Yeah I hate ivy! lol but not as much as wisteria! 😂

The 400 is CRAZY for its size! Also got the muffler mod from west coast saw!

Thank you! I work for Haskins Tree Care out of carnation. What company do you work for?

@@okayestclimberthats a beautiful area up there. I've been production logging for the last year for Dutchman logging. Before that I climbed for landmark tree care and owned my own business for a while a well.

Ripper!!

Not in Washington they grow like weeds! And they were too big for the spot they were in. They were causing damage to the house

@@okayestclimber nice. Did you get some good wood out of it? Or is it firewood?

Yeah I did on another one on the other side of the house that was REALLY close! but we had about 8-10 feet of clearance.. looked closer in the video forsure though

The crane operator told me on the intercom’s what it weighed

Hell yeah!! 😂

@@okayestclimber 🎹🎶 🪓 😆

The operator told me he was good for 6000Lb’s at the radius he was at

Truth! 🤙

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks buddy but I couldn’t have asked for smoother picks! That was all you!!

@@okayestclimber We make a good team my guy.

Hell yeah we do!! 🤙💪

Thanks!🙏

Thanks! Make sure you subscribe I’ll keep posting every week!

😂😂😂

Thanks

5 people including myself

Hahaha there’s a time and a place for big tops! 90% of the time though a small top is better!

I haven’t tried a v cut yet I usually just cut straight through

I’ll have to give it a try next time we use a crane

@@okayestclimber Called a "Deep V", once cut, the pick will stay in place until YOU are ready. (saw put away/positioning). Always cut the lean side first, so when you make the second cut you won't pinch your bar. Then simply radio your operator. The FIRST command will be "UP", and then every other command is what you're used to. Have him "pick -up" slightly, you'll THEN know which way the section wants to go, BUT, the section will STAY in place. If balanced right, the pick will simply float UP. ~Best

Thanks man! Yeah we were there for 4 days and had a few other trees that needed pruning.

Yeah we have the cena intercoms. Thanks! 🙏

Yeah I wasn’t too worried because I realized there was a third trunk there at some point in the past that had broken off and that’s why the rot was there. And also I checked the rest of the trunk and the other 90% was solid! And yes the plywood is bad right now. At the end of winter it’s soaked and muddy and the 3/4” feels like it’s 80 pounds! Lol

@@okayestclimber Using the plywood is a pain most crew- leader's ignore. Using them always sets you apart from the rest, and THAT good impression with the customer leads to new referrals! (YOU know the drill...) ~Best

Yeah they get gnarly! Thanks! 🤙

@@okayestclimber Subbed ya'. When you don't get riled up over bullshit on the job site, and STILL find a way to fix things, I want cats like your crew on my team for sure.

Yeah… definitely my fault.. I’m the crew lead! 🤦‍♂️

Still got it done though and we were pulling out of there at noon!

@@okayestclimber Lol, even when the customer is looking up at you from her kitchen, Lol! (True story)

@@okayestclimber Well, you were dropping office buildings, I would hope so.

Yeah.. we should have brought our SRT gear. We do removals almost daily. We have SRT gear but don’t keep it on the truck unless we know we’re going to be pruning a big tree without spurs. Would have saved a lot of time and energy though forsure!

Yeah SRT would have worked great in this tree..

We talked about it for a minute then I just threw on the spurs and headed up lol

Yeah it yanked him forward about 10 feet all the way to the portawrap! Could have been bad but luckily he was ok!

@@okayestclimber ya, I've made that mistake too.

Thanks brother! 🤙

Thanks! ☺️

I have yet to climb a tree with poison oak in it. But I've heard its BAD!! I'm not even sure I've ever seen a tree with it where I live, in Washington state.

@@okayestclimber Really? You must be too far north because there's a variety in the Willamette valley that grows like vines up trees that sometimes gets vine stocks up to 2-3" thick that bush all the way along the trunk way up into the trees like that Ivy was. I grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains, and just like the Redwoods and Emerald Triangle the poison oak vines in some of the trees are huge and get vines 3-4" thick that look like trees on the tree. I've got poison oak before from splitting firewood a year after the dam rounds were bucked up because the tree had had poison oak vines and the rounds had been under cover and remained dry. I will say that it looks really cook in the fall and trees that normally wouldn't look very colorful are lit up with colors from yellow to red.

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

Yeah the big cottonwoods are different!! lol.. yeah then you add the ivy and it gets really gnarly! Thanks!!

😂😂 they’re back on the market!!

😂😂😂

It was a rush forsure!!!

Thanks buddy!

Yeah he did. We were using the GRCS! Supppper smooth!
