Great video! I am a 73 year old woman and I sat through the whole video with my mouth open! Couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes! Fantastic job, guys!
I’m a 71 year old lady and throughly enjoyed this. I love trees and gate to see them come down but I understand the need to have some removed. For 36 years I’ve trimmed my own trees but this year due to my physical condition I had to call a tree trimmer. Hated it, but had no choice. But I highly respect good tree trimmers. Have a blessed day!
Me too. 71 and in awe

Hello Miss. How beautiful amd expressive were your comments: I fully agree with you
I'm 67 and love to watch tree felling!
My dad did lumberjack work in Maine when he was young. The farmers in the family did their own tree work. My dad cleared an entire field for a farm friend in this area.
I have a few saws but would love to handle this large equipment.
It's too awesome.
But how many of you ladies are here to see the muscles?......!
😁😁😁😁😁
Reon has got his business sorted. Invested money in the right equipment and has a good team so jobs can get done quickly.
Are you just talking to make your self feel better? Or do you think that nobody has common signs other than yourself?????Back to your mothers basement with you Timmy

@@stephentree3466 lol I agree the guy is a douche but what does cannabis have to do with it? I know stoners who are smarter and more successful than anyone in this comment section..
@@cuddy9215 tell me one
What a great presentation. The thing I liked about Reon is everything they do as a crew was smooth and slow and all of that equaled safety. All of those guys on the ground had safety helmets with microphones on them which provided for excellent communication and all of his equipment looked either new or in excellent shape as pride in ownership and pride in workmanship can't be beat. He looks like a class act.
I'm counting atleast 1.2million worth of equipment in this video. Part of me would love to grow to this size company. Other half of me is ok with just a harness, spikes, old dump truck, ropes, and 3 chainsaws 1 pole saw. 2 part timers. Total investment 10k and almost 200k in billings. This video is exactly what I mean when people ask me questions either grow large or stay nimble with a decent living.
More than that lol
No man on ropes, no man in a bucket! What a fantastic piece of machinery! I'll bet it don't come cheap!
Looks like the truck alone is about 400k and i dont even think that comes with the cutting attachement.
We have one at our company. I think the truck along with the wood cracking and cuttting attachment was $700,000
I'm Italian, and I'm happy to see Made in Italy in the world, Merlo is an Italian company specialized in many other machines. Great job guys
Same for me as a German with the Woodcracker cutting head. It's just great seeing those well engineered machines work together.
As an Italian I find it amazing to see how many complex but very streamlined machines we have made, people think we are just the pasta guys but in reality we make alot of very advanced machines which bring alot of automation to tasks you would not have even have thought automation was possible for a decade ago.
Reon sure was accommodating for filming and explained concepts well. Sure fun to watch him and his crew working, they are very organized and fast workers.
The Merlo is basically a miniature feller buncher used in logging process. Actually surprised it has taken this long to bring to the tree service industry. It will do to this industry what the buncher did for logging. Save lives and limbs and improve operation efficiency by being much much faster. Can imagine as more competition in manufactures cost will come down and It won’t be long before every company goes this way and very little rigging and climbing trees will be required.
Tree climbing has to be among the most dangerous job you can do.And the insurance costs prove it.
It is truly amazing at how fast things can be accomplished, especially when you have a good crew that works together often and likes 1 another
And an amazing piece of equipment, lol.
accomplie accomplie...je comprends le sens de votre mot. Moi je trouve vraiment incroyable comment on peut enlever ce qui met des années à pousser...quel pouvoir nous avons !
It’s nice to see a company use its money in the right places .
That Merlo machine is amazing. Thanks for taking us along.
Reon is unique on UA-cam. You seldom find that variety of equipment in tree companies until you get to the really big outfits like Davey, and even there it is a side business due to the emphasis on right of way clearing. Reon is the man, he isn't at the mercy of a bean counter. If he can wants it and can make it pencil out, he does it. Excellent video.
Penciling out is being the bean counter.
That's a nice set up , and the crew seems to know what to do to get the job done fast . Merlo makes jobs safer also . Thx for the vid. - Ken
I saw one of these in operation, at our gun club ,in Alden, New York. I was a sight to behold. They took down the tree that was over a building, with no damage at all. It would have taken climbers, day to take it down. 4 hours from set up to cleanup, and it was done.
My son and i took out the stump, with a Rayco stump grinder. We bith belong to the club, so it was our contribution to the project.
The machines you utilize make it so much less dangerous than climbing the tree and cutting. Of course, the crane takes the cuttings away without placing each one on a line and pulley. Glad to see a Wisconsin based tree service establish itself on UA-cam. As a Central Wisconsin farm raised adult, I wish we had all this modern equipment when taking down our trees ravaged by Dutch Elm Disease. Keep up the great work and look forward to more videos.
The Merlo was amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing this video, Jake and Reon!
It's unbelievable that this machine can hold such immense objects upright, and then gradually tilt them down flat. The size of that chipper, and what it can chew up, isn't insignificant either.
I thought the same thing, a massive treetop, just held it and maneuvered like it was nothing.
What an amazing machine. Smaller so better access. No ropes, no rigging, less chance of injury. It's the future.
The Merlo has super sharp blades, cuts the tree in a few SECONDS!! Impressive. This should be in a Bond movie somehow. They had tree cutting in The World Is Not Enough. Time to do some again.
Having worked in the tree service industry, I'm amazed by these machines.
Surely could have used them in the past...
Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed watching the process!

I'm having so much fun watching your adventures, thanks for bringing us along, stay safe!!
The interview at the end was BANGGIN'. You asked killer key questions...and you were with an EXPERT! Ooops...gotta take a call (he's a busy man)....Thanks!
Wow! I was really impressed by how fast the built in saw made cuts!!! 🇨🇦
I have never see a tree cut like this, this is brilliant.
That is wild! We just had a couple two hundred year old trees taken out in our back yard and they didn’t have that kind of machine but they did a beautiful job and I give them so much respect. To watched them up in these trees and even grinding out the stump and roots was great.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
His final cut was the most impressive thing in the video!
Awesom video Jake , Reon seems to be the happiest man , the smile on his face just lights up the video , thank you for sharing , Good luck with your up coming Adventures , you are truly Blessed !!!!!
That Merlo is an impressive piece of equipment!
2 of the best in the industry…thanks guys. Reon…you show us what’s possible…your guys attitude is one of the biggest positives y’all got goin…it’s taking y’all to the top.
Rule # 1 GET IT ON THE GROUND!!
thats a badass little machine
I love how you praise people!! You are such a good example to me!! Thank you!
Y’all are having far too much fun, why not!
VISUALLY very fine camera coverage that catches what we want to see: the actual complete workings of the machine at work. TY
FANTASTIC CUTTING TREE MACHINE...WELL DONE REON....
Today's machinery is amazing! A job that would have taken many hours is done safely & in half the time. No climbing trees! Marvelous job!!
Reon, is awesome as well. Thanks for being such a great guy, if I lived in the area I would go to Reon for any of my tree needs!
Holy crap, these videos are amazing Jake, in the end after all the bad luck regarding your older channel, it truly was for the best. Much love from Romania to you and your lovely family, I really appreciate your videos. They helped me so much! Looking forward for that youtube Join membership button.
What was the bad luck in the last channel?
@@TassyDeval Jake built a awesome channel then Eastside called dibs and more less took the channel from him.
@@mileshtanner But his channel is still called guilty of treason
@@TassyDeval correct but the channel that is now “Guilty of Treeson @ eastside tree work” was his original channel and he had built it up and to 200k+ subscribers and had tons of videos that he made then eastside said that it is their intellectual property so he had to start over. He has a video over it all.
@@mileshtanner Thanks for info. all sounds iffy to me. Im sure Jakes talent and his workmanship should have been a factor that put the naming rights to a utube channel to the rear, but go figure. Is that old channel still going, and if not, what advantage was gained by eastside, except losing Jake, or did they want him gone?
Good gear means great people who do a good job
Hey. What a great video! Fantastic equipment for fast & safe, efficient residential tree cutting. Also great analysis on the equipment vs terrain. Well done! Your interview with owner of green Murlo & your closing comments & comparisions was excellent. Hope to see more videos on all of your travels & equipment features. Thx!👍👍👍👍😊🍺
How fascinating was this variety of equipment. The discussion throughout were very interesting.
WOW that merlo is a bad ass machine .
Learned a lot from this video. As a homeowner, it was interesting to learn about the options you described.
Brings back good memories of climbing trees and trimming them. I must have been nuts, but I really liked it.
Difficult job, high end equipment, very high end team. Great video. Thanks!
Technology , so amazing. Inventor struck a gold mine.
That shot @ 9:10 was nuts, I thought you were showing what was standing--not what it had in the jaws!
wanted to say you guys have hell of team work keep up the good work
OMG. I can watch this all day. Awesome video. Thanks for the adventure. This was so cool to watch. The Merlo is an absolutely amazing piece of equipment.
The Merlo is very impressive for its size. I would love to see one in person. Thank you for sharing!
Sitting in the cab of your big green machine. Looks like a fantastic way to top those trees and take them down. This is from a year ago it looks like you got a lot of subscribers. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉
I can't believe i am watching this at 56 years old 😂 it's so fascinating to me to watch this. Btw i am a woman 👍😁
You and your guys work very very hard and it’s great to see you succeed in this business
Keep up the good work
Great video & awesome machine
This was a really outstanding video documenting the memories being made by a group of young men creating memories and providing an important service to the community.
Everybody appeared safe with their gear and communications and they all seemed quite happy smiling most of the time! Nothing better than having a good job and enjoying it! Thanks to all and have a very, very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Great job! 👍👍 I saw one like it in action for the first time in 2021! It was awesome! They cut down a dying 60 year old Sycamore! Nice shade tree but very weak and trashy! They were in and out so fast! Glad it’s gone! It was dangerous!
Really well done guys. Very interesting seeing all the cranes in action. Helluva business he has there. Keep the vids coming Jacob.
You have the best crew it was something to watch
Unbelievable speed! That's the fastest tree removal I've ever witnessed!
He’ll get faster and faster with every job, and 0 lawn damage will help sell. That things a money maker!
costs a lot too...didnt you think..? How much do you estimate that machine costs.. $200k..??
@@nom5205 --and the rest!!!. I'd estimate at least a million dollars.
You are probably on the low side. Machines always make the job easier. I think the Merlo is an off shoot of the ones used in the logging industry.
That machine and the operator were perfectly suited for that job... My only question is, WHERE has that machine been for so long? !! Great video!
I think that machine is made in Italy..
@@jamestsmith4500😂
It just goes to show what can be achieved with fabulous machines and men who know exactly how to used them. The skill and coordination of these men was brilliant to watch.
Absolutely fantastic opportunity to see this toataly dumbfounded 😍 the whole thing well done fella4rs
Keep up the amazing work you do.
Love to watch this. Machines are awesome & coordination between man & machines so professional 👍
That was amazing! AND...every one of those guys had beautiful smiles.
That was a great video You Guys. Never saw one of those
Beautiful tree - beautiful equipment and beautiful work.
The Merlo tree removal hydraulic crane was amazing to watch, but not too surprising that a company has finally made a dedicated tree removal crane, since this crane is basically an evolution of the feller buncher timber harvester (the crane cuts & grapples tree sections the same way as the feller buncher), but adapted to cut at high levels.
I wouldn't call that dedicated. Its just a rotating telehandler whit a woodcracker head on it.
i live in the UK and i wish i could live in america and help use guys and do this work everyday. also that merlo was a sick machine it did it smoothly.
greetings from Down Under. fantastic job guys & awesome machinery in action
Great job! Impressive equipment. Look forward to your next video👌
This is fascinating to watch even on the tube, it must be outrageous live! My great grandson is going to get a kick out of this when he sees it! New technology and it seems safe! Are you guys able to communicate throughout the job in case you aren't able to see each other? There's a lot going on to keep up with! I'm sure you have safety measures, but give mayhem an opportunity, and he'll test you! Awesome! 😎
professional at its best, awesome guys and no one got hurt, no damage to property
Wow iv never seen one of these used for taking stuff at height that's a game changer 👏 just need a lotto win now I'd stay in trees just be massively over kitted 😂
I am going to say this is one of the best videos for this type of equipment on you tube. It is in real time so you can actually see whats going on and how its done. I have probably watch every video on here with saw grapple and tree-mec cranes and this is the best. Amazing job all around and all involved. Reon’s entire operation was efficient and well planned out. Awesome 👍🏻
Awesome! Please look at putting cranes pads under your outriggers pads. Never know what the conditions are under the asphalt or concrete. . Great Job.
Love watching masters at their craft!
Absolutely first class. The Merlo is seriously cool.. But the crew abilities, technique, equipment, chain sharpness, cutting technique,, safety tech,, from PPE to stepping behind the neighboring bole before cutting free the one held by the Merlo,, everything,, continuous street cleaning,, All first class. A pleasure to see.
That Merlo was a TREE MACHINE ! Great trip Jake; your going to have to work pretty hard to top this video ! I'll be waiting !
WOW!!!! That was awesome!! I've found a new channel to watch. I subbed and made a private list of your videos to watch. Looking forward to watching all of them!! You guys are crazy good at what you do! Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas. 🎄
Que de professionnaliste sur toute la ligne, des véhicules construit, des hommes qui travaillent bien en équipe 👌👌👌
Most real video I’ve ever seen on UA-cam.. thx brother
I began doing removals in 1972. I could not have imagined this then.
Awesome video! Sad to see the Reon Rounds adventure cone to an end, but excited to see what’s next!
Finally, a group of young guys actually WORKING! Y’all are one of a kind these days, people like use are a dying breed.
How much they make
Hey, y'all did a great presentation.... Thank you.
It's good to see equipment being used and not abused, I drove different construction equipment on London tunneling jobs that ran 24 hrs. I'd come on shift in the morning and find my nearly loader half wrecked and all the guy had done was scrape the yard.
If I was the home owner I'd would of have you leave the stump high enough to make some seats, be great for the evening sun downer drinks.
Well done and thanks for posting.
Would love to watch more. Men manning such great machines are awesome. Keep it up guys👍👍👍
Amazing very interesting.
Great job Jacob. The wave of the future. Conventional rigging still does occur in Wisconsin but the various man lifts are being utilized more and more on that level as well. Glad to se the viewership rising. Love the story you are making!
Thanks Kevin!
U tube tablets from china. Easy flex tablets for knee joints
I thought this was Wisconsin after seeing poynette on the mud flap. I used to work for Voss. I'm not totally sure but I think he was the first or one of the first to use a telescoping grapple saw on a knuckle boom truck
After seeing that pile of fire wood , that tree was a lot bigger than I thought. Nice Job Merlo and men😁
I had Reon come and cut a tree at the place that I worked maintenance at. It was a large maple. He had a stick boom come out and I cleaned it up as the dropped it with a skid steer. Great video. Great to see you guys working and the equipment that he has. Thanks!
That thing is magnificently quiet when cutting! I can't believe they ground up all that firewood though!
Incredible amount of huge equipment for such a small job. Can't imagine what you have to charge for one tree.
Yea they must be contracted by the local government or something because the amount they'd charge just to cover the costs would be a *lot*.
True, but balanced with speed to complete jobs.
Beautiful work you guys so professional!
Great vid, wish I had this kinda room on my takedowns, rarely do. I am sure you don't always have plenty of open space, but, after 31 yrs of climbing, too cheap to go into debt for one of these. Typically, in this region, phone calls about stop, between Thanksgiving, and January, sometimes into Feb. Hate sweating that pmt.
A local contractor somewhere round my way (Devon, UK) has a Merlo just like that and was working with another local tree service recently. Such a badass bit of kit - I really wish I was able to drive such a thing!
I work in a merlo dealership in the UK and those are one of the biggest machines we sell and they are considered really overkill for domestic tree surgery, so to see you guys using one and calling it small is so bizarre 😂
Enjoyed this video immensely! The action and the length.
That guy must have a huge work load to have close to a million in crane equipment
I'm guessing a shitload of EAB kill.
@@yourdaddy6030 even that. That’s a lot of trees. I do a number of ash and can’t afford a crane yet
More than a million.
Probably does a lot of state contracting
You’d have to with that kind of overhead.
Thanks for the video. It did seem that you were put in an awkward position of spectator - cameraman on that second day. I had hoped that Reon would let you touch the controls on the Merlo, but I guess between the time crunch, being a brand new machine (no scratches) and a bit complex to operate, didn't allow any down time to dive into it. Looking forward to the next guilty adventure.
