To me it’s crazy that you can’t do what you want with your own land

[@CaptainRon13]

You say that, until some A/H moves in next door a plants 10 acres of pot.

Don't rly have to worry bout that in northern Canada. If I wanna remove any tree doy driveway or anything I don't need permission and nvr will ask for it if it comes in effect lol.

[@anthonycash4609]

What is it with the neighbor thinking she has any say so over property she does not own. This is not the first time ive seen you have to deal with Karens when there openion is not wanted not needed and holds no weight what so ever. Knock on wood out here on the east coast i have not had to deal with people that dont own the property. Good job it looks good opened up.

That Mecalac seems like such a good investment! It does so many things very well!! And the CAD designed cage on the cab, It could have prevented a bad thing at least once! Worth every $$!! It's too bad about people like the 'neighbor. They may have good intentions, but they have to be such jerks about it. You guys do such a good job, and they still give you a hard time.. Everyone deserves the benefit of doubt first. Very cool, and well done, thanks for the video Sam!! 8) Peace --gary

Lol ole boy needed to just stay in his county provided car, and then call the cops on here for harassing you. I mean honestly, you have how much money in equipment over there? Don't look like a slacker operation to me. These people like this suck.

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

Only in California could something like this happen. It’s my property and my trees, and it’s no one’s business, not even the city government. I don’t understand why people continue to vote for politicians who support these unreasonable regulations.

[@VBELTandSON]

Literally had nothing to do with politics. Everything we did was completely fine. Only restrictions was save the nice big trees which is understandable. Goofy neighbors are everywhere don’t tell me they aren’t

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

​@@VBELTandSON You shouldn't need any approval or permits for this type of work unless it's for commercial city projects. These unnecessary regulations are the result of government officials elected by the people. Yes, there are always those who complain, but they hold no power since there are no city regulations for them to enforce. All they can do is voice their opinions and move on-it's not their property, and it's none of their business.

[@VBELTandSON]

We didn’t need any permission. Sometimes ppl are misinformed. Simple stated the facts and the rules and on their way.

It always fascinates me when people inject themselves into other people's business...😂

[@jbcowherder6210]

honestly, don't know why anyone would put in a vineyard these days. the market is oversaturated w/grapes and many growers are leaving fruit rotting on the vine as it costs more to harvest and throw it away than it can be sold for. but clearing for fire and to thin out trees is much needed. a properly managed forest is a healthy forest. FWIW: you can cut down oaks if you're clearing for grazing land.

[@tiptoplandsolutions1421]

They sent it to Thermo King. All is well now. Just took forever. I was initially for about a year and a half talking directly with the manufacturer and they what I feel just leading me on.. But when I told the dealer and showed him all the saved communication I had with them, they use that against the manufacturer a little so my repair was expedited finally.... I wish my dealer wasn't so far away all the way at North Carolina. So I was trying to bypass them I guess I shouldn't have..

We have both stihl and husky battery saws for the smaller jobs.
