All those years in the woods cutting for your dad has prepared you for this exact moment and season in life! Hope you have continued success!

[@vernt4583]

Tim definitely has the best touch of anyone on running the grapple and loaders!!! Experience shows. He’s earned his stripes and moving on with his career!!!

[@randycarpenter2914]

I had just told my wife that saw is letting you work in the comfort of ac. Saves the back and keeps you out of the heat of summer, and it's warm in winter. Providing safe work for you.

[@dtraywick27]

Anybody complaining about you buying that setup must have never limbed trees in the south during the summer. I like that head, it seems to have better control than others I've seen

[@jamesfranks545]

Tim that grapple saw is a time saver, back saver and possibly a life saver. Especially on a big ol bushy top like that with those big limbs holding it up. People don't realize how much tension those things are under. Cut the wrong limb with a chainsaw and she will roll right onto you. I lost a good friend that was a lifelong logger just that way. After he didn't come home that afternoon he was found around midnight after a huge limb had crushed his head. Anytime you can minimize the dangers I say it's worth every penny....plus its cool as hell lol.

[@davidandersen5134]

So nice to see a master tree feller at work! And the Rotobec is a real game-changer! Not cheap by any means, but not nearly as expensive as a Back operation! Compared to my Tree Shear, the productivity of the Grapple Saw for clearing Locust looks amazing!

[@joewlosjosephwlos5713]

Thought it was cool to hear your process while cutting and moving the tree around, great vid. Cheers !

[@cotontop3]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pauliossi2674]

the new machine is a monster, fast and safe, keeping you out of the danger zone is worth the price to say nothing about the labor savings and increased production.

[@gmass7238]

The reason he got this people, is because as you get older you work smarter... Awesome piece of machinery... I'm so glad for you... It's also a lot safer.... Congrats

[@carlwilliams1570]

You do residential tree work like a logger would! You feed your chipper with the grapple on a mini just like its done on a logging job instead of 3 or 4 ground men hand feeding a chipper. The grapple saw lets you cut up and buck everything instead of doing it on the ground with a chain saw. People just don't understand what they don't know. I will choose the cab when ever possible. Nice work!

[@kazbar7941]

OMG cant believe the saw cuts between the claws fantastic

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

The question they should be asking is why not. Just like you said”cause I’m in here in the a/c in a quiet cab not tripping all over the tree while running a saw.” Basically! The question is why wouldn’t you have it?!? 🤷🏽 I am a soil scientist in Georgia and I use a kx-18 kubota mini to dig test pits. Why would I want to hand dig holes 4-6’ deep when I can dig with an excavator. Work smarter not harder.

[@keithparker9027]

That tree was full of pine cones , good thing you got the rake for the mini

[@jdquebedeaux]

Thank you for sharing this with us Tim. I look forward to future videos of you guys with this equipment in action.

[@jamesrobertgrimes]

That pile looks like a good place to use a couple of straw bales and some cherry flavored fire water.

[@cotontop3]

It wouldn’t take much to get a fire going there.

[@PurpleNovember]

That stuff definitely isn’t cherry flavored, especially when it’s 20 years old with moisture in it 🤢🤮 and everyone else 🤣🤣🤣 I kept a check valve siphon in the truck after that and made sure my transfer pumps were working on a regular basis.

[@metlmuncher]

What a game changer for this type of work.. This is check mate level chess

[@cotontop3]

You are exactly right

[@floridabrushanddirt2482]

That grapple is awesome, I’m proud for you that will make life a lot easier. I may look at a Hyundai when I upgrade my Volvo 88. I would do more tree work if I had that grapple!

[@D-EagleMachines-on6dg]

The sound of chain saws always brings excitement to viewers

[@tymz-r-achangin]

Have always loved the shade that the pine trees provide but hate the pine cones that go EVERYWHERE and have to constantly be picked up or the mover deck flings them at a hundred miles an hour

[@keithdunlap2701]

Well, That's crazy why people would ask , why you got the saw !! lololol... I'll just say, "Here's Ya Sign" !! lololol.. There are just so many plus factors for having it, I think your whole set up is about as perfect as one could ask for.... Great Video Tim, Be safe out there !! Have a Great Day....

[@cotontop3]

Thank u sir, you too.

[@ScottTheMarine]

We’ve always had a saying that it’s easy to be hard but it’s hard to be smart. Why work harder when you can work smarter and that grapple seems pretty smart to me.

[@kimhollowell1224]

You're the best at bore cutting I ever saw.... impressive 😊

[@HaroldStevens-tu4nt]

You the man, I can't understand why anyone would question your motive. First time messaging! love watching the videos, only get to see them late at night. Thanks

[@farmerbob728]

You're totally correct about the safety factor. Walking through all those branches,, with a running chainsaw.. Yeah that's not dangerous?? Great way to take a trip to the Emergency room.. Have a fantastic rest of the week Tim.

[@toddgould5021]

You can not here the saw at all. In the cab.

[@tommartin9936]

Just look at all them brown Easter Eggs

[@mikefromwv1010]

You got it cause you wanted it. End of story. Doesn't take a genius to see how much labor saver it is.

[@sidzhottake]

My goodness what a sweet setup! Next upgrade? Bigger chipper or you're all good now?

[@carolinaditching5929]

That is awesome tool congratulations

[@demetresrobinson2694]

It's getting ready to get ridiculously hot outside in a few months. That being said, anyone of the keyboard warrior critics would much rather push a button in the a/c vs pull that gatortail trigger in the heat.

[@charlesandsandrafox2655]

Gabe is coming along great. You are teaching him well. New machine is great also.

[@jg6142]

I say the more tools you have in your toolbox is the way too go as long as you know how to use them! And you definitely do….

[@cotontop3]

Absolutely

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Have you tried to clamp the jaws loosely on to the to of the tree and slide the jaws along the length of the tree to shear all the branches off?

[@ellobo1326]

Amazing machine. Skilled operator.

[@jmwilson614]

People asking why pay 40k for a grapple saw... just have them pay payroll on about 5- 10 guys a year with Worker's Comp.. and matching their taxes. If somebody came up with the machine that can "limb-anate" that I wouldn't give a darn if it is 140k. I'm buying it.

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

That attachment is awesome! It’s worth every penny imo!

[@glennmoore3764]

That’s what I’m talking about!! That grapple saw is the best!! I would come work for you but you said only you and Kevin could run it. But if you change your mind let me know 😂

[@FL_Native_68]

Giving that saw a workout! Looks good.

[@cotontop3]

Right on 👍🏻

[@nancyshiarla7644]

Tim I'm so happy you've got machones etc to make your job easier work smarter not harder. Love watching your videos every day.

[@davestinson5691]

What a bad ass tractor. Congrats sir!!

[@oldman8268]

Hay Mr Tim, how much money does safety cost. Getting away from a downed tree for limb work has to be a huge safety factor for you or anyone in the industry. I just don’t get why some folks complain about what kind of equipment you buy too do your job.

[@patkelly7999]

Great job Tim and Gabe, that must make You're life so much easier Tim👌👍🙏🙂

[@eddiemays2113]

Having that to cut the limbs off is cheaper than if you cut by a saw and you are out of work for a while some people just don’t think before they say something and you can get your work done faster and can move on to another job so in the long run you are saving yourself money

[@terrysteelman6860]

You don't need to justify to others. You aren't in harms way

[@denzilsuttle6452]

Thank you for sharing !!! The new excavator I love it !!! My dream someday !!! Your a very talented individual God Bless you and your family !!! ❤🙋‍♂️👍😊

[@atabor1000]

That machine is AWESOME!!

[@cotontop3]

I think so too!

[@user-zw6kq9ed4u]

Well Tim that’s a game changer just how much pain is that going to save you over the next few years unfortunately we don’t get any younger 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

[@cotontop3]

Very true 👍🏻

[@PurpleNovember]

That’s what I think every time I see that thing working. It doesn’t take much trauma to the body before the perspective and way of thinking starts to change.

[@trailcamgeorgia]

Pine cones. Best fire starter!!

[@tonybrown737]

Awesome machine!!

[@markevans3027]

Congratulations on your awesome new equipment. I say, If you can afford it, why not.

[@bobbyblizzard8488]

Really impressive machine!

[@aubreyford9365]

Said the person that’s never waded off in the top of a huge pine.

[@cotontop3]

Truth lol

[@kubota1100able]

Very cool I understand because it saved you time my question how does the ram5500 pull your new Excavator keep up the awesome work on your KZbin channel

[@cotontop3]

It doesn’t even know it’s behind it.

[@PurpleNovember]

Any news on how big of a machine that grapple saw will be able to handle?

[@cotontop3]

They make different sizes of the grapple to go on a lot larger machines. They make one that will go on a 50 ton excavator but don’t have a saw option for that monster.

[@PurpleNovember]

@@cotontop3Limb Reaper has a significant weight advantage, the investment can be made a little sooner too if avoiding debt.

[@laneburgess1643]

The grapple saw is awesome.

[@jamesnelson6848]

The "Limb Reaper" reapin' 👍👍

[@Sinarglondong]

normal work, very cool

[@jameskemp5532]

🤫grapple saw = Work smarter, not harder!

[@sethmiller4250]

That’s cheating😂

[@cotontop3]

I like stacking the cards in my favor lol

[@gregallsup9522]

Awesome Job!!

[@cotontop3]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bradypayne7623]

you got it because you wanted it

[@TheWangbolizhong]

👍

[@eddiemays2113]

How you like that saw

[@gregorycook9991]

😎

[@dennisparisian7040]

Wow

[@nealcarson9886]

Do you know why Jason Hollis stopped putting videos on KZbin

[@cotontop3]

Yes sir.

[@davidmiller1483]

I have been wondering the same thing. Watched his daily post every morning.

[@cotontop3]

One of the last few videos he posted explains the situation. Currently they still haven’t been able to get back monetized.

[@nancyshiarla7644]

Michines

[@bryanchipps6572]

I get it

[@cotontop3]

I knew you would lol

[@JohnVanMeter58]

Save your back? It's a young man's game. But where are they. Old man cotton top pulls out the cash and keeps going. Am I wrong.

[@brianhubbard1621]

Roll on cotontop, how about an American flag somewhere on the boom
