Love when you explain how you take the trees down and explain what equipment you use. Great work as all ways

[@kizzle621]

nice job kevin and jake! I swear no matter what. when you want a top to land flat no matter the size it will always turn the last second and land strang down. never fails!

[@skylerbrycesmith]

As someone who works on chippers for a living, it almost brought tears to my eyes to hear you say you need to grease it. I wish everyone would maintain their machines and actually grease them. It will save you a ton of money in future repairs.😂

[@KDlGG]

When you own them like he does then yeah you’ll wanna maintain it, everyone else doesn’t care usually because it’s a rental or leased machine so it’s “not their issue”

I really like that you replace "cus" words with chainsaw noise👍

Respect on your honesty 👏🏻 great video! Your my #1 favorite arborist channel

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Snowball_Philodendron]

There my favorite also. Along with Ace tree management, but they dont post that often.

[@bjornjan]

Jake, i have been watching your videos for a few weeks now and I am a fan. Your positive attitude is an inspiration, let alone your skill and tree climbing bravery! You decide what's in your videos, but if i may make a suggestion: Your videos tend to focus on chain sawing. It is interesting for sure, and i have picked up a few tips, but many of us either own a saw or can imagine using one. What sets you arborists apart from the rest of us is the tree climbing, that is the most fascinating. The ropes, the knots, the techniques, the gadgets (ascenders, spurs,...), how to set a zip line, how to be safe up there. There is some of that already, but please show more of that and tell what you are are looking for while climbing, when it is safe to do so. Keep up the good work!

[@brianhawes3115]

I totally agree, as a rock climber I don’t use the rope for anything but a slip or fall, he never shows how the rope somehow gets above him, and it looks like he has some sort of safety line to make a cut instead of just on his flip line, let’s keep asking because he does get a lot of time off between jobs

[@dankification]

I love how jake talked about how the top would bust the asphalt and 5 min later it happens 😂🤦‍♂️

[@Cent51]

But it his own fault for not making a bed or ply wood boards, nothing they can do but repair the hole and in future be ready..

[@blackshaggy]

I was thinking “ that’s not the 4” dia top Jake was just talking about “

[@McTree2013]

In all fairness, Kevin said they should get a crash pad made before topping the tree.

[@jonathonwestover5684]

He told the guy to drop a small top so they didn't need the plywood

[@jacksonbennett6151]

No 2 driveways are the same, it’s tough to know how thick or how strong the asphalt is or what the base material is and how it can support the asphalt. On a different driveway it could have been just fine!

[@nakedmongoose123]

Dude, that rope and chipper story is nuts. I had a much less near death experience recently when I sent a pile into the chipper and saw our climbers rope going in! I grabbed it as fast as I could and yanked it out, one second later would have been too late but oh man I’m so glad it didn’t go all the way lol. Scared the shart out of me and I too am way paranoid about it happening again

[@PimSchouten]

Gordy said it in a video of his, one of the reasons he likes you, if because you got balls. And I admire a guy like you for it. Stay safe man. Mistakes happen. That rope chipper story send chives down my spine…

[@farmhandluke5182]

Thanks for the video Jake! That’s a great looking new trailer you got! Got its first battle scar! Your building a nice fleet of equipment! Dang that was a scary story for sure about that camo rope going in the chipper 😱 👋

[@bradcurtis5324]

I've been here before. We always left some of the brush on the landing spot to stop exactly what happened. the accumalated brush and logs also buffer when you're piecing down the rest of the tree. Well, live and learn. Never failed to work. Clean up takes a little longer but it's worth it. I got my first echo 27 years ago. Retired in 03 the year I climbed my last tree and sold my business. Still have 2 echos. Best tree saw I've ever used. You guys did a geat job. Really good crew. The new type of rope gear is really nice. A lots changed since I was climbing.

[@ShredPile]

Fuuugggghh..... 6 minutes in and I have chills from that story. I don't even let people on the job with hoody strings still in their sweatshirts. Spinning things are the absolute pits for stray bits of any type of line or strap. Thanks for sharing that.

[@br-dj2ti]

When I'm over asphalt. I always rig tops, always mistakes happen. We all make them. I've done it before but I know it sucks. The first time I blew a top Over asphalt I did the same exact thing I learned from that day on rig.

[@dp1381]

Rigging the top seems like a no-brainer. It only takes a few minutes to set up a line and it guarantees no damage. I understand wanting to go fast, but it isn’t like saving a couple of minutes is going to enable you to squeeze an extra job in that day. You’re there all day to take the tree down. Don’t cut corners to save a few minutes.

[@br-dj2ti]

[@danedwards3015]

I soooo Wish I had all that for Fire Wood!! I love how you guys do such a Great Job of cleaning up afterwards too. I’m sure the Customers appreciate that as well. Well done Guys!!

[@joerauhut9169]

Jake ,I always leave some brush as a buffer zone over the important stuff .The top was around 4 inches and Kevin did ask for a brush buffer ,so you need to share the blame also .Crap happens but with a little extra site prep ,crap can be reduced to a minimum. 30 years in the biz has taught me that 🙂

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

You are totally right 👍

[@iffykidmn8170]

Crash pad, smaller 2'' top, rigging all could have mitigated the damage but cost time, cutting corners to save time do not always work out.

[@Docsully]

100% agree

[@Docsully]

Climber asks for a crash pad. Groundman/Forman/Owner doesn't give him a crash pad ask him to take a small 4" top climber does it, Groundman doesn't even leave a pile of brush or crash pad for climber and chances it then gets mad at the climber. If I was the climber I would have climbed down smacked Forman for raising his voice and then went back up to finish the tree.

[@James_12_]

Make sure to check the grease in the hubs with a new trailer purchase! I learned that most trailer manufacturers only put like a 1/2 teaspoon of grease in and call it "transportation lube." I read about it in the manual after I had hauled 2 loads of gravel. Hehe

[@cynthiabeckenbaugh5189]

Our local park, during a thunderstorm, a young girl, twenty something, took refuge under a tree. A four inch limb, dropping twenty feet, struck her head, she did not survive. They didn't realize how damaged, most of the trees were, very sad. I was always taught to respect, any branch that is falling.

[@ToddAdams1234]

JACOB, I broke a rib this past summer doing some tree work. The break was not far from my spinal column. It took a couple of weeks to heal before I moved so that I didn’t even notice it anymore. I ended up laying on the ground for about 4hrs because of the intense pain. I’m just glad that it WASN’T my spine that broke! I’m not mentally prepared for something that devastating! I can LITERALLY feel your pain. I’m DO SORRY for you that you went through that, because it’s ROUGH!!! Just finish healing up and DON’T PUSH IT!

[@benjaminlutz1872]

From experience I would ditch the pins on the dump trailer door. Weld a loop on the door and one on the side of your trailer. The put old zip line sling and a carabiner in one of the loops to hold the doors open instead. So much more reliable and makes the trailer less wide when dumping. Love the video and how you show the mess ups. Everyone has them. Stay safe!

Hi i have kind of an odd question. I served 20 years in the military but recently came into some hard times and my only saw just crapped out it was an old stihl ms440 and i am in need of a saw but dont have the means right now and ive tried every veteran support avenue i could and ive not found anyone who will part with a saw. so my question is do you know of anyone that want to get rid of a decent running saw? a larger pro saw would be preferable also if anyone needs proof of my military service i have my DD214 if needed. thank you for all your very entertaining videos ive learned some good tips and trick from then i watch them regularly. thank you again sincerly Rich from CT.

[@TH-cl5be]

hello so 19:44 when you climbed to the top would you not use like a block or friction saver to lower all those limbs down ? does it not burn the rope

[@jasondaley6723]

[@RSA50502]

fiy if you want to keep that 6.4 reliable you might want to keep that tow haul button on each time you drive it, with or without a trailer. they are quite proud of collapsing their lifters and causing a whole mess of internal engine problems with it. unless you want to drop a few grand to tune out the cylinder deactivation (doubtful) the only way to disable it is with tow/haul button being on.

[@mitchzenobitrees]

Has shivers run down my spine when you were telling the story about the rope in the chipper. Also, it takes bending your gate at least once for you to remember that they're there. I did it really good once, took the sledge hammer to it and got it squared away.

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Nice work on those pines. One thing....suppose you injured yourself up top while chunking and you had to exit quick? Say a saw cut. You only have your lanyard holding you , no climb line. So tied in twice is safety in case of lanyard failure...but also allows you to bail out quickly if necessary. I like the zigzag running through an adjustable friction saver or usaver. Just saying.

[@diggerdave.6587]

Hey Jacob, I was interested in you explaining the dangers of climbing ropes and chippers, maybe not the best idea to have a camo rope eh. There's a guy here called David Suarez who has rigged up a simulation of a dummy being dragged into a chipper, as you say, if you can imagine it then it'll be a whole lot worse. Stay safe buddy and sorry about the manmade pothole.

[@jessiemichelle5642]

I'm extra glad for the videos of pine trees coming down because I'm allergic to pine! I'd have to stay inside if I was there in person. I discovered that when a few pine trees were taken down here last summer. I realized I was coughing quite a bit and was wondering why, then I remembered my allergy and went in.

Get airbag for rear axle on your truck. That will keep you kind of level when towing heavy loads.

Airbags are good for loading just the truck. Weight distribution hitch will be better for trailer tongue weight and proper weight distribution on the truck. Will be a ton safer driving down the road also.💪

[@robertjackson18]

Love the chipper parts. There's something that's just so satisfying about watching a chipper in action. Maybe a mini window in a corner showing the chipper would cool

[@redmondjp]

Jacob - watching you drop the pieces while taking down that stem waaaaaaay high up there gave me an idea, which would make for a great video but probably will be difficult to find the situation: if you ever have a tree job next to an abandoned house or one slated for demolition, you should set up cameras inside the house and show the consequences of dropping a branch butt end straight down and some shorter chunks right onto the roof. Primarily to show climbers what the consequences are of any errors in the air, so to speak. We already know what a tree falling over into the house looks like (tons of videos on that), but dropping a 4" diameter 18" long piece from that high up? Will that go through the roof all the way into the living space? How big of a piece will? There are some science-project level questions to be answered here!

[@Finesnarl]

Great idea!

[@joerauhut9169]

The coolest tree service job I had involved 6 80 foot red pines near an 100 year old cottage by a lake.The cottage was scheduled for demolition to make room for a modular home . Originally the cottage was supposed to be out of there before I took the trees down but the excavator couldn't fit due to the trees .I told the guy that the only way they can come down is if I can drop them on the cottage. He agreed and we went at it .The first 5 landed on the roof and did some damage but not until I dropped the sixth one did we see some change .The sixth tree had a back lean away from the cottage and leaned towards a highway and some major pipelines and the only way to get it to go on the cottage was to shoot my pull line up high to get the most leverage and pull with my one ton truck .Needless to say when it hit it took down the roof to the first floor and blew out the window glass 20 feet .I remember the man's son in law saying "That was friggin sweet!" He has it on video somewhere 😂😂😂😂😂

Congrats on expanding the fleet with some excellent equipment Jake . Always focused on doing exemplary work , don't let stress get to you. I saw a video here on the tube of some people showing what happens when a climber's rope gets in a chipper . It is exactly as you say .. almost unbelievably fast ... you have very little time to react and shut it off before someone gets killed . They put at least a 100' line attached to a 200lb (I think) rescue mannikin . It was pulled into the chipper in about 2-3 seconds . Very chilling to see that.

Get some aftermarket bump stops for the rear axle on that truck. Those have coil rear suspension so they naturally sag more than a leaf spring truck would. Bump stops would help eliminate the sag of the truck along with added stress on driveline components

That 2500 will do more than fine. I recommend a helper spring, or air bags to assist the springs when loaded heavy. It'll help keep the geometry/alignment proper when towing heavy

Let’s say the chipper’s drum has a circumference of 4ft. If it’s spinning at 2000 rpm, that’s about 130fps of rope being pulled in. Scary to think about, unimaginably more so to experience. Glad you came out of that situation with only a lumpy rib and brown pair of pants

[@kyleboman6]

I don’t know if you know, but you can just tie a running bowline and put a caribiner in the eye of your rope where you made the running bowline and then pull it out at the ground. Save you time from having to make sure both ends touch the ground while you’re in the tree. With that akimbo you would also have to have the rope below the akimbo go through a caribiner or pulley to make sure it had a fairlead below the device before you put the rope back through the caribiner on your bowline eye. The rope runner and zig zag don’t need anything below cause they have a pulley built in
