    This guy is truly amazing.
    Great at everything he touches.
    Filming for us as he goes.
    That's a job in of itself.
    This man is a true man and never stops.
    Its his type that made/make America great.
    God bless you my friend.
    My prayers are God keeps his hand on and all your crew you in all that you do and keeps you and crew safe in your dangerous field of work
    I'm new to your channel.
    I've been watching your video's since I found out about your channel earlier this week.
    I found you through my other favorite American Bobby
    "bad to the bone Goodson"
    Yes I subscribed and have thumbed up all that I have watched thus for.

    I cut a ton of your Live Oak in Waveland and Kiln (aka: "The Kill") after Katrina in 2005-06. Willard at Hardy Outdoor Woodstoves out of Philadelphia, MS donated a stove to heat water for showers for volunteers. First it stove was set up in a destroyed plaza across from Waveland PD. Then, it was moved to a site adjacent to Coastal Hardware in Kiln. Your Live Oak is WAY heavier than our red oak and a bit heavier than our white oak. It's great you were able to bring piece of mind to the homeowner.

    you are just amazing how you attack to bring down a tree safely
    where to trim, how to balance the tree etc. especially from up in the
    lift. you are right there finding the best way to cut, and finish the
    job. thanks for the education on how it is done.

    I'm an arborist of 35yrs. I do wonder these days how the charges have increased so much due to the expensive equipment used on some jobs. i cant always justify some of the new tech. i still use Prusik, but always climb everything, never use a bucket.

    8:07 if you leave more brush on the end, even in short falls, it can slow the tip acceleration and help the limb fall flat.

    This is a great contrast to a lumberjack video. In that video, the lumberjack views all trees as obstacles and it is his job to chop everything down no matter how much lumber he destroys in the process. He will chop down a tree and watch it break into pieces upon impact. He wastes thousands of dollars worth of wood because "it is just trash" (not clear or nearly clear lumber).
    In this video, the emphasis is on removing the tree without damage to the property.

      Thats true! On bridge work you have to be tied off to the lift and wear an approved full body harness.
      And I have learned the hard way that you need to practice rappeling out of the bucket for when it breaks down one day 40 ft in the air or more.

    Hey Tim. At the end where you have the rope to a pulley then to the mini. Dunno if you have thought of this, I have used my remote controlled stump grinder to pull. Works pretty good. Thanks for all the great videos.

    • @cotontop3
      @cotontop3  Рік тому

      I have thought of it but just wasn't sure how powerful the grinder would be. I need to do some testing in a non critical situation. Which grinder do you have?

    Tim...As a father who has worked the Portawrap as the groundman for my son a climber on many large oak removals, you definitely had some weight in those limbs. You definitely need a ground man or two. Job would go three times as fast and less strain on the lift.

    So what is a fair price fore as a homeowner to pay for this tree to be removed in similar circumstances?
    Im guessing somewhere between $1800-$2500?

      6k-8k. Another 700-900 for stump grind.
