You are right about that even though we may not see eye to eye on some projects we do together lol it is still nice working together thanks for watching 🤙🏻
I got those videos coming up next! Was gonna put the first on on today but we cut some trees down today and figured I would go ahead and post this video 🤙🏻
That's how I pull trees also.. I have used another tree as a block to change the angle so I didn't need a long cable and it fell away from the truck too. Good Job. Yeah like that ...LOL..... Great mimes act alike. 😂🤣😂🤣
Only thing I’d done different is use some wedges to lift the back cut up and help push the tree away from the house. Esp while hooking up tractor. Good work MBTS!
I damn near suffered heart failure at least 3 times watching this post Aaron! Damn son! OSHA might have a question about the gal so studiously raking the driveway under a tree about to fall. I have one or two. Nonetheless, good to see you posting again and keeping your channel fresh. Love home brother and good to see you again!
Hey Greg thanks for watching buddy I was slacking for a while you know how them real jobs can get in the way of them fun jobs lol but in all seriousness I appreciate the support 🤙🏻
Hi Aaron, first one of your vids I’ve found, keep em coming we’ll catch up with dp in no time 👍, first time I sharpened my chain, I marked the bar so I knew where I’d started, like they say, “you can’t fix stupid” nice one thank you mate 👍😁
Well in the end, everything worked out . But I didn't know if that one tree was going to go right or not, cause it was pulling you instead of you pulling it . Once in a while, you will get a tree that has a mind of its own . But glad that you got it going in the right direction . I like the old C 10 truck, my dad bought a brand new 1970 C 10 with a 292 6 cylinder motor, that motor was one of the best running motors that I ever sat behind, standard shift, 2 wheel drive, long bed and if I remember correctly my dad ordered it with 16" wheels instead of the regular 15" wheels . My dad put a 100, 000 and some plus miles on it and he sold it to one of my cousins and he put a lot of miles on it, driving it from Lawrence County, Kentucky to Laramie Wyoming working in the coal mines and then he quit that job and came back home and then sold that truck to a man that lived about 5 miles from me and him and his son drove it to work everyday in the coal mines, ( from Lawrence County, Kentucky to Elkhorn City, Kentucky seems like it was 3 hours driving each day for several years ) the last I heard it had 300,000 some plus miles on it and the motor never had anything done to it, but just 2 or 3 new starters and I believe 1 new clutch and gas filters, air filters and the oil changed regularly and new oil filters and new spark plugs. The dad died and then in a few years the son died . So I don't know what happened to the truck . My dad's only brother he had bought a new 1969 C 10 the same color on the outside but the inside was trimmed in brown and my dad's was dark green on the inside and the wheels were 15", where my dad's were 16" but everything else was the same with the 2 trucks, but my dad's truck always ran better and had more power and so on . After several years of my dad selling his 1970 model he borrowed his brothers 1969 model truck and this guy driving a car cut out from behind a string of traffic on Highway US23 and was trying to pass about 10 vehicles and hit my dad head on in his brothers truck and totaled it . I will see you all in another one and I will be looking forward to seeing you work on the old C 10 . So be careful and stay safe. As always, Jeffrey !!!
Thanx for sharing buddy ;-), 95% of the time this time the way it really goes down for the average father and son tag team tree removal brother, haha 😄, been there, wish he was still here to do a few more 😄 😆!
Great job guys, but Aaron I didn’t think you needed “Great White” with those guns 💪 on you, as advertised many times on DP’s channel 😂. Good thing you’re getting them down before any storm takes them down. Joshua says hi too, he didn’t like seeing you get your truck stuck, he was cheering you on😊👍🇺🇸
Well you tell Joshua I said hello and I got 2 out of 3 lol you need to let him know I had bad tires lol thanks for watching buddy I hope Joshua is keeping you in you all have a good night 🤙🏻
you can buy a Electric Chain Saw Sharpener from harborfreight... if you dont use the saw so much its a hassel to change chain but if you have 1 or 2 spare chains... Biggest problem is time and that a big problem always to little time to spend on what you want to do compared to what you have to do.
That was pretty intense there was lots of yelling we'll I'm happy it all went good. Wen I cut around houses of garage or enithing I like using a big come-along or a chain block and good tow straps or really big rope and put a good load on before cutting.
Trees are like people, you can get them started in one direction and darned if if when they get half way there they don’t change direction on yah!!!😏😉😂. Thanks for the video young man, look to see more from you. BTW, that truck setting in your garage looked pretty nice, if you haven’t already I wouldn’t mind a little walk around if you get time in the future. Thanks .
O’ what fun! Y’all figgered it out… all is safe. And , what a fun day. If you have a moment… I’ll tell you about one we had last fall. It started with my the rope toss game… I have that down to an art. I even have my own custom limb lasso. It is made from 1/2” braided nylon rope. The tossed end is two steel rings from an old grain drill drag. It started as a 100’ piece of continuous rope. Then along came Bob. Bob is one of those guys who has worked all of his life in an office or a car. He’s the guy who calls a handyman to spackle over nail holes when his wife moves a painting on the living room wall. When getting materials for a job we are doing, he’ll invariably pick up studs when we need 8 footers. Power tools don’t like Bob… so, he has none. Bob is always ready to trade labor to get tasks that he needs done. Last Fall he needed a driveway culvert replaced and concrete ends poured. My neighbor was doing that when he happened to mention our next project. It was to remove a tree right next to his house. Of course, Bob tells him that he’ll be there to help. Fast forward to tree day… four of us are there. Three of us have been cutting trees for at least two score years…. And then there is Bob! The tree is a 30” diameter white oak in declining health. Two large limbs hang over the house. Once those are removed, the tree will have a slight lean toward the house… but we all agree (including Bob) that the remainder of the limbs will counterbalance it away from the house. The plan of attack is for my neighbor (Cutter) to run the saw, me to run the bucket loader, experienced tree-smith (let’s just call him Smith) to drive the farm truck attached to the rope… and Bob to relay signals between Cutter and Smith. Rope in place, Bob is standing under the limb fall so we move him out of the way. This puts him where his sight is obstructed and he must listen for instructions. Cutter tells Bob to have Smith put some tension on the rope. Bob yells at the driver to pull. Smith starts forward slowly until he can see the rope is taut. Cutter say’s, “That’s enough.” Bob hollers, “STOP” and waves his arms violently. Smith hits the brakes hard. The sudden jolt to the limb causes a 30’ long dead piece (about the diameter of a quart of paint) to fall right where Bob would have been standing. So far, No harm/No foul. Cutter then begins to cut the limb. He finishes the under cut relief and says, “Get ready”. Bob relays that as, “When I holler GO, you pull like a bat out of hell.” Which neither Cutter nor myself hear because, we are behind the tree with the saw running. Cutter has resumed his back cut. As I said, Smith is experienced at tree work. He knows that the tension in the rope alone will likely pull the limb away from the house. All he needs is a timely notice that the limb is starting to break loose… but that is not what he gets. As soon as Cutter says, “Get ready”, Bob starts acting like he is a third base coach instructing a runner coming in hot from second… with barely enough time to slide in home ‘Safe’. He yells, “GO” and starts mimicking a prairie windmill in a tornado with his signal arm. I look on in amazement as Bob’s shout (and excessive signal) spook Smith into tapping the accelerator just a bit too hard. In an instant, I see the rope snap and the limb swing back up. The stunned Cutter puts his hand in front of his face to keep the broken end of the whiplike rope from taking his head off. Then, in slow motion the limb swings back down and breaks off at the perfect angle. This allows the tip to topple harmlessly onto the ground and bounce the limb away from the house. Smith parks the truck and walks back to the tree to find out exactly what happened. I lower Cutter to the ground where all four of us gather to discuss our adventure. Our postmortem goes like this… Cutter describes the Bullwhip encounter. Smith apologizes for panicking. I get ready to suggest that perhaps Bob had misinterpreted the signal. But, I am cut short by Bob’s announcement that his suspicion had been confirmed. “I knew all along that rope wasn’t going to be strong enough!” Cutter looks at Bob and says, “You might be onto something there!” As I’m doing my Boy Scout Knot Tying Merit Badge practice on the rope ends…. I ask the rope, “Why after 10 years of use in pulling limbs and trees, did you decide to fail today?” A question for which the world may never have an answer. Well, as I said, my rope used to be one continuous 100’ length… before Bob. And, I just described the first time it got broken that day… curiously it was not to be the last. But… I’ll have to describe the second Bob Effect later… let’s just say, he proved without a doubt that the rope I’ve used successfully for all these years was not tough enough to survive Bob’s testing methods! PS: next time you need some help getting trees down, I can give you Bob’s number. If nothing else, he can test your rope!
You are right that was long but good I like things like this it gives a person something to think about and just like the age of the rope just made me think about the age of that rope it is probably 7-8 years old now
AS You Tuber Ron Pratt would comment, a good Holmes tree makes for a good redirect. He has used a few Holmes trees for his tricker wrecker recoveries over the years.
It's like my brother told me when I first started riding Harley's ... "You ride it or it will ride you." .... Same goes with cutting trees bud. Get on that horse and RIDE.
One more redirect (if available) on the hill would have made that pull downhill. Not only more advantage but on the remote chance there would be pull on the truck as the tree fell, it would have pulled the truck away from the lake. Of course, that's 20/20 hindsight with absolutely no risk to the commenter...
You forgot to ask one important question, WWWD??? ( What would Wade do ) 🙈🤣 Sharpened teeth gave the saw more bite than a hungry piranha 🤭 Beau looked like he was fresh from his pit too 😴🤣
It's great seeing you back Aaron! This is the first video they told me about, I'm going to have to catch up on the ones I missed... Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!
Hey thank you for jumping over! I appreciate it yeah I got some videos of what I do for a living they ain’t the best but it’s a busy world when I’m at my real job thanks for watching 🤙🏻
Aaron, 2 out of 2, 💯 %! No harm no foul!! I had no doubt it was gonna be a win win. I pretty much predicted the calamity when I saw your truck headed up hill near the pond edge!! Nice job buddy!
Aaron worked is small engine shop for years. The correct way to tension a chain saw chain is to start with it setting flat on the bench , not on its side. Then loosen both bar lock down nuts, then raise up on the tip of the bar, you want the tip as high as it will go, then tension the chain till it starts to pull the bar tip down a bit. While still holding the bart tip up fully tighten the bar lock down nuts. After this is done you should just be able to grab the chain on the top side of bar and just pull it up till the drive rakers just clear the slot in the bar. Don't pull like you are a baby gorilla but use a fair amount of force.
Yes I know I didn’t do it like I usually do, I usually use a stump saw into it and yeah push the tip of the bar down but I never knew the tip to watch for it to start pulling the bar down I will have to do that the next time thanks for watching Adam and the advice 🤙🏻
Nice video aaron.. BTW.. over the past few years i had fun seeing you in DP's video's and because of that i don't care what you are gonna post. I'll run the video's so youtube hopfully sends you some revenue.
Just a Lil FYI if you was using a real truck you never would have got stuck lol that was a good video and next time call the real logger in to do that if you're not afraid of him whipping you at the pie eating contest. I have learned a lot from this video and that is you can't use a chevy to pull trees bc you will get stuck every time
Nice video !!!! Now I'm gonna need one of these every Sunday while I'm detoxing from football being over !!!!! First couple of Sundays are tough after the SB ☺️🤣😀👍
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 I’m not either. I’m going to sub that out. I’m just about to the stage where if you were here you could finish the welding in a few hours
Camera perspectives can be weird. the second tree looked like it was on the opposite side from the tank from when you first showed it, then the tree looked like it would hit you, then it looked like you were going to cream into the shed when it fell. dang ole camera lens man.
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 I put Lmfao because things never always go the way you want them to. And also forgot to add thank you for sharing with us
Man I love David Mann he was great! And yeah the restore videos are coming up next but I’m no body man just did what I could do because I couldn’t find anyone to do it 😞🤙🏻
I had to hold my breath on this one, to many people in the wrong places.. filming ,rigging was ok but your down in a hole on side of of a hill in the mud ? I bet you learned something on this one Hua ? Nice safe job, See Ya
