Big Dead Tree Removal On The House Lot

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

The work is done nicely. I wish you and all viewers an excellent weekend!

[@danielelwell2571]

I find it fascinating the way you fold those trees up.

[@johnblecker4206]

On medium trees I bet Chris is one of the fastest on KZbin somehow he grabs snaps, shakes and throws the trees with his machine never stopping.

[@ibk792]

Love the cleanup with the log. Work smarter not harder!!!! Great job as always.

[@rich7331]

I wish you were in my area. I would love to hire you. The quality and care of your work is on a completely different level than everyone else.

[@dougmay8924]

Excellent Time spent AGAIN 👌 😊!What a life!!!Thanks again for all you do! Continue on my friend,,,LETS DIG!!!LOVE TO YOU!

[@barrykulmom]

Could you imagine the bleachers set up of us watching on your job sites. Thanks for letting us watch this way.

Logger Wade who?🤣 Big Deal 18 to the rescue! Good job driver a man of many tallents!

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

That soft soil down south looks like a dream to dig in. Up here in New England it's a constant battle with the boulders/rock-ledge. You definitely make it look easy!

[@cathiwim]

But don’t work it when its wet! It turns into brick, literally!

[@Mike7478F]

Lovely use of tools and other items to scrape up, very effective too!! Thanks Chris. Miastro at work!!

[@tedc.4956]

The log-squeegee idea is brilliant. 20:47 This definitely ain't your first rodeo. I laugh every time you talk to the trees telling them where to go. 25:38 It works! Great video. Thank you.

[@K7DFA]

@Ted C. : The "log-squeegee" is merely a slight modification of the "mat-scraper" that we've often seen Chris use while dredging ponds.

[@tedc.4956]

@@K7DFA oh how astute! The shapes of the cylindrical log and the rectangular mats absolutely through me off. How could one ever have the keen imagination to determine the two are connected thus not worthy of a comment? Merely genius of you.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Excellent job Chris. Some big old trees there. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰

I don't know what it is...but since I retired...I find it very relaxing watching other people working ✌💯👍🤣

I can relate to that. I'm almost 75, have retired 2 times from different careers, and helped my daughter start a business in 2002. I still go in a couple of mornings each week to check on the equipment and to get out of the house.

Looks great Chris 🇺🇲 I really enjoyed the cleaning up I learned something new today

[@74_Green]

Good to see you and Uncle John are both wearing the OSHA certified safety jeans whilst using the saw 😉😁

[@CanandianPeriod]

funny how safety regulations vary. In Ontario Canada where I live you must take a chainsaw safety course, wear safety glasses, hardhat with hearing protection and a face shield. Also Ballistic gloves. pants and safety boots. I understand why I friend of mine lost a eye from a wood chip thrown by a chainsaw.

Chris, while you were digging on the fourth side of that red oak I was thinking "do trees ever decide to come down on their own at this stage" and right away you explained why you were keeping an eye on the tree while you dig around them for that very reason. That felt really weird . . . 🙂

[@kenaston4220]

I was at the same place at the same moment! I noted how Chris normally leaves the front and back root areas alone, so it can only hinge sideways, presumably to stop them falling on to him.

[@kennethhume8628]

I don’t know why but I always listening for you to say “Timber” every time you drop a tree , I’m sure I’m not the only one . 👍👍🇬🇧

[@kens.3729]

One thing you are is Careful with Everything above and around you. That’s what Skilled Professionals do. 😬👍

[@pinwizz69]

Yuppers, another fine video from Chris to end my evening on KZbin. It's incredible how he makes those trees fall exactly where he needs them to. It's nice how he explains how and why he uses different techniques to do it. I'm pretty sure tomorrow's vid will be Chris moving more pond muck we subs should be thankful there's no such thing as Smell O Vision. From my memory pond and swamp muck is almost as bad as ceptic tank muck. I don't know how Chris handles that smell.

[@wendellalleyne1280]

Chris, I like your environmentally friendly root rake... aka log drag.... lol . Now that's going green

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have a good day.

[@kinagray8056]

Aloha Chris, I watch all your videos and have absolutely loved seeing you scape huge amounts of mud but watching you tonight rake the ground with a log to clean up, then drop it like a microphone 🎤 is my favorite! Mahalo! 🤣🤗🥰

[@robbledot7290]

As a professional tree man I will admit you did the damn thing. I could nit pick your backcuts but it didn’t affect the end result! Job well done as always

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Those oak lot squeegees are great. Really get the job done.

[@JoelHershberger]

Chris, that was a major mistake on the last tree. You forgot to say "Timber!" and then even worse you forgot to say that you forgot to say "Timber!". LOL I love your videos. Thanks so much for supplying so much great content!!

[@hughjass4995]

Did anyone else notice the first tree Chris took down, when he was filling in the root hole and cleaning up debris, he was not even watching his bucket...now that is a true operator..didnt miss a beat

[@tomrogers9467]

We’re all sitting comfy in our LazyBoys thinking “wouldn’t it be fun to operate those toys Chris has”. I just spent 3 hours in a rental skid steer working on a driveway grading job. They are a lot harder to be proficient in than it appears. They are also hot, noisy and stinky! Maybe it’s not nearly as fun as it appears if you have to do it 40 hrs. a week. Still have another 5 or so hours to finish up. Then I’ll be happy to sit back and continue to enjoy the Pro!

[@TimTatum78]

They only stinky noisy and hot cause past renters didnt take care of the equipment. When you pay that much for a peice of equipment then ya keep it emaculent like chris does. Repect the equipment and it will last ya a long time.

[@craigwavra3495]

Nice job dropping that dead oak. Landed right where you wanted. Quick cleanup leads to the next project. Back to the mud!!

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

Great job Chris. Using the log like a squeegee is next best thing to the dozer.

[@powerbuilder0510]

when your clearing good trees like those, you should save a few decent ones to make mats out of. or get someone else to make them from what you supply them with.

[@terrypomatto907]

Wise decision of sawing down the dead tree, better safe than sorry in the end. One thing for sure is that is not your first Rodeo, Chris and John make a good team!!! The root balls don't look that big till you set one next to the dump truck..

[@andrew3066]

You must love your job. I worked on my grandad's farm for years in England with a 2011 Volvo ec27e and I loved it! I would love your job haha!!

[@louisroman7134]

[@jonnooney7102]

I always put the bucket up next to the tree over my head for protection from falling limbs and saw cut then nudged with machine just enough to get it moving. Always worked out well for us and seemed to be the safest way to get them down. Never want to get the top whipping back and forth on dead ones. Seen too many break in half and fall where not intended.

[@glennspreeman1634]

nice win on the double stumps!!

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk chris👋👍 getting the chainsaw warmed up again on this job 👌 and good job getting done before the volvo threw the old I need help message😤 always def with them inc kamatsu why o why🤔 but good job 👌 and I always know why you keep eye on tree ! The one job goin back a minute or 2 when you where behind houses and guy next door was busy chopping few trees down and said ""could you do ms a favour please ?"" So chris obliged and favour bit you and caught I think guttering on way down ( NO MORE FAVOURS ) must of spun on a root or summit lol but hey you still my magic man with the volvo wand ded or no def lol 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon 👍👋

[@reedburke7762]

I like the log sweeping trick, nice improvement too! I watched one of those Dirt Guys find an old mattress and used it similarly. It did fairly well, but making up the bed again might be difficult! And no, it was not a waterbed, I think it was a Sealy.

[@timziegler9358]

I think that you need to patent that blade idea. Between removing the sludge from the pond to the property lot cleanup it looks like there could be development for a quick attachment blade for the excavator! Best wishes.

Good drop job,,,Chris playing Logger Wayde. That red clay sand is definately NOT sand-mud like in the pond. Oh good, log squeege action, the only way the 160 can pretend to be a dozer.

[@C10sRule]

Something tells me this new 160 the family company had is pretty d*mn nice to run! It sure is quiet. With every still new and tight it’s a smooth machine too!! I don’t think it has too much issue with power quite like the older one you had either. Sometimes the sheer anmount of time you save with a newer machine can almost pay for 1/2 of it!! The rest is up to the bidding and operator!! Hahaha. It seems it’s lighter than it is is strong!! Often the case with the new equipment though. Not a bad issue to have. Looking forward to what’s next!! I’ll be watching it right after this!!, had a busy couple of days with some medical treatments!! We all are getting older,,,,, PLEASE, EVERYONE, take care of your backs!!! I wish I had done a few things differently,,,,.

[@keithhoward2781]

Hi Chris just a question you were mentioning in previous videos the conditions of your mats. I was wondering as you are clearing house lot why not use the trees to construct your own mats? I would bet you know someone who has a portable sawmill where you could generate the lumber you need. Just a thought could be more time required than you have available. Great videos love to watch a true operator work!

[@kenaston4220]

Chris did explain in an earlier video that its a tedious job boring long 2" holes in the timber to bolt them together. It is usually best to do the work that you get paid best for and then pay someone else to do the job that they are efficient at.
