Man, I'm sitting here recovering from a fall from a 10' ladder so watching you on that ladder brings back memories, at least what I can remember, and makes me real nervous. Sitting here with staples in my head and fractures in my back hoping that the pain will eventually go away so I can do the work that I enjoy doing, has given me a new perspective. Go to the extra work, take that extra step or take the time and trouble to get the right tools to do the job right and as safe as possible. It just takes that one little slip or wrong move on that one job where, like 100 times before, you told yourself you're experienced and know you what you're doing, it's just a quick cut or climb, I'll be fine... and next thing you know, you'll be sitting here just like me.

I selective cut for many years, cuz I wanted shade for my cow/calf pairs, but the trees got so big that everytime the wind blew, I had to cut trees off and fix fence, so I clear cut it……the cows don’t cluster under that grove anymore, but they’ve found a different, smaller grove to get shade…..trees grow back…….it takes longer here in Minnesota, but they grow big here too!

@HQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQ2 жыл бұрын
I see that situation a bit different. Of course you want to cut limbs on the ground, sometimes you need an arborist, but here i think he didn't want to remove the whole tree at first, but only a couple of limbs especially that huge growing over a tank or he was just afraid that when he takes a tree down it'll smash that tank... Maybe i misunderstood something... The other thing is... When you have a beautiful lawn, you don't wanna make holes in it when a tree comes down and pushes its limbs into the ground... But as we can see that fear about a tank smashing ended up not so nice.

Thought that was DP in the excavator. Was scared you were going to try to take the excavator up the ladder to get more leverage to push the limb off the tree. You know all that utilities you were worried about can be replaced or fixed. why didn’t you run a cable up high and pull it instead of trying to push? Wade that’s a beautiful place you have on top of the little hill, except for DP living so close. Enjoyed watching, stay safe

It was the biggest maple tree you can have it was huge and always turn red and orange in the fall is so beautiful and we made maple syrup out of it and everything when we were younger and I missed the farm Days by really miss that maple tree so this is kind of reminiscing back for me

Not to be critical, but, holy cow you sure have a lot of equipment for that job. I have cut down a lot of tricky trees, just as big, using only (a lot smaller) chainsaw, a (taller) ladder, a cable, and a cheap manual cable hoist (2 ton). And maybe a straight bar to move really big heavy piece around manually on the ground. Burned the trees up on the spot if I could. And I do the job alone (1 man). Probably in less time than you were working on it with all your manpower and resources. If I did not burn on the spot I would load on a trailer pulled by a pickup. I would split the bigger pieces by hand with a steel wedge and a 12 pound sledge hammer. Hard work but f'ing around with all that machinery is also a lot of time, effort AND fuel.
