My friends need some tree work done over their house, and I own a boom lift. Should be easy right? Easier...yes, but still quite challenging. I make a few mistakes, but thankfully no big casualties come of them. Tree work is dangerous, be careful out there folks!

After you cut the wedge out and after you start doing the final cut you need to use wedges, to both manipulate the tree and have some clearance so your saw doesn't get jammed

I spent the entirety of my youth working around trees cutting and chainsaws. Mostly with my family cutting firewood for sale, but in High School I worked for a tree trimming company for 3 years. You done did good work. The only damage I every really saw was almost identical to your broken window. Limb lands just perfect and launches like a spring. That guy was a damn good saw man in the bucket and out of it. It happens to everyone sometimes. Still did a lot of good work for your friend with no real issues that weren't easily fixed.

I cut trees from a lift as well, though not for a career. Couple possibilities: 1. Have someone with you in the basket. They can hold branches and keep them from whacking you or dropping where you don't want them. No putting the saw down after every cut either. It's a game changer. 2. Cut the lower limbs off first and work up the tree. Limbs then fall right around the base of the tree without hitting and bouncing off stuff. Can't do that if the tree is so rotten that stuff would fall off from above. Love watching you work!

@jspahnie 10 месяцев назад

I would recommend a self retracting lanyard for boom lift work ( they are now the industry standard) because not only will they soften your fall like your fixed lanyard, but they act like a seat belt and may prevent you from being ejected from the basket in the first place (once you are ejected and take a 6 ft fall it is difficult to self rescue). I Iove the channel and all of your content (even if it makes me jealous haha).

@artk6177 10 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same thing. Self retracting lanyards are not that expensive and easy to work in.

@Mike44460 9 месяцев назад

The requirement where I was employed was 100% tie off if you're in it for any reason. Good call on the retracter. Check out the videos of people getting thrown out of lifts unloading them. I don't want to bring you bad luck, but you need to unload the lift as in sell it.

@mackfisher4487 10 месяцев назад

19:53 Your camera shot of the topping was great. At 35:01 I see the Why this video turned out so well, it was the head camera person expertise. Your Dam project and this tree work were great content and I hope a nice supplement to a farmers income.

@Plumsytheghillieone 10 месяцев назад

Arborist here, the main problem is that you are not lining up your back-cut with the hinge. Hard to see accurately on video obviously, but it looks like your back-cut was quite severly above your hinge when the saw got grabbed, which is a big no-no. Sometimes it's appropriate to back cut slightly (about half an inch) below the hinge, but never cut above it. Regarding the window trick-shot. Even limbs that are too short to reach something fragile from their landing spot can, given enough drop velocity, flex like a bow when landing on their tip and absolutely launch themselves like a vaulting pole. Always be extra careful when dropping, and preferably use a cut technique that drops the wood flat, rather than droop-n-drop. Love your content, and sorry for my lack of skill in the English language :)

Most of the time they aren’t any thing too major but just the embarrassment, inconvenience and time wasted. We have all been there. Good thing you’re handy and could change out just the single window pane. I might have been buying them a new window 😢.

@HylanderSB 10 месяцев назад

He was lucky it was an old window. A double pane would have been a bigger deal because there'd be only one big piece of glass (actually two or more) for the whole sash instead of several small ones like that one had. The whole sash would need to be replaced.

Chainsaw is german quality ;) In germany, such kind of treework is only allowed by special trained people. And only with a lot of body protection like helmet, protection for body and legs, etc..

@threeriversforge1997 6 месяцев назад

Got to work out of a bucket lift back in December and it was a real hoot. You're right that it's work! I was tired as the day is long by the time I was done, and I'd just been standing in the bucket! The upside is that I got all the limbs down and didn't damage the roof. Unlike you, I thought I could do it without roping anything off, and I was wrong. Had a few pieces hit the roof, but there wasn't any damage, which I'm glad for. I've been watching a ton of arborist videos to learn more about roping, and it's been really fun to think about what I'll do next year when it's time to go back up and finish things. I had to rent a lift for $500, which isn't bad, but time was short and my learning curve was long. As such, I didn't get all the work done. Still, it's something to look forward too, especially if I can find someone that rents a self-driving lift like you've got!

@andyloebrown8250 10 месяцев назад

I have that same saw but its called 046 Magnum. It's heavy and is mainly used for blocking up big firewood. Cannot imagine reaching out of a basket and notching the back side of a tree with it! Every time I pick it up, it seems heavier.

@The13inc 10 месяцев назад

You're going to want to use both the new fall arrest lanyard and a fall restraint. The fall arrest for when you're up in the air (20+ feet or so, you'd have to do your own calculations based on your height and lanyard length) and the restraint for when you're driving in the stowed position or just working under the height at which the arrester would fail to prevent you hitting the ground.

@Rorschach1024 10 месяцев назад

Yes, they make inertial reels that when they start extending quickly, flyweights engage a brake to slow your descent. They were mandatory use when I worked for an oilfield service company. We tested them (and the pipe hanger they attached to) by throwing a 55 gallon drum of water out of the work basket. We had one guy who at worked there for years and was a supervisor and SHOULD have known better not only not connect his harness to the fall arrest device, forgot to close the trap door where the ladder enters the work basket. He stepped backwards out into the hole and fell 40' to his death.

@davidhimeback9087 10 месяцев назад

@stevemoczydlowski8895 10 месяцев назад

That happened to me , we were up 80', the tree was about 90' high. Ii took my brand new De Walt electric pole saw and was cutting overhead. As the branch began to fall it pinched the blade and ripped it right out of my hands and fell 80'. We watched it hit the ground, the pole bounced one way and the battery the other way. It bent the blade a little but it still worked. I am still amazed that it didn't bend the pole or shatter the saw housing or the battery.

@johnmerryman1825 10 месяцев назад

What a coincidence, I was just doing a similar job on my farm this past weekend taking down a big dead ash tree with my 50' Genie towable lift.

These safety items are a plus. I worked with power company florida power and light. We would not work by our self or without safety lanyards for ourselves or equipment. If tree parts falls on your lift or gets tangled in any part of you it will pull and when it reaches it limits. You will be slingshot out of that lift and hopefully be hanging by your safety gear. And at that time you better hope someone is there to let you down and at top of list knows how to work the lift. Safety-safety-safety.😮😊 because it will happen, like your friend said tis not whether it will happen, it's how many times will it happen. I worked 41-1/2 yrs till I retired. It's always a good thing to be able to say what a good day it was!!!!!

@IndependenceIron 10 месяцев назад

I did the opposite of dropping a saw. I had one bound in a tree and talking with ground crew i forgot i hadn't unhooked the lanyard from the boom and boomed down quickly to grab a wedge. Stihl MS250 bent the bar badly i couldn't even unbend it in a vice. Surprised it didn't break the handle or the plastic case on the cheaper MS250. Stihl saws have impressed me a few times. Yours is definitely one of those times!! 60ft and survive Wow. And when cutting close to buildings even with no leafy branches always have to be watching for the PoGo stick effect. Landing on its end and bouncing where you don't want it!! I swear some chunks defy lottery odds to end up where you don't want them to go!!

When I worked on the farm, the farmer's son ran a tree cutting business(we used the chips in the manure spreader and for stall bedding), and one of his big things was he had lanyards for all of his tools, even hand tools, he used on the boom and for his climbers. Just a run of paracord or nylon with 'biners to attach it to the tool and the bucket. For chainsaws he attached it to the brake lever.

@dustcommander100 10 месяцев назад

I can truly say that this video brought back some very fearful memories for me! I've been in lifts and suspended by a crane, and I've been on ladders. And I've used chainsaws extensively, sometimes in a tree from a ladder. I believe what you did is beyond anything I ever did, because of combining activities! I can offer no criticism, because you did what had to be done, and you were successful. Most recently, I removed about 10 or 12 pine trees averaging 75 feet or so in height, but I had the luxury of doing it all from the ground, since I was clearing an area for a workshop. I used a crossbow and fishing line to pull successively larger ropes over limbs at 50 feet, and dug around them before pulling them over. And one or two didn't go exactly where I wanted them, but the damage was minimal. I normally cut hardwoods for firewood, and I was really surprised how quickly the large pines dulled my chains. Most of what I cut was 18 feet in length - if I had to cut all that into 16" lengths, I would have to find a better method if there is one!

Every time I see you up in the basket reminds me of the frist time I operated boom lifts . It was a little bit scary . Given no training what so ever . My foreman asked if I knew how to run one . My answer was how hard could it be ? The first time was a puckering experience to say the least . After a couple of long days it was more fun than being on the ground running a ninety pound jackhammer horizontally . Got really good at maneuvering the basket around to make the job easier . We were doing a major paper mill remodeling project so many of the lifts were 120 feet . Must have spent a total of three and half to four months on those machines . Was just as much fun as riding my motorcycle , which also needs a lot of respect and responsibility each time you mount up . Just remember to take in the views each time you go up .

I cut a lot of hard woods so I put it through it's paces. But that 460 is a beast. I can see why it's twice the price of mine. I've owned 3 Stihl chainsaws, getting larger with each purchase. I've got 15-20 years out of each saw. But the residential models are not worth rebuilding, so they're basically throwaways. That 460 is a different story. I'm 62 years old now so I might want to go that big by the time my 391 craps out, but now I'll know the difference.

I did not go up into the trees, I stayed on the ground and sent things up on ropes and I controlled the descent speed of the big tree limbs by wrapping the ropes around the tree trunk and then slowly slacking the rope. We had no lift anything, the owner of the business used tree climbing spikes to get up into the trees. That's why he hired me and sometimes another guy to send things up and bring them back down. Once he was up there he didn't want to come back down and go back up. He never scared me and we never wrecked anything. I really disliked feeding the chipper because it would slap me with the branches and sometimes they'd grab my shirt so hard it ripped it. It was a very powerful chipper with a car 6cylinder engine powering it. Eventually I learned to feed it as I walked past the entrance to the feed chute. You jogged my memory and made me remember to have any kind of altitude work done by a licensed and insured professional. Nice video, thank you. ben/ michigan

I have never seen a saw catch on a log like that. Glad to see that you and the saw are okay!

We are really lucky that you own so many crappy maschines to make entertaining videos of the repairs!

I had my heart in my mouth watching this. It's tense enough to observe I don't envy you up that lift with branching jumping around over someone's house.

I suggest a lean-to shed large enough for all your equipment to allow you to store equipment out of direct weather your equip. will thank you and your subscribers will get to enjoy the build videos. Nice job and the extra safety equip is always a good idea especially for all espacially solo operators. I often wonder why original equipment manufacturers in this case JLG do not sell parts that they have original tooling for, at or below prices for what secondary parts companys' who have to copy the originals and keep the repair parts market to themselves. I also use Stilh and think it's inexcusible that Stihl does not offer a rebuild kit for their carbs or at least where to buy advice fir their customers. Ray Stormont

I like to make my own anti-seize compound by mixing dry graphite powder with a 30 w or 20 w non-detergent motor oil. If I need a high temperature anti-seize compound, I use water instead of the oil. Sure makes things easier to come apart when you want them to. Kind of dirty though but not too bad as long as one uses just enough to coat the parts one needs. Great video John thumbs up.
