Merlo MADNESS!!! The FASTEST tree removal I have ever seen in my life. Last job with Reon Rounds.

[@TexasRose50]

I’m a 71 year old lady and throughly enjoyed this. I love trees and gate to see them come down but I understand the need to have some removed. For 36 years I’ve trimmed my own trees but this year due to my physical condition I had to call a tree trimmer. Hated it, but had no choice. But I highly respect good tree trimmers. Have a blessed day!

I'm 67 and love to watch tree felling! My dad did lumberjack work in Maine when he was young. The farmers in the family did their own tree work. My dad cleared an entire field for a farm friend in this area. I have a few saws but would love to handle this large equipment. It's too awesome.

Looks like the truck alone is about 400k and i dont even think that comes with the cutting attachement.

[@jodypaul1950]

We have one at our company. I think the truck along with the wood cracking and cuttting attachment was $700,000

Same for me as a German with the Woodcracker cutting head. It's just great seeing those well engineered machines work together.

[@DonaldBiden]

As an Italian I find it amazing to see how many complex but very streamlined machines we have made, people think we are just the pasta guys but in reality we make alot of very advanced machines which bring alot of automation to tasks you would not have even have thought automation was possible for a decade ago.

[@jimratliff2753]

What a great presentation. The thing I liked about Reon is everything they do as a crew was smooth and slow and all of that equaled safety. All of those guys on the ground had safety helmets with microphones on them which provided for excellent communication and all of his equipment looked either new or in excellent shape as pride in ownership and pride in workmanship can't be beat. He looks like a class act.

What an amazing machine. Smaller so better access. No ropes, no rigging, less chance of injury. It's the future.

Reon sure was accommodating for filming and explained concepts well. Sure fun to watch him and his crew working, they are very organized and fast workers.

[@johnkeller441]

The machines you utilize make it so much less dangerous than climbing the tree and cutting. Of course, the crane takes the cuttings away without placing each one on a line and pulley. Glad to see a Wisconsin based tree service establish itself on KZbin. As a Central Wisconsin farm raised adult, I wish we had all this modern equipment when taking down our trees ravaged by Dutch Elm Disease. Keep up the great work and look forward to more videos.

Other half of me is ok with just a harness, spikes, old dump truck, ropes, and 3 chainsaws 1 pole saw. 2 part timers. Total investment 10k and almost 200k in billings.

[@yardvarkslawncare7866]

More than that lol

[@Treehandler]

Less headaches when you stay small but you’re limited. Each bucket truck can gross $1,000,000 in a year, so you add a machine that can cut that time by a 1/4 then you’re busting the opportunities wide open to 3x or 4x that gross revenue. Pay off the equipment in a few years then you’ve got a good stretch where you can improve productivity and building reputation.

Reon is unique on KZbin. You seldom find that variety of equipment in tree companies until you get to the really big outfits like Davey, and even there it is a side business due to the emphasis on right of way clearing.

The Merlo is basically a miniature feller buncher used in logging process. Actually surprised it has taken this long to bring to the tree service industry. It will do to this industry what the buncher did for logging. Save lives and limbs and improve operation efficiency by being much much faster. Can imagine as more competition in manufactures cost will come down and It won’t be long before every company goes this way and very little rigging and climbing trees will be required.

I saw one of these in operation, at our gun club ,in Alden, New York. I was a sight to behold. They took down the tree that was over a building, with no damage at all. It would have taken climbers, day to take it down. 4 hours from set up to cleanup, and it was done. My son and i took out the stump, with a Rayco stump grinder. We bith belong to the club, so it was our contribution to the project.
