Tree removal!!! Lotta fun... Help Save The Byrd House: www.paypal.me/rwrightphotography Mail: Sidestep Adventures PO Box 206 Waverly Hall, Georgia 31831
Robert, I don't like heights very much either and my heart was in my throat the entire time that you were up on that roof! Everything is looking great, just stay safe! 🙂
It would be the slopiness and the heights that bothered me. Yikes! Couldn't do it. I had butterflies just watching you. Glad this worked out to fall with no problems. It's fun watching more and more of the house be uncovered. It's such a great old place, a real treasure.
Fun watching all the progress your making with the Byrd House. I bet it was really nice back in the 1880's. Be careful on that roof, not much to grasp on to. Be safe !!!!
Had a sudden panic attack when you got to the top and looked over the roof to the ground on the other side. I hate heights and don't even like seeing someone else up there. Glad you are okay. I did finish watching and see you made a big improvement to that side of the house. Everything seems to be coming along nicely now. Good work. Can't wait till you show more.
I'm glad you are doing good for you and your property. Also that it's not changed to development keeping it beautiful I enjoy seeing old treasures refound thanks for sharing
Wowzers! I can't get over the size of the vines attached to the trees. The pieces are incredible. It would look pretty neat for a rustic table top or sitting stools. Hope y'all didn't throw in the burn pile 😄 Great job guys!
I feel your pain, Robert! I'm afraid of heights too! The slope of that roof is too much for me!! Oh my goodness! Look at that vine! You are very brave -- good job!
@@williamkeith8944 No way sir, that tree could have turned despite the pulling strap and possibly hurt the cutter who did not even get to a safe distance away from the tree. If that guy worked for me he would have been fired right away.
@@williamkeith8944 No, this is not the smart way. These guys got lucky that tree didn't kick back and take out the wall. A small hinge cut would have prevented what you just witnessed. I'm no professional but I've fallen a lot of trees and this isn't even close to being called "the smart way".
Great job guys. It's nice to see sunny weather so you can still work outside. In Michigan it is raining dark and chilly. Happy today went so well for you. Looking forward to next adventure on the byrd ( Robert ) farm. 🔨🚜🚙😄 isn't it time for another HISTORY moment i like them 📖💓
I'm so scared of heights, it's hard for me to look down wells. I remember having to draw water from a well when growing up. I always hated that job. When we would go to the Grandparents house it was fun, they had the hand pump style. Good job Robert, and Dan. House is looking good, so much difference.
Wow that opened up that whole side of the house I see still a few trees need to go before its fully open but great job you both done Thankyou for sharing
Robert Sir you got lucky on cutting that tree down ! Please next time cut a notch on the side of direction that you want it to fall ! Glad nobody got hurt and the house wasn't damaged ! Take care , always stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
N8 sounds solid, yes the backwards crab crawl is a good way to get up a steep pitch roof. Silicone is a nice temporary fix for a small roof leak. The chimney will need more than that if the bricks mortar isn't crumbling. Love the videos
I just found and subscribed to your vlog. It’s wonderful. I have restored old homes to reside in also. It’s a journey and always enjoyed finding the history, the stories . I wish you luck and will continue your journey !😄Good luck.Good adventure and good times. I only wish your posting were numbered I have been trying to follow in order and they don’t seem to show up that way. Dated just 2 yr does t help 🥴
Wow, I had no idea that a English ivy vine could get that big. Now I know to never plant it n let it go wild. Happy to see the tree gone. Now we can see the house a lot better. Good job guys ♥️😊👍
Damn bro'. No offense, but that guy .. I'm thinking has never cut down a tree in limited space. You're damn lucky the side of your house didn't get smashed to pieces. He didn't cut out a swing side, notch ???? That's unbelievable. Not an armchair quarterback, but the notch to direct the fall is the 1st cut, then the next notch placed behind & above. With the strap tension .. that was a green stick fracture, damn close to ripping that structure up .. a bit. Rant over. Glad you accomplished your goal. Ignore my WTF moment.
I am really enjoying your content. Obviously I do not have eyes on the scene, but it seems like your working on several projects at a time. I understand why you had to clear a path to access the home. Just wondering what your prioritizing/plan of attack is?-(shed, house, land). Keep the content coming!
That’s a great question... how I try to schedule myself is one day working on the land, the next the shed, the next the house, etc. Sometimes I get off that schedule, but I try to stick to it.
I think your doing great and I enjoyed the smile on your face when you were clearing brush with your tractor. I watched some other videos on your channel and am a history buff as well. I had less than zero skills with home repair (when I was your age) until one of my friends (who was an architect) started buying fixer uppers. His dad was a Master WoodWorker and I learned a ton. I am not sure what your working with as a budget, but a dumpster on-site could help with the volume of stuff your gonna have to pitch. Several people have mentioned a leaf blower which is a good investment. Personally, I would prioritize the storage building (after initial house declutter) to have a dry secure area for materials your gonna need for the house. Enjoy the process and take care.
Oh, Robert, you must have a very thick skin! So sorry that these self-empowered critics feel it necessary to voice their negative comments on most everything that you do. In a way, social media has brought out the worst in people. Personally, I am far from being perfect. I am so proud of you and excited to see your next accomplishment! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Maybe he realizes A LOT OF PEOPLE are WORRIED about him getting HURT. And just DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN. They may not know how to express it any other way. Robert very glad no one got hurt. I honestly don't think anyone was truly putting you down. I'm pretty sure it was mainly concern for your welfare. Good luck in all of your future endeavors. Thank you for sharing with us.
I definitely appreciate the concern! Don’t get me wrong. There were some pretty rude comments I removed and I think those are what she was referring to. I always appreciate the concern and love and interest!
Very nice! I see you have a couple more big trees growing over your house. Taking all those down will really open up your yard. What I'm waiting to see is when you clear off all the vines and leaves covering the ground and are able to finally let some grass grow there and get yourself a real lawn going. That will be neat to see.
Robert you should put some feelers out to wood turners in GA. I bet they could turn some of that wisteria into something beautiful. Some of the other wood too.
I agree with Jamie Campbell. No relief notch in the fell side of the tree and I could see it doing a "barber chair" and a large chunk of that tree springing back through the wall of the house. You got lucky on that one!
Congratulations Mr. Robert’s! Love Love your New Home! Remodeling will, be much fun and heart aches as time constraints seem to get in your path! Patience sweetie. Remember, always make sure to pour a, small amount of EVOO in a, small vial you and or your family many say a, Prayer 🙏🏻 over you as you begin remodeling your beautiful 140 yrs. old home! My son bought his 110 yr. old small plantation style home in Edgefield, SC civil war homes around this one as all been damaged but, today his home is marvelous. We’re very proud of our son. He’d been able to buy, remodeled and living in his small piece of Heaven here on Earth 🌎! It pays to Be Christian ✝️✝️✝️ Believers! Praise YAHVEH! You’re just starting an remember to anoint every window, doors, entrances before you begin as well anoint yourself first, the ones coming to help you remodel asking YAHVEH EL to Keep and protect all Evil Men living and against every evil spirit and princess and principality of the Firmament trying to interfere! Remove them from your property! I’ve told you how YAHVEH caused that Criminal which climbed into our back yard running from the police jump into the behind our home! This man went to break in everyone of my neighbors when the police grabbed in as my neighbor had tackled him to the ground! When the first two police come wake me up at 3:00am. He’d wanted to check my home for this man had tried breaking into thee many homes! My home a, large Spanish design home as our property was at least 110 wide 200 ft. Length. Boat docked as this criminal pulls himself up on my dock. He’d told the police he’d seen no Zero no house on this yard he’d climbed up this dock yet, amazed were these two policeman as they’d come spoke to be the next day! Amazing how “YAHVEH EL” had blinded this mans’ eye never seeing any home! It wasn’t that he couldn’t see it Our Heavenly Father blinded his eye as he’d never seen my home. Our God Is a, Gracious and Awesome God Almighty! So, I’m pleading with you to have great Blessings in bringing This gorgeous into a, masterpiece with additional porches and maybe new rooms on the sides and or back decks. God Bless and always go with YAHVEH EL! PS: “YAHVEH” = (Hebrew) =Sacred Name of our Father: “I, AM THAT I, AM”/ ‘EL’ = (Hebrews)= “Title” of “GOD”/ “FATHER”/“CREATOR,”/“ALMIGHTY”/“LORD”/ “ABBA,” just to name of a, few names. For God! I’m praying for you which the A, Servant of Yeshua d Christos
Heights never used to bother me but now that I'm older I can get up but getting back down is a whole different story. You were really lucky the tree didn't jump the stump and take out the side of your house. The house is really starting to look so much better. Please dont tar the chimney you will eventually regret it. It needs to be properly repaired . keep Safe ❤ Keep Well ❤
I bought an old farmhouse that wasn't painted for years so I went too Lowes and found two gallon exterior paint for $7.00 something a gallon. And brightened it up. Of course since then I have put siding, windows, and a new electrical system in
Being on the roof was a bit scary. I've had bad dreams about falling my whole life. I always heard that the way to get over your fears is to face them,but it sure helps to have safety equipment. Next time wear different shoes and do be careful we don't want to lose you yet. Prayers.
The suspense is killing us! Maybe you'd let us inside for a Christmas present?🎄 Meanwhile, I think I saw the house breathe another sigh of relief! It looks sad and happy at the same time. It will smile more as the days go on... The last time I was on a pitched roof like that I was a teenager sneaking out to meet friends😉 Too young to be fearful! Thanks for the adventure!
I can only imagine what the interior of the old bird house looks like not good dry rot, water damage and vermin can really devastate a home but if the main structure is good it can be restored good luck and good friends can go along way in helping to restore this home to its former glory.
I'm proud of you for getting up there against you fear. The more you clear trees and vines away from the house the better but cover those broken windows mold will be the death of the house.
Sorry but this is the Uncle Eddie way to cut down a tree. Should have come down in sections. Should have put a notch in the direction you want it to fall. As an ER nurse I'm glad everyone is ok.
Are you gonna be able to pull that stump up from the side of the house or will it mess with the foundation? Also, can the tractor pull up stumps or are you just gonna have to burn and dig, burn and dig....or leave them there.
That tractor can probably handle small stumps but ya gotta attach it the right way so the tractor doesn’t pull itself over. I’ll just leave the stump for now. Probably cut it lower one day.
We have so many stumps in our yard from clearing a yard out of the forest. They drive me nuts and are nearly impossible to pull up. We’ve tried to burn one but it really just wouldn’t burn. I dug a small one up myself and then had to find dirt to fill in the hole. We tried to dig another and burn it lower in the ground and that only left a hole with a partly burnt stump inside...it’s a death trap when you’re walking the dog or pig at night. Our house is down in a hole sort of and we have a fence up so to fix it all we would have to take down the the fence and then find a way to get a vehicle down there without running into trees, the house or getting stuck.....yeah those stumps will be there when I’m dead.
@@corinnerenshaw3621 how lol that makes no sense sorry. You put the face cut in front and cut from the back lol. This is what I do for a living lmfao. What they did was extremely dangerous and not very bright that could have hurt someone and cause damage to the property. They got lucky
Wow that trunk looked beautiful with those vines. I know the ivy is invasive and not healthy for the tree or the environment... But it sure was pretty!
Yep. Should have notched the front first. That's called a "barber chair" when the tree splits like that and if it kicks back or sideways it can kill you.
My dad took me on roofs a lot when I was a kid, so it's not the height that gets me. It's that I'm so comfortable on a roof or a ladder that I forget I'm not on flat ground!!
Belle me also. why is that i wonder! i used to climb drain pipes on buildings and always be up on roofs. even climbing ladders make me edgy nowadays. I will even admit some amusement park rides scare me off now. is it that i am wiser of the risks or not as brave or a bit of both?
@@insertnamehere5146 When you are young, you feel like superman. As you get older, you no longer see high risk activities as risk free like you did in your youth. Me too!!
He sure needed a felling notch on that tree. When it split and "barber chaired" it easily could have hurt him or kicked back into the house. Making a pull off the implement is a sure way to be making expensive repairs. Always pull off the drawbar. Just friendly advice learned the hard way years ago.
Tree removal!!! Lotta fun...

Did you receive a package from me? Friday 11th???
Robert...you are blessed with great friends!!! This property is looking good!!
Thanks Robert for your updates on the work at the Byrd farm. Your guardian angel must be working overtime. Take care.
Robert, I don't like heights very much either and my heart was in my throat the entire time that you were up on that roof! Everything is looking great, just stay safe! 🙂
I'm so proud of you Robert!! I love watching the progress you are making!! Be safe and God Bless!!
I do not like heights either. I can get up but I can not get down. Because I have to look down no way. You are a brave soul. It is looking amazing.
ditto.
It would be the slopiness and the heights that bothered me. Yikes! Couldn't do it. I had butterflies just watching you. Glad this worked out to fall with no problems. It's fun watching more and more of the house be uncovered. It's such a great old place, a real treasure.
I know you're glad that's done! The place is really starting to shape up.
Great job, you two! The house looks a lot better with that tree down.
So... how many people were yelling "cut a notch on the side where it falls"... So lucky there was no 'kick back'...
Should have come down in sections.
Fun watching all the progress your making with the Byrd House. I bet it was really nice back in the 1880's. Be careful on that roof, not much to grasp on to. Be safe !!!!

Well done Daniel and Robert. Looks great!
Wowzers! I can't get over the size of the vines attached to the trees. The pieces are incredible. It would look pretty neat for a rustic table top or sitting stools. Hope y'all didn't throw in the burn pile 😄
Great job guys!
That would be cool. Mother nature is amazing. I loved looking at the sizes of the vines on that one cut. Pretty cool
I suggested before that something should be done with those vines, they’re actually pretty cool looking.
I feel your pain, Robert! I'm afraid of heights too! The slope of that roof is too much for me!! Oh my goodness! Look at that vine! You are very brave -- good job!
No notch in front ? Guys go buy a lottery ticket, you have just been incredibly lucky.
Nah, that stressed strap pulling on the tree assured that it would fall just right. These guys did it smart.
@@williamkeith8944 No way sir, that tree could have turned despite the pulling strap and possibly hurt the cutter who did not even get to a safe distance away from the tree. If that guy worked for me he would have been fired right away.

@@williamkeith8944 I was trained and certified to fall trees and that is not anyway smart way or right way of doing it !
Great job guys. It's nice to see sunny weather so you can still work outside. In Michigan it is raining dark and chilly. Happy today went so well for you. Looking forward to next adventure on the byrd ( Robert ) farm. 🔨🚜🚙😄 isn't it time for another HISTORY moment i like them 📖💓
Love the tractor and old truck you use! Just perfect for this job.
I could have gotten up on the roof but getting down would have been a different story. I’d still be up there 😂
I'm so scared of heights, it's hard for me to look down wells. I remember having to draw water from a well when growing up. I always hated that job. When we would go to the Grandparents house it was fun, they had the hand pump style. Good job Robert, and Dan. House is looking good, so much difference.
Its not the fall that hurts ,its that sudden stop at the bottom.. glad you didnt fall
You needed that extension cord again! 😂
Every time you're out there it's like Christmas! Amazing stuff being revealed!
HÀ! HÀ! Yes, the ground does move or bounce as a, trampoline does! That’s the bad side of falling from any height! HÀ!
@@meriajohnfroe4205 No it is the sudden stop at the end that is bad
Wow that opened up that whole side of the house I see still a few trees need to go before its fully open but great job you both done Thankyou for sharing

Always notch your tree so it doesnt split up the middle. Lucky you didnt peel the siding and window sill off.
Yes always in the direction you want it to fall. I think this guy was just a buddy with a chain saw
I’m thinking that when he starts cutting. I cringed as the trunk rubbed its way up the siding lol.
That looked easy enough!!! Cool video Robert!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless you!!!
N8 sounds solid, yes the backwards crab crawl is a good way to get up a steep pitch roof. Silicone is a nice temporary fix for a small roof leak. The chimney will need more than that if the bricks mortar isn't crumbling. Love the videos
You need to get a brick mason to inspect that chimney and tuck point it for you.
Great videos on tuck pointing on yt
Its almost past that point. It will need torn down or an inside flue put in it.
Is there a video that shows the inside of the house?
I just found and subscribed to your vlog. It’s wonderful. I have restored old homes to reside in also. It’s a journey and always enjoyed finding the history, the stories . I wish you luck and will continue your journey !😄Good luck.Good adventure and good times.

Thank you and welcome!!! Best I can recommend is going to the “saving the old Byrd farm” playlist
Wow , what a difference . Good job guys . See you on the next one 🙋
Wow, I had no idea that a English ivy vine could get that big. Now I know to never plant it n let it go wild. Happy to see the tree gone. Now we can see the house a lot better. Good job guys ♥️😊👍
English Ivy is invasive but nowhere near as bad as wisteria
Yahoo! I'm already looking forward to the before and after pictures when the house and yard are ALL DONE!
Damn bro'. No offense, but that guy .. I'm thinking has never cut down a tree in limited space. You're damn lucky the side of your house didn't get smashed to pieces. He didn't cut out a swing side, notch ???? That's unbelievable. Not an armchair quarterback, but the notch to direct the fall is the 1st cut, then the next notch placed behind & above. With the strap tension .. that was a green stick fracture, damn close to ripping that structure up .. a bit.
Rant over. Glad you accomplished your goal. Ignore my WTF moment.
Jamie Campbell That's Ed Zackery what I was thinking. The chainsaw guy is not a faller by trade obviously. lol
Good morning robert .hope your having a pleasant saturday.
I am really enjoying your content. Obviously I do not have eyes on the scene, but it seems like your working on several projects at a time.

I had less than zero skills with home repair (when I was your age) until one of my friends (who was an architect) started buying fixer uppers. His dad was a Master WoodWorker and I learned a ton. I am not sure what your working with as a budget, but a dumpster on-site could help with the volume of stuff your gonna have to pitch. Several people have mentioned a leaf blower which is a good investment. Personally, I would prioritize the storage building (after initial house declutter) to have a dry secure area for materials your gonna need for the house. Enjoy the process and take care.

After 3 years on UA-cam I’m pretty used to it 😉
Maybe he realizes A LOT OF PEOPLE are WORRIED about him getting HURT.
And just DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN.

Have you made a video of the inside of the Byrd house?
Very brave, watching regularly 👏 from York, 🇬🇧
I agree with Jamie Campbell. No relief notch in the fell side of the tree and I could see it doing a "barber chair" and a large chunk of that tree springing back through the wall of the house. You got lucky on that one!

Jack and the beanstalk !!
I don’t do heights either. It’s not the fall that hurts but the quick stop at the bottom. 😬😬😬
Robert I too don't like heights much either. Am there with you.
I know there's a lot of comments on here already. I just watch this holy crap this brings back memories running from trees coming down! Awesomeness,!
Where’s your electrical chord safety harness? The height bothers me just looking down as you film!
Wondering why you don't put some plastic or something over the missing window panes. Does that mean the floor inside is rotted out?
House looks bigger now👍🍻
I bought an old farmhouse that wasn't painted for years so I went too Lowes and found two gallon exterior paint for $7.00 something a gallon.
And brightened it up.
Of course since then I have put siding, windows, and a new electrical system in
Wow! Thought it was going to peel the siding off!
I wonder if you can make this house livable one day? And how long.?
I don't suppose you heard me holler from the future, Hey stick your pruner in your back pocket! Before you go up that ladder. LOL
Hahaha
Its not the heights that are scary, its the hitting the ground that is. Looks so much better, happy to see that tree disappear. Thanks for video.
Being on the roof was a bit scary. I've had bad dreams about falling my whole life. I always heard that the way to get over your fears is to face them,but it sure helps to have safety equipment. Next time wear different shoes and do be careful we don't want to lose you yet. Prayers.
The suspense is killing us! Maybe you'd let us inside for a Christmas present?🎄
Meanwhile, I think I saw the house breathe another sigh of relief! It looks sad and happy at the same time. It will smile more as the days go on...
The last time I was on a pitched roof like that I was a teenager sneaking out to meet friends😉 Too young to be fearful!
Thanks for the adventure!
Oh I'd be so sick up there! Glad you got down safe! House is looking good
I can only imagine what the interior of the old bird house looks like not good dry rot, water damage and vermin can really devastate a home but if the main structure is good it can be restored good luck and good friends can go along way in helping to restore this home to its former glory.
Height or pitch don't bother me! It's the sudden stop at the end of a fall that bothers me!🙃 keep up the good work!
That made a big difference on that part of the house!
I'm proud of you for getting up there against you fear. The more you clear trees and vines away from the house the better but cover those broken windows mold will be the death of the house.
I am definitely going to get to those windows, but they have been uncovered for a very, very long time.
Watching you go up w/o anyway to be secure made my stomach drop when you got to the top😄.
Is it lunch time or stump time ?
i learnt a new word today it was slopeyness
Sorry but this is the Uncle Eddie way to cut down a tree. Should have come down in sections. Should have put a notch in the direction you want it to fall. As an ER nurse I'm glad everyone is ok.
question..... is this a project or are you going to live there??
Are you gonna be able to pull that stump up from the side of the house or will it mess with the foundation? Also, can the tractor pull up stumps or are you just gonna have to burn and dig, burn and dig....or leave them there.
That tractor can probably handle small stumps but ya gotta attach it the right way so the tractor doesn’t pull itself over. I’ll just leave the stump for now. Probably cut it lower one day.
Put a dynamite in it kaboom, good idea maybe not.
We have so many stumps in our yard from clearing a yard out of the forest. They drive me nuts and are nearly impossible to pull up. We’ve tried to burn one but it really just wouldn’t burn. I dug a small one up myself and then had to find dirt to fill in the hole. We tried to dig another and burn it lower in the ground and that only left a hole with a partly burnt stump inside...it’s a death trap when you’re walking the dog or pig at night. Our house is down in a hole sort of and we have a fence up so to fix it all we would have to take down the the fence and then find a way to get a vehicle down there without running into trees, the house or getting stuck.....yeah those stumps will be there when I’m dead.
The roof looked surprisingly a lot better than I expected it to look.
I feel your pain, I hate heights so much Im happiest Underground! Keep up the good work and stay safe, we want to see more adventures!
Looking much better around the place!
Put the saw down before someone gets hurt. Plus he almost smashed the side of your house. Always put a face cut first.
There was not much room to put a notch, unless he used an ax !
@@corinnerenshaw3621 how lol that makes no sense sorry. You put the face cut in front and cut from the back lol. This is what I do for a living lmfao. What they did was extremely dangerous and not very bright that could have hurt someone and cause damage to the property. They got lucky
Did you buy the property? Where is all the junk going?
What is the History behind this house?
Y’all gotta educate yourselves on tree felling. You got lucky. There was no need to pull that tree and you should have notched the falling side.
Notching don't always work though.
Good job Rob .
Im so jaloux you can do that. Thanx for charing it 😊
I don't like heights either! Ladders scare me. LoL 🤣!
Hey Robert was that keg your cold snack dispenser??
Man I wish...
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG maybe you should get a cold one put it on ice out there you'll have all kinds of help then...lol
hahahah right
Wow that trunk looked beautiful with those vines. I know the ivy is invasive and not healthy for the tree or the environment... But it sure was pretty!
Whers your notch ????? Youre lucky to be alive, perfect way to create a widow maker, that backstrap was dangerous.
Your buddy needs to watch some video's on how to cut a tree down. He's lucky it didn't rip siding off the house.
Love ur video's brother
I feel you on the heights. Be safe
When u have to fill out the accident report ... I believe the big fellers last words ,, were ,, “better let my saw warm up “ ... 😁
very nice.. I love it.. !!!
Putting yourself In harms way but glad you got the job done Robert!
Haha I was far away from the danger zone on the tractor pulling it over. Unless you meant the roof.... that’s another story 😂
Yep. Should have notched the front first. That's called a "barber chair" when the tree splits like that and if it kicks back or sideways it can kill you.
wow... without the tree....you can see so much more of the house
Saying a pray for you Robert! . Be careful!
As I've gotten older - heights are a problem for me also.
My dad took me on roofs a lot when I was a kid, so it's not the height that gets me. It's that I'm so comfortable on a roof or a ladder that I forget I'm not on flat ground!!
Belle me also. why is that i wonder! i used to climb drain pipes on buildings and always be up on roofs. even climbing ladders make me edgy nowadays. I will even admit some amusement park rides scare me off now. is it that i am wiser of the risks or not as brave or a bit of both?
@@insertnamehere5146 When you are young, you feel like superman.
As you get older, you no longer see high risk activities as risk free like you did in your youth.
Me too!!
It's not so much the height--it's the prospect of falling!
Holy crap you did it! Congratulations!
He sure needed a felling notch on that tree. When it split and "barber chaired" it easily could have hurt him or kicked back into the house. Making a pull off the implement is a sure way to be making expensive repairs. Always pull off the drawbar. Just friendly advice learned the hard way years ago.
