Removing Big As* Trees ... plus Quotes!

[@tillerjets]

The calls/texts/emails thing hit the nail on the head

[@metaspencer]

it becomes a job all its own!

[@sporranheid]

Big Ash. Big thumbs up. 👍 (We call black raspberries "brambles" in Scotland).

[@metaspencer]

brambles! no fun to fall into but lots of fun to nibble on

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Nice work on the Big ASH trees.

[@metaspencer]

Thanks buddy! more dead ash trees around here than you can shake a crumbling ash stick at :)

[@rickstafford5316]

What a sick ash job. Nice work Crazy bids.

[@metaspencer]

Hahahahha there ya go! Exactly

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

Perfect form man. Excellent cutting, and setups. I always enjoy watching. Have a great weekend.

[@metaspencer]

Great to hear! Thanks buddy

[@SidonianTree]

“Job so far has consisted of trying to get people to get their cars out of the way…” 😂 people have no idea most tree guys double as valets

[@metaspencer]

You said it man ... gotta wear a lot of hats out there haha

[@ClimbingColt]

100 percent agree! Usually rental/apartment complexes are the worst!

[@metaspencer]

@@ClimbingColt the renters were like "Whaaaat? We never heard you were coming"

[@MikeBrooks12550]

Hey Spencer, nice work. Lots of hassles, well handled.

[@metaspencer]

thanks buddy -- yeah, sometimes the headaches kick in ... you know how it is

[@redbudfarm]

Lot of good firewood you just got!

[@metaspencer]

Oh yeah! will be splitting it this weekend ... you know how those trees are: already nice and dry

[@carlobernardi1387]

My friend... You see the yellow small bus is the best thing ever😊😊.. hand loading sucks????? Now we have to work on one other very important piece of equipment 😊...

[@metaspencer]

A company actually sent me a chipper for FREE today ... one of those mini little electric units. we'll see how it goes haha

[@VeteranTreeService]

The book will say notch the tree above the clothes line. Make sure to hold the saw overhead when cutting. 👍 I got your back.

[@metaspencer]

books don't lie! another question for the test ;)

[@knittingthestash]

hahah. loved this!

[@metaspencer]

thanks love!

Another great video, Spencer! That mini skids power is still so impressive to me Bid #1 - did you give them a price or tell em you can’t do it? And how often have you told folks you can’t do jobs? All the best

[@metaspencer]

yeah that mini brings the power for sure -- so nice to move that amount of material so quickly. As for that first bid (the super rotten maple) I thought long and hard about it and devised a way that I think I'll be able to get it down. So I bid the job and they accepted the offer. I bought one extra rope I'll need for the job and I will likely post a vid about it before too long. sketchy, but I think it'll work out. With that said, though, I DO turn away jobs every few weeks. It happens

[@gwheel3502]

@@metaspencer Thanks for the reply, always find it interesting what you do and appreciate the time you take to share.

[@gregbrown9271]

Good job on those dead ass trees Spencer 😂

[@metaspencer]

they were pretty toasted out

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

I didn't like you climbing that dead tree. Thanks for taking us along.

[@metaspencer]

It wasn't a leaning tree and was actually pretty solid -- but always nice to get down on planet earth again ;)

[@danny8block]

Did you hive up after this job? I see a lot of poison ivy that you touched lol

[@metaspencer]

No I washed good afterwards… the stuff is everywhere around here

[@TimsTreeServiceCT]

You're brave climbing those big dead As* trees. They are brittle!

[@metaspencer]

Stayed on the trunk on that one and no lean -- when they're punky or need limb work or have lean, I keep my feet on the ground

[@mreggbird]

Is that still that china-skidsteer going strong?

[@metaspencer]

second, bigger machine ... I moved into a bigger one that can lift more. no problems with the first one it was just on the small side

[@williamrehberg2546]

The tree was not kind to the "Be Kind" sign...😂

[@metaspencer]

the brutality! :)

[@BigBlackTruckDave]

Big Ash trees all goin bye bye. I think its some japanese bug thats killed them all. Pretty wood too, you should get that milled.

[@metaspencer]

yeah the wood is pretty solid if you don't leave them standing too long ... I was at a property the other day with 58 dead ash trees. crazy stuff

[@BigBlackTruckDave]

@@metaspencer WOW, its all goin away.

[@VeteranTreeService]

Funny title

[@metaspencer]

a lot of them big ashes around here haha

[@BTimmer]

When's the ground crew going to get a raise? Maybe then they'd show up and be productive ?

[@metaspencer]

Big money! yeah, that's likely what the demands will be at the bargaining table :)

[@julianalderson3938]

Funny with the ground crew but i dont understand.

[@metaspencer]

I joke about having a crew sometimes ... but I'm the crew

[@julianalderson3938]

Yer have lota room lot to do tho. 1 guy

[@metaspencer]

I love it all from the tree tops to the rake handle

[@julianalderson3938]

Just one guy help?

[@metaspencer]

one guy ... that's how I roll

[@ianbarnett6027]

You have to sort your ground crew out. Get your leaders Trump or Biden to sort it out.

[@metaspencer]

When I find the crew I'll let them know there are leaders somewhere

[@southernrebel159]

Hmmm, dying ass tree....

[@metaspencer]

yup you said it
