Great demonstration of logging in a tight spot! I think I'm gonna get my hands on a few Guardian Angels. Not for myself, mind you, but for my dad and some other people I know whose safety can always use an assist. Thanks, Tim!

[@oldbuzzard76]

Watch and learn folks . This guy IS the real deal ! Some day I hope to half as good .

[@jdgimpa]

Cool video, all orange equipment! Phillip is growing up fast, I remember how small he was in the first video's he was in. It is great that your family includes your kids in what you do. There is nothing like working with your dad. They will always remember the time you spent with them. My dad and grandpa always included me in what ever project they had going. The lessons I learned are far more valuable than anything I ever learned in school. Now I am sharing time with my grand kids. You and your family deserve a lot of respect, not only for the way you treat your family, but how you treat others. I am glad to be subscribed to your channel.

Like it u are the best sawman i everseen awesome. Also i do lawn care and mow and weedeat along roads that guardian angel light would be a good thing to have in those situation's. Thanks for thr videos u are awesome 👌.

[@glenpomeroy2047]

That Guardian Angel strobe is cool and I can see lots of applications where it could be used. It's nice to have that big Kubota wedge for doing those danger trees....

[@davidchapin8297]

Guardian Angel must really be out there getting their product out. I have seen it being used by several of the you tubers that I watch. Looks to be a very good product.

[@adam_da_insulator]

The Guardian Angel is awesome I'll hopefully buy soon. Great video love seeing that mini run.

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Good evening. That light has my gears turning. Thanks Tim.

[@mikelatham146]

Nice 👍 smooth work there

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Slow down and move over for our first responder's, Love Ron's truck Tim..Great video Tim, Great to see Phillip again, Good grief he's grown now..LOL Have a great day Tim..Take care

[@calvinh.8882]

Every bike rider should have one of those lights on the back of their bike so cars can see them when they're riding at night.

[@kevinlewis7882]

Great job taking the tree's down, the mini come in handy on this project, good video

[@ryanmarshall9146]

Good to see Kevin and Phillip working with you with your new Kubota! If you didn’t say anything I was going to ask you about that light! I watch Ron Pratt and he has a cool light that goes around his hard hat too! As always great video!

[@juniorraines5956]

Nice job on taking down the trees. Awesome video enjoy watching thank you for sharing have a great Sunday and a good week

[@jpeveto81]

Great video. You have full on sold me on the Husqvarna saws I am planning to buy a new 562 XP as soon as I can get to a dealer. Great choice on the excavator of all the ones I've ran Kubota has always been the best with a strong turn motor and great power to the ground for pushing.

[@brentonpruhs7070]

Glad to hear Kevin is coming back around!!

[@karlcarnevale4948]

Great video Tim. I saw the light on your shoulder. Thought it was some sort of personal protection loggers use.

[@briangardiner1015]

That Guardian Angel is a cool thing. I could see having one in case you broke down or if you had a flat tire. I was thinking you could make a bracket like you said, but just use a 2 1/2 inch wood screw and screw it into the log. Or a couple of screws. I'm not a tre cutter but we had both kinds of saws Stihl and Husky and I really liked the Husky saws.

[@25yearfleettechnician63]

This channel rocks. I find myself subscribing to the people as much as content. Was watching Letsdig18 recently and the tube reccd this. Glad I found ya. Saw you in action fabricating the sprayer last video and some before that. Hope my daughters are happy to hang out with me in a few years. Good stuff 👍

[@dannythomas5902]

Tim awesome video loved it Sure some big pine trees I can say you sure love to cut trees that saw is amazing I always enjoy your videos

[@steamfan7147]

Neat little invention,I remember the truck refuel video.Some strobes on the truck wired into the hazard flasher cicuit might be a good idea too.

[@gordonbright7106]

Great video Tim nice trees y'all cut. As good as you and Kevin did don't believe y'all can keep up with Derrick in the woods

[@patkelly7999]

Great work lads, I'd say Kevin has driven a track machine once or twice before:):)

[@peanutsmith1462]

Great video tim . Safety live with it

[@georgewyrick1859]

We love using our mini to cut wood. We cut the limbs off and pick up the tree with the mini and start chopping. Makes it much easier. Maybe next machine we get will be Kubota.

[@julianljackson]

Great Job the Ax Caddy did..

[@metlmuncher]

That 57 looks mint. Bad to the bone power in a small package.. Oh yeah. It was great to see that young man learning and helping!! WTG

[@nathanbrodeur]

Tim that Guardian Angle light is what I'm going to be getting for next winter for snow clearing and for if I have to change a tire on the side of the road

[@teebugg66]

Tow truck drivers and law enforcement officers need those lights! Imagine how many more people would see them...

[@robertbradford2734]

Sir you definitely know how to put them on the ground...👌

[@johnwilloughby9712]

Great video Tim that Kubota doing the job man be safe and have a blessed day!

[@hughedavid1]

I need your light about first thing. That’s a great idea.

[@mentalsid3701]

Cool vid mate!!"! Im going to G.A. for a look see! Hope they ship to Scotland!! Cheers

[@GuardianAngelDevices]

We do ship internationally

[@harrylatoush9452]

Nice looking Mini! We took some big cottonwoods down next to our house one time and I had to crawl up them about 20ft and hook the mainline from my dad's Clark 664 to them and he pulled while I cut and we kept them off the house. Scary and fun!

[@gregcothrum4045]

Good video Tim have a good day and stay safe 👍

[@stevenlay9551]

Tim do you sell the trees that you cut on the little side jobs you do?

[@michaelrussell5413]

Awsome vid tim

[@rodneyfelker4501]

good job i thank bucking billy ray would be proud of you good job be safe out there from new York good video

[@guido2110]

Cool cool video! That Kubota already payed you back ?? Lots of money an you will always have it .Good investment !

[@accomack100]

That saw man knows how to cut a tree!!!

[@mikehornsby599]

Great job enjoyed that!!!!

[@derrickpettit3489]

Hey Tim great video buddy, nothing but professionals in this video, you and Kevin can take down some trees now, did you use the mini to pick up any of the old growth, and if so how did it do, I'm sure it will. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the next one. 👍🌲🌳🤙

[@mikefugett9250]

555 or 550XP Mark II? Trying to decide, could use the advice. Thanks.

[@brentmedders]

Kevin was vocally coaching a couple of those trees. Has he tried the new saws, I saw him with chaps on?

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

nice work men !

[@timothymiller4217]

Did you get the wood as pay? Or was the land owner selling it?

[@gdevil5683]

Awesome video brother!

[@kroy-rz8cd]

get otta the way!

[@jeffcharley3195]

Great video as always Tim. Your brother, nephew and you work great together.

[@danielsweeney6742]

Tim I see you plunge cut into the tree, does that help the chain saw from getting stuck? I was always told not to plunge cut because the chain saw could kick back. Might be bad info I was given?

[@firewoodwarrior4396]

The method he's using is the safest method to use. He sets his hinge first and then sets the trigger, doesn't get any safer than that. Bore cut is a must when felling trees with a hard lean or trees that are dead. The risk of kickback only occurs if you don't start your bore cut with a pulling chain.

[@kirklewis6855]

I have a few big pines at my house you need to come cut while your at it 😂

[@logansimpson305]

Love the digger

[@jimlashbrook5429]

Tim. What is with the flashing light on your shoulder?

[@cotontop3]

Go to the last 10 minutes of the video, I tell all about it

[@jimlashbrook5429]

Sorry Tim I had not seen the whole video.

[@cotontop3]

No worries, I don’t mind that.

[@catfishstalkeroutdoorswith530]

Awesome

[@gavinhirt5231]

You need the halo for your hard hat saw the gaurdian angel tho wondered if you bought it

[@bparsons72007]

Why do you most always do a plunge cut?

[@mattphillips4260]

tim those 2 chainsaws you used in this video are they new to the market or are they just out to test them to bring out at later time (waiting on what you and others have to say to make them better before they put them on the market)

[@cotontop3]

They are new but you can buy them right now. Some areas they are still a little hard to find.

[@joshcunningham9082]

Do you like the xcut and do you think it's faster

[@cotontop3]

The x cut is in a league of its own. It is a very good chain

[@joshcunningham9082]

@@cotontop3 k thanks for replying I was wanting to try it just didn't know if it was worth it

[@rexoliver7780]

That GA strobe light is really neat-GREAT safety device!!!Your team and the Kubota,Husquvarna saws work well together.The chip you showed from the saw shows the chain teeth are sharp and cutting well.This is the same sort of chip you want to see coming off circular saws,band saws.

[@jackdauphin7741]

We use something similar on our gear at the fire Dept. I like that one because it is so versatile. Awesome vid

[@MrThenry1988]

Work that boy. I was bucking with an xl12 at 13. Red one. He is interested. Don't burn him out though. Lol.

[@davidbailey5006]

Professional! I don’t cut trees down but I do cut them up and haul them off. I’ve always used the yellow clip chains. Is the X2 chain different? Where can you buy them? How does the 572 compare to a Stihl 441? I bought a Kubota kx-040 and I’m real happy with it. My job sites are usually real tight.

[@Canopus68]

I always find it interesting that you and many sawyers start with the top of the notch instead of the bottom. I never figured out why. I always start with the bottom cut because I can stand in front of the tree with my back to the direction I want it to fall. I hold the saw parallel to the ground and pointing in the direction I want the tree to go. I start my cut at the depth I want my notch and then swing the saw across the tree maintaining the depth of the cut. When I get to the other side I use the sight on the saw casing to check I'm in the right place. This gives me the correct place to start and end the top cut on my notch. I've tried cutting the top of the notch first, but found it was less accurate. I'm not exactly new to felling trees. I bought my first chain saw when I was 17 and I'm over 70. I chopped cord wood for while and drove a cable skidder when I was younger. I'd love to have your 550xp, but I can't afford it and I no longer need a saw that big. My 372xp just gave up the ghost.

[@glenpomeroy2047]

The reason you make the top cut first Bill, is so you can look down the cut to see when your bottom cut matches up with the top cut and you don't create an overcut or what was once called a "Dutch Cut". In order to keep your bar level when doing the top cut you can use the sight lines on the saw.

[@Canopus68]

@@glenpomeroy2047 Okay, that's why I do it the way I do it. Once I have my bottom cut set I match the upper cut to the bottom. The bottom cut shows me where the upper cut goes. As both a logger and carpenter I always found it easier to deal with straight lines instead of curved ones. I was just wondering as all the loggers I've worked with in New England do the way I do it. No big deal. Thank you for the insight.

[@nekoroms]

Also isnt it easier for the tree to grab the saw if you do the horizontal cut first and not the other way round

[@Canopus68]

@@nekoroms Not sure what you are saying. I've used the flat cut first for more than 55 years. If you think about it, when you cut the top first then all the weight of the piece you cut is on the top. As you make the flat cut then top "falls" on the chainsaw bar and chain. I volunteer with a land conservation organization. We often have work days where we cut trails, build bridges and do rock work. If we're dropping trees, there are often 3 or 4 of us working on different sections of the trail. At least two of those people are professional foresters. All of us use the same flat cut first then the top cut. When I was logging the chopper (also know as a feller) used the flat cut first method. While I was working for that company I drove a cable skidder. One other consideration is that out west or when cutting high value timber they do the flat cut first and then do an angle cut up from the bottom called a Humboldt notch. That way they don't lose a section of the log when making the notch. As they say different strokes for different folks. As long as it works and it's safe that's what's important.

[@stevejake4316]

Man, cuts it like warm butter. Cool video, 👍

[@bradnavratil5502]

I don't think you needed that wedge.... not with that machine pushing it

Do you get poison ivy or are you immune from years of working in the woods?

[@cotontop3]

For the most part, I’ve built up an immunity but on very rare occasions, I will get some on me.

[@jeffreyvicks7181]

Really great safety light, perfect for any high risk situation or work site.

[@roadking8337]

Could you just back cut it down. And pushed it. Idk just seems like you make more work out of it. Best dressed logger i have seen so far. Could have just dug the whole tree out with the new ex

[@thomasnaper175]

hi Tim bigredscotsman here. I had many tree jobs like you had there in the differant cities around Denver area. Wish i would have had the kubota. the last job where had the last job i did was 5 red cedars at around 5 ft from neighbors home problem waspower lines right in the wat to left. So i tied a line to it and the back end of truck by my self that day, man gotta tell you that was a nerve racking job then had the heart attack. got job done around a month later veryu slowly. anyway like i said yesterday you fire up my day very much love all your videos keep up the great work you do.
