Good work guys - very pro. Safe removal of threatening trees. Love the drone footage as well - you insist on a top job all the way through to video & publish of what you do. Stay safe guys !
First off sick video.. and I remember when those strap clips first debuted in the Sherrill tree catalog I said I gotta get those.. anyone who Is hesitant on them really needs to try them I'm a firm believer in that after 10 years of screwing and unscrewing shackles will do damage to your elbow after a couple thousand trees from the crane I can tell you not only do they speed the job up but it really saves on repetitive motion.. yes they are a lil more expensive than shackles but so is being laid up after surgery... EXCELLENT work and thanks for sharing
I learned how to climb at Tree Climbers International in Atlanta Georgia, shortly after I spent most of my free time watching Monkey Beaver videos. I analyzed tie in/rigging points and hit the pause button a lot. About a month or so ago I came across Reons videos and now the monkey beaver takes a back seat lol. I come home from a day of tree work and always make time to watch your vids, some of which I’ve watched 10x. So cool you guys work together and I’m a huge fan of you guys. I aspire to have your fleets/set up. But, you gotta learn before you earn! God bless!
Here because of your work with August. Nice videos, great editing, music and shots. Some pretty great rigging too. Crane work takes a tone of thought and reading weight. Great work.
Actually pretty bummed out the more I think about it. Why would youtube not recommend your videos if I watch August all the time? Where did you find the music and who is it?
Two things caught my attention as unique to this video. The shot of the climber stretching his bicep. People don't think how much time is spent with those muscles holding your position, even when riding the crane. And then at the end when your face cut was so huge you needed a wedge to finish it! Both things make sense when you think about them, but how often do we think about them? Stay safe and thank you for sharing!
Never personally seen a crane tree work in person. Although I work for a tree service we don’t have a crane, and it’s just 3 of us so we hand pick trees this big and we make the home owners damn proud. I’m not trying to say we’re better than other people but it does take a lot of skill to be a tree cutter especially when taking down big ass trees with and without a crane
Wow very professional job great rigging on the limbs. And coming in with a tilt bed for the trunk is a great idea. Only thing questionable is riding up on the crane... I've been an operator for 15 yes and the only way I've flown guys up is in a basket. The crane service I work for will not do tree service because you never know what something you're cutting will weigh for sure so they won't take the liability.
what an awesome video. Great scenery.The drone recordings are mind blowing. The work up there was just amazing to watch :) So glad I found your channel
You are fast becoming my favorite channel. You company is not only part of a cool industry that I love, but you are cutting edge and a class act. Thanks for all the great vids. Question on this one: You usually cut deeper v cuts when your picking large limbs, but I noticed that you did not so much here. Maybe a smaller v right on the back I noticed. Shed some light!
Excellent work sir!!! Top notch crew. Ever use rope slings for brushing out the tree? We only brake the big red slings out on trunk wood. Either way, excellent work!!!👍👍
Badass work, guys. I'm in the middle of my first wide canopy crane job right now. Tomorrow should be the last of 3 days. I'm dealing with similar situations but without a certified hook to rappel from, so I've been using high anchor points and working out then up these long, curved eucalyptus stalks, taking 4,000+ pound picks. I've been using wire chokers and it's not nearly as graceful and controlled as what I see in your video. Your crew in this video is commendable. Are you hiring?
What was the plan for the huge trunk? Milling, or just didn't want to have to clean up the sawdust from cutting it in place? PS. I love the way you edit your videos. You keep it interesting and entertaining throughout!
Love your videos man. Hope you and your family are staying safe an healthy. Where can I score a XL hoodie with your business logo on it. I'm a tree climber too and would love to have one for daily wear.
Reon I have watched this video about 20 times I love the music and precision that was a huge tree and y’all did an awesome job with that big girl good climber work and smooth operator nice work buddy one of my favs
I want you to know that you and the ethic that you stand behind it has given me so much ambition that I would love and be honored to shake your hand along with a couple of other great guys but please know one thing brother these videos of you showing the lifestyle that you live outside of it being very strenuous to deal with on a day-to-day... There are a few of us that really really understand it✊✊✊💯
Cottonwoods are horrible trees to have in a lawn, especially right next to a house. I've seen one in Colorado completely move a house off its foundation. The house was totally destroyed.
I love my 880 r with 59" bar that thing is a beast to make a wedge cut with. And shit u got prolly 100lb on me haha, we have huge cottonwoods,maples,oaks,elms,willows like that in Michigan. When I bought my 880 the dealer in detroit was like wait what size bar? They don't make this size. Lol when I showed up everyone at the dealer was taking pics with it. I normally just run the 41" bar on it as the slabbing felling saw, but when I gotta cut monsters like that ,that 59" bar is a time saver
Reon Rounds ya I use mine on most removal jobs here in Detroit/suburbs. The cutting speed and power is just amazing. We only have a small 6" chipper and 65' dte bucket truck that has a gin pole winch rated at 1 ton. And it's just a side biz me and my buddy have(fully insured) but we r full time union high steel riggers(12 years, certified rope access techs and rescue techs, plus a bunch of other certs) but I grew up doing some tree work for a few years as a teen.
Reon Rounds I really wanna get more into tree work cause I miss working outside, mostly stuck inside buildings climbing crazy ass steel beams in places ppl never could think u could get to after a building(stadium,arenas,giant warehouses, big 3 manufacturing plants above giant machines that they normally would have to completely remove to get access to)
