A nice and professional job done August, I can see that you have a passion for trees. What is so sad for all old trees is that they cannot move anywhere and are at the mercy of anybody with a chainsaw and in this case the tree was there first so it was good that the home owners didn't take it out but lightened it's load so it could live longer. I highly recommend a book that changed my views on farming and managing nature called 'Wilding'. it's written by an English lady with a name I'd like called Isabella Tree, I have even met her and seen one of her talks and at the moment she's travelling around the US, so go and see a talk if you can. She and her husband Charlie have a dairy farm of about 3,500 hectares in Sussex, England and by pure luck decided to quit farming in about 2000 just before the foot & mouth disease that nearly wiped out Britain's dairy farm industry. They sold all their farming equipment and dairy herd and left their land to look after itself with ponies, beaver, pigs, deer and long-horned cattle to do most of the land management. 20 years on their efforts have been rewarded and the results can be seen at the Knepp Farm Estate where they do safari's and wedding events. Their book has an entire chapter about trees which has some amazing facts about trees which you may or may not know. They are also lucky to have some very ancient Oak trees and the facts and anecdotes that she write about those trees are really cool especially the symbiotic relationship that they have with a member of the Corvid family, the Jay. Oak trees will actually put down branches to the ground so that they can help support their own weight. Unfortunately because we humans have an idealised view of how trees should look the trees that grow in the urban environment usually have these limbs chopped off. In the UK there are about 8 to 900 or so of these really ancient (500 years plus) beauties and in the whole of Europe there are about 1,200 of them. Anyway, keep up the good work and video's and just in case you want to know more about sustainable buildings using cob, lime mortars/plasters or even straw-bale structure then please contact me here on KZbin and I'll do what I can to answer you, I don't advertise as all my work is by word of mouth. Also I get no money from talking about Isabella's book or the Knepp estate, I do it because the whole world should do this, rewilding would probably help to save our planet, it would certainly help to stop all the flooding that happens.

We had a large Oak with 3 Trunks. It was over 15' in circumference, 4' off the ground. The Canopy spanned 97'. Some people suggested cabling it for added strength. The center of the trunks had a deep bowl that water would get into and sit. There was a crack that started at bowl and went down between trunks. We knew it would go some day. We had a rope swing on it for years. Luckly it sat 120 yards behind house. One breezy day 3 years after seeing the crack it split into 3rds. No words could describe the sadness I felt. I knew we were not the only ones that enjoyed it. The kids had found an old coin from the mid 1700's under the tree, prior to it coming down.

My father was a land surveyor so when he said it was 192 feet drip edge to drip edge I believe it. And after he retired, during an exceptionally productive year he actually weighed the acorns he raked up. 11,750 pounds of acorns! And it never had any significant branch break off in 58 years.

I don’t know. That was the craziest swinging I ever saw by an arborist. In the neighborhood where we live there are many very tall (70’) tall trees. Often storm damaged and taken down for safety and damage prevention. But the crane is above the limb to be cut with a slight tension. And they have very minimal movement once cut and then are lowered gently. Not this wild swinging which appears very dangerous to people working equipment and surrounding structures. That didn’t even look like a cable. It looked like a rope. They have cranes with cables and then use wide and long nylon straps to secure the limb. Straps like you use in a shop to move heavy equipment. Looked pretty sketchy to me TBH.

This might sound silly. I was a bucket man for years. But, why paint the boom black? certain paint colors (black) contain metal pigment. Like iron oxide which could compromise the dielectric (insulation) value if by chance you came near or contacted a tree that was touching electrical lines. Plus it makes it harder to see in a tree. Just an observation. We used power wash our booms,inside and out, because of saw dust and oils could make it conductive.

Their "trimming" was doubtless the problem. Canopy elevations and lion tailing branches every time that they begin to re-establish interior growth is why trees like that fall apart. Proper pruning is difficult, which is why not many of us do it. Some calculated structural pruning for a couple of decades prior would have made failures like that one very rare indeed.

Would it have been a viable ideea to strap or chain the trunk, as a first emergency measure, so it woudnt split anymore untill you would cut it?
@krap1014 жыл бұрын
I would have ratchet strapped it... But I also would have pruned it before endangering my most valuable asset

The gopro can be a great informative tool.... I had issues with my groundie running my ropes, ever since we switched to a bollard. I put a gopro on his head & after watching footage I realized he was actually hooking it up wrong. Its difficult to know what's happening on the ground when you are in the tree, but the ability to veiw footage after work has helped me MANY times. Great job & good edit! STAY SAFE #AdamIsABigDude😂

You teach them to do it watch them do it multiple times in a simulated situation until you’re confident they can do it way to many people half adding teaching it’s sad

How weirdly random this just came up in my suggested feed, lol. I'm Chaplan's mom...I noticed the last name first and then I was like oh...that's her uncle Gus. You sound just like Grant. What a crazy job you have. We never met, but I ate some of your blackberries last year when I was waiting for Chaplan to get her stuff. Oregon blackberries are the best. Don't forget to enjoy them😊

Just wondering how much the bill is for a job like this
@Stettafire4 жыл бұрын
In the UK a job that like that would be 2k, more then likely over 3k. My best guess would be 4k-4.5k. Baring in mind wagers are lower in the UK then the US, so even ignoring exchange rates that's probably equivalent to about 6 or 7k US.

Great to see arborist do a- DANGEROUS EMERGENCY -removal the right way, clove w/a half hitch a bita holding hinge and let it run to the ground right on the pile by the chipper.Glad you could bring bucket boom on and not have to climb it.I call hacks that can't climb yet and only use a bucket a "bucket baby".It should have been cabled and trimed away from the home and overall conopy lightend decades ago.

Boom truck is super nice. When I was 30 years younger, we climbed up there. The good ol days...🥴

Most of them do still climb the trees. A boom lift is slow as hell and you can't get them into most places because they're way too big.

I have a silver maple at home pretty much the same size as this tree shown in video. Being aware that those branches are the size of other trees, how much does it cost to take off just one main branch?

We live in the woods. Our trees are 7-12 feet in diameter and 75 to 100 feet tall. Several times we have had to cut trees. We had to clear the street of trees and our lot. My husband and my Dad did all that work. Dad passed and hubby is now in his 80s. No more cutting down trees for him. We call in expert tree guys now. So I am familiar with all this. Nice to see it from the cutters view.
