Yessir, grew up doing both farming and logging. There are a lot of similarities and struggles. Thanks for the kind words and thx for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again!
Another great video. Your right the market aint great right now. We ahve alot of ties being culled that normally would have went thru no problems but u gotta take the bad with the good i reckon. Keep up the good work. Be safe
Yes, for sure! I’m glad you understand. We just had to take the good with the bad as you say. Thank you for such kind words… And taking time to watch and comment take care of yourself, and do come again, please.
Thank you sir, and likewise! Thx for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care my friend and do come again please
Yessir you’re welcome! I enjoy tinkering with them. Heck, I could probably make a full time living just working on saws lol. I’m always tinkering on my own and others saws. Thanks for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!
Ha ha, thank you, sir. That means a lot! I try to be efficient as possible no doubt. Thank you again for taking time to watch in comment Mr. Dale! I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care and do come again please.
Hi Zach. As a former heavy equipment operator. You do pretty well on that skid steer and front-end loader with the forks. Those skid steers are no walk in the park. I feel bad for you trying to look through that windshield when they get scratched up like that. When I saw your truck, I was smiling when I saw that two speed rearend. I learned to drive in a 1971 International Loadstar single axle dump with a two speed rearend. Zach. It's such a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos. The more you explain the more we understand from an industry we don't get to see. Especially when the work is completed in a more traditional way as our ancestors worked. Example. I did not know that those chain saws had a top and bottom end that could be rebuilt. Or that they could be four cycle, I figured they were all two. Zach, your channel is one of the most enjoyable channels to watch on you tube. Thank you, Zach, I wish you, your family and mules safe travels and a happy prosperous life.
Thank you so much for all the kind words and encouragement! In a world we live in now, it’s refreshing to have people here that are polite and encouraging. I’ve tried to create a clean fun atmosphere here where people can come, relax, hangout, and have fun all while learning too. So thank you for your support. On the saws, they are all 2 strokes, however…when you set the high speed mixture you want to lean it out and then back rich until it starts “4 stroking.” Because when you load it in the wood, it’ll lean out a little and flatten back out. During the break-in though, I was loading it enough to flatten out. Which was good! I’m going to start cutting timber with it full bore and I’ll turn it on up to where he’ll eat. But in the beginning it’s best to ease into it. If there is a problem, you’ll catch it before it becomes a major problem if that makes sense. And on the skid steer window, I need to replace it bad. The guy I bought it from done some mulching with it, and it’s scratched and hazed up bad. It’s on my list to do! Anyway, thanks again and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
When you finish all the tree cutting up that way you know where to find me. Lol. I don’t know if you’ve told this part of your life but folks this young man know how to fly an airplane to. I went flying with him several times before he moved to Tennessee. Just FYI. Please be careful Zach.
Ha ha, probably so! I hope at least lol. Thank you for the laugh and the kind words. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Thank you, sir! Most of all my stuff is used, but I get along good with it. And it is good equipment as you say. Just used I like to take the old stuff and rebuild it. Thank you for the kind words, my friend and also thank you for taking time to comment as always. Take care and do come again, please
Thank you sir! I like it so far…time will tell. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care and do come again, please
Enjoyed it Zack !! Thank Ya Sir I have had logs in the past , lots of separating of the wood as to what goes where, back then on hardwood, the shear operator said when we left a tract , only things left was sawdust & pine straw !! Take cae , keep up the good work !!
Dear Zach Thank you for explaining all about your magnificent saw, its really unbelievable And i am so glad you have such great skill to build it the way you did, i believe that is an extremely valuable ability to help you with all the hard work there Ill always be praying for you and everyone there and your animals too I hope you have a real nice dinner later after all that hard work and planning God bless you all there Take care my friend
Thank you kindly my friend! I surely appreciate it. Means a lot to me. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Thank you, buddy! I’m glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for the kind words as always. And thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Your dedication to my channel is important to me. Take care my friend and do come again.
That is right! I have two 046’s, this 461, and an 066. I am the same as you… Just rebuild them and keep on trucking. Thank you for the kind words! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
You are just a jack of all trades, aren't you? Rebuilding a saw! I never took a saw apart except for changing the chain or blade, felt even bold when I replaced the sprocket wheel.
Yessir, it pays to be these days and in this economy with the way timber prices are and the ever rising input costs. I do almost all my own maintenance on all of my stuff. It pays to be able to do things yourself. Pa always told me, “if ya watch your Pennie’s, your dollars will take care of themselves.” Anyway, thank you sir for the kind words and thanks for watching and commenting. Take care my friend and do come again.
So basically "Big John" is soft like Alice and Kate. Have to work them up to be strong. Haha. Stay safe and God bless. Your on my prayers list after my meditation time in the morning before I go to work. Since you pray for us I just wanted you to know I pray for you and your family as well
Haha! Yessir I guess you could say that lol. Nah, I just don’t wanna ruin it if something isn’t quite right. I can break him in easy. Do piston and cylinder inspections before I turn it on up. And then start cutting timber with it. If that makes sense anyway. Thank you sir for the prayers and your dedication to praying for me! That means more than anything anyone could do for me! I surely appreciate it. Thank you very much! And thank you again, for taking time to watch and comment as always. You’re a true jewel my friend! Thank you and do come again, please
Thank you ma’am! Once he has broken in good, I will turn him on up and it’ll run even smoother. Anyway, thank you so much for the kind words and for taking time to watch and comment always. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care and do come again, please.
Nice name! I want to see the mule head on it!! I have a horseshoe nail on the shifter on this old B! I needed a pin to hold a retaining washer for a spring, I didn't have a pin, so I drilled a small hole thru the shifter at the bottom of where the washer is supposed to be, put the nail on my grinder until it went thru where it was supposed to be! I needed a spring for a throttle on a JD 720, what am I'm going to use, I got it, a spring from an ink pen! I needed a spring for a wheel dog, I have an Idea, I took a baby diaper pin, cut the head off, put the bolt thru the loop, got it!
That is awesome! You sound like me… They survivor for sure with very little! Lol. Thank you so much for sharing with me and also the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to comment as always. I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Thank you so much, take care and do come again, please
Yes, this saw would have went in the trash bin if I hadn’t have gotten it. I am always glad to breathe life back into these old saws. It makes me feel good, and I also love the older saws. Plus I get a new saw for about half the price of a new one. And my built saws are a whole lot better than a mew one. In my humble opinion anyway. Thank you for such kind words, and taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please.
Yep, here we were sunday afternoon, me and the recliner and my buddy Zack and his mules. They hit that tree again and shook my whole house and l says, how did they do that from tenn.to gardiner Maine ? Nope l days someone drove into the house. I looked all around couldn't find a thing, telephone rang and another buddy says , did ya feel tha earth quake? The timing was perfect. Tell Kate and Alice their famous the world wide. Love the vids keep them coming. God bless. 16:20
Thank you, sir! I really do appreciate it. That machine has truly been a game changer and a blessing to me. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again, please
Yeah, if you have the market for it. We do not. And it takes too much time. I would rather not fool with either one. But it is a byproduct and has to be dealt with. Pallet for me is a lot easier and quicker thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
@@zachodom7486 ah I got a pretty good market for it I get 250 a cord. I think worth the extra time but I'm young I say give it a few years I be giving up on it
Yeah, that good. I’m getting $0.35 per ft on my pallet wood which is good for this area we’re in. So it works out fair for me right now. And I don’t have to handle it much. I use to do firewood years ago. But not anymore
Judy here from Northern Michigan. Temperature is 61. We like to name our things. My car is the old gray mare. I'm 77 my husband is 78 and suffers from Alzheimer's. I have Essential Thrombosis thesis. A cancer of the red blood cells. Feel free to send lots of prayers our way. We will be married 55 yrs come December 20th.
Ms Judy, I sure will. I’m sorry to hear that, but I will def be praying specifically for you and your husband. I can imagine how difficult that could be at times for sure. Thank you for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Will your tie logs go to the same place your grade logs go And what do they do with your grade . I didn't notice any white oak for staves or have they figured out how to make staves with red oak
Tie logs and pallet wood will go to the same mill. Grade logs will go to a different mill. You can only make stave out of White Oak. And on this job, there is no white Oak. The only grade we will have will be red oak grade. It does pay a little more than an average tie log per foot; but not a whole lot more. Markets right now are really tight! And one has to watch every single penny… thank you for the question! And thank you as always for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
@@thomasneill6858it’ll go into sawn lumber. Different dimensions. The market on red oak grade isn’t as good as say white oak or black walnut. But it’s better than a straight cross tie log if that makes sense. Lot of red oak goes into furniture material and hardwood flooring. Some gets shipped over seas also.
What do ya think about it your sugi chainsaw bar? I have been running them for the 3 or 4 years , I think there worth the extra cost for the quality. But it sure hurts a little more when you have to pay up .
I really like the sugi bars! I have them on all my saws now. Compared to the Stihl light weight bar, they’re cheaper. About $25-30 cheaper. My saws balance really nice with the 25” light weights also. Thanks for the question and also taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please!
That is a good idea, but I don’t have time to process it. And most folks here cut their own. I have offered it free to anyone who would come get it. But no one has ever showed up lol. You can’t hardly give it away here. So that’s why I don’t even try to do anything with it. Sometimes we will clean up tops for the landowner with the skid steer and burn them. But it’s a separate deal from the logging stuff. Thank you again, for taking time to watch and comment!!
They are logs that railroad cross ties will be sewn out of. Thank you for the question. And thank you for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again, please
Not necessarily daily. Just when it needs it. And sometimes it’s quicker than other times lol. Depending on if I hit something such as rocks, metal in a tree, or simply get it in the dirt. If I don’t hit anything or whatnot and just cut timber normally…then I’ll touch it up at the end of the day. If I don’t cut a lot with it, then I’ll just let it go another day. I keep a few chains with me in the woods, and when one gets dinged or whatnot, I’ll swap it out and keep trucking. Then sharpen it when I get home. To save time. Anyway, hope this answers your question. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
Awesome! 😎 always glad to hear from the older hands. I’m sure my day will come when I can no longer work in the woods. Until then, I’ll do my best to be thankful for the opportunity. It’s work sometimes and tiresome. But I am thankful to have the opportunity to do it! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
I do on grade when I can. It just depends on how it works out. If they’re too big, 16’ is too hard for us to handle. If they’re 20-22” type stuff, and I can…I’ll cut em 16’. Fact I just got some out yday. We lose our prime pay if they’re not at 10’. Pay is the same from 10-16’. So it doesn’t pay to cut em longer unless you’re trying to stack footage on the truck, and or save time on bucking saw logs. But again, on the real big stuff…we simply can’t handle it when it gets that big. Because most of our grade are the butt cuts. Uppers are ties. Ties are cut 9’ and 18’. All pallet here is cut 9, 12, and 14’. So that’s most of the reasoning there buddy. Hope it helps answer ya question: and thx for asking! Thanks also for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
My kinda folk right here…up in eastern Ky here. Ol saw sounds good and once you get few miles on her man turn some screws in and let er eat. I’ve got a 394 rich the chainsaw guy done 10yrs ago that’s meanern a snake…🫲Matt
Hey Matt! Good to hear from you buddy. And yes sir you seem like my kind of people too! The old 394s were some pretty good saws. I used to have a couple of them and a couple of 372s. All of our Husqvarna dealers went out of business around here. I have had Stihl and also Husqvarna over the years. I just held onto the Stihl’s I guess.

I started logging in the early 60s.too old now to do it anymore.
Awesome! 😎 always glad to hear from the older hands. I’m sure my day will come when I can no longer work in the woods. Until then, I’ll do my best to be thankful for the opportunity. It’s work sometimes and tiresome. But I am thankful to have the opportunity to do it! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
How come you dont cut logs at 16 ft. ?
I do on grade when I can. It just depends on how it works out. If they’re too big, 16’ is too hard for us to handle. If they’re 20-22” type stuff, and I can…I’ll cut em 16’. Fact I just got some out yday. We lose our prime pay if they’re not at 10’. Pay is the same from 10-16’. So it doesn’t pay to cut em longer unless you’re trying to stack footage on the truck, and or save time on bucking saw logs. But again, on the real big stuff…we simply can’t handle it when it gets that big. Because most of our grade are the butt cuts. Uppers are ties. Ties are cut 9’ and 18’. All pallet here is cut 9, 12, and 14’. So that’s most of the reasoning there buddy. Hope it helps answer ya question: and thx for asking! Thanks also for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
What is a tie
A tie log that I am referring to is used to make cross ties for the railroad. It is usually cut like 8x10x9’ long at the mill.
My kinda folk right here…up in eastern Ky here. Ol saw sounds good and once you get few miles on her man turn some screws in and let er eat. I’ve got a 394 rich the chainsaw guy done 10yrs ago that’s meanern a snake…🫲Matt
Hey Matt! Good to hear from you buddy. And yes sir you seem like my kind of people too! The old 394s were some pretty good saws. I used to have a couple of them and a couple of 372s. All of our Husqvarna dealers went out of business around here. I have had Stihl and also Husqvarna over the years. I just held onto the Stihl’s I guess. Anyway, thanks for taking time to watch and comment my friend. And thank you for the kind words. Take care and do come again, please
