- In this video I take care of a lot of the behind the scenes tasks required to keep the firewood and tree business running in the winter. I dispose of a bunch of IBC bladders, get rid of a huge load of ugly wood in the International hook lift truck, and do a bunch of maintenance on the International and @suretractrailers dump trailer.

Next time you have a load it the hook lift wont pick up, chock the roller wheels of the can and slowly back up as you're trying to lift the can. You'll combine the mechanical force of the truck and the hydraulic force of the ram, and it'll lift.
That’s a fantastic idea young man
Where’s that big guy that helps you?
Very Nice!
Thank you!
👍👍👍
Great vid bro
Thanks!
That was a really productive day in my eyes Jake. Lots of small but important things done, and some satisfying bucking and splitting to end it. Good for you. Enjoy your Banquets of course…🤙🏻
Thanks! All the little things need to get done
Nice setup man!
Thanks dude! Been enjoying your content on this rainy morning, we do seem to have a lot in common.
I was reminded that I'd seen one of your tractor grapple videos a while back ... still haven't made one for my tractor :)@@DudeRanchDIY
Nice, I love that grapple. Works well for a variety of things!
So satisfying when you get to fix all the little things that get pushed aside on a day to day basis. Great job 😊
For sure, nice to get all that stuff checked off the list
Jake i do the 4 tote thing n once found my sweet spot ran a 2 by 4 paint boundary neon green all way round on ground but i on old cattle foundation you could try that but if that don't work on your millings maybe 2 T posts at back corners
Yeah the paint doesn’t work great on the Millings, we found a new solution
Cheap, like $10 on Amazon. They even make remote control models which is crazy to me because it must draw current
Nice to see the old international back in the yard. Solid advice keeping the Mrs happy and involved in the firewood hobby. I’m convincing mine to hand split this weekend, it’s a good “traditional wood out, all the big influencers are doing it these days”
Haha good luck with that one
Fold down the visors. They may hold the solar panel up if it releases from the window.
That’s a fantastic idea! Doing it as we speak!
Sometimes you just need a day to catch up on different odd's and ends. Thanks for the video Jake
Agreed, it was a good day
Great repairs, woodyard cleanup, and a heavy load of uglies!! Great video!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks David! It was a productive day!
Looks like you have a handy Dump truck. How many cords of firewood can you haul W/Dump Truck Box. Thanks for the watch.
2 full cords
Well Jake at least you got some things done ✅ in the wood yard with only two hands 🙌 😮😊❤
Very productive day!
That is just an awesome all around truck! I would love something like that!
I love having it! The hook lift makes it so much more useful than your standard dump truck!
You had a long day and you got a lot done and rewarded with some Colorado Kool-aid. Cheers Jake! 🍻🇺🇸
You got that right!
well done i love to watch your videos you make a lot of sense unlike the other woodmen i watch
Thanks I appreciate it!
Glad you got the coolant issue fixed and figured out the battery situation 🙂
Me too! Time will tell
To lift bin by yourself in a pinch, use a chain make a loop 18” and lift with the truck place blocks under the rails, put back down,remove chain and hook back up like usual.if you can get the bin 12-18” off the ground with a chain an blocks you can almost double the lift capacity of your truck
That’s true, I keep some blocks in the tool box as is, I should just start putting them under the rails to begin with
I like the suggestion of backing the truck up as you’re trying to lift.
Maybe your pump needs some maintenance because it is leaking pressure internally.
Me too, I think that would do it. Pump was looked over and it appears to be fine, just a lot of stress on the lift those first few inches
Jake. Set the dumpster on a railroad tie on the hookup end.
I love that truck!
Me too!
You have an electric backup to your brakes. Something is triggering it to remain on. Pedal pressure bad connection etc
It was a bad connection at the brake pressure sensor
Look behind the seat, there may be an access through the cab in the floor. My one ton dump truck has access holes that I ran my back up camera through. Thanks for the videos!
There is but the cord from the solar panel isn’t long enough to make it up into the cab.
Jake, I have the same issue with my old excursion, which I rarely use. In addition to using the solar charger, I added a battery disconnect and now I never have an issue with dead battery’s. There are two in the excursion.
Yeah I need to look into that
I just missed out on a marketplace deal for a gooseneck dumpster can hauler. Nice option to have around. You ran those forks like a pro.
That’s too bad, those are neat, I love having the truck. There’s a guy around here with a bumper pull one, only issue is the whole truck and trailer is so long you loose a lot of maneuverability. Thanks lots of practice with the totes haha
Hey Jake next time you need to lift a bladder that has some stuff left in it out of the cage just tie a light tie down strap to a 30" long 2x4 and stick it inside the bladder. Turn the 2x4 sideways and hook tie down to your loader forks and you can lift the bladder right out without spilling anything.
Yeah if the stuff inside was liquid that would work well!
If you want to make it really easy, drill a hole in the board near the center but a little offset and run the strap through it. Then the board will hang a little sideways, lower it in the hole and maneuver the board (with the loader) so that when you lift it the board hits the inside top, straightens out and lifts the bladder out.
We do this with a piece of steel and chain, and lift large tractor duals with 1 man, never getting out of the skid - works great!
Nice work 👍🇧🇻
Thanks!
Good job on the solar panels.
Thanks hoping they do the trick
Outline the ground with marking paint, will help get the totes in the same place every time.
The marking paint wears away pretty quick on the loose Millings
Put a 4 or 6 inch block under front of bin when you know the load is going to be heavy the leverage should be more favourable
This is a good idea as well
Good to see the not so pretty side of the firewood business, but you were still able to get some foursome splitting done!
For sure! Thanks for watching
Hey Jake, looks like Andrew just about has the bugs all worked out of the 40 C be nice to see that show up at your yard in the near future. You “wood” give him some great exposure I’m sure.
Cheers Woody !!!
Haha that would be nice!
When you dumped load it looked like it was having a hard time lifting then it just took off! It might just be your lift valve! It might not be opening properly. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Yeah it does that from time to time, I always attributed it to just building up pressure because it then has no problem once it gets going?
What brand of hoodies do you wear? I like the quarter zip style like that
@arborwear double thick. best hoodie ever, the snaps allow the hood to go over your hardhat

Can you put bigger hydraulic pistons on the truck like you did the tractor?
Maybe? I’d have to check clearance and stuff like that. I think there are easier ways though
Hey Jake how are you doing I'm good just wanted to say hi and great video
Hey Robert I’m well, thanks for watching!
How many tots equal a cord? What's the diameter of tots? So you leave to with customer and pick up empty, how do you off load tots at customers house?
3 large loose filled totes equals a cord. I dump the totes in my truck and then at customers or I can deliver the entire tote to customer with my machine.
would it not of been better to cut hem up and flat pack them. it would fit a lot more into the container.
I didnt need to fit any more in the can as that’s all that I had.
What was all tangled up in that tree? Ivy?
Yeah poison ivy, part of the reason why I was getting rid of it
@@DudeRanchDIY DUDE, no way in hell I'm going anywhere near that sucker. Remember what happened to Brad, yeah only worse
Why don’t you cut the bottoms off as well and use them for caps ?
Because there is a big bump out in the plastic where the valve is

Haha gotta keep the lil lady happy or else!

There's a glamorous side of firewood?????????????????
oh my yes. to see progress and the turning of raw logs into beautiful firewood is a nice way to work..if you can get it
Your Mrs shouldn’t be such a wimp, she needs to burn all the raggy logs and save the nice pretty logs to sell. I mean it’s the principle of the thing, she wouldn’t have lasted long in WW2.
I’ll be sure to let her know… She and I have been burning the undesirable wood for the past 3 years. It’s a pain to bring into the house because it doesn’t stack well and hard to pack the stoves full due to the inconsistent shapes. If I’m in the position to be able to burn nice larger splits for myself I will do that. The WW2 comment is wild… as if heating our home has ANYTHING to do with war.
