Taking Down Some Big Trees!

helping zach take down some big trees near a house

[@ngtflyer]

A machine is only as good as the operator, who can judge a machine's capability and use it to his best advantage. That being said, that little Kubota did some fine work there!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

You weren’t BSing on big trees! Looks like the kubota handled them well! You and Zach going to Bunyan? Be cool to see you guys there!

[@1armedguy4]

Beautiful straight log, perfect for the sawmill I'd say !

[@regsparkes6507]

Wow,..what beautiful pines!

[@arkansas1336]

Thanks for the GREAT video. Those big trees reminded me of my logging days. ....13

[@63256325N]

That Kabota's a tough little rascal! Thanks for the video.

[@stephenlindsey9233]

Kubota seems to work well. God bless you

[@donbraden8533]

Yep those were definitely some BIG trees nice job guys 😎👍

[@jeffklecan9329]

That was a lot of big pine trees hopefully Zack put a little cash in your pocket but then friends help each other out I was raised that way nice video Chris

[@IntegraDIY]

Video quality is sharp and crispy, good stuff

[@paulwhited117]

Kubotas do a pretty good job for size to weigh huh. I own a kubota and love it. Always surprises me what it can do and the speed vs smooth ability. Great video. Ty

[@680pookie]

that kubota has a set of nutz for a little machine lol

[@peterhaan9068]

...and it's quiet too! That's a BIG plus in my book!

[@Gimblevalve]

Thanks for sharing, my pleasure as always, Gimb 👍

[@andrewc9234]

when it comes to a mini ex ill take a kubota over any other make all day long, their 8 ton is a thing of beauty

[@andrewc9234]

i like deere anything between 13 and 35 ton, not much experience on equip bigger than that but minis kubota 1000%

[@FloHilux69]

I'm working with Kubota and Wacker Neuson in the mini class. I prefer Wacker Neuson for 3,5t and Kubota 057 for the 5 t class.

[@charlesbourgeois9029]

My 040 blows my mind all the time. I dont understand how 9k lbs can do so much work.

[@watchthe1369]

I thought that tree was smoking on the end, the way it lined up with the burn pile.... Paint those wood discs black and red, play excavator checkers.

[@leol1682]

Like the video and the little Kubota exc.

[@nickklubek1768]

That Kubota seemed to handle the logs pretty good

[@thederrick1966]

that little Kubota is a good machine to pick up all that

[@joeleppinett1896]

It did what y'all need to Dow good job.

[@shootersoptiontargets]

logger wade would be proud! Great video!

[@TheOtherBill]

6:45 Chris tries the "Tower of Hanoi" puzzle - large version.

[@robfraley4210]

That’s some Good wood there... We have a 110’+ Old pine in our back yard IF you want it.?? 😎

[@12ozbuds]

Those were some really nice logs.

[@briangardiner1015]

Nice job Zach and Chris

[@judsonpratt2543]

Kubota was an animal.. nice work boys

[@george8873]

Impressive lifting for such a small machine.

[@calebsimth4562]

Well pine is light wood. Not very dense

[@parkermichael620]

How long do you think it would take to clear 10 acres with this size machine. Nothing big 8 or 10in pine tress some brush bushes etc.

[@johndaniels7213]

Fun to watch. Thanks

[@1armedguy4]

At least you admit it Chris, anything other than a vulva are quick ! lol

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Thanks Chris, them are some Big Trees and that Excavator has some power 🖒

[@KyleMorpheus]

Thats a strong lil machine there!

[@njblanchard2618]

just curious what are you going to do with the stumps? and how come your cutter has no hard hat no gloves? guess he has alot of ins, or you do

[@golftooter]

if a branch falls from that high it splits a hat. Most cutters don't wear gloves

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Good lumber!

[@johnhenderson8360]

Nice logs!!

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

Looks like a KX-57 too me. That “little” Kubota excavator will still set you back 100k new ! That’s just crazy !

[@paulwhited117]

A. Ellenburg 100k? With 30 buckets maybe. Lol. More in the upper 60’s range.

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

Paul Whited Look at Kubota’s web site ......

[@ZachsTreeService]

Nope its a 100k machine

[@paulwhited117]

Man you guys are looking at wrong dealer then. I don’t know. Maybe they lie to me. Lol

[@CrazyEye75]

I believe it. I just got a price on a new kx040 and it was $75,000

[@Josefrosty]

LetsClear18! lol really enjoy the videos!

[@bebo5558]

When you got done tippin trees, did you have to start digging stumps?

[@dalelawrence99]

Man where are you at? I’ve worked for Ahern Rentals for 17 years and when I saw the Ahern Sticker on that Kubota I was intrigued.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

I'm surprised that Kubota is handling those logs as well as it is. Where's the ole 250 when ya need it?

[@scottmallery1202]

To The Top Crane we use ours on the daily with trunks so big we have to put a strap around them to put on the truck these are nothing for this machine!

[@ToTheTopCrane]

scott mallery, that's impressive for a machine that size. Enough so, that if I were in the market for one, I'd give them a serious look.

[@josiahlindberg9689]

I got one at work and we use it to place 3000 lb lock blocks for retaining walls

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

Seems Zach likes dropping those last few into the burn pile, lol.

[@scottmallery1202]

Now you boys need a stump grinder! Lol

[@1995jug]

Got some fine saw logs there.

[@boitanoexcavation3564]

Kubota? Finally you’re on a real machine :)

[@shawnjerome8599]

Finally on a real mini, Love kabota

[@willstroff7483]

Man I like the videos you put up. Do you have hats with your logo

[@mikearmstrong7830]

Was he wearing spray on chainsaw protection on his legs?

[@chipps1066]

These videos of other people workin' are great!LOL!

[@daleslawncare3909]

it is hard to find a place to put the camra in the cab on those excovaters

[@FloHilux69]

tractorkid 101 not really

[@robertrockwell7581]

going to be some nice lumber.

[@njblanchard2618]

really well wearing a tin pot you don't have those problems and gloves should always be used safety safety safety

[@Dudemieser]

When Ahern...... I think that's how you spell it....... when they set up shop on the East Coast for some reason they didn't buy anything over here on the East Coast we hauled a lot of it out of Las Vegas and New Mexico and Phoenix over to North Carolina before them

[@GeekboyNC]

Where were you that the ground was that dry? Wake County is a swamp and the prediction is for several more days of heavy rain. I guess your project lake is full by now.

[@davidbailey5006]

How did you like that Kubota? Compared to yr Yanmar?

[@letsdig18]

its a quick little machine, its also brand new lol

[@Roadhammer33]

I'm a rig driver for Ahern out here in Colorado. We are getting more and more new equipment all the time. I remember in one of your other videos you had one of our reach forks, I think it was an 8K. Anyway, thanks for your business.

[@richardofoz2167]

Could have made the sawyer's job easier if you'd lifted the trunk above the cut rather than below it. That way, the cut would have opened up with the log's weight and he wouldn't have had to drive his chain bar and chain into the dirt to finish the cut.

[@HuntGamingProductions]

Logger wade approves of this video

[@HughzieTube]

Does zach measure the logs to the size the mill wants them or the size of his truck?

[@ZachsTreeService]

I Was cutting 12" 6' mostly. They goto a lumber mill about 45 min away.

[@FiremanSVFD-cf1jn]

TAWZace what was the overall length of the trees. Looked like some nice light poles if u had a 18 wheeler load or two.

[@brianwebber7168]

Do you have to put the kubota back on the key chain when you're done?😂 Big project, small budget.

[@davevanden1]

damn nice logs for a house

[@MrScotttraynor]

your leaving the stumps?

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

Is that one of the new 5.5 t they have just brought out on market ?

[@FloHilux69]

Roland Elliott at least here in Europe it has been around for more than a year

[@kirk467]

Those are some man killers there brother, y’all be careful!

[@guyfmcarolina968]

I've never seen a angle blade on a big escavator. Do they make them??

[@curtschott3058]

I've ran them all... Kubota by far out performs all of them.

[@nectcruiser]

If you keep doing all these loggin vids your gonna hahave to go to that loggin show with Logger Wade and Cotontop3

[@waynetharp]

How does that saying go??? "Once you go Orange... You will never go back!"

[@MrScotttraynor]

just ask any woman who sleep with trump, they'd laugh in your face ;)

[@dantegatling6204]

What about the stumps? I would have dug around roots and pushed over. Kill two birds with one stone. Great job tho.

[@kb7722]

Now work on your culvert install skills and you'll be a regular Logger Wade!

[@davidquandt2409]

Chris, what does it feel like to run a real excavator compare to your new 250? 😜

[@conradkassner1366]

Would you trade your yanmar for that kubota?

[@crmowing4852]

I like that kubota

[@MrFrankturbo1]

How do you like the Kubota ?

[@calebsjunkremovalservice7593]

How do you like the kx080?

[@FloHilux69]

Caleb's Junk Removal Service pretty sure that's a kx057

[@calebsjunkremovalservice7593]

WazzUppFLO you are correct! I went back and watched the unloading video.

[@janvandenbos7085]

Staking down some big trees Chris and coton top

[@eddybrennessel2910]

Do you run with excavator controls or backhoe controls?

[@Rwededyet]

Yes, Robert Plant's "Big Log" was good background music for this video.

[@kb7722]

What happened to his saw man?

[@46rambo49]

ya just don't see fellers using a Spencer tape much anymore

[@davidbailey5006]

How do I get ahold of Zach?

[@KevinMBean]

Are those trees being taken down just because they're too close to the house?

[@ZachsTreeService]

yes they are. Zach here.

[@KevinMBean]

TAWZace I understand why they wanted them gone, but they lost some good shade from those trees. Like the excavator!

[@ZachsTreeService]

they really never shaded the house anyhow. I really like it too. Rented it for a month.

[@kennythe603carey3]

We Cut down trees like that and bigger almost every day

[@stevenwalls7215]

That kubota looks as strong as a valvo I guess u might be thinkin of changein brands

[@danielscoggan8004]

I don't claim to be a posy sniffer or a lizard lover but it always makes me a little sad when I see big beautiful trees like that fall to the ground I know they're big money logs it just seems a shame

[@scottmallery1202]

Daniel Scoggan the mills around me won’t even buy pine only want hard wood around here

[@danielscoggan8004]

I knew someone would have a reply full of hate

[@scottlong6308]

Trees are living things and like all living things, they have a limited life span( it might be 100's of years but it's limited). Really big ones are getting up in age. I believe it's better to harvest them while they are still useful. Than to let thwm die of old age and go to waste.

[@peanut6726]

That's not full of hate, it's true. And Godamned funny😂

[@golftooter]

That is what pulp trees are for. These big ones will go to a mill.

[@Graveltrucking]

The 57-4 is a good machine the company I work for has nothing but Kubota machines 4 ton to 8 ton, got 8 of them, the KX91 is the quickest machines of all of them you run them at full rpm you've gotta be a smooth operator. I like the 57 ours is on steel tracks we can move it on the back of the 5 ton truck. Where I live the money is in the midi machines, they work more than the 200 size hoes.

[@paulwhited117]

Graveltrucking I agree. I demo’d a bunch of different brands and the kubota was the best weight to power ratio for me. I own the 91-3 and it surprises me everyday what it will do. And yes it is way faster than others. To me anyway. Love the kubotas. I’m always being told when I pull up to a job that I need a bigger excavator till the job is done then I’m always hearing how it’s A workhorse.

[@charleshodge5023]

Paul Whited I have a 91-3 too and sometimes it baffles me with its power to weight ratio - will lift half its own weight close in, crazy strong and fast

[@stevenmurata4392]

Hope your Volvo rep isn't watching, lol.

[@arborist460]

I was hopin to see it pick up 16'ers outta those white oak....

[@ZachsTreeService]

I cut two `12s and then a 16 for the last log.

[@patrickjohnson5106]

you need the 160

[@hillsidetreeservice]

Idk if it’s the camera angle but the bucket looks bent

[@stevehansen5389]

KUBOTA??

[@markworley3980]

You didn’t call logger Wade

[@davidhaley7053]

Tree cutting fails get great views... Just saying... Lol

[@golftooter]

Tell that to CotonTop and Logger Wade!

[@crmowing4852]

First comment

[@taxiforcraig]

Where's the big excavator

Sponsored by myralax...

[@kresimirmarkov5626]

I have kubota its blue im 12

[@garycooper4982]

look small for you lol

[@kennythe603carey3]

Those are small trees

[@rrkreutz2]

Why do people remove all those beautiful trees from from around their homes? If you don't want trees, move to the city!!!

[@george8873]

rrkreutz2 Lower insurance premiums. Plus could be a future build site for something.

[@joerobinson7224]

rrkreutz2 them dam pines ant nuthan but lightin rods git beetles an die thin no1 will take'm

[@Eric_Cleckler]

@@joerobinson7224 I have 2 biguns in my front yard that have gotten beattles and died.

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

#1 BC It’s America the last time I checked and if you pay for you can cut them down.

[@mattsbrute]

I removed the trees close to my house so I dont have to worry about them in a storm. Rest of my yard has a bunch of trees plus the 64 trees I planted. I had a 195 year old Silver Maple take out my brand new truck 5 or 6 years ago. Its not gonna happen twice.

Don't like the thumb it has on it tho
