned wood crate into your basement is mouse nests in the wood.

    • @DudeRanchDIY
      @DudeRanchDIY  2 роки тому

      A pallet jack would definitely work if I had one! I do think the large casters I got probably roll easier though, and were much cheaper than a pallet jack!

    You might want to throw something under the wheels to avoid the wind dumping your tote off the side of your patio.

      Thanks Mike! He sure did, I’ve been wanting to organize the area ever since we moved in and just kind of threw everything down there. Feels good to make it my own. There’s room for a stove but not necessary at all considering our furnace is down there and keeps the area nice and warm!

  • @edjackson8425

    You did not show dumping the heavy load of logs you picked up in the last video. I was curious to see if your dump trailer hydraulics had the power to dump them.

    • @DudeRanchDIY
      @DudeRanchDIY  2 роки тому

      Yeah by the time I got to the sawmill yard it was very dark! The trailer dumped them with absolutely no problem at all! Thanks for watching Ed!

  • @thomasgreene5750
    @thomasgreene5750 2 роки тому

    To get an accurate assessment, you need to split the pieces and check the newly exposed surfaces for moisture.

    • @DudeRanchDIY
      @DudeRanchDIY  2 роки тому

      Considering that the overwhelming majority of moisture in hardwood moves in a vertical direction following the wood pores and vessels seeking lesser pressures I don’t find that the extra step of splitting the wood open provides any more accurate of a moisture measurement than not!
      I’ve found that as long as the probe is placed in the center of the piece rather than towards the outside it provides an accurate moisture reading for the purposes of firewood.

    • @thomasgreene5750
      @thomasgreene5750 2 роки тому

      @@DudeRanchDIY If the wood is close to fully seasoned, it won't be too different, but if it is only partially seasoned, the center will be wetter than the end surfaces. It is the moisture gradient between the interior and the exposed surfaces that drives the moisture to the surface of the wood. There is less resistance per unit distance through the wood to moisture diffusion along the grain than across the grain, but the shorter distance across the grain helps to make up for that difficulty. That is why splitting wood smaller speeds the drying process.

    • @DudeRanchDIY
      @DudeRanchDIY  2 роки тому

      Absolutely I agree! I see I’m not the only one here that knows a little about wood science! I majored in wood science and technology in college haha. You are right about moisture gradient, I think for all intensive purposes though in regards to firewood and testing with a moisture meter if it’s wet it’s wet and if it’s dry we know it and the meter will reflect that 😂
