You do a fantastic job of explaining what you are doing Thanks 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪⭐️⭐️

[@tompreiss5010]

Thanks for the time lapse.

[@DashPar]

With that tree on, all I could think of is “a Griswold family Christmas” 😂

[@Bobby82568]

I’m a professional tree removal commentator and I can say that job must suck. Glad you have a machine that does it, you guys have a machine for everything.

[@lostinlox]

The Big Swede taking a big leak at the 19:56 mark,lmao.

[@BeachBoyAAA]

Now you’ve done it. Welkers and Millenial and others are going to start including subtle pee events in their videos as a new competition..,

[@billlane7486]

You might find it holds the branches up better if you use netting wrap like some farmers seem to use on round hay bails as that should hold over a wider area. No idea how you'd get it on mind!

[@robertquast9684]

Smokes like a big cam Cummins. Low compression engine by design smokes till they warm up

[@pamelaglowczwski8904]

What kind of operation is Larson Farms running. The Big Swede is needing some new shoes, so he can be more productive. Maybe, you should sponsor some work shoe company.

[@pierreperrin7069]

Why do you call him the big swede ?

[@MrKatzfey]

The Sweed talikg a leak on the film...

[@jasonhudspeth2206]

"We got all theses levers"

[@garyrodlin5659]

That looked like about 18" of topsoil, are you close to the red river valley? I know there isn't that much in the fields due to erosion. But that is good looking dirt.

[@Kevin-is-here]

Big Sweed pissin at beginning of time lapse 🍺

[@DashPar]

I think it would just be easier to give a list of equipment the Larson’s don’t own. Like a 747? That’s about it.... 😂

[@duanenelson3202]

Every time I see the drone soaring thru the farmstead. My thoughts what's Chet going show us this episode. And now we get to watch Agroforestry in action

[@icebabysnocain]

No harm in trimming off a few bottom branches. They starve for light anyway. Do you put the plug back in the tree hole? Internationals are dirty burners while they are cold. You don't need injectors, they're just like that. Notice all the dead branches in there that could be trimmed out before you dig. Given the girth of that shrub you did a good job. Ten gallons of water in the whole before the tree goes in helps too. Good vid Winny. Peace.

[@tedb.5707]

Definitely trim those lower branches. They'll fill out.

[@MarkWilliams-lf5tc]

Those 13 letter manure spreaders dont like cold

[@gerryspang5917]

icebaby snocain it’s a Caterpillar Engine, not a n International, I think you mean the Max Force Engine. Generally if an engine smokes it’s time for a tune up. Also bad habit to start an engine without climbing in the truck to make sure it’s out of gear. Bad habits are hard to fix.

[@K27fan]

Is there any piece of equipment you guys DONT own??!!? Amazing.

[@shealy265]

You definitely are jack of all trades and willing to try about anything. You know all the little alignment tricks. Great to watch.

[@2020Tundra]

That was very interesting. I’ve always wondered how those tree spades work... have never had the opportunity to see it in action. You and the Big Swede are a great team!!

[@normnielsen]

Fancy split screen and picture in picture, nice!! Great video as always.

[@keithkuckler2551]

The first one of these big tree spades was designed and built by a guy named Wally Stocker from Jordan Minnesota. He and a small town blacksmith built it, he tested it, and the continued to make improvements. That was back in the early 70's. I had him move three large ash trees for me. Eventually a bigger shop outside of New Prague, Minnesota, started to build them. Wally moved a lot of trees around Scott and Carver counties. Later Vermeer and other companies started to make them. The one that Wally Stocker built could move some pretty big trees.

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Those roots tearing sounded as satisfying as when the Veggie Boys pick peppers. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackmullin160]

Pull the branches up and wrap it with baler wrap

[@spencerdaniels4824]

They don’t have cows or a baler

[@chrisgilbert2152]

I thought it was just me!!

[@nicke1903]

Glad I'm not alone, the peppers are my favorite.

[@scottm344]

Congratulations on all the success your channel is having.

[@jba36420]

Chet, this has been one of the most interesting videos ever. Took a lot of camera placement and Nicki did an excellent editing job. This type of "off the wall" videos are what makes your channel so interesting. Think between you and "the big Swede" anything is doable. You make a good partnership in work.

[@robertlonsdale3826]

totally agree , very interesting and most entertaining

[@shutterbugg5217]

19:55 Too much coffee, Eric?

[@brocklecomte2267]

I’m sure someone has commented this but I wonder if using a packing wrap/ big roll of Saran Wrap or some net wrapping would be useful to hold the bottom branches, it would be kinda similar to the net wrapping method used at Christmas tree farms!

[@markiowa5437]

The bad news is you're planting them too close together. The good news, you're almost a suburb of Canada, so they will grow slow. Cool video nonetheless.

[@garyhunter6030]

Your were talking about the chemical company with fungicide, pesticide etc. If I had to transplant tress all day I would be looking at a homicide.

[@espeescotty]

The Big Swede fertilized the wrong roots at 19:55.

[@Handeling]

I love all the Equipment You Guys have available to use, Quite interesting things to watch ❤️☺️

[@greenthumb6875]

Fabric needs to be removed after a few years or it will kill (choke) the trees sooner than later... details, details ... don’t kid yourselves when thinking of cutting vids short... nothing repetitive of Larson farm doings when it comes to the verbal retorts... no matter the project...ha

[@ITubeTooInc]

Almost like watching the Griswolds getting the perfect Christmas tree. "It's not big, just full".

[@garyfuiten5126]

That thing wouldn't fit in our Yard......it's not going in our Yard Rusty, it's going in our Living Room. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓

[@nohand322]

If you get yourself a very long heavy duty piece of Netting and wrap the trees branches up with it. It's the same way they wrap Christmas trees . 👍

[@Allen7243]

Interesting, you guys sure get involved with more projects other than just crops!

[@farmhandluke5182]

Thanks for showing the tree spade I have been waiting to see that truck in action!!! 🌲 🌲 Works pretty darn slick and them were some large trees , it didn't break them too bad, never knew they had a water tank to spray on the spades to help in removal , great split screen and editing Nicole 👍Awesome video as always !!🇺🇸✅

[@Spike643]

Always wanted to know how these tree moves worked. Now I know. Thanks Chet and Big Swede for the tutorial.

[@markthomas7270]

The Big Swed needs a company like this guy in Australia, see his site: "Drain Addict" . Maybe you have the same type of company in your area!! As he gets most all pipes opened with this system. Take Care!!

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya, I could watch that all day, I love watching machines work especially dry bollock jack. An old joke about a guy who had the snip lifting 1/2 ton on his d1ck. Stay safe...Steve...

[@JoseFlores-iw8mf]

Ma man chet work even sundays that’s wasup 👌👌💪💪💪

[@BulldozersTravel]

Nothing wrong with bein fat!! Just more ta love! Great video guys- Thanks!!

[@smartass6071]

I ran a Big John for 30 years. I have been to the Big John manufacturing plant in Heaber Springs Ak as well. I can fix and run that machine with my eyes closed. Whatcha wanna know? Use your outriggers to line up the spade from side to side in the hole. Use the tilt to line up the spade from front to back. It's faster and saves you time lining it up. Push the spade all the way down in the hole till the truck comes off the ground then tilt to line it up. Then set the truck back down and pull the blades. Easy peasy You almost made a 10K mistake by leaving the #3 blade down. Those things are 10K each. lol

[@GaryLX870D]

Chainsaws save lives!! Limbs don't

[@pedrogunner9750]

At 19:07 please telling me Chet says “I think we’re going to be fucking this tree right behind us.” Haha he probably didn’t say that...it’s just wishful hearing.

[@buckman840]

Tell the big swede to head over to Cornstarfarms YT to get 10% off ariat workboots. Link in the description. Edit: on second thought big swede also needs some pimpin pit vipers

[@rickdeckard6280]

Evergreens don't recover well. You have to wait a few months before you see any damage. All the house building you'll have going in the family, tree spade is a smart purchase.

[@shapeshifter1364]

Not a farmer, but enjoy looking you guys farm ! But in all videos i never seen you plough - hows that? Would be cool - like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inKveXdsq7V4mM0

[@bmrivest]

Your spade is definitely in better condition than my neighbor's. He's got an old Mack and he was trying to move a pine from his house/landscaping yard on one side of the neighborhood to a barn he's got on the other end. Well I look out the window and he's got an F350 assisting the spade in getting up the hill. It was quite the site. I'll try to see if my security camera picked it up at all.

[@richardjellis9186]

Do these trees survive every time.? Or is there a certain number that just don't make it.? And, do they take a few years to become 'wind proof', or stormproof, as the roots grow.?

[@MrShanester77]

Incredible content! Nice job🇺🇸

[@jimlarsen6782]

How do I move a tree, dynamite, but its not replantable. Nah, never moved a tree. Never dreamed of it. Moving houses is much harder though.

[@tonyphilbrook8650]

Just an old Cummins keeping the mosquitoes away

[@markvittorini5163]

Should put a green Larson's Farm die-cut adhesive decal on the doors of the orange cab! Would look so cool!

[@lawrenceterry9283]

I thought I saw Eric releaving himself?

[@idomatternonya7447]

That fill up in diesal would be $500.00 + now FJB

[@anotherway875]

Thank you for this video, it was very informative, and something I had never seen before.

[@Towball]

Chet and the Big Swede together what can i say 😂😂

[@Aaron-ol2fm]

You need to pay Eric more or maybe Justin boots needs to sponsor u so Eric doesn't have to keep with the bread bags lol

[@petecosburn]

CHET GREAT VIDEO....BUT THUMBS DOWN TO 7 ADS, DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE TO WATCH THAT MANY ADS IN THIS ONE VIDEO?

[@markschneider9344]

Iv changed alot on my farm after watching tour videos

[@lw4609]

Try letting the glow plugs do their job or the preheater before you start that diesel and maybe the injectors will last longer

[@RAHHHHH.]

Chet what kind of truck do you have, I’m interested

[@RAHHHHH.]

@Farmer366 just noticed what I did

[@brentarcher3240]

That’s amazing. I had no idea that’s how they moved trees. Thanks for another incredible vid.

[@kshtf]

If you were moving a lot, you could make an attachment for the wheel loader that would have a big ring. You need to make part of it so it can open to get the trunk thru. Once around the tree, you raise the tree ring up and tie the branches as you go. Owning a Christmas tree farm, we bale trees all the time and that basically is exactly what you are wanting to do. But for corn farmers I think your doing a great job. As always I enjoyed your video.

[@dhenschel4]

Thanks for the video, always wanted to see this done. Yours and my family are of the same ilk- buy what you need and do it yourself. Sounds like this machine has paid for itself many times over, and you will never look back. You likely won't find much input from the experts here as they like their high fees and lack of competition.

[@geraldmckillip5594]

Moving those evergreen trees are very educational , enjoyed this video ....... 👍👍👍

[@rodpasichnyk9140]

3:29, Chet would have "Dodged" ya, lol, cheers!

[@masyncreager5136]

I was in Sioux Falls today and I saw a truck that looked like yours so I waited outside the store and it was not you and I felt so dumb😂😂😂

[@williamhamill813]

To not break shit tie up the branches with a tree wrapper on a skid steer or do it by hand.

[@bryanlloyd9664]

That was Hilarious!!😂👍👍

Why do you have a machine like this? Do you also contracting in tree moving?

[@GijsRupert]

After 5 min watching i know the answer haha 😂 Thanks 👌🏻

[@arbigdog73]

Chet & Eric = Laurel & Hardy!

[@garyjanssen5388]

I'm just saying, It's really Really a bad idea to just stand outside lean into your truck and flick the key to start the truck without knowing if its in gear or not, you just never know if anyone has been in there mucking around or kids hop in and play truck drivers, cos if it starts frist pop and in gear it's not gona stop, I'm not having a dig I'm just saying i always Always hop in check that no one's been in and mucked around with it, love your blogs and hope the season goez safe and well, Chook,

[@robertlonsdale3826]

has an air braked truck ever started without needing air build up ?

[@garyjanssen5388]

@@robertlonsdale3826 yes that's so true, mind you I didn't hear a buzzer, I've allways made it my rule to hop in and start, it's all ways been my thing,

[@justwannabbq2602]

Could you pull the stumps with the spade?

[@bobdubree4718]

Just saw this one... you need to have 3ply twine. Start at tree stem then come out. Push up bottom 2 guys. Then have third guy rap branches up. Work your way around tree. Keep pushing up branches. Size of tree ok. On placement of wheels use marking paint L on ground to get tree placement. On trees best to rap 4 or 5 before moving.

[@bobdubree4718]

On twine you need about 50' each to rap up. Best luck on next

[@andysukosd8177]

Very interesting video

[@asquithmainlines699]

I have a friend who own a logging company. Whenever he hires a new driver at the end of the interview he asks them to go out in the yard a start a truck. He hangs the keys off the oil dipstick. If they come in and tell him they could not start it because the keys weren’t in it they don’t get the job because he knows they don’t check oil before startup.

[@gusashley3690]

Well if u r a big logger u just have your own mill on big tracts of land like 100000 acres like us down in Alabama

[@greenthumb6875]

First thing I thought of too... good observation

[@asquithmainlines699]

Gus Ashley The town of 5000 that I live in Has a pulp mill that ships bales of pulp to China, an OSB mill and a 2X4 stud saw mill. If you go south or east 50 miles you will find two more saw mills. Lots of old growth trees here we live above the tree line. Mainly 60 to 100 foot white poplar and White pine with Birch and Spruce mixed throughout.
