Lots of experts.. don't see any links to their videos cutting huge damaged oaks ! Maybe they could show us how it's done . That'll make some fine firewood , maybe a few cabinets !
Ya the fact that everything in this video was done 100% wrong by chain saw experts,and heavy equipment experts, and buddy accidentally dropped a 100 ton Oak okay so we should not point out the very obvious professional mistakes????
You're stupid come to Bethel Me. Our crew at Chaborne Lumber will surely give a lesson or two. We will demonstrate how to drop a tree without taking out perfectly healthy specimens. All safety equipment will be required
Video probably could've used a time lapse in the middle 😂 Seriously though, it shows how cutting big hardwoods isn't just a different league to big softwoods, it's a different sport. I watched a big (similar diameter) Gray Box Eucalyptus dropped here in Australia (sorry, no video!), for the same reason (lightning strike), and the main cut took at least that long. Bigger toys in play, mind you (10t excavator on the push and the farmer had a one of his tractors on the pull), but at this point, that's just safety margin. Nice drop!
Man you musta been reading my mind!! I'm like are these dudes serious!? What was that micro mini excavator suppose to do, direct the direction of the tree, help push it, I'm at a lost here. Help me y'all.
@@CEDARMULCH642ya that tree is definitely more than 20 tons you could not even get that whole tree on a logging truck that tree is a ton every 8ft try putting a 8ft chunk on a 1 ton pick up with dualles
Hey Ole bud, I just watched this video and realize that fella wasn't holding his tounge right. Also, it looked to be pointed mid south west on the eastern side. I am 34 years old and been doing this for 96 years so I know 😂. Good Job on the tree, it was honestly a great drop.
Wrong, I have two massive water oaks that are only 60 years old ,they are coming down ,one massive section fell last week and the damaged tree is now a danger to house and our safety! Rate of growth depends on location, they grow faster here in the southeastern USA 🇺🇸!
I was sweatin' bullets, just watchin' this! One BIG oak tree. Took down a similary sized maple tree, at my girlfriends first house 20 years ago. No room for a pusher though, as it stood about 6 feet from the house. Had my neighbor, with his loaded down Ford diesel dually, in a neighbors driveway, across the street, as a puller. Once the final cut started crackin', I was hollerin' "pull" to my good neighbor Charlie, and it came down across the street! Then a bunch more sawdust to clear the street!! Great cuttin' man!!
Skill level of company is huge. Most people have to have larger equipment or just simply price gouge. Make sure whoever you get is insured fully as well as has Atleast 10 year’s experience in like situations. My family has done this for generations.
Why in the hell didn’t you have your track’s flipped around with the blade down it gives you hell of a lot more pushing power with such a small trackhoe 🤷🏼♂️
@@alphaappalachian6270 that’s what they all say until shit goes sideways lol 😂 I’ve been in every single position in this video and seen some really bad stuff!!!
With the machine sideways you lose a lot of control in the fall. Push strength is less sideways as well as leverage. But yeah you can side step if it goes bad.
@alphaappalachian6270 what about fairly small and slightly forward leaning birch 18-20" thick and probably 50feet tall? My mom is sure it's been hit by lightning as having see able crack, is it multiple 1" strap enough to avoid barber chair? or need of chain? or should I approach with bore cut even it's strapped or chained. I'm just rookie as recently helped my mom with six 40-44yo pines close to house and project was 100% successful. She's having birches to fell at relatively open area as holiday house have large plot.
In Germany, it is not allowed to fall trees in your own gardens that have a trunk diameter of 80cm or more for nature conservation reasons. Only if the tree is at risk of falling and/or is sick. Then you need to go through a lot's of administration...
Granted some folks need to just chill out....that dude with the saw, has zero ppe....zero. I am a 4th generation logger, and had seen what a saw kick back can do to a grown man, by the time I was 10. You guys think...."oh im good, never let that happen", it will happen in the blink of an eye and you wont even be able to react in time. Keep yourself safe! Anybody that claims to be a business and doesnt use basic ppe, should be fined imo.
Ppe won’t help with jobs once weight of a single branch will drive you into the ground. Granted most jobs a hard hat and such are super beneficial. Just not this particular job. Yeah I hear ya on generational logging to. The old black and white photos from our area will have my kinfolk in them. Lol a lot more than 4 tho. Here in the mountains that is an old trade that all local families not just mine have been a part of. Kinda why it’s a joke having people try to say anything really. Wether somebody with a pile of equipment with a little woman complex or a single tree hugger that I would never let run a saw anywhere near me anyhow. This is cake. Easy peasy. If you let something go wrong it will. If you take the time to do it right you don’t need much.
Looks dead. Dead trees are dangerous. Limbs fall, storms could blow it over. Be a shame if the tree fell over on the house... with people in it. Always take out dying & dead trees before they take you out.
Y’all do realize every time you underbrush a lot you’re cutting 1000s of young trees right … all the same thanks very much for all comments. Like and subscribe and check out our channel 😉
Only issue was if the tree split. The push and the pull and the cut all had one simple goal to work together with equal help and not splitting the 5 feet thick hardwood oak
These are the guys I need to hire. Two Guys and a Chain Saw with a Bobcat. $500 plus all the beer you can drink. Although the beer bill may bankrupt you
@@alphaappalachian6270Good for you on both accounts. The beer and God! Jesus has found everyone. You were just smart enough to realize he had found you. Many aren't. God bless!!
Now I saw the set up and thought, ok that’s not going to go well. I even thought I heard the saw getting pinched at first. In the end I think he’d gotten it alone. Give that skid driver a shot of shine. He might need it. Imagine it really wouldn’t stop much.
Oh yeah sure he didn’t even notice. You dork the more you can cut the less wood is split from the fall Incase you want to make anything from the logs. Glad we have soo many people to weigh in on what we did wrong… man how did we get that one down??? Pwaaahaaahaaa. Heckler gonna heckle… trolls gonna troll… y’all just need to go cut down your own trees instead of criticizing everyone on UA-cam to make you feel better about being … not as good as most
@@alphaappalachian6270 man just stop answering; when the tree is falling, you don't just stand there and keep on cutting lol; cutting trees 101. Stop with the bs. You guys posted the video for everyone to see how terrible you are 🤣
This is the second video that has came up in my feed. Can you get a helmet please?? I don't want to see arborist struck by falling limb videos. The protos are really nice but expensive. Stay safe!
Professionals would have topped the tree working down so destruction of other smaller trees would not be harmed or damaged. If that was not a issue then good job it's on the ground
There's a lot of good logs in that tree and firewood too! You scared me a bit, I have seen trees split. You needed a bigger machine to push on it. Be careful boys, don't get hurt.❤❤❤
Yeah we had two straps and a chain around trunk for precautions. Hoe pushing. Truck pulling. Been doing this for generations. Oldest family in our part of appalachians doing grading and clearing
Lol 😂 look nobody here cares about the pine saplings. The customer wants it done however they want it done and we do it. Sorry we don’t have a blooper reel. There was another person that commented saying how much they had and how good they thought they were. I’d imagine they have some pics of alot more than a couple little pines hit 😉
They're just lucky it didn't fall on the backhoe and crush the roll cage and kill the driver. It was a foolish risk. There's too many things to list they did poorly.
So many things wrong hear that little excavator hole trying to hold it now that she could topple read over it go the opposite way on top of the house whatever
Lol nah it’s super easy. Honestly getting on top of the trackhoe bucket to chain and strap the trunk to avoid splitting was the sketchiest thing about that takedown

Dude this is the mountains. Lol 😂 sad to have to drop this huge oak no doubt but these young trees are plentiful. Septic was in back yard and front yard was requested not to tear up. It’s a job we do well. I do hate seeing big white oaks having to be dropped tho.
Lol 😂 you have no idea what you’re talking about do ya hahaha. That (toy) excavator is over kill especially when pulling with a truck hooked to tackle hahaha. The tree would have dropped wherever we wanted. Everything was precautionary

Thanks 👍

More luck than skills 😊
Luck is it,not skill.
Just curious. Why drop it on other young trees when you have a large enough open area to bring it down on?
Septic behind and customer didn’t want it messing grass in front. Dropped where asked to drop. Lol customer is always right
Yeah...but it still could have been aimed where it would avoid damage to the other trees and the septic.
Because they don't know what "directional felling" and a "pivot" is!

U got lucky my friend, a tiny notch,a real tiny excavator ( 150 ton tree and a 4 ton excavator?)plus a paperweight pick up ,pretty risky bro
Lol 😂 nah buddy. We been doing this for generations. It was overkill for us. Yes for most no matter what they did it would be risky tho no doubt.
And that tree total weight is no way over 20 tons
I’ve seen logging trucks with more than that tree on them that stayed under 20
Man you musta been reading my mind!! I'm like are these dudes serious!? What was that micro mini excavator suppose to do, direct the direction of the tree, help push it, I'm at a lost here. Help me y'all.

Lol thanks for the grin and the support
Not a bad fell. Would have liked to see the whole set up from the beginning.
Lol 😂 yeah but I was on trackhoe bucket putting chains and
Straps around tree trunk so couldn’t video haha
Plenty of saw to make a much larger front cut. But you got it done without getting hurt. Good job
We had it throwballed and pulled with truck to front and trackhoe in back. Splitting was the real concern. Lightning had hit the tree
Looked about right , 1/3 of diameter is all it should be , with this one better safe than sorry !
@@alphaappalachian6270i'd really rather see a couple strong tie straps on the tree to prevent that, don't want you getting hurt . Nice drop
Man tough crowd over here. Gotta love a Monday morning quarter back. Oh wait... nothing went wrong!

You nailed it
Job done
Lol 😂 I sure appreciate that
I see lots of taller trees in the background, are they yours?
Belong to customer. Lightning had hit that tree. We we’re just taking it down safely to save house.
This was cool. This kind of jobs are no easy task. Well done! 👍
Thanks 👍
Sad, that in no time at all...it comes down...but takes hundreds of years to grow that tall..
Yeah you’re right

Im guessing the chain was holding a split , guys I work with use straps but I've seen the ratchet blown apart so stick with the chains
Yeah we do both
Ratchet straps are garbage! Do not use them!
If I may ask, what's the price to fell a tree this size?
I have one and prices are just nuts here.
About 1000 for takedown. Then cleanup is a separate cost
Skill level of company is huge. Most people have to have larger equipment or just simply price gouge. Make sure whoever you get is insured fully as well as has Atleast 10 year’s experience in like situations. My family has done this for generations.

I always turn the machine sideways so if something goes wrong you can get out of the way
With the machine sideways you lose a lot of control in the fall. Push strength is less sideways as well as leverage. But yeah you can side step if it goes bad.
How much do you charge to remove a tree like
That in your area?
Most people are over expensive and under skilled tho so prices definitely vary
@@alphaappalachian6270could 100% tell that from your video 😅
Curious. What were chains on trunk for?
With the vertical Crack I would say to prevent possibilities of a barber chair would be one of the reasons.
To prevent barber chair
It had been hit by lightning. Split a little was reason for takedown. Chains and straps to keep trunk from splitting before we had it cut all the way

what sort of age would a tree of that size be?

Dude this is the mountains. Lol 😂 sad to have to drop this huge oak no doubt but these young trees are plentiful. Septic was in back yard and front yard was requested not to tear up. It’s a job we do well. I do hate seeing big white oaks having to be dropped tho.
And that's wrong in many ways
👍
Got to be there first job huh?

First off the toy excavator there using is a joke second its going on the truck cause the excavator will have no control where it goes
Lol 😂 you have no idea what you’re talking about do ya hahaha. That (toy) excavator is over kill especially when pulling with a truck hooked to tackle hahaha. The tree would have dropped wherever we wanted. Everything was precautionary
