This is my favorite video as mentioned by others because these trees are at my home. One local company I called for an estimate came and didn't bother giving me a price I imagine because it's kind of a squirrely job. Thank You Spencer!
Squirrely for sure! Thanks John!
@@metaspencer nice work
I really like the way you work. Calm and with an eye on everything. Especialy that you leave the workplace tidy. Thanks for showing!
Thanks for that! Much appreciated ... on the way home after that job I got a ping on my phone and saw that the customer left a good review for my biz on Google. Good stuff :)
@@metaspencer Well deserved! Greetings
Nice getting paid to bring fire wood home ✊️ but those ground guys are costing way too much 😂 Nice work Spencer 👍
And lots of fire wood! Splitting it up this weekend for the woodshed
I really really ❤️ your mullet mowhawk. 😆. Awesome work as always Spencer.
MulletHawk! woot! :)
@@metaspencer love it. Wish I could grow one.
Your little machine sure has earned its value for pushing and heavy lifting for the clean up crew. Nice to see your lovely wife helping out!❤
Yeah that little machine is a HUGE time saver. If it croaked out tomorrow I'd definitely buy another one
great job! I love taking a bath in bar oil.. Thanks Stihl!
yeah big oil spill at the base of the tree I kept stepping in
That tree #8 top was legendary!! Nice!
Yeah it was one BIG old top ... the kind of thing that can rattle the nerves for sure
Hi I love your channel your the best!!
Thanks buddy! Always some good times out there
This is the first time that I have noticed you doing the horizontal cut of the notch first; and several times too. 😉
I must have been in some kind of horizontal vibe on that day :)
I’m a few hours from you in New York. Have the same business model. Dead ash trees make up 50% of the work load, and they definitely keep thing interesting. Also lots of raking for the cleanup crew..
Sounds good! Lots of work for sure. Stay safe
Glad to see more tree videos.
Thanks buddy
Enjoyed the video. Great "personal narrative".😊 Fun trees to climb and demolish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely fun, if sketchy :)
Good to watch you work. I have never had a tree service fill in the holes they left, let alone reseed. You do a great job.
Thanks! Yeah, I tend to think that the finishing work is where referrals come from :)
What an awesome job.
Go Melissa Go!
Big crispy tops.
Stay safe
Thanks for the encouragement! good times out there for sure
Awesome job brither
Thanks 👍
Glad you got through those safely Spencer. The borer has finally made it to my land. I found the first dead one this spring. You going to use the ash wood to fill that need firewood shed?
Yeah the wood splits great (except the really decayed sections) ... I hear that in Vermont just a few ash trees are affected ... so it's a slow spread of the beetle
Maybe not for a foot deep crater, but try a pitch fork to loosen dirt up. I was amazed when I saw it work with a tree crew. I’ve“filled” in many a crater with it since.
I've heard that tip on the pitchfork before and somehow keep forgetting to pick one up! thanks for the reminder man
That's a damn good comment
Nice job Spencer thanks for the video brother. Made my lunch that much better
Lunch hour! I hope it was a good one!
Man your wracking ball buddy.
You get things done 👍
One piece at a time and a lot of work can get done! :)
Nice cutting man!!
Thanks man!
Well thank God for the small yellow bus... I guess your adult diapers work great on those ash trees.. Your groundies are doing exceptional work 😊..Hope next time no more ash trees 🙏🙏
Yeah the adult diapers clip right into my Petzl saddle :) No 2511 on this one, but next time!
Because of such oil dumps, I prefer the screw-in caps,
I need some of those caps! The oil dump really sucked ... made an oil slick under the tree
excellent work Spencer
stay safe stay healthy
Thanks buddy
This is my favorite video yet haha
Woohoo!
I have the 1.0 I love it Game Changer on my back
I keep hearing that ... sounds like a good one
Ever do a "how I did it" video on sharpening chains? I suck at it.
A video like that has been on my list for a while ... I should get it done! Thanks for the idea
Great content. Always curious about other peoples comfort levels climbing crispy ash trees.
I do it often, with the same ground crew:)
-Best part about solo work is there’s no one there to rush you. Down side, there’s no one there.
Comfort level for me up there on a dead ash is about zero. But I sometimes find myself up there nonetheless :)
Feel the cleanup.can Barley walk hurt my back on mini skid memorial week it's buldged or slipped.can climb but dragging brush is deadly in this heat my back almost fell over. Can't get dr.they just charge for tests
@@Sethhaun78 hang in there and rest up man!
Emerald ash borer has killed almost all the ash here in Michigan
And they were such nice trees
At least the ground crew showed up for work. Didn't stick around long.
Yeah she's got another full time job so I'm glad to have the help!
@@metaspencer I was referring to the deer. I see she came back a second time, but didn't seem to help much that time. I am sure Melissa's help was appreciated too.
@@rerolley hahaha! the deer! gotcha
Hey Spencer, my aunt lives in northern NJ and she a huge dead ash next to her house that she wants taken down... Is that too long of a commute for you? Kidding but not kidding aside, why are ash trees all along the northeast dead or dying? Is it a disease or a pest? Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them and always admire your work ethic!
New Jersey! Yeah it's a beetle that's wiped them out: the Emerald Ash borer. It's a pretty little bug but once the trees start to die the ants move in ... lots of decay fast
Hitting the pipe
Is the chain really dull? Or is the ash petrified ?
Probably both! Haha
I was wondering, how do you know if a tree is to dead to climb?
I tend to think if you even have the question the answer is "Yes, it's too dead to climb." No reason to risk it. In this case I climbed them because of the stage of decay and overall shape of the trees, but I definitely wouldn't advise it
How many days did it take you to do all that work 💪👷
4 day job as I recall, which was what I was planning when I placed the bid
I’m in Ohio we call these the tree of death around here they’re extremely unoredictable it might look solid you get up the an the whole top cracks off
yeah, you said it: I avoid climbing 90% of the ones I encounter ... this job was a judgement call and definitely not an approach I'd recommend in all situations. dang sketchy trees
Never fails...top of sketchy tree...dull chain!🤣🤣🤣
You said it!
"Wench duty" Ok Melissa
Having her there made that tree go down PHWOOSH!
😂gotta lock the truck to keep the ground crew out of it
Now there's an idea! :)
Nicely done! Cleanup did not look like fun.
Lots of little, itty bitty pieces
@@metaspencer Yeah, always! Catch you on the next one! 😁😁
I'd tell the homeowner to move his truck. Dead ash trees splatter twigs and branches more than almost anything.
Yeah good point! I'm glad it worked out
#200tlife
Yeah it's a good life. Mine was choking a bit -- cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel filter, and it came back to life
Die back😔
