Awesome video August! You even cut out the part where I almost destroy that little tree and you suggest I correct my aim lol. Thank you 😂 it was super weird for me watching myself on someone else’s RU-vid video lol
Much love and respect from a decade long Tree Guy!!! Y'all still entertain and teach us new techniques and save a lot of new climbers. Thanks for the good times fellas!
The little tree at 4:00 looks like a Callery or Bradford pear.The dead part may have been a grafted fruit variety,but the living part had the small Callery seed pears on the branches.About 2-4 weeks before Winter cold weather ends in your area is the best time to graft good fruit producing pear scion to the rootstock. Nice Work!
Just sent this clip to a work buddy, gave him a good laugh. Been working with the guy for 11 years now, he's a solid friend, and we have to look away from each other when doing RPS or we'll get the same thing 5x in a row.
August has such a dry sense of humor and I love it! The subtle little edits in his videos crack me up. He blurs Damien's face. Lol I'm glad Jacob got to come and work with ya August. You two are by far my favorite tree channels on RU-vid! Thanks for the content!
I love Rock Paper Scissors edit. Also, I would love an excuse to get an excavator but we have a lot of tight residential, nice machine. In 10 years you’re going to see that little tree you saved:). Great vid August!
@@AugustHunicke ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eEznJGpTTo4.html Here’s something we just got to RU-vid format to go along with the name. I just watched one of your monologue videos that was meaningful talking about $10,000 credit card bills and unrest in paradise, etc. I appreciate your transparency, you, no doubt, have made a difference in peoples lives with that vulnerability. Good work August.
That was a good job there now I'm curious why didn't you take a good log chain and tie the big forked tree tops together with the chain and use counterbalance for the leaner from the one that was leaning towards the way you were wanting it to go too now idk if you've ever heard of this before but I've done that in the mountains here a plenty of times for that reason there
Taking the 2 biggest Yews that I have ever seen down to the 8’ mark. Like a hundred trees in one. Starting on the second one in 1 hr from now. These are about 45’ tall and spread out over a busy state route with a 55 mph speed limit. Rather be doing what you just did. Tall trees again tomorrow ☕️👍
I’m jealous of the ability to use an excavator… I seldom can get one in the tight spots I work without taking down a fence ….as for coffee I have a keurig hooked up in the back seat of the duramax plugged into the power inverter. Coffee anytime ,anywhere!
Thanks for the info. I looked it up but its still a little too wide. I have a little toro dingo with a bucket and a grapple and we use it when we can. I can’t remember the rating(I think 1000), but it gets wobbly at 500lbs. The problem is that almost all of my residential customers here in Colorado have cedar fences, gates, steps,retaining walls and the damn tree is always in the back yard on a slope by five other things and 10ft from the neighbors. and the HOA is pain in the ass about taking down a fence panel or even running equipment on there grass. Its not so much of a problem on commercial sites/ parking lots. I have worked in Orlando and other cities and it was so much easier as far as getting everything loaded and cleaned up. You just cut it up enough for the grapple to handle it, drag it to the front, load with the grapple truck or feed the chipper! Humping stuff out by hand and with a cart has gotten old after 20+ yrs and we just seem to always be short on help the last few years!
Before 6:07 , why did you tie it off on that rather than the grapple ? And used the gravel to tuck it in when pulling .. asking to knowledge myself I don’t want to be doing things wrong haha (self taught)
Might be a awkward question but how much do you guys charge for a job like that ? Trying to get the prices right. Maybe you can do a video on pricing the jobs ?
No real professional is ever going to answer that because there are too many variables and also, it varies by locality. I live in a very wealthy area and all the contractors know that and price accordingly. Find a reputable tree service in your area and get an estimate. Then get one or two more estimates and compare.
It varies so much based on things that can’t be seen or directly represented in a video. Things such as your local market saturation, the distance the job is from your home base location, how desperate you need work, how technical the job is/ % of your capabilities it will actually require, personal business ethics/relationships, your particular businesses immediate goal, as to growing, profiting or maintaining. I think the bast way to personally figure out how much you should charge for tree work is to bid jobs incrementally higher and higher than you think it is worth until you don’t get 10-20% of the jobs you bid on. If 100% or even 90% accept your bid, you are not charging enough.
Is it the three musketeers. Food for thought youngsters bark is dirt! If your chain last 10 to 20 times longer it’s that much less wear and tear on your bar and on your saw l And most important that much less wear on you how much money will that put in your pocket there is a trick think about it? Be safe use your head nice to see you guys working together share knowledge where is your old timer? Are you using a six sided file? I should try to make a RU-vid video for you youngsters. I was fortunate I learned probably from the worlds best cutters it still took me a while it’s a whole different world. I don’t see anybody on the Internet have these techniques down. Hopefully I have all of you thinking.. Always keep your eye on the game never turn and run! When the tree is falling you never take your eye off of it none of you cause it takes is one Widowmaker! It’s so easy just to step to one side to dodge 10 of them coming at ya it’s like playing baseball take your eye off it’s gonna hit you right square in the head and you’ll be dead. You are doing the most dangerous job in the world. Doesn’t it feel good have fun!
2 chainsaws, 6 cameras... and one ladybug. Just say no to Starbucks. No 2nd amendment, no customers. I make my own, French Press coffee. Everyone is welcome in my place for coffee, whatever they are carrying. As long as it's not a Starbucks cup. No ladybugs were harmed in the filming of this tree removal...
@@batmantiss If I'm ever in Boise, I'll drop you a line. Us coffee guys need to stick together. It's hard to beat any coffee made by someone who cares enough to actually make coffee.
I lived in Japan for a year and a half. ALL decisions among friends are decided by RPS. There can be 10 in the group and they'll whittle the group down to one winner in a quick fury of throws.
Prefer the non GOT collaborations…Been here since the beginning. What ever happen to bix vids ?? Anyhow that’s just my opinion no pun intended. You do you! Be safe….
