cutting down TR-ASH trees

[@scatoutdebutter]

Professional, intelligent, creative, educational, good-times tree work and KZbin videos. Thanks for continuing to produce and share these! Good to see Damien back from Reon Rounds working!

[@kenholland7204]

Awesome video. I like Jeff he seems humble and quiet. Thanks August for the video. Great crew.

[@NHlocal]

Another great team effort August! Huge respect to the team for keeping up a great attitude and atmosphere on the jobsite. Keep yourselves safe! Randy

[@jaxturner7288]

Bro, three climbers and one tree is one of my favorite videos. Definitely legendary tree work if there has ever been any.

[@dirk480]

I find it fascinating your rigging capabilities. Such skill is needed to know how a tree will swing after cut but you make it look so easy.

[@hailofaguy]

That really opened up the side of that house. Looks great. Another fine job by the dream team + 1.

[@pumpupthevolume4775]

The bigger accomplishment isn't all those cuts, but all those branch and trunk multi-point tie-offs that enable the crane to maneuver those loads so effectively. Would like to see more of the climbing gymnastics to get all that done as well as see the knots to secure it all along with commentary for rationale behind tie-off placements. Some great work there.

[@AugustHunicke]

I have time to show SOME things but money limits what I can do for free for the KZbin audience. If you look you can see where they are connected for balance.

[@troytreeguy]

Talk about fire power! Love how the crew works like a finely oiled machine. Be Well MB Crew and Families

[@lindaarbogast6499]

Hey Elliot thanks for all the sawdust in my face and hair! Nicely done! Thanks for sharing!

[@davidhall8874]

Now that's what a good video looks like! Professional tree work and professional video! Thanks for the video!!

[@ramseyshanemangus3665]

Elliot has a natural gift! He sees wasps where no one else can! :D

[@snoozinglion8596]

Very close to 40,000 subscribers there August... Way to go! Cheers!

[@gorillaau]

47.6k atm... won't be long untill this channel hits 50k then onto 100k.

[@55VickyV]

Wow! The tree you were removing with the crane had branches as big as whole trees. 🇨🇦

[@MJPeddler]

I don't know why this is so entertaining to watch! You run a smooth operation, August. Your video and editing work is fantastic as well. Dually impressive!

[@longlowdog]

Happy boss, happy but tired crew, what a great day. Regards from Scotland.

[@InDisTREETV]

excellent video...awesome team work environment...everyone is capable and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done correctly 👍👍👍👊

[@billpace3001]

Reading other comments I see what kind of viewer you attract. It is a true joy watching smart men work.

[@tresatmd]

Would be very satisfying to see dedicated before and after shots. You guys are GOOD!

[@0oChugChug0o]

I Don't comment very often as well , Love the Videos and a Job well done Ty Sir =) All of you .

[@jmester_atc]

Very well done video. Liked all the different angles / perspectives. Well put together. Also congrats on the 19ax

[@johndunbar2393]

Damien rocking the Pigpen look! I love it! Lol! Great job fellas!

[@kathim231]

Very impressive on that huge tree. All workers, divide and conquer

[@GoProBiscuit]

Wasp mating season is now. They fly around in high places like that. Were dealing with them on cell towers

[@just2firefangyalom43]

Thanks to your crew fo a job well done..be safe out there boys..

[@joshpomponio2993]

Everybody did nice job Jeff did get hosed but guess can’t win every time great footage be safe fellas

[@jieg01]

Thanks for another good video

[@tonyoffermans3676]

Man, I love watching this hairy stuff done by the pro's. Imagine how all that wood in the air can damage property. Trash tree job well done.

[@steppoffaith8426]

Nicely done!!!!

[@buillioncubes]

[@kevinbprice7448]

Haven't commented in awhile, but I've been watching! As always, great vids! Oh, and tell Elliot to get a Unicender- quit all that slack tending (11:44)!

[@elliotkramer2714]

Kevin B Price Oh Damien certainly said his piece. 😂😂😂

[@DanDeVoto]

August, does your area have "Heritage Tree" laws"? Here in Pleasanton Cal. I had to go through our city Arborist to remove my 3 Redwood trees in my side yard. Fortunately he conquered with request to remove the trees.

[@TheGdcb]

Modesto Trash trees are all over Sacramento valley. They were planted in the 60s with all the Larchmont tract homes. They have aged out and are limbing everywhere.

[@mvblitzyo]

excellent like the cheers with coffee n of damaion at the end of the day .. pitchy !

[@5377mead]

Another great video August. Which do you have more fun with; tree work or the video production? Also, how do you handle jobs with wasp/hornet nests...or even just heavy active feeding?

[@murkywaters6294]

Great video. The neighbors garden is going to be happy most likely. Did you have a before and after in there? Maybe I missed it but that’d be a great addition to any tree removal video.

[@treeman765]

Boy that Elliot sure is a throttle jockey on that saw lol

[@gregorynelson9682]

I was thinking the same! lol

[@Craneman4100w]

I call him BrumBrum.

[@justinmcnulty601]

Divide and conquer that was great! I noticed the service drop to the house was taken down to allow for crane placement to make that possible.

[@brianc2898]

Hey August, I see the BC1000 Vermeer chipper in this video. Is it gas or diesel powered? Are you still demoing it, or was it purchased? And did you keep the M15RX you had, or trade up to something bigger? Great video as always!

[@megadosevitaminc8774]

I drove through Merlin a couple weeks ago but only tree guys around were aspluhnd. That tree with the pitch is gonna give me nightmares. My hitches r all jammed with pine pitch at the moment.. cool vid

[@topsaw]

Great video

[@erlendgreulichfrontierbigw218]

Great presentation- make sure Damien wears a face mask-imagine what his lungs took in ...if the outside looks like that. We care for your team - not a righteous or patronizing comment. Thank you as always!!!

[@americanoverlander1116]

I don't think it makes it to the lungs but you sure end up blowing a lot of snot on a job like that. It's especially bad on trees that have been standing dead for a long time. The dust is horrible.

[@howardspurlock1443]

So good at what you do

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Bro nice job.💪

[@karleck1119]

you have a good crew

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Augusta! !! What's up😆😆Nice.😆

[@ralphcure127]

Not all super heros wear capes brotha👊

[@PaulBarwick]

The electrical service lines into the house have been temorarily disconnected from the pole and are just laying at the front of the house. the cable or phone line too has been disconnected. Is this something that you have to have done often? Do the utilities charge you for sending out a crew and doing that?

[@gorillaau]

The utility company do charge over here. They even don't like install a temporary fuse box when a house is being built. The builders are asked to get a generator untill then permanent installation is done for the house.

[@Josh.Straughn]

If we lived within 300 miles of you I would totally donate time to you just to see it all live!!!

[@bi9g88st5ud]

Where do i sign up? 😁 you were destined to have that crane it has made your operation so smooth. Have you had any breakdowns on your vermeer? What do you do to get pitch off?

[@netook8]

We have no shortage of those Ash trees where I live. Climate plays a large part in what trees grow in an area. Ash thrive in my climate, as to Elm. Elm more so because the winters are far to brutal for DED to spread. The result is street after street of American Elm. Some others in my area: Trembling Aspen, Balsam poplar, Plains Cottonwood, Western Cottonwood, Willow(various), Box Elder(Manitoba maple), Bur Oak, Siberian Elm. White spruce, Black spruce, Whitebark pine, Lodgepole pine, Jack pine, and Tamarack Larch. The countryside is mostly dominated by Aspen, Poplar, and white spruce. The others tend to be near rivers, coulees or in developed areas.

[@matthoye4974]

Elliott loses at 90’s tv trivia...and at identifying actual wasps. Invisible ones, he’s got that down pat!

[@ragnarsbrother6049]

smooth operators

[@douglasgrant8532]

With that amount of pitch I am not sure the winner of shortest straw (Jeff) actually won hahaha... either way getting dirty gives a sense of accomplishment, (Damien) must have felt extremely accomplished! Great work again! Stay Safe, brothers!

[@barrybri]

Men at work makeover modeled by Damien gives us a sneak peak at the new line of Monkey Beaver cosmetics ;)

[@williambell868]

A 10' section of non life safety rope a a couple of closed clove hitches would keep the fingers clear of pinches. Just a suggestion from a armchair quaterback. Y'all keep up the awesome work.

[@63256325N]

Excellent work, great edit, what's not to like! Thanks. 😉

[@TimCBuilders]

This was a real good video

[@THELULE90]

Love your videos man :) You got a big like from Serbia :D

[@davids8493]

Would you ever consider battery chainsaws for the small stuff?

[@stihlsteadman]

Great video as always straight kill'n it🍀🤙🌲

[@wendyh3891]

Wow I wish we had efficient tree fellers like that in South Africa 😮

[@jenford7078]

Who ever knew tree service life was so sexy!

[@randallhammond6872]

Very surprised you don't have a avont yet. But hell I ain't even got a mini skid yet. Love the videos looks like you have a good crew to

[@mikeerb4194]

What size is your crane

[@warrior9835]

If you do use headsets/ mics what kind do you use? And how many people can you have on them?

[@AugustHunicke]

Parkour Powell sena, communication. They will do 8 people. Older ones do 4.

[@EddieSchirmer]

those power lines man... just like Ron Pratt the tow operator calls them, his "Arc-Nemesis" must be the same for you tree guys too... deadly dangerous, probably plenty of pucker moments around them on this job too eh.

[@stevepettersen3283]

Only my second video seen. Can you show the chipper shredder in action?

[@stevenmurata4392]

Gotta be one happy neighbor, now.

[@gmoney1680]

Not even in the business but I enjoys the videos

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 good old wilson.... 🤣🤣

[@thedyingmeme6]

Can someone explain what pitch is?? Also these vids r rlly cool

[@AugustHunicke]

Sap

[@zippythechicken]

wow thats going to be a dramatic life change for them ... thats a lot of trees in a small area. do you sell those chips? I was talking to this one guy and he pays to get rid of them... idk about that .. i think he pays.. he takes them to the transfer station anyway so i am betting he pays.

[@AugustHunicke]

I take them home usually

[@waltbellamy4862]

just sayin my bagel this morning had a nice hinge cut just sayin !! :

[@PoplarMechanic]

Very cool 👊

[@messybench]

I have an aged out dangerous trash tree myself. Luckily it leans away from my house. It's coming down soon like so many others planted here in the 60s.

[@paulkelly1702]

How doe one tell the difference between a pro and a landscaper who climbs trees with a chain saw? Works out of their CAR No hard hats on the ground crew Yells instructions to his ground crew Ground crew moves like they just won a Quaalude eating contest Works with the same ropes their fathers did I so enjoy watching you work August.

[@avirtualworld4U]

Luck is just hard work cleverly disguised.

[@brucelund5788]

I think you found another house of "not like tree people", loved the sawdust shot! :{)

[@alwayshungry24]

awesome vid

[@heresmytake2782]

Wow just a touch dry out there eh?

[@beetickler6418]

Before and after photos would have been nice to see.

[@coilstreeservice9398]

If they don't like that they probably don't like ice cream either.

[@fredygump5578]

How much does a job like this cost? It looks expensive! And I have a whole row of crappy trees that probably need this kind of treatment...

[@AugustHunicke]

[@scatoutdebutter]

@@AugustHunicke just goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover.... house and neighborhood... no offense at all though... might be the "millionaire next door"

[@johnmarquardt1991]

How much did it cost the customer?

[@brianfloyd8033]

Man i hope that was a bank job on a foreclosed home . If not wow what a mess .lmbo

[@noemierollindedebeaumont1130]

Man, these cable hanging down from the power line are scary !

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Easy peasy, lets go home now.

[@leecooper7374]

What I and maybe others would like to see is how the picks are rigged before the cut. Yes I know it would be time consuming and slow the job down but I think it would also be educational so we all could learn something y’all are very good at so share the knowledge of what to and what not to do.

[@AugustHunicke]

Lee Cooper To see how it’s done, one simply has to observe how it behaves after it’s cut. Every pick will be different in weight distribution but the same recipe: to attach the slings at the balance points of the piece. Or, if simply a vertical, evenly weighted pick, attach bottom heavy. Additionally, you can see in my videos where they are attached from multiple angles. Why show the actual knot tying? If one doesn’t know the attachment knots through traditional rigging experience they are not ready to float out giant picks.

[@leecooper7374]

Thanks for the reply August. We do the same with steel when we’re rigging it. Except most of the time with steel you want it evenly balanced. Are y’all riding the head ache ball or simply climbing limbs when ever possible.

[@AugustHunicke]

Lee Cooper thanks ya both climbing and getting rides depending on safety and efficiency.

[@trevorblack3385]

Damien is such a vagrant😂😂😂 pretty bad ass worker though.

[@dylan8285]

whats the reason for the ash tree to be a undesirable tree,because in the midwest there gone all killed by EAB

[@AugustHunicke]

Dif kind of ash

[@matismf]

That poor neighbor's garden is gonna get a bad sunburn now that its shade tree is gone!

[@AugustHunicke]

Gardens crave sun, plus those trees were east of the garden. And they hated picking up after the neighbors tree.

[@buillioncubes]

@@AugustHunicke I thought gardens craved electrolytes?

[@AugustHunicke]

buillioncubes plant a garden in the trees and tell me you don’t start wanting more light 😁

[@buillioncubes]

@@AugustHunicke I live in a track house so it's not trees that are blocking the light. Do arborists do house removals? They're pretty weedy over here :)

[@bradplumb64]

Wilson, was the neighbor..

[@shanesouza4303]

I guess the green guy in the garbage can lost his shady trees. I want cookieeez. 😜

[@toddjacks8288]

Good morning guys

[@therrienmichael08]

In general wasps are not considered pollinators

[@AT-cn2gu]

How many hours you have on your CTX Vermeer now?

[@AugustHunicke]

A M around 1500

[@joegilly1523]

A little pitchy ,try auto tune . Sorry, good job . All of the ash trees up my way in New York are dead. They are rotting away where they stand . I have several that I need to get cut and removed . Good service cost but is worth it to not have a headache.

[@olegig5166]

One thing I know for sure, the neighbor's garden will need much less water.

[@davidparker8242]

I think tash makes nice firewood.

[@valentinvogel5843]

man some of these picks were plum.
