That crane operation is more like a ballet with you Reon. What a delicate operation. Tip of the hat to August for his contribution. You keep nicking birdhouses and I'm going to have to send you a tube of caulking. Incredible job guys. Beautiful production.
I’ve been climbing in the MonkeyBeaver saddle for a few months now. The only time that I’m not in pain is when I’m up a tree. It’s the best decision I’ve made for my back. They are working on an advanced setup for a future saddle so give them a call before you order one online. Thank you for another great one.
You are our heroes. Thank you for making it so we can sleep at night and not worry about the next windstorm. Hearing Spencer saying that crack was flexing even after some of the load was off made my stomach lurch. The bird house was coming down anyway. Birds never used it, and that fence that got shoved by the tree is going to get re-done.
When you are intentional and deliberate, precision follows… class act boys! Thanks for another awesome production Reon! Look forward to the next job you find worthy for us. I’m up for watching normal tree removals by you guys haha
I love the effort that is put into the cinematography and music as well as ALWAYS fascinating work. I can't imagine many companies in your area can compete with that, it seems with your equipment you are more specialized and they likely refer you for some jobs.
Happy day after Easter 🐣! Another great video Reon ! Excellent audio & camera work. Yur climer Spencer did great job too. Also comparison of saddle/harness MB & other was interesting...'Ole August Hunakie will be proud to see & hear these comments! Now Reon, you gotta take time & video that super crane you use, Palfinger...it's different...kinda articulated... than AH's telescopic boom. So show us that fancy, foldable, twistable, weight measurable, grapple-grabable, heavy-liftable crane-majic-able machine of yours! Thx for showing all us YT viewers your work! Very impressive!👍👍👍⚙🚜🌲🙂
Pro tip for Treemotion users: switch the leg loops from left to right so the buckles are inside. This allows you to step through the bridge and clip the leg loops on.
Excellent video Reon !!!! Spencer seems great and did good job !! Thing's were tight with that darn wire right through the middle, great job !! Love watchin that Tree-Mek work with her reach an capacity, that would've been a nightmare without it over all those yards. Can't wait to retire my antique for a new MB saddle. Thank you for the show 😉
I think Joe Boyd deserves a shout out for the Monkey Beaver saddle , certainly a collaboration with August and the team but Joe does a lot of the R&D and has a great attention to detail .
Love your videos and would love to support you and your crew reon!!! Are u going to do merch? T-shirts, sweatshirts and stuff like that just wanted to know, have a great day!
Any chance you could put a camera on one of the guys that works the chipper in other words the ground crew thanks love the videos but hate the time-lapse
Interesting mixture of properties in that area - tend to think that everything in America is like Dallas (oops showing my age but then again, it did have Joan Collins!) love the grapple on your knuckle boom - I've rented a Fassi 42 Mtr just for uplifting materials - ours was limited to 1.5tonnes (metric) at full swing. Can your outriggers extend further or is what we saw as far as they go?
Ok question I've never climbed with suspenders or know anyone who has. Does it take the load off anywhere else or is it just for helping hold the saddle up
Reon, what makes you use a climber in this case? As opposed to just using the grapple with the entire tree, without a climber. Is it because you can do bigger picks with the slings?
I know the crane you have the equipment you have is amazing but I wish sometimes you didn't have it so I could watch you climb and learn from you but I know it saves a lot of time and work congratulations on everything you have that's amazing buddy God bless stay safe
He told my boss “those knuckle booms are ok if you’re a shitty climber”! Then not too long after here’s Reon drinking the knuckle boom koolaide “welcome to the shitty climbers club!” Lol! I’m mostly familiar working with stick cranes, not super huge ones either around 35 ton 105ft stick type action but now I get to work with one of these knuckle booms almost every day and I really am loving it! It’s a little bit of a slower process getting used to the differences between the 2 cranes but I like the extra versatility the knuckle boom offers!
He mentioned better back support on the monkey beaver, you pointed out the "floppiness" of the tree motion. you also said your guy has barley used his monkey beaver saddle. I feel like that's "broken in" vs a "new" feature.
Have u ever seen Taylor tree care in Tulsa? It is just a small paw and son operation with 1 helper and his job is to do all the climbing if the bucket truck can’t reach it but he runs the bucket truck. The son is the brush/chipper guy and paw runs the 160 foot knuckle boom/ground dog. Can u tell us what in the ballpark u pay a climber
that must be a older model monkey beaver than the newest one, i just got a new monkey beaver harness middle of march and my d rings are two to three times the size as the one in the review. still they are not the size as the treemotion but good luck finding a place that sells just the treemotion dz, and if you do let me know. i placed my order for the monkey beaver harness feb 2nd and it arrived march 16th. 8 weeks per website
Near impossible for the other tree video guys to compete with your equipment especially since Jacob went free lance. Such a clean job and performance. If anyone had one question it would be is this tree safe to remove without maybe first tying the stems together and box them in until weight is taken off to prevent break out. Split crotches were pretty severe for climber to attach to without it.
I almost bought the he monkey beaver but I ended up with h the treemotion lite version I did slap some #monkkeybeaver suspenders on it tho and it’s so nice n comfortable when ya have a big saw hanging off ya!!
I have treemotion light for everyone on our crew, but I'm going all-in on the Monkeybeaver for spar work...my back is still sore from our last takedown.
What are your thoughts on green "safety" chains vs regular yellow links? I see you running yellow, and my local saw guy claims that green is faster. Just thought I'd ask the pro tree guy. Love the video dude, keep up the good work 💪.
Don’t foresee green being faster when it has double the rakers so in a scientific way that’s more resistants going and passing through the wood. Just like skip chain seems to be the easier faster chain on light bars that are longer. Less drag equals 🟰 faster cutting! Just what I’ve been taught but could be completely wrong 😑
Thanks guys. I'm aware of the difference in design, just wanted to here mostly about speed. And the green takes longer to get well sharpened because there's more metal. Nice to have other opinions!
You can't punch cut with green safety chain that's the biggest thing I have against it but yes it is definitely slower cutting than yellow chain and all I run is skip chain even on 25" bars takes too long to sharp and full comp chain when u sharpen 2 or 3 saws every day
I used my identifier on my phone and it said that was a white ash tree. I tried multiple shots at different intervals and i got the same result each time. I'm not saying you're wrong, but this identifier hasn't been wrong yet. I just want to know what the tree is, I'm trying to get better for myself. For you it doesn't really matter cause no matter what the species, it's a money tree lol. Also, no disrespect meant. If anyone knows for certain please let me know.
I think Reon changed the name because he was never a part of the "Monster Tree" franchise...he used to put a disclaimer in the vids but better to just change the name, and Reon Rounds is such a cool name for a tree guy!
