First Pickup with my new Urban Logging Trailer 

No need for rollers or worry about the tree logs scraping the paint. There was a metal chain trapped under the first log as he unloaded it. He didn't notice it because of his sightline. Would have been simple to remove and save wear on the trailer deck.

George, no issues with paint but a tail roll reduces or eliminated lots of "cam over's" or surging of irregular shapes as they're loaded. This means the load moves much more smoothly and as such can be spotted more easily to balance over the axles- instead of having it surge forward and over wt the tongue. my point is based on the heavy equipment loading tail roll trucks, trailers and equipment haulers, no worries about paint- but a cam over surge can be unhealthy. Tail roll would reduce/eliminate that risk when using a cammed arch method or handling loads.

thank you!

Thanks!

i was thinking the same thing. Always heard that ladders, and tree trimming or falling, don't mix

My one-time cutting a limb from a ladder taught me that lesson.

ladders not tied in doesn't mix. this is dangerous!

honestly pole saw is fine by me not using a helmet however thats a huge nono for me. Thou he got the work done with no injuries so if that is how he wants to work thats fine by me

He did a beautiful job taking the tree down and his system worked great for him. The only point I was making was that don't try that at home if your new to tree work.

Thanks Gil!

Not wanting to be that guy, but I was surprised by the lack of PPE while wielding the chainsaw. Aren't a faceshield and chaps usually considered essential for this type of work?

Leland Holton 😀😀👍👍

Thanks Scott!

What did he do wrong other than no hard hat?

Happs Tree Service TRUE - this jackass is doing no one a favour !!

Thanks!

Thanks again, Matt!

Absolutely a comment that those involved with this video should acknowledge. While the climber is very skilled, he puts himself and other at risk with bad habits.

His stamina is ridiculous

@@mcremona One can only imagine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jason!

thanks Matt!

Was his name Wile E?

A real “grown up”?!?!?!? REALLY?!?!

Brian Kennedy I was about 10 at the time...saw it with my own eyes...my Dad recounted that anecdote for years.

@@robinmyman yeah cartoons were great back then!

or just run pulley system down both sides.

I was thinking the same thing, The larger winch to pick and hold the tree the smaller winch to pull and guide it on. Win win

I was thinking just a cumalong (handpuller) winch would do the trick

Tear cuts dont matter on a removal. What does matter is one handed chainsaw use, no helmet, unsecured equipment aloft, people in the drop zone with no helmet or other protective gear, dropping limbs near power lines with bystanders that have no PPE and are too close, operating a saw while tied in only once, frequently climbing high above his tie in point, no chainsaw leg protection, and a half dozen other OSHA and industry standards violations. This guy is going to kill or maim himself or someone else some day if he keeps working this way.

@@umaikakudo You don't need them for the health of the tree, but doing it can ensure a clean break on a limb being removed. Seems that logically it'll be more likely to "snap" and fall predictably, rather than tear down the bark and whip around where you weren't expecting it to.

@@umaikakudo yeah, a lot of people are complaining about no undercuts. Undercuts have there place, but definitely are no always necessary. When he's on the ladder (which he shouldn't be in the first place!) THEN he definitely should have been undercutting. You don't want that limb coming back at the ladder. But when you're actually climbing, no ladder, then who cares if the limb flies back at the truck. Let her fly

@@umaikakudo top handle saws are made to be used one handed. As long as you’re not in the kickback zone, no big deal.

"I stop and watch." Hold my beer!

The dude running the saw is a hack. No ppe not even chaps. Using a ladder and a rock climbing harness instead of a proper rope access or tree saddle. poor felling technique, you can tell because theres no hinge wood on the stump. A dull saw, you can tell because the saws are throwing dust instead of ribbons. Finally one seriously messed up lawn for the home owner. If you ever need tree work done and a dude shows up like this, get a new tree guy.

Dude has no brains

I thought the same thing loll... everyone else is hating

Thanks!!

Most ex rodeo riders limp and have crook shoulders etc but

One man wrecking crew

i got a small bobcat with tracks for my milling needs and i cant reccomend one enough.

Obviously not in the tree care industry. Safety is important...

same! I knew there would be a lively unpacking. Always great to see the knowledge ones speak up! SOO Sketchy with a pole saw, up on ropes in a TREE? What was puffing?

yes, he had it down in about 6 hours.

that was a lot of tree for one day

If he don’t put a hard hat on and quit working off ladders his tree cutting will be short lived

Your a goat man best vids should do a collab some day

@@teomedina1685 I remember my fist tank through my 660. The chips would sting my legs! Just sold it 2 weeks ago. I’m too old to move big wood around. Still have my290 and my 200t. Is the blue/black color in the trunk metal?

Nice trailer!!! Never seen a skid loader like that ,I like it something sma and nimble

Yup. Takes time.

And 95% comes from thin air!

@Jackie Meintjes words can save a life. This man needs to hear that his methods are incredibly dangerous. He's probably doing it out of ignorance, thinking that it's completely fine. But he needs to learn there are better ways. That knowledge could save his life. Silence won't.

@@ArsonistArborist just cuz he does it differently then you doesn't mean he's doing it wrong.

@@heathploski1819 yes it does, and your along time dead

@@heathploski1819 The climber in this video is beyond unsafe. He's absolutely doing a ton of things wrong. Very wrong.

@@ArsonistArborist I highly doubt he was doing it out of ignorance, it looked effortless, which means he's a real pro.

Yup...more undercuts would've helped. Stick-saw in the upper crown ? Well...that's just odd. Ladder goes away soon as the climber gets off of it. And dude, you really should get your climbing line out of the drop zone; especially when you're felling big logs. One heavy long catches that line wrong while falling...well you don't need that to happen. Totally unorthodox and probably charged his client one third the industry standard. Glad to see he completed the job safely. BTW: That is one awesome trailer built with pure innovation Matt.

One, that’s why he has a ground crew. Two that’s why he has a ground crew. Three that’s why you don’t work for him.

Outstanding ;)

thanks Keith!

And I use 4 inch schedule 80 for rollers. One man job.

Amazing!!!! Ha don't make me laugh!!! That is the work of a beginner. Where is his helmet and his saw trousers. His cuts are terrible and why use a polesaw up a tree to dismantle it. There is no control over the work he is doing. Ground staff have no ppe either.

@@ghettowagen It was probably someone from the church that did a damn good job. The church sure didn't want to pay any money for the tree removal.

Bnnnnnh, bahasa bnnnnnh hg;;! Jhvb

yup some very bad moves went on in this video. I know of at least 4 arborists who died and I'm not even in the business.

This guy’s work practices are so unsafe.

As my father used to say, "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!"

wise father@@whataguy7032

I didn't think the lifting arm / arch was over engineered, I'm surprised it didn't bend.

Cheap insurance

It's a huge industry.

Hahahaha thank you so much!!!
