3/10/24..Reon, very smooth GroveCrane pic 2day on home site in hilly area, power lines over target oak tree all during your Wisconsin snow season. Its ~50°F waay down here in New Orleans area as we are beginning to thaw out from our 3-4 days of 30° Winter weather. Your closing comments, announced by daughter Ruby, was priceless! Sooo nice to see & hear many of you YT guys including your kids in your videos....from a 78 yr old Pawpaw (7 G-kids) it is absolutely wonderful to see & hear you use your kids in your work related videos...gotta give kids a boost in their (most important) self-confidence! So even if you did not use your crane, much enjoy your use of compounding your kids development not only by the occasional cameo (when beautiful wife brings lunch) but also have them narrate the closing🎉😊 A+ Reon, you are doing waaay more than just cutting down trees, your are >Growing< our country's next well rounded citizens..ya know...gotta maintain property, have gardens...& hire a tree service to tame these ever growing trees!😊💪
Incredibly interesting to watch this kind of stuff and that includes Reon's commentary which makes it more understandable and more interesting. The missing counter weight bolts is a drag, considering what you have to do to compensate for it after committing to $1M+ on the crane. It would seem that your Grove vendor could have been a little more proactive in having the crane completely ready for sale and/or world class service after the sale to get the necessary missing pieces to you.
Great Job and everyone was safe ! Taken down hundreds in the last thirty years . The tree surgeon that I usually worked with made the statement one day that he need to buy a crane ! I informed him he had already bought one, it was sitting right here ! CCO
Reon, that was wild...a lot of precision. Make sure to use this in your portfolio of capabilities, this will get you lots of quirky jobs...Then you can show them to us...How big was that landing zone...I would retitle this...Dropping 100 Ft Oak at Coolest House Ever In the Woods Surrounded by Power Lines with Crane Jacked Up Ten Foot on Steep Hill Narrow Road with Living Room Sized Landing Zone and Done Before by Lunch Got Cold...that's just me. More clicks, Haha. Take care, Duane
As a NCCCO crane operator, I enjoyed watching the setup and love your Grove! As a journeyman lineman, I did notice that the wire in question appears to be a span guy, not an energized primary. Below is the secondary and communication cables. But better to error on the side of caution!
Great Job as always Reon👍 Please let us know : The Knuckleboom and the Merlot has left for the Grove? Or just waiting in the Garage for the smaller Trees? 🤔 Keep up the Save Work and best wishes from Germany 👋
IM SO GLAD TO SEE MORE VIDEOS! your literally my tree hero reon, hope that doesnt sound weird! haha. anytime im like this is tough, or im tired i always say to myself.... ill never be reon if i keep being a big baby, and i get back to work! i got me a new 2022 freightliner cummins ally bucket and im saving up for a crane ... i finally feel prepared for a crane, i have a 2020 avant, an extra dump truck, a big dump trailer 14k payload, a 2023 wheel loader 8800 lb cap, and a bandit 150xp and a bandit 18xp ! hopefully we can keep up with this crazy production!! it looks so fun tho! ive done crane jobs but cant imagine doing them daily! ... do you use it every job unless it doesnt fit? or just big ones? a crane that is, i know you have a few! haha thanks for everything reon! your such an inspiration and your videos just blow me away! the coolest part about you is how nice/chill/humble you are ! many dicks, cheats, and pricks out there ! so nice to see a big company like yours with such an awesome down to earth owner! much love from your canadian tree brother up in manitoba canada! take care!
@@marciagilbert3996 aww so sorry to hear :( my dad died early too! reon is definitely amazing! Make sure he keeps making videos! hell be making more off youtube than trees in no time! top notch a+ content!
@marciagilbert3996 HI Marcia 😊 You're undoubtedly very proud of your son !!!! Nice to see you comment !!! I only got to meet Reon & family a little over 3 year's ago but they're Awesome, as I'm sure you are !!! You did a great job 👍❤
this is why cranes should have those stoppers you used (-all four of.) I had a crane, had nothing to chock the wheels with even though I had to do the climbing stuff - to get level, the rear riggers sat on as much timber as possible, to get riggers OVER the timbers, had to pack under the rear axle (only a small 25t PPM, crane is probably forty years old or so, it doesn't have the ZF auto, it's got one of those sequential gearbox trransmissions where it manages the clutch itself) Well... when the job were done, it slid back into the scaffolding as soon as the wheels started to take the weight off of the riggers/cribbing, and the angle of the ground wasn't much different from there ... Safe lifting!
Great content again Reon, smashing the Job and the filming and neither are easy on there own let alone together. I’m a climber in the uk my self and it always amazes me the effort the likes of your self, August and Jake go to, to create the content you do. 🤙🏾
I used to work trimming for the powerlines and I was on a crew that went to the trees the other crews was afraid of. Guess who got to go first. I remember my first day on job they told me I was going to go on the super crew
Man I Love that crane ❤ Super great job on the video 👍 Ruby did Awesome !!! And Rocky is still right about the Grove 😁😂 Thank you for the video Mr Reon 👊
Smart staying off that new concrete driveway and flawless job. You can take time to be safe in work and set up when you own the crane and the big boy is not subbed and not on the clock.
I've been waiting to see the new crane at work. Seems like the power company should have hired you while you were there and get those power lines clear. Do you ever contact neighbors at places that might need tree work with the crane in the same position? Would it reduce some costs if a group got together to have work done in several yards from the same setup?
How many tree companies use a crane that size? This is a first, I’ve never seen it before. I’d love to see a video of what it costs a customer to have a large tree taken down, and what the rates are for the crane. Demand and need is clearly there, or you wouldn’t have it.
I would have done the Outrigger Pads Supports Different. They were still at a Downhill Slope vs a Level Pad from what I could see. I would have made a T with the Dunnage Timbers…and then put the Round Outrigger Pads on top of the T Patterned Dunnage to Level Out the Outrigger Support Area. It’s hard to explain the Pattern that I would have put the Dunnage in Words typing it out….but a T Pattern with first layer running opposite direction of the crane and then the next layer on top of that that is running in the direction with the crane and only resting on the first layer of dunnage on one end to make it higher on one end….to level it out.
Hi. I just saw the video of you new crane and i wish you the best. I have onlu one question. Are you sure with only one rope you have to pass in the first pulley and not in the middle one? 11:26
Curious what you charge for a tree like that with your new crane??? My area the cost of the crane would price us out of competitive bidding. Sometimes we don’t and or can’t charge for the our cranes, we just eat it the cost for simplicity/ convenience. Nice crane though bro-
There's a reason housemovers don't pack their cribbing tight, but space them a bit, without losing any bearing strength. I know OSHA says pack it tight, but really? Not a knock, just an observation, from a 20,000 hour plus op. If you don't have a tip of boom HD camera, with a HD 10" monitor in the cab, you should look into it, it is a game changer.
Looks like Sena or another like it. I use it with a few crews, works 90 percent of the time. Occasional disconnects, static mics, pairing issues. They have a special operators set thats lower profile which is nice.
Reon thank you for coming back , you and your team are nothing short of fantastic! GOD bless you all and keep you safe.
Your climber/rigger needs a raise! he did an excellent job rigging those picks!
Elliot killing it with the sling placement

Thank you so much!!!
The winch indicator click reminds me of the To The Top videos! Excelent work gentlemen!
yessssss brother keep doing the POV crane footage, that's some of the best content on UA-cam, keep it up!!!
Always a good feeling having more crane than you need well done!
Incredibly interesting to watch this kind of stuff and that includes Reon's commentary which makes it more understandable and more interesting.

Love the crane footage, would love to see a full equipment tour!
“This took us 45 minutes to get it like this”. Well if it’s safe it doesn’t matter how long it took to get there
Your videos always brighten my day. The happy attitudes and incredible work you all put in, is a joy to watch. Thanks and I hope to see more soon.
Great Job and everyone was safe ! Taken down hundreds in the last thirty years . The tree surgeon that I usually worked with made the statement one day that he need to buy a crane ! I informed him he had already bought one, it was sitting right here ! CCO
I prefer the all in-cab view and commentary because there's nothing else like it on UA-cam. (That I've found).
Nice job, I really enjoy watching your videos.
It's good to see you again.

Beautiful machine and the efficiency wow.
Love your videos Reon!!!
Great job Reon..... that crane makes things a lot easier.
As a crane operator I love the new grove!!! Keep safe

Impressive Crane and your workers.They are amazing. But I do miss seeing you up in the trees.😊 Thank you for sharing.
Nice to see you back in the tube. Great work
Love the video. Keep up the good work!
Loving these vids
The man the myth the legend
Very impressive operation!
Sweet.... Always great vids.
Gran trabajo como siempre 👍👍
Amazing work reon love the new videos
Cool video! It's really interesting to see the removal from the crane operator's perspective.
Enjoyed the video. Nice rig. Good crew. A1

The Grove sure makes life easy. More videos please.

Love the soothing feel of a perfect concrete driveway, good choice not to crack it!
Great job brother
Wow, great job/video!! 👍♥️🙏
I want “todays job” by you saying it as my alarm in the morning. Im weird. Iknow😜😂
🤣😂🤣
you are wonderful! May God bless you all and keep you safe.
Excellent work boys. I'm more often limited by the landing zone than by the crane capacity....
keep them videos coming my man
Well organized person keep up the good work does your crew clean and shine your equipment thanks
I used to work trimming for the powerlines and I was on a crew that went to the trees the other crews was afraid of. Guess who got to go first. I remember my first day on job they told me I was going to go on the super crew
Such a nice set up and equipment. I can’t imagine how expensive it was to get that tree took down. It was a very dangerous situation.
Your a cool dude and do some nice work man. Hope to catch up to you one day with all the toys.
It may be easy but it's not cheap...$$$.$$. Nice job.
Good job mate!!🍺🍺💪👍
Thanks 👍
Man I Love that crane ❤ Super great job on the video 👍 Ruby did Awesome !!! And Rocky is still right about the Grove 😁😂 Thank you for the video Mr Reon 👊
I know what my next crane is going to be!!
great job
and here we are always told "its not the size of your tool!" ha ha ha
Amazing!! I love the new Grove looks great, also love the pov of the cab!! Could you possible do a pov of driving the crane by chance??
I will try!
Nice Vid!
Great video
Smart staying off that new concrete driveway and flawless job. You can take time to be safe in work and set up when you own the crane and the big boy is not subbed and not on the clock.
Thanks.
A crane like that what's your skier a rotator operator😂❤
Reon you and your team are the dogs bollocks 😂😂 all the best from England stay safe guys
👍
What would you suggest as a decent first crane??
nice job,Ilike how you put each wieght on the video.🤩👍👍

Yeah I cut some sloped blocks on my sawmill so I can give my outriggers a chance. He needs a better setup for that much weight.
Can you explain the clicking sound when lifting?
Reon what do you do with the chips?
Took you longer to set up than to cut it down?
dank
Do you have a bandsaw or a circular sawmill for cutting boards of the good sized timber you cut down?
Would be a shame to throw them away.
What's the clicking? Seems like its heard when you're running the winch.
👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
M sure you coulda took that whole stem in 1 and been well under the brown stripe bell…
Hi. I just saw the video of you new crane and i wish you the best. I have onlu one question. Are you sure with only one rope you have to pass in the first pulley and not in the middle one? 11:26
Could have picked the whole tree with that chart! Too bad you couldn't land it of course.
Was that first pic in slow motion? Seamed Smooth as silk.
No, sir, that was normal speed
Did you part ways with the merlo?
Nice ! Sure is a sweet chunk of oak there. Do you ever get asked to leave some stumpage for a chainsaw carving ? 🤙
Where do I sign up
What's that headset you're using, and is voice activated or push to talk?
I wonder what the roads speed of that crane is,,
Did I see you bump the wire with the first pick
Curious what you charge for a tree like that with your new crane??? My area the cost of the crane would price us out of competitive bidding. Sometimes we don’t and or can’t charge for the our cranes, we just eat it the cost for simplicity/ convenience. Nice crane though bro-

😂😂😂😂that's nothing brother but I get that it's the first one with a very expensive machine but that's what they're built for. SEND IT!!!
I did notice you are missing something, the name on the crane should read, Reon Rounds Professional Tree Service. 👍
You know you can just put the oneyou need on right
Why dont you have reciceld plastic cribing
Could you explain your radio setup? I think it might be handy 🏗️ at work. Can it work with two riggers and an operator?
Thanks
Ben

@@joshuahardy6624 Thanks, I actually use senna on my motorcycle helmet!
I wonder how much he charges for a job like this?
