Warranty Work And Berm Removal

I guess that would explain about how the pipe became separated in the first place. Good man for standing behind your work.

[@incorporeal3793]

If I ever win the lottery I'm buying myself a Yanmar, even though I have absolutely no need or use for one. :)

[@papaw5405]

In my experience if you want keep a cherry it will die every time but if you want rid of it, it won't die for nothing. If you cut it down it sends up sprouts from the stump. If you dig it or pull it up it'll send up sprouts in a circle from the roots that broke off.

[@HughzieTube]

''We do it right because we do it twice!'' lol That was an unlucky blow from mother nature but good of you to go straight back and fix it as too many companies just look for excuses and stop answering the phone these days.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nice work! Got to love those crazy rains! Hard to build things to withstand 3” in an hour. That tree might make it if he dumps some root stimulant and waters it heavily for the next month. No harm in trying to replant it. Have a good weekend!

[@lochlanmorgan3825]

Nice to see Tim back and helping

[@mandy8211]

You need to dump a lot of water on the root ball when you transplant that tree. It wont die . We have had to transplant a lot of customers trees and that is just the protocol.

[@JD-iu3vi]

What root ball? Plus they crushed all the roots!

[@cathiwim]

I cant tell from the video, but if the root flare is too far below the soil line the tree may die, planted too deeply. We will see, i guess.

[@johnapel2856]

Good business practice. Stand behind your work. If they water the tree and trim the damaged limbs, it may survive. IF they water it. Thanks.

[@cntslesfabrication]

We trans plant trees in Vegas in the middle of summer 120 degrees and 95% of the trees survive just fine and we only get 2.25 inches of rain a year

[@r.l.gloverservices4573]

No need to move larger equipment for a job that small. By the time the big machine got there the mini is done and loaded up for the next job at a fraction of the cost in fuel and transport.

[@jasonking2943]

Glad you are loading the truck with the mini. Now you know how I feel trying to load things with something small!!

Most guys would never admit that.... 😆😆😆😆

[@oddwad6290]

Add some fertilizer to promote root growth and follow previous advice . Mixing in well rotten sawdust with backfill dirt helps alot also .

[@TheUserid82]

Important part of transplanting a tree is to place stakes to support the tree as you rip up so many roots in the process that a strong wind can blow the tree over without them. The root zone of a tree extends to just past the drip edge of the leaf area so when you cut back to just around the trunk you have removed the majority of the roots and it is why you need support and to water as that area is now gone.

[@helenhelps9619]

Options are like as.holes everyone has one. Keep digging Cris.

[@robertbradford2734]

That tree is good as dead... LOL

[@tripler3724]

My brother had all the right equipment to transplant trees and even keeping the root ball intact and follow up watering, fertilizer application, doing it at the wrong time of year was a waste of time.

[@mikelang4191]

Maybe if they watered it in as they back filled to get the dirt back around the roots but otherwise ya it likely didn't make it.

[@DigginLife21]

It happens...good man to stand behind your work my friend!!! Keep em coming.

[@mandy8211]

I remember a time ago where we had to transplant 11 canary palms in Poway, Ca. They were 40 feet tall. Dug 8x8x8 foot square hole for each one. They consume 250 gallons of water per day per tree. Used a bomag 80 ton crane to set them.

[@arkansas1336]

It's good that you're taking care of the customers!

[@tomo4690]

Poor tree!!! There's so much talk about it in the comments your going to need to do a wellness follow up! 😁

[@rickgordon873]

Good day man don’t sound like warranty work to me when customer doesn’t tell you what is really going on but when your as awesome person like I was we just grin and bear it

[@UncleKennysPlace]

Yeah, sort of an "Act of God" incident.

[@2005GLI]

All that rock is evidence that this has been an on going issue.

[@nl1cat]

Put in a gutter there down to the hole or it becomes a regular visit ?

[@watchthe1369]

That is a drainage issue that needs to be properly resolved, probably with a concrete ditch. They are throwing good money after bad at this point. That rock is a sign of earlier attempts at fixing it.

[@2005GLI]

@@watchthe1369 it definitely is. Water rushes right down that path and over the grass. Will probably rip up that fencing if they get another monsoon of a rainstorm

[@michaelkoop6731]

Using bone meal on tree roots that u replant is one of the best things to do. U dont loose them as much. Always use bone meal on ant bush or tree u replant. Sprinkle it on the roots plant and water it.

[@dezmonasg6708]

Anytime you move a tree like that you either need to prune back aggressively of keep a good supply of water for a few weeks ,then it's got a good chance of survival

[@keithdunlap2701]

I agree !! They could have to ya , that the run-off water comes strait over and off the pavement like a River !! But, "The $#it Happens" !! Gotta be fixed , Another well done Chris and Crew !! Have a Great Evening/ Weekend !!

[@paulteirney3587]

A friend of mine had the bucket wear like that so we welded it with hardfacing rods then ground it back and has not worn . I did that to my bulldozer blade too.

[@Thejderbs]

Watching you with the backwards bucket trick makes me wish our bobcat style could do the same. As always killer work!

[@hankzoerb317]

Chris, you are awesome at everything...except transplanting a tree. You already knew it wasn't going to work, and the owner should have hired someone that has the equipment to do it, if he really wanted to save it.

[@mischef18]

The cherry tree should come back with watering it well for a few weeks. Nice job on the warranty work too, looks like the road above was acting as a spill way .

[@michaelhaag4912]

It’s The rarely captured, often talked about, mating dance of the wild Takeuchi and Yanmar. Glad you captured it all on video for us to see and appreciate 👍🏻🙂🤪

[@CCscott]

Guess you won’t be a guest speaker for the Arbor Day celebration.

[@gravitationaleddie5611]

Horse farm? Cherry tree should be gone anyways. Bad bad news for younglings. equusmagazine.com/diseases/eqtoxic436-10129 up here in KY a few years back they lost many colts due to them chewing up cherry leaves. Because, apparently, CYANIDE.

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

And cherry pits are very toxic to all farm animals

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

Although I don't think this particular variety of cherry produces fruit.. cherry pits on fruiting trees are very toxic

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

You mean next week after the sun kills it 😂😉😂...... sorry Chris.... I'm not blaming you buddy....tree transplanting, especially large mature trees like that one are hard to transplant and when the dirt / football collapses..... it's anyone's guess if it's going to survive

[@phillipjones3342]

Goes to show path of least resistance great job Chris

[@fergusb2440]

That tree never stood a chance!

[@steve5975]

I would think that forming the now exposed rock into a wash for the water to channel through, would have been a better remedy, given that the water/mother nature is gonna make her own course; regardless, of the customers best wants/wishes. (but my thoughts or merely that...)

[@williamlane9140]

Now we know why George Washington cut down the Cherry tree.....it hit his damn skid steer!!!😎

All else fails pour a curb and put a catch basin to catch the run off and just tap in to the pipe. Good choice on the coconut mat though.

[@theatrepros]

I've never seen a tree transplanted that way. That's awesome. Hope it lives.

[@joecieri5173]

The hell with that tree. Great job chris

[@blakeyon2asd]

Just an idea could you have gotten under the tree with the skid steer then opened the 4in1 to help stabilize the tree with the extra area of contact.

[@tomh3652]

Nice dent on top of the dump truck tail gate. Blame Tim. LOL

[@ernie9819]

[@davecalvo1939]

leave the garden hose running under that tree cracked at about 2-3 gallons an hour for a day or two and that tree will most likely live

[@lidsman2221]

I think that the tree will go into shock and will need constant care for a long time to try to help it survive.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Bada Boom Bada Bing.. done!

[@leonblittle226]

Tree should be ok, you didn't really bust up the roots too bad. Couple of gallons of water and leave it be for six months before making a choice on its life status.

[@michaelmcclure8673]

I like how you relocated the tree.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

[@rynobub]

"It's not worth tearing up the skid steer over a little tree". You mean you don't want to get a little scratch on it lol

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Any large parking area around here has to keep the water from running off and have a retention area that can be connected to the storm sewer with a small pipe. That tree is badly formed and probably should't have been planted in the first place.

[@blurrylights6344]

I see what you mean about the tree. It had been so badly neglected that two suckers grew almost as thick as the main trunk. And the main trunk was so top heavy from lack of pruning, it was bent over like a question mark. The owner didn't care about that tree when it was growing, he doesn't care about it now, I'm sure.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Warranty work? I thought you only gave a tail light warranty. As long as you can see my tail lights you have a warranty. Lol God bless

[@leoslandscape24]

Long time I haven't watched your videos I've been so busy at work

[@Boot_185]

Thats awesome to do warranty work. Around my area there is no such thing for construction work

[@dieterhinders9237]

I think it died. Without top soil like here extremely difficult. With soil and equipment you can transplant trees 5 times bigger.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Another of my favorite KZbinrs Andrew Caramata has a couple of those little Yanmar machines and he loves his. He has said many times that the little bastards just keep running and other than routine maintenance, they never break down. I wondered if you have the same luck with yours. There's a couple used ones I have been eyeing and like to do my due diligence.

[@vhostovich]

Ingenious action plan for the cherry tree. It would be fun to see if it survives. Do you think the company will be coming back for other work?

[@TheTreegodfather]

Water well, fertilize to help with the transplant shock, and you'd be surprised.

[@1Ocqueoc]

It seems that you need a few locations to store some of the materials that you haul out of certain jobs. Need 100 yards of sand ... just go to "A" yard. Need 50 yards of clay .. Head over to "B" yard. Charge the clients for hauling it out, charge other clients for bringing it in!

[@shawnjerome8599]

great video but I'm sorry Chris if you bid that job to save the tree then you should have brought forks for the skid steer and use those to do it and then dug a hole and done it the right way or a tree spade one of the other but that tree could have been something special that somebody planted with him or them just saying

[@scotabot7826]

I bet you a dollar to a doughnut they didn't "bid that job to save the tree". The man wanted the trash holly bushes and rocks and dirt removed. I bet he said "I would like to try and save the cherry tree, and Chris said " I will be happy to replant it for you, but there's no telling if it will live, but we will try. I bet you anything that's how it went.
