I just purchased a woodchuck because of your video, I had some free wood available down the street from me but there was a bunch I couldn’t get because I couldn’t roll the logs but not anymore, I just bought a wood stove in November and I’ve learned a lot from your videos thanks keep up the good work.
@@InTheWoodyard I just used it yesterday on a log of locust next to my mother’s property that I previously couldn’t get because I couldn’t roll it, it worked great once again thank you for the review 👍
Ok three days in a row watching you have all the fun cutting !!Thats it I'm going to the woods tomorrow 😂 The cant hook is a valuable tool for sure.I cant never keep track of mine!!! See what I did there.
I measure all my firewood 15-16 inch pieces with a whip like you have on your saw but I’m the same cutting log lengths you get shorts I add them to my cords unless it’s like 6 inches we have a wood boiler I burn my cookies !! Enjoy all your videos Chris thanks for making them !! Cody from Ontario 🇨🇦
I have the same can’t hook it has saved me so much time and effort and not to mention chains! By able to lift the logs off the ground is so much better!
That would be one handy tool for being where I cut my wood. I gotta cut a few cord today. Guy specifically said he wants unsplit dead ash. Works for me! Thanks for the video
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 You are right. Never turn your back on the woodpile!! Finally got the tree harvester out of the shop late yesterday. It's going to be great getting back to cutting!!😀 Now I just have to figure out how to pay the bill. LOL!! Take care my friend!!😀😀
@@thefirewooddoctor If I sold my whole collection of saws for what I paid for them when they were new. It still wouldn't come close to paying the bill. I'm expecting the bill on the harvester to be around 10 thousand dollars or so. That's why not Everyone owns one.
Hi Professor - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You could save a couple of nano seconds every bucking session in quicker measurement of log length if you always cut from left to right!!
Yes I know but sometimes there is a cut to be made right in front of me or the logs are hung up in a way that requires a cut in a spot that is over there or some other way that I just keep stabbing at the next one closest to me. It's always a challenge!
@@InTheWoodyard Hi Chris - I know exactly the point you make, I've been there many times. It was my attempt at a little witticism, not my best endeavour I know!
@@InTheWoodyard so true. I have been spending a lot of time in the wood yard splitting by myself since Evan is out of commission it’s not near as fun LOL.
If you want to save some weight off your saws try the Oregon versacut bars. They are light and inexpensive, not tip maintenance required either. Skip tooth chain is lighter and works better for noodling. You just have to find the best setting for the depth gauge and the cut fast. Less teeth to sharpen too
Hey Chris I have a couple of comments. To me it sounds like you're saw may be a little lean. Second when cutting your rounds into manageable sizes try standing them up and then cutting down through.
My saws are auto tune 572xps, they seem fine to me the onboard computer does the tuning really good from what I can tell. If I cut into the grain it is twice as hard to cut through! Thanks for watching Dave!
Cookie monster likes you adding cookies to the pile! Nice work Chris! Those cant hooks are a life saver. Especially in the winter.like you said. I used mine last weekend. How.much do you pay for a trailer load of logs if you dont.mind me asking? Will be looking forward to the next video!
I'll take a stab at it. The reason why you run three saws, always need one backup in case you pinch a bar hard, is so that you can sharpen the saws in the shop/garage than in the cold wood yard?
Yes that is part of the reason. It is better for the saws to cool down and they will last longer if they are not run to hard. Also I like to have three or more sharp chains ready to go so I don't have to spend time in the woods or wood yard sharpening, I can do that at night or over a lunch break. Or if I have a breakdown or problem I just grab the next one.
Where did you come across the chainsaw method called "stand up and buck"? Got the idea of using a long bar to reach the logs on the ground from a Buckin Billy Ray video. A lot of people prefer a shorter bar versus a short one, with many citing that beginners shluld stick to a short bar. What are your thoughts on the "stand up and buck" method versus the old way of bucking logs? Would make for good video content and discussion. Going to save up and get a semi load of logs this coming late spring to early summer.
Mainly I can cut for longer periods of time because I don't have to bend as much to cut, so my back is not as tired. Also, a longer reach is nice. But I would not go much longer for moving the saw around gets trickier in the woods and wood yard with a real long bar.
@@InTheWoodyard I usually don't use bars longer than 24 either. I have 1 saw with a 28 inch just for the the occasional 4 foot diameter tree I come across. Otherwise I usually run a 20 inch bar while limbing and bucking our midwest hardwoods. If the tops are up off the ground I actually like a 16 inch bar on a 70 cc saw with the rakers set a little lower. It's a little grabby but man can you ever make blocks in a hurry in 16 inche and under sized wood. It always depends on what kind of wood I'm cutting as to witch saws I take with me. I usually have 5 or 6 saws with me just so I can give them all some running. I think I have around 15 running saws right now and a few old Homelites that need a little work. TTYL!!
Hi Chris Just curious about your thoughts on Pickaroons and Spikearoons. Saw a video of bloke using one and thought it was rather niffty at the time but didn't take much notice so can't remember who it was.
Looks like you don’t have any neighbors living too close to your wood yard. If you did I bet they’d complain about the noise from the chainsaw. Keep on cutting!
Michael, the only thing I have to do is die, there is a 100% chance of that happening! HA! Lucky for you, I just shot a video TODAY on sharpening chains! It will be out in about a week or so!
Hey Chris, can you do a Chain sharpening video with the die grinder. Just want to see you do it so I have an idea of what the hell I'm doing, thanks bud
You my friend are in luck!! Just today I shot a video of how I sharped my chains! I'm going to get it edited in the next couple of days and it should be out in about a week!
I cut all my logs to 10 " and virtually all is sold in net sacks as none of my customers would be heating with wood, more using in a wood stove in the evening. Greetings from Northern Ireland 😊
I went to your channel to see how to do it right but I only saw other peoples video footage and see you have 115 subscribers. I have only been doing this for 3 years now, one video EVERY day and I only have 1200 videos with 47,000 subscribers can you help me with all your experience?

Yes I did, I suppose you cant wait to get out there!
Really appreciated the vid today. Always great to see and learn!
Glad you enjoyed it! See you tomorrow!
We made a homemade cant very similar 20 yrs ago, used to cut all my logs! Keep Chucking! 👍🏼🇱🇷
That is awesome! Do you use it any more or does the bobcat eliminate all manual labor?

Enjoy all your videos Chris thanks for making them !! Cody from Ontario 🇨🇦
Hello great white north dweller! Ya, a wood boiler eats every thing!
That's money in the bank!! I've always loved cutting barkless wood like that! Let mother nature do alot of the work by drying it!! Stay safe!!
You got that right Tim!It really speeds up the dry time on that slow to dry oak!
Great channel and good job Chris. 🇸🇪
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching! My great grandfather was from Sweden, my last name is Carlson!
I have the same can’t hook it has saved me so much time and effort and not to mention chains! By able to lift the logs off the ground is so much better!
From one Carlson to another, YES!!!!
Another real good video Chris, thank you I bet that can't hook really extends the life of your chains!
You bet it does and it saves my back! Thanks for watching Heath!
A good cant hook is next on my purchase list.
It is a really good tool to have especially if you don't have a tractor!
@@InTheWoodyard lol well I've got a tractor! Which you also need!! But I could still use a good cant hook.
New chains!
Great work!
Thanks Tom!
Another busy day. Great video as always
See you tomorrow
Thanks for watching!
I have a log lift, very handy tool. Looks very dreary here too. Sunshine sure helps the morale.
It's been two weeks with almost no sun!
That would be one handy tool for being where I cut my wood. I gotta cut a few cord today. Guy specifically said he wants unsplit dead ash. Works for me! Thanks for the video
Sounds like a easy job, only half the work!!
@@InTheWoodyard ...or less! lol
Awesome operation...when I'm in the cutting phase, I only cut for about 45 or 60 mins a day.. Thumbs up.
Thanks Mr. Citizen!
Yea, I was looking at getting a Woodchuck. Looks like it would be very handy for the cutting I do.
Yes it's a nice tool! Thanks for watching Tom!
William message of Approval!
William, I approve of your approval!!!!!! Thanks!
Hello Woody and Cookie. O hey Chris, didn’t notice you there. Have a great day ! I definitely need a log Jack
Ya, they are still around! Me too!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
You are right. Never turn your back on the woodpile!!
Finally got the tree harvester out of the shop late yesterday. It's going to be great getting back to cutting!!😀
Now I just have to figure out how to pay the bill. LOL!!
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Sell off part of the chainsaw collection to pay the bill? I'll be expecting a tree to fall on my hkuse any moment not for that sacrilegious comment.
@@thefirewooddoctor If I sold my whole collection of saws for what I paid for them when they were new. It still wouldn't come close to paying the bill. I'm expecting the bill on the harvester to be around 10 thousand dollars or so.

Good morning Al it's good to hear your machine is ready to rock! Ya, I bet it wasn't a small bill for how long it took!
Ha! I'm sure that wouldn't cover the bill!
OWCH!!!

Better get stacking that delivery.
Ya, there is always a lot of work to do in firewood isn't there!
That round at 7.30 was a bit of a tester......!!! Have a good day cutting tomorrow 👍
Yes it was, but they all test me!
Morning! Looks like fun. Have to walk into my real job now.😢 See ya tomorrow. GNI
MorningTodd, ya work is a fun place to be if you can't work of loose it then all of a sudden you miss it!
@@InTheWoodyard so true. I have been spending a lot of time in the wood yard splitting by myself since Evan is out of commission it’s not near as fun LOL.
Wood is and Cookie are looking a little gray today.😀
I know, they are aging fast!

Yes! I am thinking about a new saw and if I get another one i might dedicate one for ripping.
You’re a workhorse as always! How many more truckloads do you think you’ll be buying to get ready for next year?
At least 4-5 more, it just depends on snow and time to process them! Thanks Keith!
Love the videos Chris. How many pulp cords did you cut so far from this pile (2 days, approx 5.5 tanks)?
I'm not sure but if I was to guess... maybe 5-7. Thanks Greg!
How about a sander and some linseed oil for your friends Woody and Cookie.
It is on my list to freshen them up a bit!

You got that right! About $1200-$1600, $100-$110 a pulp cord
If you ever got a new saw. What size would it be and what brand would it be?
It would probably be another Husqvarna 572xp or a similar size saw. Thanks Wackin!
I have a log roller but I’m not too impressed with it, would like one that lifts it off the ground
Give the woodchuck a try, I really like mine! Thanks Joe!
Who makes that log roller it’s nice
Woodchuck!
That’s nice firewood, I can almost smell it
Yes, if you scratch your screen you can! HA!
🤗
Handy tool
Hey Chris! I just did a video hanging some axes and I mentioned you in it. It should be out in a couple weeks.
@@InTheWoodyard nice man! Appreciate it! I have to hang a couple axes soon myself! Always busy!
Hi Chris, nice cutting. Now that the ground is frozen are you planning on going back to the farm where you were getting some ash?
Yes I am! But I have three loads of oak to do first!
🤘
Thanks!

Hi Chris Just curious about your thoughts on Pickaroons and Spikearoons. Saw a video of bloke using one and thought it was rather niffty at the time but didn't take much notice so can't remember who it was.
Hey Ed, yes, I ordered one to use and I am looking forward to it!
Looks like you don’t have any neighbors living too close to your wood yard. If you did I bet they’d complain about the noise from the chainsaw. Keep on cutting!
I am in a industrial park using to back lot for firewood. The closest residential is 1/2 mile away.
you have to give us a video on how you sharpen your chainsaws pleas
Michael, the only thing I have to do is die, there is a 100% chance of that happening! HA! Lucky for you, I just shot a video TODAY on sharpening chains! It will be out in about a week or so!
Is all the dead standing oak from oak wilt? If so are all the oak dying?
Yes it is, there are thousands and thousands of them dying!
Will any survive or will they all be gone like the chestnut, elm, and ash?
I will definitely share this with my wife my girlfriend doesn't know about and vice versa😂😂😂 j/k
