well done

Brad ~ maybe more "All hands on Deck" once a month would help implement the plan? Keith

safety glasses? seems like with your face so close to the split you need them

Excellent thank you. I'm starting to cut firewood, hopefully make a business out of it. I have around 100 acres at my disposal. Alot of popal but all other kinds also.

It’s such a pleasure to work with a good crew.

Deader than a doornail. White ash?

Now that's a load of bundle wood

Nice seat from the grapple truck!

Frreeee poison. iiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvyy

what size shoe do you wear

Not your first rodeo, i can tell. Your left leg didn't hit the clutch once. Nice going, driver. Jett. Much respect.

Hi Brad you always amazed me with your posts. Hope the kids and good.lady are doing fine. Your looking as if you have slimmed down a bit in a very good way lots of love from over the pond

Chris, has said on his channel, less touching of the wood is better. He has shown big piles do dry well. I think you will save time and time is money. Good luck with that idea.

Great video. I bought four of them, but haven't used them yet. Pretty much only for SHTF. I'm concerned because some folks on amazon, are saying that the panel loses 50% power after like 8 months-1 year. Have you noticed a huge drop off in power?

Good Morning Brad I know I'm late to the party, but as one of your original followers, I just wanted to say good luck with the changes. New adventures are full of stops and starts, and forks in the road. This is just one of them. Keep up the good work.

My take is, and as seen on In The Wood Yard with Chris, the bin idea works. From the looks of your Woodyard Brad, it would work for you as well. Wide open on all sides for air flow as well as sun time, meaning the sun can get all sides of the bin most all of the day. Less time stacking, same if not better results in terms of drying the wood. Definitely more value in smaller quantities of wood, per Ohio Wood Burner (Joe) has proven as well, value added. With all that being said, do what works for you and don’t be afraid to try new ideas or concepts, see what works and doesn’t work. You will never know if you don’t try. Awesome video and definitely words of wisdom from facts of life and growth. Keep the great videos coming but more importantly make the most time for family. 👍🏻👍🏻

hi there well done john

Might need to start looking for a bigger firewood yard close by so u can pile everything in cone bins. My setup hasn't changed in 4 yrs I stack roughly 100 facecords of firewood twice per year. Tposts every 8ft with pallets on the ground 200ft long at least I stack 6-10 wide rows the whole length. I refill empty spots as I sell the driest firewood 1st . Then I have a big cone of boilerwood and short splits on 10 10x10ft pallets and just pile up a man of boilerwood to sell come fall. I have people stop by they can pick up campfirewood out of the cone pile for $80 / facecord. I cut and split over 120 full cords a year and keep doing more every year by myself. Gotta adapt ways to do more volume and making cones saves alot of time. I have several people who get 6 -10 full cords every year just of boilerwood. The more you make the more u can sell. Working all year for hardly any income spring thru summer just to have good pay days come fall. Firewood is like investing but with endless exercise and physical work. Takes months to 1.5yrs to finally get paid for that facecord but eventually it all sells and the cycle continues. Dead dry pine can be turned over alot faster when u make bundles. Hard to have consistent cash flow throughout the year. That's why I want to build a kiln and market bundles more to campgrounds and campers around me in bulk. Over 25 campgrounds within 1 hr of me. A bigger woodyard would help u grow substantially

Where's the seat belt?

Awesome and thanx for the inspiration.

whats the trans 8LL ?

Don’t see a seatbelt unless it’s a lap belt ,just saying

I want that crane

Is that a rope on that crane

Rain … have you ever had a banker call you up and say don’t bother paying today it’s raining

Trucking’, got my chips cashed in! 👍🏻

Sounds like a good idea to me Brad! Not stacking my totes anymore was the best thing I did from a production standpoint.

Been rethinking a new direction for life/firewood business too. Haven't been having much fun with it lately. So am probably switching to mobile splitting jobs and then worry about building inventory. Want to get to the point where I can take a day or two off work to do tree service wood dumps. Already this year, I've almost gotten nearly as much wood as all of last year. If only had the funds to have two splitters. For now, choices need to be made to make life easier now and more fun in the days to come.

Sounds like a good plan

Firewood can season better in piles and piles save a lot of time and effort.

Good to see this. However, I live in the UK. We don't have measurements like that here. A cord of firewood there is like a pint of beer here. Glass full, if not it is not a full pint. Here firewood is by the dump trailer or the builders bag. £70 for a builders bag of ash. In all honesty, 2 builders bags don't evaluate to even a full face cord. I try to cut and split my own firewood, but when I need to buy, I look at USA and realize how much more you get there for your money. What do you charge for a full cord? I have a friend who has a wood burner who simply buys wood from the supermarket. He has gas central heating in the house also. He likes to keep the wood fire going through winter because he likes the heat better than from the radiators. Just burning 3-4 hours every evening. He told me he has spent £2000 on kiln dried firewood this year! Plus kindling! I was shocked. A small amount of searching, chainsaw bucking and splitting only takes a few days a year for me, and sometimes I buy a bit, like £200 for 2 or 3 builders bags to help fill my woodstore, but spending so much on a small amount of firewood seems unproductive.

People get confused for my rigs as well. I’m hoping one day to actually have one the whole family can work under. Nice truck man.

Hello Brad! I remember that this started as a hobby, and I think you should cut those tasks you enjoy the least honestly, and do more of what you enjoy the most. I'm wondering if making piles of wood will, first of all, keep your full sense of accomplishment you mentioned at the beginning of the video (which makes sense, seeing the firewood stacked is literally a pleasure), and secondly, if it's going to keep the quality and seasonality of the product you offer (because of the room each piece has to breathe basically). My humble opinion would be to do as much as you enjoy doing (even those little things). "Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient" - JP Have a wonderful week my friend!

Chris has changed the game to how we all do firewood now

Totally agree with not stacking. Less handling means more time to do the other things. Enjoy your time with the kids. My oldest just got married and youngest just graduated college. It goes so fast.

Great plan Brad. You are figuring out how to accomplish more in less time. Good for you!

Hey, brother. I think your new ideas make a lot of sense because it'll be Becaueasier and a lot more fun. Chip

Now, with that grapple truck, you have the best opportunity to pick the logs for yourself to maximize production and profits.. but the most important is time management.. scaling back and concentrating on small quantities is probably your best option at this point.. good luck sir

Sounds like you've got it figured out. Carry on.

Smart move to no stack! Better use of your time-

Sounds good. Stacking takes a lot of time, less times you touch the wood the better

F stacking. Only stack at the delivery. Yes I stack some here and hate every time that I do it.

Nice to see you back in the woodyard. I’m not the biggest fan of the multi wedges but that stuff looks like perfect diameter for the 4-way. The Axis is about as good as it gets as far as splitters goes producing the highest quality firewood as possible hence why it’s perfect for bundle grade wood. I’m still very happy with the Ultra as it continues to meet all my needs. #TeamOrangeAndBlue

Sounds like a good plan! It's amazing how we can just keep taking on more and more things to do but eventually something has to give. It can be hard to say no or try to change what you're used to. Good luck to you on making those changes. - Tim

After a lifetime in business self-employed, I have one piece of advice: Do what pays that you enjoy!

id really consider building a 30x50 asphalt pad. save ur money from 1 season of firewood and build it. its a life changer and you have the skid steer already ull be able to scoop and dump right into your trailer and go. takes me less then 5 min to load a cord of wood

Play better music ..it’s 2024 now 🤦🏻‍♂️

#NoStack 😉🔥

I have always stacked like you do. I just recently built an 8X10 ft. bin that holds about 3 cords. I have a family that comes to my cabins every Nov. to deer hunt. They have always rented a u-haul trailer to bring their firewood down. When I found out what it was costing them, I offered to sell them wood for the same price, and they wouldn't have to haul. the bin is for them. They stay 12 days a bow hunt and there are 4 families. It is working great and is so easy to put the wood away. 3 weeks before they arrive, I am going to cover the bin top. I think you will be amazed at how much easier it will be to put up wood. I don't think I would put down 2 layers of pallets. Put down black plastic as a moisture barrier to keep the pallets from absorbing water.
