You wasn't joking when you said she was big. Lord have mercy. Always enjoy watching your videos Chris. God Bless you and yours brother. Keep up the amazing work.
"I'll be nice and take this other stump out also while I'm here for the customer". Now how many times has anybody heard a contractor speak those words. Only Chris. That's what separates Chris, from the rest. Nice work as always brother👍👊💪
DUDEZILLA! The end of the video when you take out the other stump is what makes you stand out! It's the stuff like this that makes customers ALWAYS recommend you to others!!!!! The little things add up!!!!
Man that's a nice looking KW.We had a huge white oak that luckily got cut down before it could fall on the house.You can pretty much guarantee one thing depends how a tree falls on a house even after repairs it will never be same because of the impact to the foundation.
Logs that big allows you to cut table top sized slabs 2 or 3 inches thick that are worth hundreds of dollars each, maybe even more if the grain patterns are amazing. You need a big ass sawmill though, lol. Anyway, was wondering if you'd rip out that other stump when I first seen it. And you did. You're a nice guy Chris.
I love your channel. I retired 35 years a license general contractor. I loved doing this stuff. Great job. I bet you make slot of money. My problem was hiring good workers.
I don’t think the whole was big enough to get the hole tree in ! I used hole, whole ,but it don’t look quite right. LOL. Please tell me you sawed lumber out of that tree. The pattern oak makes in large trees is so different than smaller trees. If it was sawed how many board feet were in it
This looks like so much fun. I am watching this dreaming of driving tractors instead of working an IT job. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!
I hope Zach brought extra chains,saws,balls,and whatever it will take.i like the way you take on these small jobs with your cohorts.impressive as always😎😎👍👍
I have a firm belief once you get all the quirks out of the Orange Hitachi someone will be highly interested in buying it from you with a little more cash in hand. I see a trend, another Volvo will fall into the market and you are going to grab it, just you wait. It's good to see someone who takes initiative and rebuilds something that still has worth.
I remember a big cottonwood stump. The tree had been felled, with 3 ft. remaining. The customer wanted it cut as close to the ground as possible. My 36" inch bar reached the middle with maybe a 1/2 " to spare. I worked my way around the stump and met up exactly with my starting cut. The stump fell straight down and pinched the bar, with no remaining uncut wood. I was pretty experienced, but nobody is that good.
When Tirek destroyed the Ponyville library tree they dug up the root ball and hung it from Twilights castle ceiling. A task which looks even more impressive seeing the Volvo struggle :o)
Cotontop3 will see this video at some point and think about that Husqvarna 572 of his cutting that massive oak down to size. Nice job taking care of it, guys.
Damn !!! Judging by the water that filled the hole u dug for stump I'd guess that wet area was why it grew in leaps and bounds and probably also contributed to more surface roots rather than deeper tap roots to keep it locked in. U think ?
Zach’s saw got the job done and that’s all that matters, too many people got all the gear but no idea, as Chris shows with him having to put other people’s mistakes right.
There aren't many noncommercial bandsaws that can handle that load. Bet that log in the pile would have some great figure in it. Where is Matt Cremona when you need him!
Most mills don’t want tree that came from residential areas . To much risk of sawing into steel . And in the mill I work in we couldn’t get it in the mill it’s so big .
Hey, I was thinking that same thing about that other stump. I was wondering why doesn't he take out that other stump since he is sitting there... Congrats on being a good business owner.
You wasn't joking when you said she was big. Lord have mercy. Always enjoy watching your videos Chris. God Bless you and yours brother. Keep up the amazing work.
Should've brought that 6' oak log to Matt Cremona.
His home made bandsaw mill would've cut some great slabs worth a lot of cash.
Created nice looking yard there. Nice looking job 👍☕️🍀
DIY wood crafters would love to get ahold of a 72" slice of wood. Make nice coffee tables, couch tables etc.
Perfect job for stress relief. Looks fun
"I'll be nice and take this other stump out also while I'm here for the customer".
Now how many times has anybody heard a contractor speak those words.
Only Chris.
That's what separates Chris, from the rest.
Nice work as always brother👍👊💪
That's the truth. Only Chris would do that. He's a good person and a wonderful friend. Good job guys.
What part of the country is this?
Chris is in North Carolina
That 6BG1 turbo intercooled Isuzu is one sweet engine. I have worked on a lot of them.
Nice job done there Chris, have a Happy Independence day America, Tom from England.

The log you pushed back into the woods would make some real interesting table tops too.

That brush pile is going to be home to all kinds of critters!
I have been seeing the work that you do and all of the work you do is outstanding, keep up the great work.

Now that is a tree! Wowza Jack is going to be excited

Summer. Winter OUTSIDE weather dictates work.
Chris, Zach, You are a very good team together as well as with Charlie, good to have such friends. That's GOLD
That’s a beautiful Kenworth
Excellent job, nice clean up.
I was hoping you were going to save more of that wood for lumber it sure will make for some good lumber for a house maybe
it'd be funny as hell if you went back in a few years and found that the big stump had started to grow sucker saplings off it.
The 4th of July Holiday just got a Whole LOT Better with Chris and the Big Volvo Machine. 👍👍👍
I wish I lived close to this place, I would love to have some of the medium branches for projects, cut them into slabs and boards and make stuff.
I hope Zach brought extra chains,saws,balls,and whatever it will take.i like the way you take on these small jobs with your cohorts.impressive as always😎😎👍👍
Lots of good wood for the saw mill or for the fireplace on a cold day.

That was a big tree. Great video today Chris 👍. Keep on making videos.
I really do not think it will grow another tree🤣! But it looks like you've planted it correctly who knows miracles do happen.
I think you made the Hitachi mad when you bought the Volvo.
Naw. Leave the two of them alone for an hour and you'll get a litter of Kubotas in the spring.
The part with all of the branches that you put in the woods would have made some good looking slabs if there was anybody doing that in the area.
I wondered why that didn't get taken somewhere.
Those parts were split by crash of the tree.
I can’t believe all that oak wasn’t used as firewood by someone, oak is the very best.
Great job. Would love to see you go back in 6 months for a re-cap
that looked like a gorgeous black walnut tree!!!!
That was interesting! What a load of oak lumber that will make,..I hope.
Excellent job and video.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sure glad I'm not the only one impressed with the Kenworth that got the excavator to the job. 👍
Darn that owner was lucky it fell the way it did. It would have turned his house to kindle.
At least his kids would have tree house then 😁

wedges?
@@northmanlogging2769 nope
The slabs that trunk will make..... some lucky sawmill is going to have one heck of a satisfying day.
this is fun! the sound of the excavator is soothing in a way.
first time I've EVER seen someone ACTUALLY know how to run a chainsaw !!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB ON BUCKING TREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of people do not realize it, but just running an excavator, dozier, bob cat, etc., can wear you out too! To them looks easy!
👍 another great job done!
God bless
Stay safe

Did you leave that big snarled up log in the brush pile. It is probably worth more in lumber than that clean wood.
You handle your excavator like a surgeon with a scalpel. You are the best. Love your videos. Dr. Excavator. Let's dig.
I see you still got that old boy with that beautiful kw hauling your equipment for you. Thats awesome
Is there a reason you didn't just bury the stump upside down? Seems it would have been easier. Nice job.
Big log good job helping your buddy!
Very enjoyable Chris , thanks .
Using an Echo on that tree lol Zach must be getting paid by the hour
That thing was struggling big time
Top Handel echos are awesome saws. Start getting in to full size saws and this is what you get. Homeowner saws all they are
@@harleylane4370 that's bs.
@@Broddi169 there is a reason I have 3 echo top handle saws and only two husky top handle saws that are covered in dust bunnies
Nice job Chris 👍
According to a tree age calculator I have, that tree was +/- 320 years old if it was a white oak and about 280 years old if it was a red oak.
Damn !!! Judging by the water that filled the hole u dug for stump I'd guess that wet area was why it grew in leaps and bounds and probably also contributed to more surface roots rather than deeper tap roots to keep it locked in. U think ?
Hope you and your family are having a blessed 4th of July weekend
If it wasn't oak, some wood turners club would have liked the stump. Makes for nice grain in your pieces. Oak's a bit tough for most turners, though.
Zach’s saw got the job done and that’s all that matters, too many people got all the gear but no idea, as Chris shows with him having to put other people’s mistakes right.
Someone making those "rustic" tabletops would pay good money for that lump stuck in the woods - put it on Ebay: "collect from roadside..."
There aren't many noncommercial bandsaws that can handle that load. Bet that log in the pile would have some great figure in it. Where is Matt Cremona when you need him!
@@humbleheart7196 In NY!
Grew fast with all that ground water.
A oak like that size fell in my property spanning over a creek 20 years ago and it is still there and still massive
if you keep both machines you could have them on 2 different jobs at the same time
Enjoyed watching the video Chris 😊
The weights of logs he's cut are interesting - would be a good contest.
Wow, there goes a couple winters worth of firewood lol
I WOULD HIRE THAT DUDE RUNNING THE CHAINSAW!!!!!!!!
He needed one of Buckin Billy Rays old ported McCulloch power saws with a 4' blade!
Awesome Job!!
Good job Chris. Happy 4th!
Looked like after that stump gave you such a fit, you took out some frustration on those tree limbs. Haha.
Sure will make some nice lumber !
I Enjoyed watching the video Chris 😊
There is enough board feet in that tree to build a house. I can't believe a local mill wouldn't want it.
I would hope a mill would want that. You could get some beautiful slabs out of that. Full sized table slabs.
Most mills don’t want tree that came from residential areas . To much risk of sawing into steel . And in the mill I work in we couldn’t get it in the mill it’s so big .
😀👍👍🍁
lot of the mills have saws for the average tree size to mass cut the forested timber, that log probably would require a special mill.
A winter of firewood, a house full of heirloom oak furniture, and maybe enough profit from slabs to pay for the clean up?
How long was the big end of the log ? Sure glad it got hauled off, I hope to sawmill.
Might better check under your Hitachi for hemorrhoids after all that heavy lifting. Lol
That's a big ass tree. I'm wondering the weight of the trunk that was left in the woods. Was also hoping it could have been used for firewood.
That beautifully maintained '68 Kenworth. The video you did on it a month ago. Hard to believe it's got 7,000,000 miles on it.
that oak stump is worth a lot of money to someone making wood turnings like bowls.
bowls? Damn man thats a big bowl! My ex wife needs a bowl that size but nobody else needs one i wouldnt imagine
It would take the worlds biggest lathe to turn it! You could use hand tools and lancelot tools and turn it into a bathtub!
I just knew kubota vs pumpkin pie was coming. I know you didn’t like loosing Chris hahaha😃
Wowww One Huge Tree To Clean Up HITACHI baeutefull Like my friend 👍 💯✔️
Hope you had a safe and productive fourth.
Nice looking truck
Look at the beautiful wood
Nice wildlife home for critters
That's why Zack was over helping you grind up the logs/brush on your fence line, he needed some help with that tree.
Nice work, Chris. Happy 4th buddy
If something gives you a “Fit”, Dig a Larger Hole and put the Person or Item in the Hole. 😬 👍
S S S
That tree is worth a lot. That is one big tree. Six foot just wow.😳
..GOOD ONE, NICE JOB,...KEEP SAFE...
Hey, I was thinking that same thing about that other stump. I was wondering why doesn't he take out that other stump since he is sitting there... Congrats on being a good business owner.
Excavators ANd chainsaws in one video!!?...Im in heaven! (nice job btw, your attitude makes these videos fun)
dam can you imagine the oak boards out of that. what a tree.
Person that cleared my SILs house lot made the driveway where they buried the stumps and branches. 20 years later and she has to park in the yard.
So we learned you can put a round peg in a square hole!
Then make it disappear as if it was never there 😂😂
Yea definitely would have slabbed that trunk up would make for some nice table tops
Was expecting a nice bon fire knowing how much you like to burn. :) Nice job.
I can’t count the amount of times I’ve needed you on my cleanup sites 😳🥺👍🏻🤣
I am always surprised by how soft a touch you have when picking up items.
