Cutting down a pine tree from a Genie lift

[@DanielKrennonline]

Just rented one today from Home Depot. Used it to take down a 50' oak tree. Worked Great! A little shaky when fully extended but got used to that after about 30 minutes. Fully limbed the tree down to 10' then took the trunk down from the ground. Never took a tree that size down before nor used a boom lift. If you have good common sense and carefully plan each fall you can save yourself a bunch of money. Cost was 300 for 24 hours vs 1200 for service to do the work. Took 4 hours to take it to the ground. Good judgement is the key here.

O h*** yeah that's a whole lot of money saving their good choice these genies they're OK they break a lot though

[@just1nicmechanicalwelding82]

I Rented this for one day for 300 hundred and it saved me $4,000 thousand ..They are excellent..

[@sandroserna6883]

Wow they really come in handy when we need them

[@elc0019]

Rented one, cost me $298+fee’s. Best quote I received to cut down 4 trees that were dangerously close to my house was $9700.
Trees had to be removed, they totaled 2 of my cars from hurricane Zeta.

[@michaelhodges2211]

Could have easily dropped this tree without lift.

[@jaykay8570]

Just topped six 40' pine trees with one. Terrifying. I used a pole saw. $130/day at my local rental place.

Very nice! All that and no damage to the fence. Well done

[@sandroserna6883]

THETOPGLOCK thx although I do like it when a crushes stuff

[@DanielinLaTuna]

That lift is a great tool. I love the Stihl chainsaw too, very reliable. PS, for the viewers: don't forget to wear a body harness, and decouple the trailer from the truck. Sometimes the self-leveling outriggers will try to lift the truck

[@johnstafford2402]

Damn....I’m gonna go get me a boom lift...be safe, make a dollar or two here and there! Most of all have fun! Awesome vid! 👍

[@BoxPlays]

I think I'll be renting one for my next two big jobs

[@trevorturk7473]

[@DanielinLaTuna]

About $300/day, delivered.

[@benkuester6778]

What model genie lift is that and is has that been able to do most of the jobs you get? --height wise?

[@sandroserna6883]

Hey 60 feet

[@derpherpp]

It took me that long to drag all my climbing gears out to the tree.

[@brianegeston9652]

Nice work!

[@sandroserna6883]

Brian Egeston thx

[@DScott8732]

[@FireStormEnergy]

good job

Shot in 1970, ehh? Must be produced by Arborpod

[@kmparrott83]

So we know you ate a time traveler cause you had amazing video quality and this equipment on January 1st 1970

[@TheAdambausch]

What model genie lift is that?

TZ-50

[@petesake813]

Yeah and what happens when a heavy branch falls on the cage? Aaargh!

[@sandroserna6883]

Will that's why I go up on the left..

[@bradmetcalf7832]

Not trying to second guess but it looks like a tree company doing this. Why not just get a rope in the tree and tie the truck on and lay it down?

[@sandroserna6883]

We're just wasting some time

[@Tabstarbelle]

No one heard of 'notching trees trunks' to get the to fall where you want? What if that saw got 'hung up' in the middle of that straight cut? Not the way I was taught to cut trees. Just saying. Notching will greatly help with where your 'piece' goes as well as lessen the chance the saw blade gets hung up in a straight saw across cut. WOW...you were lucky.

[@zackCraft-pr2xp]

This is not shot in 1970

[@sandroserna6883]

zackCraft752201 sure it was

Why tf the audio like that

[@seamussnow9555]

easy climb

[@chrisdoiley8007]

Yep waste of 300 bucks

[@jacksontuaputa4596]

Ttyuuh

[@TheSib]

You took so many branches off while the tree was standing... Why not take the time to pluck each individual pine needle before sawing? Dude, section the tree in much larger sections like 4th's, 5th's or perhaps 6th's, then disect it when it's on the ground.

[@sandroserna6883]

I was going to do it that way save time but we had plenty of time in hours showing someone how to do it the right way

[@DeezNuts-xo2ee]

Stick to the baby tree's you didn't make 1 single cut properly

[@juliehegarty2605]

Nice. Gob
