Respect August. I can't help but shake my head every time I see you swinging limbs close to the roof. Looks like you've got a great eye for those "sweepers"..... 😎👊❤️🌲 Looks like the crew is growing..... great job and attitude. Keep yourselves safe! Randy

[@Odielman]

Great job! Nothing better than this style of video after a long day of tree work to just relax and sit back. Thanks for all the knowledge and inspiration!

[@kenholland7204]

Awesome job August. Jeff is doing a great job as well. Thanks for sharing. Stay save my friend.

[@Mass_hole508]

The combination of crane and rope work is absolutely amazing! Great job guys! 👍👍👍

"I don't wanna cast a blanket on his longevity,... but yeah, it's gonna outlast him." Nice way of putting it, August.

Jeff has excellent command of his chainsaw, deliberate cuts and anticipation of binding action in the cut. Smooth, efficient and well executed work plan. Love for you guys, stay blessed.

Awesome job! Using the rope to lower it to the crane is simple and effective plus it mitigates swing. Very smooth 👊

[@chichitex1252]

That tree removal was almost unbelievable. Close over the house, dead tree, old man refusal to take out unsightly stump. Great video!

Wow!!!!!!!!! I would of loved to be on site for this removal! I can only imagine how different it would have been in person because I was in awwwwwww for many of the picks. Awesome footage August! Thanks for the video!!

[@flybyairplane3528]

Nice music, some blind picks , some looked so close to the house but got it done , maybe the one growing through the deck later , Cheers man. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@augustreil]

I have that exact antique pruner with the rod and handle, it still works but that handle will wreck you ! What a nice place on that river. Don't think I would want to pay to re-roof that house, wow ! Awesome video August !

[@Maczust63]

Watch for grain runout on those wooden poles. The pole will snap where the grain runs out and create a spear that will fall and kill yea so be carefull.

[@augustreil]

@@Maczust63, Will do. Thanks.

[@shirleyqualls8036]

WOW! Best suspence movie I've ever seen. Is the limb going to fall on the roof? Which way is it going to swing? Will the crane be able to hold the limb to swing it over the house? Excellent job. Had me squirming in my chair.

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

Good call from the customer about the stem. It looked good left as it was in the end and less heavy stress on the crane meantime.

[@edwardjohanbol]

A lot of trust in the other operators when you are the climber. Great team work. Nice one climber dude!

[@jasomkovac9115]

Nice videos. What kind of drone?

[@motor2of7]

Crane work for tree ops scares me. You never know the load until it’s on the hook, and by then it’s too late to do anything about it if it’s too heavy.

[@vipahman]

You always know the load. That's what a good crane operator does. White oak is around 65 lbs / ft3 and that is wet weight. This sucker was drying out.

[@codblkops85]

It's more like you don't know how its distributed until it's on the hook

[@stevejette2329]

[@larryehrlich8702]

Are there any wireless camera & monitors on the market that would allow you to see what is going on? Or can you wire in a 100 foot hand held crane controler that would allow you to stand anywhere?

[@TheByard]

Good job and no casualty's I drove cranes for years way back in 60s, 70s, One was a 60ft tower crane mounted on crawler and in 3hrs would fold down to become a semi trailer, the other great feature was I drove it with control panel slung around my shoulders connected to the machine via an umbilical cord. We used it to build 4 story precast concrete panel and floors apartments, with the remote control I could watch the pick off trucks and then walk to the landing site. Each panel had to land in an exact position so I could be right beside it a land MM exact, when they guys were installing props I could run out mortar ready for the next lift. I just wonder if there's a kit available to install on your rig, it would make your job a lot easier and faster. I also spent a lot of time driving cranes on tunnel construction shafts, man there is nothing so boring as watching the banks hand signals all day and to wind me up they would signal me all round the shaft and up & down a few dozen times. They now have a camera and cockpit screen system so it's easy. Safe driving and keep the great vids coming. Stay safe guys.

[@trimbaker1893]

Awwww...The chain is on backwards. Once, a while back, I was helping some friends clear snowmobile trails up in Massachusetts in late fall. There was a crew of guys mostly homeowners that owned a chainsaw but rarely used one. My friend was recovering from a head injury that could have killed him. Widowmaker got him right outside his house a few months prior. He was happy to get out and work on the trails with us. I baked pecan sticky buns to have with coffee and brought them. Ok, so thats the set up, I am busy cutting a big birch blowdown and my friend is working on the limbs. I had to chuckle, he was making smoke but not chips. I asked if I could borrow his saw. I went over to a stump while he went over to the coffee and pecan sticky buns. I took his chain off and flipped it. Gave him his saw back. He was amazed that I had "tuned it up so it would cut" ... I didn't have the heart to tell him he had the chain on backwards. The other guys would have teased him. He was proud to show his wife the woodchips in his pockets at the end of a fun day. Smiling, George.

How did swinging the limbs into the boom feel while standing on the platform of your crane; did you feel anything? That tree would have been a nightmare getting it out, otherwise.

Was super light stuff. Was only theoretically eyebrow raising, not on site literal eyebrow raising, for me anyways.
