If you go back to work with them again you need to do a shop and equipment tour. I love seeing big companies like that and how they operate.

[@davidedwards8033]

Jacob is doing the whole industry a huge service by the simple process of making these videos. Imagine the number of young people he is encouraging to consider the career of tree work. It's remarkable

[@brandonnelson4164]

Making these are not a simple process. Editing, getting the shot, deciding the content, it’s a lot of effort. Watch his intro to this channel (after he stopped on the other channel) and he talks about the effort to some degree.

[@logancote6703]

we are a dying breed.. Then again so are the trees

[@FPSGermany25]

I am one of those young people! 22 and dreaming of climbing trees with a chainsaw!

[@noahcarl953]

I also just started doing tree work!

[@blueridgeexcavation]

@@FPSGermany25Don’t make it a dream, make it your GOAL💪🏻

[@rackets001]

I'll never understand what keeps me coming back to watching Jacob?! I'm not a tree guy, never been one, probably will never be one. Yet I find myself watching every video! Such enjoyable content!

[@billrobbins5874]

Makes a difficult task look easy. Nice to see the entire process. The crews definitely work well together.

[@55VickyV]

I’m an 81 year old disabled female with a fear of heights . I’ll never do tree work but I’m absolutely hooked on this channel. I really like learning and Jacob supplies that need!

[@roberttotaro9829]

It’s really cool seeing work in the area, Shreiner is a really good company, I’m going into my second year of business and I actually refer them to clients for tree health care, I don’t know anyone over there but i do know their reputation and I trust them. Very cool definitely an inspiration for a young business owner. 💪🏼💪🏼

[@jadyngross]

Do some training on tree health and take their job

[@kennethmadsen6474]

I feel like the chipper is - until now, at least - the unsung hero of a tree felling operation

[@SJ_999]

Grapple on a chipper sucks. A ditch witch is way better and a conveyor feed pan

[@StihlChainsaws]

Homie (Lee) has ALL the skills on the chipper controls😎👍 That's definitely a dream machine

[@lindaarbogast6499]

Jake you clearly had fun being on a team to cut down the trees. You were in teaching mode when someone shouted for you to cut the tree down.I laughed! You are a natural at this,you hunger for new and exciting things then turn around and teach others. Nice! Looked like a day that required a hot shower and a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up! Stay safe and warm! See you on the next video!

[@jakerubino3233]

Your knowledge of sold, liquid and gaseous states is mind blowing 😂

[@culbyj3665]

It can be tuff. Especially since we rarely see these and other liquids anymore.. We should stop dumping them off railways in Ohio and wester pa. Thats Like living in palestine.. see what I did there

[@ScottWConvid19]

Man, that chipper is incredible! What a time and risk saver. Way cool.

[@chaz10297]

Fun fact, Sugar Maple is often referred to as hard maple or rock maple. Now you know why.

[@kboot658]

We have morbark with a grapple and 3 vermeer x19s (which are massive P.O.S.!!!) That we feed with skids and mini skids......needless to say my back and shoulders appreciate it. These setups are worth their weight in gold!

[@softiss]

the wood going from trunk to roots on maple is a spessial type of wood. in the old days it was used for handles for different handtools. maple is a funny wood even to split its popps like nothing else.

[@joshmullinnex5113]

I think the variety of trees and environment are what is so cool about tree work. Nothing is ever the same.

[@jcc3999]

Hard maple, or sugar maple, is the most durable of the maple species with a janka value of 1,450, which makes it one of the hardest domestic woods used in furniture making

[@STMwoodturning]

Sugar maple is a super hard variety of maple. That’s why it’s used for custom muzzleloader stocks

[@foggyvalleyacres]

That chipper is a monster!

[@josephgreco1373]

Love watching you cutting. I live in Central Pennsylvania and just had a local tree service take down a dead sugar maple from my backyard. They got here at 6:30 last Saturday and by 3 they were all cleaned up and gone. It wasn't that big, but at least 70 feet tall.

[@LongBinh70]

I live in Southern New England in a world of sugar maples - no firs. A neighbor's sugar house was across the road, and he used to tap my trees this time of year. I'm no pro, just a gentleman farmer with a wood/saw hobby. Probably 70% of my cutting is maple, with the balance white and red oak. My tractor saw is a 261 with just a muffler mod, and it's sweet spot is an 18" bar. My ground limber is a 361 with a 24". Really big stuff has been a 661CM with a 32", but at 73, the weight is starting to get to me. Just got the 500i that I was on a waiting list for a year and a half, so I'm anxious for that to take some of 661's work! From the world of long rakers and short bucking teeth! 😁

[@krisguttu1673]

That chipper is sick!!

[@aaronbaum2542]

WOW!! That is an impressive operation, with guys of great skill and awesome equipment!! Thank you for taking us along!!😊

[@montanaranger7376]

It's awesome to see you fill all roles. It's not just all about climbing. Love the channel.

[@billyb.9878]

Dude, there like the beasts from the east. I'm an old retired guy that feeds a chipper 3 or 4 months a year. But nothing like THAT. The one fan nailed it. Just do an equipment video on one of these large outfits. Great job Jacob. Later.

[@Highlander111172]

Sugar maple is some of the best firewood. Once good and dry, it burns hot and for a long time.

[@happycamper6352]

Mill what you can first and make great furniture with it. The burn the scraps.

[@dianncharlan5648]

hahaha.....CUT IT! Quit talking and cut! lol

[@johndurant8687]

Northeastern loggers call it Rock Maple.

[@swere1240]

those steps on the back of the chip truck is so smart wow and locust is another super hard wood. heavy as hell too. and if you trim them they come back with a vengence full of thorns theres a crazy tree

[@frankthechemist]

During canadian winter when the wood is very deeply frozen it's even worse. You think your chain is dull all of a sudden, but nope, it's just sugar maple that resists with all its might!

[@mdbryan9525]

Big kudos to you for your channel. Really enjoyable stuff. I started out with my dad’s David Bradley gear driven chainsaw. 35 pounds and a 26” bar. You schlep that up and down a steep hillside and you have had your workout for the next 6 months! I watched your San Juan video and you swinging from one tree to the next over a cliff was really something. I crop dusted for 20+ years flying under power lines every day and but doing that would have freaked me out.

[@jcc3999]

As a species, hickory is rated at 1820 on the Janka hardness scale-the hardest domestic species. So if you're someone with higher than usual traffic, then Hickory may be the right choice for you.

[@FishFind3000]

18:40 I’ve got a ms362 m tronic with a 25” full comp chain and it didn’t like the maple I cut. I believe it was silver maple. Really couldn’t lean on it.

[@iffykidmn8170]

Silver Maple is perhaps the softest of Maples unless one considers Canadian Maple Maple.🤣

[@jcc3999]

About 134 native and 62 introduced tree species grow across Pennsylvania. Its range of topography and climate-from coastal plain to mountain ridge-top and high plateau-allows the Commonwealth to support the many different kinds of trees that make our forests unique and special Softwood species, including eastern hemlock, white pine and red pine, account for about ten percent of the sawtimber volume in Pennsylvania

[@dianncharlan5648]

Tree is down and tripod went down! Great video Jacob!

[@culbyj3665]

I cant help but feel Old guy was from south Philly and annoyed . That tripod was taken down On purpose as a Mistaken accident

[@Dave-ei7kk]

I remember when I was a kid growing up in southern Mississippi in the 1960s and we would have city cleanup crews come through the neighborhood after a hurricane. They had some big drum chippers also. But unlike the one you were featuring in this video, they didn’t have feed rollers. Operators would just toss the butt of a limb into the chute and the knives on the drum would just grab it and rip it out of their hands. It was a violent and I’m sure extremely dangerous operation to feed one of those things. I imagine several operators lost hands and arms or worse when their hands got caught in a tangled branch and they were sucked in along with the branch.

[@kylepope6805]

10:08 take my good hand! 🫳 That claw is hilarious.

[@markroper9269]

Amazing job on the chipper!! Bet they tried to hire you on the spot!!!

[@crabmansteve6844]

The dude operating that chipper is crazy skilled. Hes half man half machine.

[@Maniacal_Saw_Works]

Sugar maple, hickory, white oak and locust are probably the hardest tress you’ll cut in Pennsylvania. Other than ironwood but they aren’t too common l.

[@Tanner-williams1]

17:55 shots fired😂😂

[@tylersanville5990]

You should come to Vermont - at least half the trees on my land are sugar maple! Gotta keep your chains sharp and rakers not too low.

[@daddydiesel8409]

We get it... Pittsburgh PA averages 151 rainy days per year!!! But our monkeys work in the RAIN! 😲😲😲....... As always, great job Jacob!!!

[@RegrettiSpaghettio]

[@ub4943]

Great video! Welcome to the Northeast. Interesting hearing the comparisons in cutting. Unfortunately we are loosing our Ash trees 😞 only Wood you could burn green..,

You should see te chippers over in the Netherlands they al have cranes. You should look up the ufkes greentec sheeta 30 its tractor driven you wil be amazed

[@michaelrussell5413]

Rock maple we call them

[@KennysTreeRemoval]

A mini skid would have cut the time on that job site by half and the crew would’ve been less tired hauling all that debris by hand. We run 21xp with mini and full size skid for the large logs

[@andyd9199]

Glad you got to experience hardwood vs the stuff from PNW….great job as always bro

[@bartdowd9357]

Also called hard maple

[@qaweeorltuys]

And rock maple

[@happycamper6352]

I cut in the tri-state WV/PA/OH area and we call it hard maple too. Red (softer) maple is more common here, but hard maple is an occasional treat due to sale price. Jacob is right though, rakers can't be too low for them, and they'll break the teeth of chains that have been sharpened too many times. Really any tree can do that, but most noticeable on those.

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@happycamper6352 Mn/Wi/Mi would be hard maple irregular shaped heartwood and soft maple having a more rounded appearing heartwood.

[@happycamper6352]

@@iffykidmn8170 I'll need to look at that next time I cut a hard maple. Never noticed it, but that doesn't mean it's not true. Right now I don't have any non red maples lined up, but hopefully soon. I like checking stuff like that out.

[@nicholasbehnke4421]

A Husqvarna 372 would be a great travel saw with a mild Portage exhaust is wild

I normally watch your videos in school. But ever since the bullies who hate me for being autistic broke my computer... Looks like it's watching it at home whilst I snack on edamame. I just bought half a quart of wood with my Stihl Axe. Excellent video like always! I will be wearing your shirt tomorrow!

[@jeffstone2585]

That is quite the chipper! Chipped the whole tree, stump and all. I guess customers don’t need firewood these days.

[@amberk1217]

They are based out of King of Prussia.

[@easproul]

Woodworkers know sugar maple as "hard maple" so that gives you some idea of how dense it is.

[@zaccheus]

I was talking to a bandit dealer recently. He mentioned that the grapple option on those chippers is over $100k now.

[@lucaspetersen]

Why did I say “THE CLAW” (in the aliens’ voice from Toy Story) when Lee was picking up the rounds and tossing them in the chipper 😂

Yo Jacob! Not sure what your thinking for travel saw but if that 261 is to small, try the MS 362 that’s our saw for limbing and cutting the tree down in firewood after the 201TC with a 16” bar runs out, honestly super impressed with my 362 full wrap just love it, we run it with a 24” sometimes a 28” it’s a really good saw for the size and weight ours is stock with a modded muffler and it cuts alllllll dayyyy long. Can’t recommend it enough, and if you port them they turn into monsters. I guarantee you would like it
