Your reference to working with others reminded me that I never would have known about you or your channel if you had not worked with Chris at letsdig18. I had been watching his channel and when you came on, it caught my attention and I have been following you since then.

[@cotontop3]

Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GeneWalters-y6w]

You need to weld some points on your grapple to be able to grab the wood.

[@henryoppermann134]

Boy that saw is handy on the grapple! Sweet set up!

[@joejohnson7097]

That's a monster tree, 2 sticks just about fill up the trailer. When it hit the ground, I could fill it in the video. Thanks for the video

[@terryfuller8724]

That would be a nice log to sell to a sculptor for a wood carving or a raw edge table build.

I use to be into logging and when I was into logging I use to run a 880 stihl with a 3 and 4 foot bar on it along with full skip chains on it and when it came to big pieces like that I use to use a kubota l4400 with a bucket on the front of it to lift big pieces of wood like those into my dump trailer or pack them home with my l4400 I would get them big pieces of wood home and I would take my 880 and split the wood with it rather than useing a splitter sometimes my l4400 wouldn’t be able to lift some of the pieces so I would take my 880 and cut them in half and when I was splitting it I would pick those big pieces of wood up by hand and I would roll two logs together and I would make me what I call splitting bench and then I would pick up the big pieces of wood by hand and I would set them down on the splitting bench and I would have at them with my 880 I got the pieces down to where that I could lift them by hand and to go into our arrow wood burning stove that we had with big pieces of wood like that you were cutting and that I use to cut I was able to get five pieces of wood out of one of them big pieces I wound up going length ways on the log and going in half until I got the wood to where that it wood fit in our wood burning stove I don’t do logging anymore because people never paided me for doing it and that I didn’t want to have to go out and get all of the loomanady bullshit in order to have a job when I was logging I did it without all of the loomanady bullshit

I felt the thump here at my house and I live in central Kentucky. Lol. Have a great week.

[@cotontop3]

That's awesome, you too!

[@russellmclaney6322]

That Hyundai is a BEAST!!

[@jbss7382]

Oh my good lord! I cannot believe the land owner is NOT keeping the oak as firewood! Oak burns at one of the hottest temps and gives off the best calorific value So wish I lived Stateside and near you I’d gladly have the oak 🥰🥰🥰🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏😁

[@rw3dog]

Awesome job ! Having that Grapple is really the best..

[@rickstafford5316]

So very cool. Great work

[@glennmoore3764]

One stick of that would be a pile of pulpwood

[@annlaurie1484]

Another beautifully finished job, well done all of you. 😊

[@richardlemnah3572]

Great work from everyone Tim! That’s a huge tree!

[@tonybrown737]

That tree was a hoss!!

[@nathanbrodeur]

Tim that tree was huge in weight

[@royceabbottsexcavation3709]

That’s a big ol boy!

[@cotontop3]

It was definitely a hoss

[@davidandersen5134]

That 881 is about like hanging onto a 500 Kawasaki... Any idea how much you had on that Trailer? Bet is was a hell of a load! Nice job to all involved!

[@jeffedwards9039]

Awesome work Tim and crew! Finished product is on point

[@douglasdonegan9372]

My old vermeer 665 loves those giant stumps

[@aaronjackson5862]

Thought fer a second that you were the green guy and your orange suit was in the laundry 😂

[@robertgreen8695]

Thank him for his service. This is from a retired Army missile tech.

[@robertgreen8695]

Sthil cuttin good after all these trees and years. How long have you had this beast now?

[@oliviervester8464]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 dam nice work wel don

[@cotontop3]

Thanks 🔥

[@PurpleNovember]

What’s the furthest you’ve seen limbs fly? We had a dry dead oak limb about 4” diameter about 3’ long puncture shed just under 200’ from where the tree landed.

[@rickhamm3962]

Was wondering if you counted the rings?

[@jamesnelson6848]

Mega tree 👍👍

[@keithdunlap2701]

Wow !! Tim, I have a question ? I also have an Oak about the same size if not a little Bigger, I know it's gonna sound like a dumb question but, what would one like that cost to just get trimmed up ? I would think a few thousand dollars !! The limbs on mine are at least 12-16 in. on the biggest ones, ya know and smaller as ya go up !! just would like to have an idea of the cost, I'm disabled, and live on a fixed income so, gonna take awhile to save up to be able to get someone out here to do it. And I live here in Western Ky. in Hopkins County to be exact !! about 45 min. east of Ky. Lake. Thanks !! and Great Video as always...

[@cotontop3]

Really depends on if what's trimmed can be dropped or everything will have to be rigged down.

[@rickhamm3962]

How big at stump?
