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!!!!
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😎😎👍👍
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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 .
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!
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.
I wouldn't have tossed that big piece with all the branch stumps, it had tons of good lumber in it. I've seen standing stump that was 20 feet tall and a good 15 feet across. It was a logged cedar on the farm I grew up on. ( Western Red Cedar ) But then, I also saw a 150 foot tall alder crush a car from bumper to bumper during a wind storm. Luckily the insurance agent was in the house to sell us insurance when it crushed his company car. ( 3rd time that week he wrote off a company car he was driving ) He was parked beside the previously mentioned stump.
Well Chris I think that’s the biggest long that you have handled in your career I believe that babies gonna make some fine looking lumber. Great video brother y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming
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.
Created nice looking yard there. Nice looking job 👍☕️🍀
"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
Nice job done there Chris, have a Happy Independence day America, Tom from England.

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.
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😎😎👍👍
The 4th of July Holiday just got a Whole LOT Better with Chris and the Big Volvo Machine. 👍👍👍

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!
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.
Perfect job for stress relief. Looks fun
Now that is a tree! Wowza Jack is going to be excited
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!
Summer. Winter OUTSIDE weather dictates work.
That 6BG1 turbo intercooled Isuzu is one sweet engine. I have worked on a lot of them.
That’s a beautiful Kenworth
I have been seeing the work that you do and all of the work you do is outstanding, keep up the great work.

Chris, Zach, You are a very good team together as well as with Charlie, good to have such friends. That's GOLD
DIY wood crafters would love to get ahold of a 72" slice of wood. Make nice coffee tables, couch tables etc.
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.
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.
Great job. Would love to see you go back in 6 months for a re-cap
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.
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.
Lots of good wood for the saw mill or for the fireplace on a cold day.
Sure glad I'm not the only one impressed with the Kenworth that got the excavator to the job. 👍
That was interesting! What a load of oak lumber that will make,..I hope.
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.
That was a big tree. Great video today Chris 👍. Keep on making videos.
first time I've EVER seen someone ACTUALLY know how to run a chainsaw !!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB ON BUCKING TREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wedges?

You handle your excavator like a surgeon with a scalpel. You are the best. Love your videos. Dr. Excavator. Let's dig.
I just knew kubota vs pumpkin pie was coming. I know you didn’t like loosing Chris hahaha😃
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.
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 😁
@@roadrash90 ĺĺlllll
2p000ppp
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.
Hope you and your family are having a blessed 4th of July weekend
That's why Zack was over helping you grind up the logs/brush on your fence line, he needed some help with that tree.
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.
I see you still got that old boy with that beautiful kw hauling your equipment for you. Thats awesome
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!
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.
Excellent job, nice clean up.
👍 another great job done!
God bless
Stay safe
that looked like a gorgeous black walnut tree!!!!
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
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
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 ?
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.
If something gives you a “Fit”, Dig a Larger Hole and put the Person or Item in the Hole. 😬 👍
S S S
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!
Was expecting a nice bon fire knowing how much you like to burn. :) Nice job.
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.
Biggest oak tree I've ever seen. Some would say what a bunch of firewood
Hope you had a safe and productive fourth.
I really do not think it will grow another tree🤣! But it looks like you've planted it correctly who knows miracles do happen.
The weights of logs he's cut are interesting - would be a good contest.
Did you leave that big snarled up log in the brush pile. It is probably worth more in lumber than that clean wood.
He needed one of Buckin Billy Rays old ported McCulloch power saws with a 4' blade!
Wow, there goes a couple winters worth of firewood lol
Big log good job helping your buddy!
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!
Is there a reason you didn't just bury the stump upside down? Seems it would have been easier. Nice job.
dam can you imagine the oak boards out of that. what a tree.
I can’t count the amount of times I’ve needed you on my cleanup sites 😳🥺👍🏻🤣
Might better check under your Hitachi for hemorrhoids after all that heavy lifting. Lol
Excellent job and video.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
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.
Nice work, Chris. Happy 4th buddy
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
Looked like after that stump gave you such a fit, you took out some frustration on those tree limbs. Haha.
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.
Very enjoyable Chris , thanks .
if you keep both machines you could have them on 2 different jobs at the same time
Good job Chris. Happy 4th!
I was just wondering.. do people not use theose giant stumps and the trunk with all the branches cut off it for carvings?
Wowww One Huge Tree To Clean Up HITACHI baeutefull Like my friend 👍 💯✔️
I am always surprised by how soft a touch you have when picking up items.
That tree is worth a lot. That is one big tree. Six foot just wow.😳
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.
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 😂😂
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 don’t need to sell the hitachi ,,because Justin will always need help with a bigger excavator
A winter of firewood, a house full of heirloom oak furniture, and maybe enough profit from slabs to pay for the clean up?
Excavators ANd chainsaws in one video!!?...Im in heaven! (nice job btw, your attitude makes these videos fun)
Zack looks like a little kid on that tree, that thing is humongous CHRIS!
I think we're going to need a bigger log spliter!
I wouldn't have tossed that big piece with all the branch stumps, it had tons of good lumber in it.
I've seen standing stump that was 20 feet tall and a good 15 feet across. It was a logged cedar on the farm I grew up on. ( Western Red Cedar )

( 3rd time that week he wrote off a company car he was driving ) He was parked beside the previously mentioned stump.
How long was the big end of the log ? Sure glad it got hauled off, I hope to sawmill.
Zach wants to know why you didn’t lend him your new chaps. Outstanding video!
Nice wildlife home for critters
Yeah it is a big difference when you have the right ones on the job .
Man look at that ground water. That house would have some good footings under it.
Well Chris I think that’s the biggest long that you have handled in your career I believe that babies gonna make some fine looking lumber. Great video brother y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming
Log that is not long. Damn automatic spelling. Lmaoooo
