Some videos from today cutting firewood

[fireman33]

I went to the woods this morning to cut some firewood. Saw is a redmax G5300 stock. Wood species were white birch in the videos but i also fell a few red maple and yellow birch.

Nice vids man, nothing better than felling some timber! What do you use to transport your logs or do you split them on site?

I use an old dave brown tractor with a home made power trailer that my father in law made 25 years ago with a manual transmission and a 5 ton axle. Not very good looking but i can fit about a cord and a half on her.

NICE! Hey, does that trailer have drive fromm the tractor PTO? I saw the chains and thought WTF? Then brain started to engage.... BTW nice work on videos cool how you were centered up the whole way through esp. vid#1

I like the stick attached to the saw to give you a length measurement. Why can't the saw manufacturers make a fitting on the handle for a dowel. Nice job and thanks for sharing the videos.

Yes it does work off the pto on the tractor, just have to make sure the gear on the tractor matches the gear on the transmission off the trailor or else it can get dangerous if the trailor try to push the tractor or the tractor tries to drag the trailor LOL.

I know many who use zip tie's attached to the rear. Cheap ingenuity that can easily be adapted to any length one needs.

I can see where that could get a bit dicey at times.
