a perfect Friday curtsy of Mr Hunicke , a bit of crain work with some super skilful picks a little bit of flying and a super classic ranchero , have a great weekend everyone
As a weekend warrior I cut one tree by ladder and never again. Thanks to your channel I purchased my own climbing gear now I climb and cut but still like a homeowner. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge!
I got some electric saws at my job, and they don't cut quite as hard as a gas saw of the sone weight, but for some reason it brings me so much joy yo use.
You have a Old, inside bald Pine to cut. The is Gigantig and Your Workt with the Crane! But what I not understand, the Trees have not Resin more!!! How I Work with Abies Pine and Picea, the Finger to sticky to gether. Good Work from You and the Team.
A 'home owner' that owns a crane. My electric saw has a long cord. lol Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - prayers for everyone.
August- You mention your back often. As a tree guy for 30 years, I felt your pain (specifically chronic L-5). Try Tart Cherry juice. It's a major anti- inflammatory. I mix mine with soda water. It was a game changer for me. The L-5 pops right back in when muscles aren't spasming. Now I'm hopping around in trees like I did 20 years ago
I realize that I’m looking through the UA-cam keyhole and I can’t see all the dynamics of your particular situation. With that in mind, I have found on those horizontal limbs, if I attach them well out beyond the balance point, then tighten the cable slightly, I ca then cut a nice wide notch on the top of the limb and as I under cut it, I have the crane operator tighten the cable and stand the limb straight up. It takes a lot of the uncertainty about what the butt is going to do out of the equation. It doesn’t work with really brittle species but it works really good with the stronger woods. I’m sure you’ve done this before as well but thought I would put it out there. I enjoy your videos. Stay safe and keep up the good work!
That’s good work! Just harder work without the spurs mate….. good to see you ticking along with the pilots licence still. I started this when I was 16 and then by 22 no more money for it’s as kids and family were more important. But one day I will do it again. Hopefully in the next 10 years. Nice yo see you teaching and letting others have a go as well. Cheers
I felt like a homeowner the other day cutting down a tree that fell onto a upper patio and was leaning 45 degrees over the fence … climbing up the branches with my electric saw😀 We had a tornado here in Colorado last week straight line through the burbs( Highlands Ranch) theres tree damage everywhere. Its been full throttle for every tree service all week and probably for one more to go. Im exhausted!
August, good to see you are back flying. I was at same point as you 30 years ago...Soloing but ready for cross countries but out of money. Wish I would have stolen the money to finish. Would have opened up lots of things. Course, you get busy with life and its hard to get back to it when baby needs shoes, etc. Just my perspective but do whatever you need just to finish. The money for rec flying later will come to you, it will be cheaper then.
While you were working on this job I thought about a trick that I played on my son when he was probably 55 years old. He was away at his beach home and it was known that there would be a storm this area which is five hours away. I took a very large leaf from a deciduous tree with a small piece of a branch. Initially sent him a text message that said part of the neighbors tree fell on one of your cars. You can imagine the reaction. However I sent him a picture of this really large leaf and a small piece of the branch that I laid on the hood of the car. Other friends have used this on their wives with negative appreciation lol.
Great video, is their a gauge on the lift that you can see how much pull you have before you make the cut. My dad had a Cesena plane when i was young. Great memories
Perhaps another benefit of Makita using two standard 18V batteries vs Milwaukee's one? My Makita 36V saw cuts pretty good but you have to activate a turbo mode to get full power.
I love my Milwaukee tools and all but what I find on the high amp draw tools like the Lawnmower, weedwacker, and tablesaw, particularly the lawnmower. They are VERY hard on the batteries. I would say I've lost 20-30% capacity on the pair of 12A packs that came with the lawnmower in the last year of weekly use. I hope for your sake the chainsaw isn't like that. I'll be curious to know your opinion on the saw in 3-4 months of professional daily use.
The only homeowner that would climb a tree like that would be a stupid one. Most homeowners are smart enough to know that you can't do it hire somebody. Otherwise great job😊
wish I could be that home owner weekend warrior tree guy with $1 mil worth of eqpt on the ground! Crane, ax-19, chip truck and skid steer...dang...if I'm in the tree...whose gonna get to operate any of it? Always a catch😁
As a home owner, I would have taken even smaller sections. Where did you get the Monkey from to do that climbing stuff without spurs? Oh it's Monkey Beaver!.
If you were really a homeowner you'd have a ladder in there somewhere, and maybe some 2x4's strung up with drywall screws. I climbed a cottonwood where a homeowner had done that up 20 feet, was going to cut it down himself, but then thought better of it. There were so many dry wall screws it took me an extra 30 minutes to break them all off as I climbed up. I didn't want to gaff out and gut myself on them. 😐
You said "Nursery!" I have a question actually how much more is it for a Crain vs, just a Freelance Climber/Grounds Man? Did house Seree help you with the tree, or did it cause separation among you and the (AO) and (HN)? AO is Area of Operation and HN is Host Nation.
Hey August, that second pick did look a bit more dynamic than expected. Were you wanting it to rotate like that? Most of the time it seems you and the crew set up the picks to be very smooth. Anyways great content, nice having Adam make a couple of the cuts! Have you used the Milwaukee on a tree that isn't a crane job? I'm wondering how it holds up to limbing out a whole tree etc.
Hey August, God's Blessings to you and yours! What I want to know is what kind of monkey fur that is on your shoulder straps. It looks a lot like beaver but I know it must be monkey..... Have a Great and Safe weekend Brother. 😛 😁
I have the milwaukee cordless drills and sawzalls (no chainsaw yet) but yeah, that is not ideal when the battery just digitally decides to quit mid cut or mid drill hole
You ain’t no chickin… that kind of talk will get you killed. That tree is wonky. Ya got the crane. Extra 20 mins to parse it out is worth potential oopsie? Nah dude. And if there IS an accident your ins premium goes up too, right? I’m an accountant and finance guy, by career, and I sometimes calculate stuff like this. There are so many things you don’t factor in… At least financially. Not to mention the “human cost.” All the grief and the second guessing…. Follow your gut, but be safe my man!!! Fast and sexy wins you nothing in this game.
I have been watching your videos the majority of my career as a monkeybeaver. My question for you is... is there a reason why your cutting at waist level on a crane pick? I was always taught and burned into my head to make the cuts at head height or slightly above head height in order to make sure the piece doesnt accidentally take your head off. Situational awareness is key to do what we do. I know you trust your rigging and your operator, but i still get nervous watching you cut a pick at waist height... slay on
I have you know, I represent that "homeowner" remark. 😁 Not really. Nice work. Like the flying lesson at the end along with the footage of the sweet looking Ranchero.
Still get a chuckle when I see the Beaver pelt harness, must be a conversation piece with the customers😁
Well done. In NZ we call them old man pine /Scotch pine.
You can get a 9 inch hinge wood on some of those, they just snap on the stump
Dang! That red and white Ranchero!!❤❤❤
Yep time flies alright...I was only 7 yrs. old when that Ranchero came off of the assembly line !
It never fails to amaze me that your chipper can take the whole tree and reduce it to clippings…👍
At 12:05 or so the impressive rigging skill is displayed! The way that the branch is balanced as the crane takes the load is incredible!
a perfect Friday curtsy of Mr Hunicke , a bit of crain work with some super skilful picks a little bit of flying and a super classic ranchero , have a great weekend everyone
Your beaver harness is really eye catching 🤩

The beaver pelt on your harness is cool. From certain angles it looks like you have cultivated an incredibly luxurious mullet.
I want that Beautiful truck - very nice ride 😀👍👍
👍
Another cool video 🌲❤️
Adam did great
Have a wonderful weekend
Be safe
Be Kind
Howdy August, nice to see Hezekiah and you back in the air. The sound emitted by the battery saws always makes my teeth hurt.... Have A Day! ;~)
Wish you never said that. Teeth are killing me now😂 August is the man ❤
You have a Old, inside bald Pine to cut. The is Gigantig and Your Workt with the Crane! But what I not understand, the Trees have not Resin more!!! How I Work with Abies Pine and Picea, the Finger to sticky to gether. Good Work from You and the Team.
The things I could grab with that Vermeer grabber-thing!
MonkeyBeaver crew still making the hard work look easy.
Good stuff.....keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲

Nice job! That Ranchero was looking really sharp in the sun! 🤠😎
A 'home owner' that owns a crane. My electric saw has a long cord. lol Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Take care - prayers for everyone.
Great how calm you all are doing crane jobs
Even the crane sounds so calm. Best wishe from Bill in little ol England.
I see you're wearing your Where's August? shirt. Ha! That thing is so bright I gotta wear shades. Enjoyed the video.

Nice work team! Love the truck and nice job on take off!
Great job you home owner you. No ladder required.
Loved the ranchero.
Stay safe

Hold on, August, I'll get you a ladder.
We also need to swap the ropes and forget about a top handle 😅
@@brianc3481I’ll bet that a 200T was thought about a time or three 😅

Excellent video!❤❤❤
I have felled hundreds in the woods - soft wood to cut and holds well on a hinge.

Awesome! Looks like a Scotch Pine maybe

Awesome Ranchero 👍🏻

The second pick= Maestro was there! How many years of experience does that take? Almost looking like you might have done one or sixteen……thousand 😂
Love the Ranchero!
Man, you're amazing getting some airtime.
Great vid August a bit of other things at the end...Cheers.
August 🤠👍🤙🤙💯💯🥳🥳😊Nice 😊🤩
Fine work!
awesome job Adam

I never stick with one Saw for very long.
Did you use the rapid charger mostly?
@@jamesturner3151 The dual charger that came with the Lawnmower. And I let the batteries cool completely before throwing them on the charger.
The only homeowner that would climb a tree like that would be a stupid one. Most homeowners are smart enough to know that you can't do it hire somebody. Otherwise great job😊
That was a good job. But that ranchero was dessert. I remember when they were brand new.
4:34 - Tell me about the beaver pelts
What size was the first battery?
9.0 I think…
9 amp runs on old technology. Stick with the high output batteries and you’ll be find.
Hey August, any idea what pattern the Mikwaukee uses for a bar? (Echo Stihl etc?)
What size batteries are you using in the milwaukee
wish I could be that home owner weekend warrior tree guy with $1 mil worth of eqpt on the ground! Crane, ax-19, chip truck and skid steer...dang...if I'm in the tree...whose gonna get to operate any of it? Always a catch😁
The battery has sensors An cuts power when the less amount of cells overheat
As a home owner, I would have taken even smaller sections. Where did you get the Monkey from to do that climbing stuff without spurs? Oh it's Monkey Beaver!.
Yer thought that last one would get pinchey. But the shelf cut. Buety

The second huge part of the tree you removed with the crane … Almost hit you !!!!?????

In order to complete the “homeowner” ensemble, one would need to cut the branch they’re standing on 😂

I never wanna use a battery powered saw ever I know it's not just me
Next you’ll tell us you started the day with an electric razor… I do actually own a home though. 👋😅
That’s my 5 o clock shadow
Battery powered is bullshit…. Is the Tesla going to pull the power stoke?
