Cutting tree bits in the Boom lift 55' high

[@angelamricks8666]

Thank you, I had a fantastic time watching you cut branches, believe it or not I love watching men work and it started with my dad. I really enjoy your Channel, so thank you very very much!

[@tedmart4212]

A tree guy told me everything looks different when you are up in a lift. Absolutely true. just did the same thing a few days ago. Got the job done but learning curve big time

[@marklockwood2146]

Your boom lift rental payed for itself. To conquer your fear of heights get up where you're not comfortable

[@braveheart1846]

I used to clean Jumbo jets in a cherry picker, 2 big blokes in the basket cleaning the tail, crapping myself with every sway, this brought back scary times. Good job on that tree.

[@wisdomsquare28]

You did good and saved yourself a bunch of money! Next time leave the gas can and other supplies on ground. Keep chainsaw tool in your pocket to tighten chain if it becomes loose. Always wear a harness, and tie yourself to the bucket securely! VERY instructional video on boom. Thank you for taking your time to instruct on use of boom.

[@paulhunter9613]

I used a gas powered JLG lift when building columns for a new bridge over a river in Ohio. It went up to 100' and it was the largest manlift in the area. At that height the slightest movement of the joystick control would have the basket swing back and forth 4-5' each way, kind of unnerving, you didn't want to think of it tipping over :)

[@0ptimal]

Aw helllll no

[@garner29]

Watching you motivates me to cut my tree .

[@canadaeast]

I have butterflies watching this. I can imagine how Bill feels.

[@MatthewSerta1]

This entire video has me on edge. I absolutely can not do heights, not even in a head mounted video lol.

[@billstmaxx]

lol you should have been in the basket :/

[@Smittyschannel]

It's not bad after the first half hour- just did two days in a 60' mobile articulating boom. lol the fun starts when you're way high up, & then start moving the whole thing forwards & backwards. I'm not as big a fan of helmet cams because most users forget to move & turn your head slowly while filming; makes you car sick watching lol

[@0ptimal]

Yea i think this seals it for me. I need a 60'+ lift and just no way id be able to go that high. Will have to hire someone.

[@peterk75a]

Really exciting and nervy stuff bill. I was with you all the way. .Thanks for the nice video.

[@johnharry7379]

It great to see a great video from Bill, good work Bill! Until next time!

[@easttnlawncare6740]

Very much respect I had a 35 ft trimming branches I didn't open it all the way wide open as high as it would go I got too scared I'm afraid of heights

[@kimfyffe]

You did a great job made it look easy TC

[@Syxx423]

That looked kind of fun and terrifying at the same time. Not sure I would want to go up in one of those. You missed a good opportunity to say , "Look! I can see my house from up here!" lol

[@billstmaxx]

lol

[@hawkeye-hz6kl]

Was waiting all day for this vid

[@Freebirdjack69]

My hands were sweating just watching this holly molly

[@MarcelHVAC]

mines too

[@RetiredVinny]

Bill great vid. however ,where was your harness , Your family needs you !

[@ewfuoywoef32pri]

OMG. Compared to the savings of DIY, cheaping out on safety is an embarrassing way to die. Not a good lesson for all the spectators either. A branch can easily pinch your hand and pull you out of the bucket. You rent a harness or you just buy it and later sell "used once" on CL.

[@jasonkerr8377]

Another great video I love your videos Bill keep up the good work 👍

[@kevinfisherman]

You know your high when the branches take 4 seconds to hit the ground

[@billstmaxx]

ya and drift 20' away

[@garykolo8650]

That little saw is great !

[@kg2nc]

Hey Bill glad it all went well and tou nice and safe on the ground. I have to say it looked very scary don't think I could of done that. Thabks for sharing

[@PuchMaxi]

Ooh boy, that looks very scary Bill!

[@photocontrol]

Good job! The boom lift sure was handy.

[@cbfarmsandtrucking5716]

Love the videos. Keep them up.

[@thunderstormzlightning]

awesome video bill great job thanks for shareing

[@Gmc0121]

Well I can tell you one thing he's crossing his arms which your never supposed to do whilst running a chainsaw and I'm a tree climber and I use a buck I use three ropes and that a buck strap a ground rope and a tie in rope which supports you while your climbing

[@ambrosebessette100]

Buckin billy ray probably would not approve or at least have a few pro tips

[@carlossmith3316]

glad you got down,i can breath again,little saw was great

[@mickimc2883]

We need to do this, we have 3 very large trees that need trimmed, (70 years old maples) so I have been looking for videos about that. This looks scary as heck!! And to think about my husband going up to trim or even cut down our trees, I am not sure I will be able to be here. LOL I think we will take out the two trees in the front and leave the one in the back, but cut it back a lot. This is going to be a big job..... I hope there are not squirrels in the tree either. We usually have a couple families. I am so glad you got through this safe and sound!!

[@jimmy-rochelle7584]

IF A HEAVY LIMB FELLON THAT BUCKET YOUD B EJECTED,AND NXT TIME PUT WIDE WOOD ,PADS UNDER LIFT FEET

[@jakeschisler7525]

Thanks for the video Bill!

[@AVIBobcat08]

Teather? Safety line? nah not for billstmaxx! lmao good video man not sure I would have tackled this, I am afraid of heights

[@bigbear3505]

maybe that little chainsaw trying to tell you something bill .. he don,t like that high lmao

[@randycook4364]

I agree, the air is to thin up there.

[@zx8401ztv]

Smashing job bill, "Tree mendus" lol :-D You didnt like the heights but you got the job done, well done bill :-D.

[@billstmaxx]

lol tree-mendus..

[@brucewilmot7950]

your gitting up in the world.nice cuting in lift

[@jfox9317]

Older video but good job. The only thing I would say is start cutting branch’s at bottom and work up. Gonna rent me a lift in a month to do 3 big ash trees.

[@THYKAER]

At 9.13 you almost cut the hydraulic line bill !!

[@billstmaxx]

close eh.

[@grant.m.ball0603]

Yeah close call

[@adamlupenette807]

Yeah you just about died sir.

[@talesfromthestreets]

You have balls of steel bill

[@johnm.evangelis693]

Great video Bills

[@dmarshall1964]

You ever do this again ya might want to invest in a Saftey Harness and go over the top rail to the mounting hooks on either side of the Jib just a FYI Not through the basket over the basket.

[@robertcrume3546]

sounds great Bill we all knew you could do it. we just hoped everything would work well, & safely for you.

[@ExtremeRecluse]

Makes me so nervous watching under cut with his arm just inches away.

[@extremesquash6024]

What happened to the metal foundry project?

[@billstmaxx]

shelved!

[@glennhunter7018]

Good job you have got a lot Of Guts doing that

[@digbyodell2924]

At first it was fun and scary and new, and then the saw acted up and it turned into just another way to work. A more portable boom like that seems better than climbing and taking a tree down from the top down but I suppose a lot of trees are too tall for a bucket boom.

[@747pete1]

Hi Bill, I had same sort of problem with my sthil saw, it turned out the vent in the fuel cap wasnt working and was stopping the fuel venting correctly, creating a vacuum in the fuel system, starving it of fuel, new cap fitted and works great now.

[@billstmaxx]

ahh yeah that will do it too

[@owenhill4309]

Bill I almost had a heart attack watching you on that lift surprisingly you didn't scream

[@owenhill4309]

😂

[@billstmaxx]

lol.. it wasn't to bad. just the wind

[@christophernaumann1650]

Rig stuff away from the lines and the house. Control your cuts leave nothing to chance

[@jeremynguyen2346]

Do you do tree trimming

[@ChinhDang59]

Look scary the way you handling the saw, it's a long way down for that saw, but gơd job, save a lot of money, I recently hired some one cut down couple spuce pine tree, cost me a few dollar, those guys make it so sample

[@MarkRoes-g6h]

You should really be wearing an arrest harness. Safety first.

[@scottfoster2487]

This would have been a good job for a pole saw,reduces the need to move around alot.

[@billstmaxx]

but the ones over the lines needed to be cut and controlled to the ground

[@charleslambeth4358]

Now that you are thru do you think about how much easier it would have been if you had your pole saw up there with you???

[@alexoffroad2660]

Ive used a 185 foot boom lift at work Working on a high rise Everything looks like an ant

[@ramosel]

OK, I'll not play the safety Nazi for you... but get a lanyard for that nice little saw. I mean, you'll heal, the saw won't!!

[@nicholasrobert9104]

Where's your harness? or is it not required for that machine

[@christophernaumann1650]

You need to rig stuff away from the branches.

[@egalloe72]

Any word on if you're gonna be allowed to film in the gates again?

[@davidwest373]

Thank the Frigg, that's done.

[@williamsumrall333]

Fascinating!

[@cg7306]

How big was tree? And how long it took you just to cut it?

[@39gadget]

I would have had one of your family get some video of you up in the lift. That way you could have video up and down.

[@brettmcdonald6825]

Hey Bill thanks for the video missed these kind. are you going to chip it all up in a video ?

[@paulhunter9613]

Do you really need to take a can of gas up in the lift? That saw will run for a long time on its tank of fuel. It's just not safe

[@drewthornton4684]

Riley gearhard its a sthil 192t t stands for top handle

[@RobertHonecker]

Hey Bill. Well done. I for one would enjoy watching you chipping all the debris?

[@meilingzhang7842]

CAT ' s Machine?😂😂😂

[@traceygatlin6364]

Hey Bill what GoPro do you use ? How long does the battery last when you doing a video like this ?

[@billstmaxx]

hero 4 silver it still had quite a bit but i have the backpack battery too

[@siebeschuijren3960]

Nice video

[@iancox8041]

Well done frend

[@CumminsDriver100]

Have you ever had a fear of heights? If so, what did you do to overcome it?

[@jessekagan]

how about a safety harness

[@johnstafford2402]

That saw may need tuned up....if it’s a 193t....go get yourself a 192tc, 200t or 201t.....good top handles those are. Especially the slightly older ones...older 201t and never look back.

[@marklockwood2146]

Haven't done a chipper video in a while be sure to check fluids ought to be good

[@miloxp]

great vid thanks

[@wolvesone]

i really had a hard time watching this video because of the angles my own fear of heights was actually kicking in

[@billstmaxx]

thats interesting.. i mostly didn't feel to bad up there. just the wind

[@wolvesone]

yea my fear of heights is pretty bad i have been trying to force my self into high places to try and break it so far its working but slow still dont think i could do what you did though

[@digbyodell2924]

Manitoba maple; is that what we call Boxelder maple where I'm from or something else?

[@ExtremeRecluse]

i have a variety of wild tree ranging from 35 to 70 ft. 6 total.

[@ExtremeRecluse]

A self propelled lift would have made it much quicker. Self propelled cost more than the rental in delivery fees.

[@shanesnyder6180]

[@TheSafteyGuy]

william snyder IJsselmeer

[@shanesnyder6180]

Matt Marino thanks

[@TheDisorderly1]

Time for a chipper video Bill?

[@Alexander111705]

Where the hell did you get a chainsaw that small?!

[@rayrayslawnlandscape2008]

sounds like a stihl 201T $700 dollar saw

[@crouchsonsfarm2884]

Hey Bill I just found out about the Big bud dlc for FS 17 and wanted to tell you about it so if you can check it out and do a video of it and thank you for all the videos you send all of your fans and first time viewers☺

[@dmarshall1964]

Not trying to criticize , but you running that saw like you did in this video. Your very lucky not to have cut yourself badly. Suckers will cause you a kickback 1 day and you will have a bad day. You pulling those little limbs up while cutting towards your wrist is a definite NO NO

[@johnkramer7161]

With all the moving around you have to do up there maybe you should've taken the pole saw with you.

[@billstmaxx]

its nice to have a close hand on the branch to let it fall under control

[@Bigjoe29]

What would've you done if you hit a bee's nest while up in the air.

[@billstmaxx]

well....

[@Bigjoe29]

BILLSTMAXX probably would have been the same I'd do. Lol. The whole time Christina was saying I hope he doesn't get in a bee's nest.

[@TheThecyclist]

I see whats going on the friggin choke was on lol

[@ethanknott7722]

Why did bill kept on looking down

[@billstmaxx]

to see how much more it was going to hurt if gravity took over

[@ethanknott7722]

Yeah that would be scararre bill but you did and it is over for the most part

[@Gmc0121]

I have a 85 feet bucket and if you want to see something tall get in that

[@sgt_jr3232]

I couldn't do it. Yours are bigger than mine.

[@getbiggertrailerslol9186]

Just cut all the bloody tree down haha

[@shanesnyder6180]

hi bill

[@christophernaumann1650]

dont one hand the saw.

[@johnreichert8958]

Fun to watch, BUT it's not for me. I don't do heights

[@locsipocsi1]

lol these comments are hilarious you don't need a harness it's advised to have one but in bills case with the small confines of the basket you DO NOT need a harness in fact you the basket has a railing enclosing it...... there for no harness is required. unless your going to be stupid and climb the railing.

[@christophernaumann1650]

Dont drop stuff on the lift. You are dangerous

[@Gmc0121]

I would prefer it tho

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

Lol don't drop the saw bill

[@chucktimm9803]

2 inch cuts come on billy

[@17snooker]

at 27min you must be getting to the point the lift will not go much higher

[@billstmaxx]

nearly full extent
