You wasn't joking when you said she was big. Lord have mercy. Always enjoy watching your videos Chris. God Bless you and yours brother. Keep up the amazing work.

[@davidbrickey5925]

Created nice looking yard there. Nice looking job 👍☕️🍀

[@shaneherman8906]

"I'll be nice and take this other stump out also while I'm here for the customer". Now how many times has anybody heard a contractor speak those words. Only Chris. That's what separates Chris, from the rest. Nice work as always brother👍👊💪

[@tracydavis3149]

That's the truth. Only Chris would do that. He's a good person and a wonderful friend. Good job guys.

[@bolddavis]

What part of the country is this?

[@maryschillinger2909]

Chris is in North Carolina

[@tituspullo1957]

Man that's a nice looking KW.We had a huge white oak that luckily got cut down before it could fall on the house.You can pretty much guarantee one thing depends how a tree falls on a house even after repairs it will never be same because of the impact to the foundation.

[@AndyM.]

DUDEZILLA! The end of the video when you take out the other stump is what makes you stand out! It's the stuff like this that makes customers ALWAYS recommend you to others!!!!! The little things add up!!!!

[@stephenhunter70]

The log you pushed back into the woods would make some real interesting table tops too.

[@kevinmcmullan100]

Should've brought that 6' oak log to Matt Cremona. His home made bandsaw mill would've cut some great slabs worth a lot of cash.

[@krover01]

That brush pile is going to be home to all kinds of critters!

[@george8873]

Logs that big allows you to cut table top sized slabs 2 or 3 inches thick that are worth hundreds of dollars each, maybe even more if the grain patterns are amazing. You need a big ass sawmill though, lol. Anyway, was wondering if you'd rip out that other stump when I first seen it. And you did. You're a nice guy Chris.

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Perfect job for stress relief. Looks fun

[@jbbuzzable]

I remember a big cottonwood stump. The tree had been felled, with 3 ft. remaining. The customer wanted it cut as close to the ground as possible. My 36" inch bar reached the middle with maybe a 1/2 " to spare. I worked my way around the stump and met up exactly with my starting cut. The stump fell straight down and pinched the bar, with no remaining uncut wood. I was pretty experienced, but nobody is that good.

This looks like so much fun. I am watching this dreaming of driving tractors instead of working an IT job. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

Summer. Winter OUTSIDE weather dictates work.

[@22gonefishing]

That's why Zack was over helping you grind up the logs/brush on your fence line, he needed some help with that tree.

Great job. Would love to see you go back in 6 months for a re-cap

[@ottoroth9377]

A lot of people do not realize it, but just running an excavator, dozier, bob cat, etc., can wear you out too! To them looks easy!

[@bradleybottom6330]

I love your channel. I retired 35 years a license general contractor. I loved doing this stuff. Great job. I bet you make slot of money. My problem was hiring good workers.

I hope Zach brought extra chains,saws,balls,and whatever it will take.i like the way you take on these small jobs with your cohorts.impressive as always😎😎👍👍

I wish I lived close to this place, I would love to have some of the medium branches for projects, cut them into slabs and boards and make stuff.

[@lumberjack7923]

first time I've EVER seen someone ACTUALLY know how to run a chainsaw !!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB ON BUCKING TREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

Lots of good wood for the saw mill or for the fireplace on a cold day.

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

I have a firm belief once you get all the quirks out of the Orange Hitachi someone will be highly interested in buying it from you with a little more cash in hand. I see a trend, another Volvo will fall into the market and you are going to grab it, just you wait. It's good to see someone who takes initiative and rebuilds something that still has worth.

[@roseanna9100]

Zach’s saw got the job done and that’s all that matters, too many people got all the gear but no idea, as Chris shows with him having to put other people’s mistakes right.

[@robertphillips41]

it'd be funny as hell if you went back in a few years and found that the big stump had started to grow sucker saplings off it.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

The part with all of the branches that you put in the woods would have made some good looking slabs if there was anybody doing that in the area.

[@shariclegg5273]

I wondered why that didn't get taken somewhere.

[@willemstreutgers1154]

Those parts were split by crash of the tree.

[@Barnagh1]

I can’t believe all that oak wasn’t used as firewood by someone, oak is the very best.

That 6BG1 turbo intercooled Isuzu is one sweet engine. I have worked on a lot of them.

[@danevans7214]

I have been seeing the work that you do and all of the work you do is outstanding, keep up the great work.

[@schweeb9113]

Sure glad I'm not the only one impressed with the Kenworth that got the excavator to the job. 👍

[@regsparkes6507]

That was interesting! What a load of oak lumber that will make,..I hope.

[@Sqtgdog]

The slabs that trunk will make..... some lucky sawmill is going to have one heck of a satisfying day.

[@joerhodes2494]

If it wasn't oak, some wood turners club would have liked the stump. Makes for nice grain in your pieces. Oak's a bit tough for most turners, though.

[@johnscott2849]

I think you made the Hitachi mad when you bought the Volvo.

[@videolabguy]

Naw. Leave the two of them alone for an hour and you'll get a litter of Kubotas in the spring.

[@Nathan-gj8ch]

A oak like that size fell in my property spanning over a creek 20 years ago and it is still there and still massive

[@watchthe1369]

A winter of firewood, a house full of heirloom oak furniture, and maybe enough profit from slabs to pay for the clean up?

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

that oak stump is worth a lot of money to someone making wood turnings like bowls.

[@warrenmichael918]

bowls? Damn man thats a big bowl! My ex wife needs a bowl that size but nobody else needs one i wouldnt imagine

[@cathiwim]

It would take the worlds biggest lathe to turn it! You could use hand tools and lancelot tools and turn it into a bathtub!

[@jwdickinson643]

that looked like a gorgeous black walnut tree!!!!

[@GARDENER42]

Someone making those "rustic" tabletops would pay good money for that lump stuck in the woods - put it on Ebay: "collect from roadside..."

[@humbleheart7196]

There aren't many noncommercial bandsaws that can handle that load. Bet that log in the pile would have some great figure in it. Where is Matt Cremona when you need him!

When Tirek destroyed the Ponyville library tree they dug up the root ball and hung it from Twilights castle ceiling. A task which looks even more impressive seeing the Volvo struggle :o)

If something gives you a “Fit”, Dig a Larger Hole and put the Person or Item in the Hole. 😬 👍

[@omegaseamaster1550]

[@TonyGeneseo]

Damn !!! Judging by the water that filled the hole u dug for stump I'd guess that wet area was why it grew in leaps and bounds and probably also contributed to more surface roots rather than deeper tap roots to keep it locked in. U think ?

[@mlb556]

DIY wood crafters would love to get ahold of a 72" slice of wood. Make nice coffee tables, couch tables etc.

There is enough board feet in that tree to build a house. I can't believe a local mill wouldn't want it.

[@benfranklin5255]

I would hope a mill would want that. You could get some beautiful slabs out of that. Full sized table slabs.

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

Most mills don’t want tree that came from residential areas . To much risk of sawing into steel . And in the mill I work in we couldn’t get it in the mill it’s so big .

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

😀👍👍🍁

[@ThatcherKSA]

lot of the mills have saws for the average tree size to mass cut the forested timber, that log probably would require a special mill.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

How lucky was it that it fell in that direction. I had nearly all of the large trees in my yard taken down when lightning hit one in the front of my house and dropped a massive branch in the middle of the road in a storm. It took eight of us to clear it all, in the storm, thankfully my neighbors chainsaw was was much better, and sharper, than mine.

[@boltactionshooter]

I'm from the south and you don't waste your time dealing with massive oaks like that down here. Far too big, heavy, twisted grain and time consuming to handle and split. Especially when there is unlimited amounts of smaller trees to use for firewood that make use of time and energy about a 1000 times over this. I own a tree service and we dispose of these monsters the easiest way possible.
