This is my ARBORIST VAN

[@goodwinbrothersllc8721]

Dude your saws look like they just came off the shelf. I am a contract climber in the Pacific north west. Best arborist setup I have seen yet!!!

[@Arboristfi]

Goodwin Brothers LLC Thank you :). In a fact 2 saws are quite new and 880 is not used that much. Oldest ones are 8 years and almost in daily use.

[@tennesseeredxican8045]

I’m in Tennessee in the states it truly is a beautiful setup thank you for sharing

Damn nice setup, I wish more people thought like you and kept things organized, makes life much easier. Also jealous of that jacket, we can't get the stihl xtreem gear here in the US. I tried for the longest time to get them, no luck. stay safe!

[@Arboristfi]

P.R. Pursell. Thank you. My first aid kit is just "normal" packet under front seat. Most of the things you can do with only few equipments with you. Now I don't have enough time but when I have might show those.

[@falfield]

Bravo! Thank You for showing all of us this - it's brilliant organisation and strong evidence of a tidy mind . The hinged plate carrying the pulleys & prussiks to swing round for rear access is a master stroke, and I liked the tape around the tongs to find them in the snow too. You're clearly a strong fellow too - I'd have probably put the big saws at the bottom with the smaller ones over them, but I suppose if you're not needing the 880 out so often it will even things up over time. In English, the thing from your father whose name you didn't know is called a felling lever with a cant hook.

[@Arboristfi]

falfield, Thanks mate. It is so much easier to do if don't have to drive stump grinder inside the car. Extra wheels are going underneath.

fantastic vehicle, hope it's well locked up on a night! just got back from Finland and was very impressed with what I saw of your country and how well organised everyone I met was and even more impressive was how well you and most I met coped with English language. climb safe also.

[@Arboristfi]

Thank you. Van is locked, alarmed, and in safe place :). I knew it would be a small risk to update this video in here, but if someone wants to come and steal something, he will get caught. I am happy you liked about Finland. If you just came back home, you have seen Finland when we are not having the best weather. If you weren´t in Lapland :). Spring, summer and real winter is nice. Work safe.

[@dryad130]

Arborist. fi we were in lapland to take the children to enjoy the Christmas festivities but got away from that a bit and traveled north the see a bit of County side and visit the northern most zoo in the world, would now really like to return and see more countryside in full winter cover to ski and trek a bit.

[@treetime3043]

looks super nice brother! Personally, I don't like to carry to work all this equipment, I only take what I need... the reason is that my father got his van stolen 2 times with all the equipment inside as well... but that's over here, I guess in Finland there are not that many crimes.

[@Arboristfi]

I really understand that. Securing stuff is easier here. And for me it is good when we have it all with us. Then we can just go in every site, even before visiting there before.

[@ivanavijatov9266]

Bravo Mika!!!

[@georgelewisray]

THANKS:: for Sharing, very nice/organized/complete system. I wish I had a second language that was 1/10 as good as your english. COMMENT:: some of the small equipment names were difficult to understand so in future it would help to pay a bit more attention to audio/speaking-clear-slow , particularly for people like me who are trying to learn and do not already know the details you are discussing. IMPRESSION:: your operation/organization/personal impression is all VERY GOOD and such videos as this one will help a lot to advertise your business in the best way . . . . . thanks very much.

[@Arboristfi]

Thank you George very much about your comments. I will try to remember these things in next films. If you let me know minutes and seconds from film, like which equipments you would like to know more about, I will try to explain better.

[@7eis]

Impressive organizing! I now know why my van is so messy. I keep all sorts of tools not arborist related, and its a tiny Peugeot Partner that is also my daily driver. Haven't seen the floor of in in a while ;-) Maybe next year. Don't you have a manual winch, like a Tirfor, in there?

[@Arboristfi]

Hi. In my van there is also sometimes other (not tree related) stuff :). I have that winch in the box. I just dont use it anymore that often. Wire is not that nice to handle after having this winch with own engine.

[@bensmith9785]

Well organised van. What is the make of the capstan winch please? The tool handed down from your father we call a breaking bar here in the UK.

[@Arboristfi]

Thank you Ben. If you mean that winch with own engine it is Eder 1800. It have been really good. I have had it maybe 3 years now. Every day you have to learn something new, otherways you are too old ;). Today it was braking bar, thanks :).

[@spliinter]

Really nice set up. You are the first arborist I see using a that long tree jack, how do you rate it? why do you think so few people use it?

[@Arboristfi]

Hello. Thank you. I have been using those jacks about 10 years now and have been more than happy with them. I have 3 different size of them. Smallest one is nro 3 and it has about 1500kg pushing power, nro 4 is in use the most and it has around 2500 and biggest (sometimes too heavy) is nro 6 and it has 3600 kg. Brand is RH-pusher. Another brand is Stalpen and it is as good. Power around 3500kg. We use them almost every day. Fast and reliable. Only thing I have done for them is change wires sometimes. If there is possibility to brake something special, I often use also plan B, which is rope or wedges. I recommend that nro 4 or Stalpen.

[@AndrewBiemann]

I really liked this video, and found myself drooling over the organization... but I'm curious how your business works. Do you have a chipper truck tailing you at all times, or do you do a lot of 'cut-and-leave' jobs?

[@Arboristfi]

Andrew Biemann, Hello Andrew. Thank you. Most of the work have been like cut and go. City workers or our co-operation guys are coming after us with tractor or truck with crane. But.... there is also a lot of work that privat customer continues by himself after we are done. Now we have smaller chipper (which goes into van) and trailer that is tipping with hydraulic. For smaller jobs.

[@marcovercoutter1365]

still using this van? I am not sure if my next work truck should be a pick up or a van. I do need 4x4, don’t you miss that in this van?

[@Arboristfi]

Yes I am still using it. I bought Hilux for winter and special cases if have to pull bigger trailers. To be honest, we need more space than 4x4, so my next one will be again van. Maybe one size bigger that I can drive my Vermeer mini skid steer in the van.

[@marcovercoutter1365]

Terveisin floridasta. Kävin itsetehdyn arboristiksi kun Huriccane Mathew meni pihan läpi :-) Voisit tehdä voittoa hurricanin jälkeen. Munkkia!

[@Arboristfi]

Kiitos terveisistä Ary. Missä olet opetellut suomea? Se on ollut hyvä "salakieli" maailmalla kun harva ymmärtää sitä :). Niin varmaan voisi... Suomessa on tammi-helmikuussa hiljaisempaa, niin se on käynyt mielessä jos kävisi Amerikan mantereella katsomassa puuhommia. Esimerkiksi nyt siellä ilmeisesti olisi päällä Californian kuolevat puut.

[@arycave]

Olen peraisin Neuvostoliittosta viisikymmentayksi voutta sitten :-) Aina oli kiinostunut noiden vieraiteen sanoihin kuullut lapsena kun kesalommalla pohoiis-Uralilla. Se oli suureksi osaksi vankilan vaesto. Sitten olin yhteistyossa suomalaisten rakentajien kanssa moskovassa. Anteeksi kirjasimesta (istun toimistossa nyt). Totta on California olisi parempana tyomatka Floridan vertailla, voi olla tupla tuloksena. Kaksi kuuta hurricane paasta meilla on paljon puita yha palaa. Se oli mahdotonta loyta ammatti-puunhoitoa. Hyladin 3 porukkaa koska ne halusivat $2.8K 8 puun poistosta. Paattin tehdan se itse ja oppin uutta taitoa. Minun ymparin vaesto ei ole aari-rikasta ... No niin, Hyva Joulua Suomi ja Onnelista Uutta Vuotta :-)

[@Arboristfi]

Hieno juttu että olet edelleen pitänyt suomen kieltä yllä. Todella hyvin kirjoitettua. Aika kauan sitten kestää purkaa hurrikaanin jälkeisiä tuhoja. Jos on paljon kysyntää niin hinta tietysti nousee sen mukaan. Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta myös Floridaan :).

The spider is alive?

[@Arboristfi]

No it is not :). Figure of Sydney Funnel Web. We just saw one like that in Australia while grinding stumps. I think it was the most venomous spider of the Australia and was it third in the whole word (maybe ;) ). And I bought one figure to take with me as souvenir. We don´t have deadly spiders in Finland.

[@jamesvillegas877]

I hope you have some kinda security lock just in case someone trys to steal your whole van.

[@Arboristfi]

I have been thinking about that before adding video in here. I have made it difficult for thieves, they will get caught. Think there is a lot easier ways earn money than try to steal this vehicle. But anyway, I know what you mean, all this kind videos are risk to get robbed.

[@Arboristfi]

[@TheToolnut]

Completely squared away as one would expect of a Finn.

[@chrisgrayston1982]

so where does the woodchipper chip into?

[@Arboristfi]

We have chipped into our Volvo FL 10 truck container, or straight into customers yard. But... as I told in video, we don´t use that much chipper here in Finland. Reason for that is energy. If there is going to be more trees to felled, we are using branches and all and make it into heat. Normally branches will be gathered into one bigger pile and after one year in there BIG chipper (horizontal grinder) comes and takes it all. I think you can find those places for piles easier than places where to dump fresh chips. And because of that we use often (Hiab) cranes or tractor in countryside to clear up work sites. More efficient when don´t have to clear it all by hands. It is just different techniques in different countries I have noticed.

[@chrisgrayston1982]

Guess so, you have more open space than we do, we predominantly use smaller trucks and chippers, mainly because we don't have the space unless were on street trees but also, biomass chippers are only used on site clearance. Also in this country it is volume reduction rather than wonderful grades of wood chip for biomass. If I did only see somone turn jp in a van I would kind of wonder if they were tree surgeons/arborists. But it's each to there own and what one set up works for one person won't work for another!

[@Arboristfi]

That is right. When I bought my chipper I thought it would be more in use. Now I want just smaller for small felling jobs and for street tree pruning. And some day bigger to feed it with crane.

[@chrisgrayston1982]

See tractors sith roof mounted cranes and a big chipper get called in for clearance work, however ud be amazed what you get done with an 8 inch lindana, iv seen crane jobs with that chipper that a tractor couldn't do, as a rule we take the chipper to the job make life easier!

[@Arboristfi]
