Is MINI Equipment the FUTURE of Tree Work?

[@jamesgaul1022]

I personally enjoy watching the tree work videos. They offer more variation in activities than repetitive firewood processing videos.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I agree James, I’m trying to bring a little more variety to my videos whenever possible.

[@ShermanLawncareAndFirewood]

Man I can watch you guys do tree work because there’s no way my carcass is going that high in the air. Great job guys. Nice work 🔥

[@DudeRanchDIY]

lol keep watching!

[@PicMartSkunkWerX]

Just watching tree work gets boring, but, when you add focus on technique, and especially the machinery, it's very interesting. The Forst chipper still amazes me. That thing rocks! This was the perfect job for it, tight quarters, terrain, and numerous trees spread over a few acres. Good job.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I agree, I try to make the tree work videos informative without being a “how to”

[@tlaughlin1969]

Tree work videos are a nice change from just fire wood. Keep making them and I will keep watching.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Will do

[@dougdinsmore9751]

Personally, I’d like to see a mix of tree work and firewood videos. Your content is always top notch whatever work you guys are doing. 👍

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks! I enjoy the variety too.

[@dinogarnett1106]

Hey Jake and Chris! Just wanted to let you know that y’all’s tree videos are our absolute favorites! We met you both at Paul Bunyan two years ago. We enjoy all your videos, and rarely comment, but wanted to let you know about our love of your tree climbing videos! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Hey Dino! Chris and I remember you both! Kentucky right? We missed you at Bunyan this year, thanks for the continued support!

[@dinogarnett1106]

Yes, Jake, you have a great memory! It is Kentucky, however, we have decided to move back to Florida, which is why we didn’t make Paul Bunyan last year. We have our sights set on next year, for the show! Congratulations on that new baby coming, and all our futures look bright starting Jan 20th… !

[@andrewsmith3121]

Jake as a Black Belt? Looked more like a White Belt!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 I joke, of course! Amazing job by all 3 of you! Really shows the versatility of the equipment used! Of course, that's also dependent on your skills and experience, since you are PROFESSIONALS!!!

[@davidedwards3734]

Great video!! Y'all have some Great equipment!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@georgesalamon8128]

Definetly like the Forst Track Chipper! It comes in handy for sure! Great job Chris! Yes, I like the tree work video's

[@williamwhite9275]

personally I enjoy all of your videos keep up the great work guys

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Appreciate it!

[@dropshot1967]

I enjoy all your videos, variety is the spice of life

[@brianfriesner8971]

Love the tree work. You guys do a great job! Keep it up!

[@GeorgePelaez-g7b]

Great arsenal of equipment boys! Great video Jake and Chris

[@mikemccormick3764]

Jake , Chris & Steve - Luv the tree work videos. Nice switch from the firewood ones. Get to see different equipment and skills being used 🤙🏻. Thnx…

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks glad you like it

[@jramsdenbb]

Nice job, Gents. Like it that you included the issue with the chipper- keepin’ it real. Keep ‘em coming! Thanks for taking us along.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks nothings perfect

[@RoadiesGotWood]

I just love your tree work videos ! Great job as always!!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thank you very much!!

[@hagiwoodworks7759]

Mini skid steers are absolutely the best for any yard work. A full size machine can’t fit everywhere and do more damage to yards

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I agree, they are quite capable

[@ChrisSpaulding-em3qr]

Great job jake and Chris !!!!!!!

[@Ns90212]

That freaking tracked chipper is a beautiful machine, love to have one here in canada… maybe someday… beauty .. would be a excellent addition to my business

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It’s a beast!

[@DavidKloza]

I like tree work videos but I love cheese cake special videos. Keep up the good work!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I always enjoy seeing a good cheesecake special unfold 😂

[@steveweyers8394]

Cool equipment! I enjoyed the video.

[@anchorworks7241]

I like tree work, and firewood cutting

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

Nice video guys! It's neat to see what you guys can do. The variety is good! - Tim

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks I find this more interesting than firewood

[@hankjordan2602]

Tree work is good keep it up.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good job, especially around the electrical service 👍 I think the technology has advanced enough with the mini and medium sized equipment where it's feasible to use them in suburban areas almost exclusively. Obviously in more rural areas where there is typically larger/older trees you'll probably still need the big equipment 🤷 Pretty sweet that you didn't have to haul away the chips. I enjoy the tree work videos.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

If we swapped out my pick up for the international we could have hauled wood away as well. I’ve tried to build a very versatile equipment lineup.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

@DudeRanchDIY from what I've seen from your videos, you have succeeded in versatility. Glad you don't get locked into "what works" and are always looking for improvements

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello guys, nice work with nice equipment makes a job a lot more fun for sure👍🇺🇸

[@DudeRanchDIY]

That’s for sure

[@matthewbray9361]

Awesome treework video!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Pretty nice chipper!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thank you

[@jerrybriscoe4735]

Great job guy good team work

[@davidkett4584]

Im in the Uk, love all your videos, keep em comin 👍

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@michaelmiller8914]

In my eyes, it takes tree work to make firewood. Firewood logs don't magically appear. Good jobs guys!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Finally someone with some logic 😂

[@marcjoanis6862]

Good job guys

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks

[@wvscotty2055]

Great job.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thank you for watching

[@peteanderson1714]

cool equip

[@davewarner5704]

oh yeah. like the tree work stuff mixed in. lotsa people do splitting only and that gets kinda old.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I agree

[@nicolaisvlog8701]

nice setup, im a arborist to, im still in in the process of finding out what would fit me best of having.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Nice there’s lots of great equipment out there to choose from!

[@nicolaisvlog8701]

yes if you are rich 😅

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Gotta spend money to make money. Buying my Kubota tractor when I first started out was the best thing I ever did.

[@RobertFramejr]

Hey Jake how are you doing I like watching tree work

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks Robert

[@EdKeen-sr5xs]

Like it

[@Nitroxdude]

How much does that chipper cost ??

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I believe the fixed undercarriage units are about 60k

[@Nitroxdude]

@ thanks 👍 Really nice equipment you guys got there

[@davidwoodley8261]

this is what most tree companies set ups are in the uk

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Yep very effective for certain types of jobs.

[@TheLandscapeGiant]

I gota get me a track chipper

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Awesome tool to have in the arsenal!

[@marcbaker0650]

I don't get the appeal of that chipper for residential tree work. For line clearance I could see its purpose but For the money you probably spent on that thing you could get a used 15" chipper and be so much more efficient feeding it with a mini skid. Best of luck.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The company gave it to me for free man. It’s very convenient to be able to drive it directly to the tree. I have the equipment to haul away wood if necessary and a 16” mirabel chipper for the bigger removals.

[@facelesspsycho8252]

Chipper looks like a gimmick

[@willdavidsonakawd3062]

They also have them where they are fully remote control

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It’s a 55hp 8” capacity chipper on tracks designed for steep terrains. It’s not a full size tracked chipper…
