Very dangerous tree removal | tornado devastation in Amory Mississippi

[@paulcousins1168]

It was a treat to watch professional people work in a safe and mathodical way well done.

[@kb12689]

Good thing those trees were there. They protected that rickety old shack of a house from getting blown down.

[@rebeccaocker4506]

I'am 82 an back when my son cut down trees for a company in Maryland they didn't have all that good stuff to help them god bless you all

[@carlmorgan8452]

Looks like cheating, 😊

[@BL-jt3qt]

A perfect example of having all of the right tools and equipment and the experience to get the job done safely.

@@user-nx8vp5sy5d Are you saying that you know what the charge was to cut down the tree?

[@rickharper1497]

I have a childhood friend that lives just outside of Amory, Mississippi and also works for the local fire and rescue and her church was gutted buy that tornado! Your one of my favorite people, be extra careful!!

[@cotontop3]

Thank you

[@terrypomatto907]

There was a lot of weight on the top end of that tree. I am happy that you folks was able to process that tree without damaging the house. That is why I feel addressing tree removal should be left to the professionals. Thank you for sharing your work with us, I enjoy watching you work.

[@cotontop3]

Yes, thank you

So sorry about that terrible tornado. So glad that your company is there to help and not charge too much to clean the messes. God bless you and your company.

The precision between all parties involved in the project was impressive indeed. Great video. You Guys are doing your trades proud.

[@jpol3808]

@thylacin1962 I agree they were extremely professional and very well coordinated. I just hope they were insured.... Which they probably were. Here's just some food for thought. What I was amazed and puzzled about.... With a totally accessable and open yard all the way around the house..., do you know how much it would have cost to repair that home once the inspectors get involved, if one of those large sections of trunk would have slipped the claw and crashed through the roof of that house! With all their professionalism, I will never understand why site managers take unnecessary risks, like swinging the logs directly over the house! Many of those sections that were cut had not a single branch sticking out of the trunk to catch on if it started to slip out of the claw. I understand the tree was leaning over the house, but the direction for the claw to move cuttings away should have been the shortest distance to the edge of the house. Drop them in the back yard and have a skid steer with forks transfer the logs to the front for loading. You know I'm not trying to beat on anyone because that was an extremely complicated and delicate tree removal, with many other factors involved like.... Tip over factor, and what's going to be inline with it, if it does tip while being cut, amongst other things. It was a great job overall. But just think about the damage and headache it would have caused if a log had slipped it's bark and dropped through that roof into that home. Oh my word and I sure hope there was no one allowed to be inside while you were doing it..... That would have been a real catastrophy had someone inside gotten killed from an accident. Or would it be considered negligence? You escaped Murphy's law this time... But will you let him keep following you from Job to job. That's the big question. Have a great day everyone! Remember: Safety Is Job One!

[@Silverado21]

My hats off to you guys and ladies if any. You simply have to have 100% no fear of open heights like that and work with heavy tools.

[@Poppi2006]

When I was at MSU (‘61-65), one of my classmates was from Amory. Since he commuted, I knew it wasn’t far. I remember you working near my old home territory near Ellisville after another tornado hit. Thanks for the video. Your girls must be all grown now. Stay safe.

[@wendymorrison5803]

Thank you for taking on these sketchy leaning trees. I understand the dangers to your life. And others. I caught myself holding my breath a lot watching.

[@tigercat73]

Great job Tim. I bet those first few cuts the pucker factor was maxed out with how bad the lean was. Those people were very blessed!!

Yeah not knowing exactly how the tree was going to react at first

The tree had a heavy top, but you guys managed to remove it without hurting the house. This shows why tree removal is best done by professionals. Thanks for letting me watch you work; I found it interesting

[@bobcriss600]

Tim, you and Chris from LD18 are a couple of my favorite channels to watch! I must admit, I was sitting in my office chair that I recently made a new base for it (raising the seat about 26 inches above the floor, and watching you shake to and fro in the wind had me feeling a bit seasick!

[@topshelf321]

Nice work. That was a very precarious tree. Good for the homeowner but sometimes it's easier and safer for us if they would go on over. Only thing I would have been concerned about would have been the stem standing back up straight and hitting you when taking the tops. Glad it all went well and that's awesome of you to help out, I'm sure they are very thankful. We had one over by me (Sav. GA) last year. I spent several day out with my equipment cleaning and it looked like vultures swarming trying to make money off the people. And I'm talking house's flatten to the slab. I don't know how some people live with themselves and sleep at night.

[@wandamorris780]

Thank you for helping these people.

So, the guy needs a new tree, but his wife gets to keep the same old kitchen. Good deal, great work. You guys make a great team.

[@donaldredline975]

😮 interesting operation. I really like that arm that grabbed all the pieces.

[@DogSoldier0351]

Good work.only safety issue was guyvin bucket with no lanyard on the saw.

[@71160000]

Years ago I lived in a home with power lines running across the back of the property. There was a tree leaning over the power lines that looked like it was going to fall at any minute. So I called the power company to inform them about it. Their reply was if it started to fall give them a call and they'd deal with it. I kept visualizing the tree falling in such extreme slow motion that they could get there before it took out power to all the other homes nearby.

[@hydraulic-hum]

nice video Tim, that sure was a huge pine to take down, was great to watch the grapple take away the big pieces you cut.. thanks

[@MAGAman-uy7wh]

I had this done to an 40 foot pine and a 5 foot diameter Maple tree 15 feet from my house. The equipment was a little different. The jaws had a built in saw so they could grab, cut below the grabber, and then lower the section down to the ground without a man in a bucket for most of the maple, the bucket man also cut the branches from the pine before the jaw machine sectioned the trunk. Amazing to watch, they were done in less than 2 hours.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Fascinating! I wonder if when the trees were planted if it was the intention to fell them for use PRIOR to them becoming very mature trees? Good job and interaction between you and the chap with the claw lift.

[@wubuck79]

I don’t know about these particular trees, but I live in Amory and large pines this size are very common here. Throughout the whole region, really. My guess is that they were just immature during the time that logging was a big industry here, so they weren’t harvested, and grew to this size.

Agreed with the slow and steady, bigger pieces just mean more risk with holding and you don't want any pieces falling on the house roof....

You guys in the US have some amazing equipment to deal with trees. Never seen anything like it in the UK. I wonder though why anyone would plant a tree so close to the house,(or build a house so close to a tree!) especially in a tornado zone given the fragility of the houses.
