- This tree was MASSIVE and tricky to cut down. With over 40 thousand pounds of tree to cut and maneuver around wires, we had our work cut out for us!

Great video you did an amazing job. Had to lwatch on mute tho. You don't need the annoying music. Listening to the saw is perfect.The music is too loud and overshadows everything. Love
@@gailalicea1622 I have to agree, the music is distracting from the saws and the conversation.
I agree.
There was music? lol
didn't even notice it
I agree- the music is unnecessary.
I liked to cool vibe of the music, it fit the methodology of his work perfectly. He was very chill during his work and the music went right along with it.
I'm an 80 yr old woman and this is very fascinating to watch! I feel like I'm in the tree and the narration is fantastic. Kudos to the crane operator! 😊😊😊😊
Hi, I'm a 93 yr old woman in Seattle, and I found this equally fascinating to watch. I always thought a tree was more or less chopped down from the base!! Wrong!! I learned, still learning at this age, aren't we, 80 yr old lady??? All workers were outstanding, certainly knew what they were doing. Thank you for the great video. xoxoxo
Oh great. Trying to kick my addiction to lawn care videos and this pops up in my recommended! I curse you CZcams! 😂😂😂😂 (awesome to watch)
@eury5405 Hahaa, none of your other lawn care videos have a crane in them do they? That's gotta be worth something 😅
Same lol
😂
Get out of my mind!
Both the tree surgeon and the crane operator have tremendous skill, they make a great team too. Stay safe guys.
@@vjohnson2400 thanks man, mighty kind of you to say!
Very nice job guys! That definitely was a tough one. Serious cudos to the crane operator, definitely knows his craft. It's always a pleasure watching good men doing an excellent job💯
Thanks! We couldn't have done with without our operator for the day, Mike. He's so good at craning trees.
@@dominichamel4685 Absolutely!!!!!
Wow. Just listening to that and watching the crane weight move...brought back all the itch and ache this job brings. Cranes are a god sent to logging that you young folks have no idea to know about. I am in my mid 70's and logged for a number of years and my family owned Drott Manufacturing and logging company from the 1830's thru about the 1950's 60's. They invented many of the equipment of the trade then and improved to now. I still can smell the the sap and the oil/gas even now. My family started with axes, cross saws, saw pits and horses. I used draw knives and bucked" the pulp logs to the skidder for paper as I was too small for the heavy work. Miserable job for anyone let alone a small female. Don't recommend it. Thanks for taking me along memory lane in my wheelchair. You be safe now.
Maple? Good firewood?
@@donnadees1971 I'd say maple is regarded as mediocre firewood in this area.
Wow dude, that thing was a beast. Keep going brother, you're setting a good example for young Arborists and making a great name for yourself 💪
Thanks, Jack! Being a good example is my primary goal with this channel. I'm far from perfect and so I'm still happy to learn from f9lks in the comments, but I hope to encourage other people to take the time to take the safe approach.
I've helped a good friend on a couple big maples like this. I was just a pair of hands on the ground. I watched his climber do exactly what you are doing. I was amazed. Not so much by the height, I'm a roofer and I love the height. But the rigging skills. I had never seen a video of a tree like this from the climber's perspective. You are incredible !!!!!
@calliecooke1817 That's mighty kind of your to say Callie. You roofers are a different breed, too. I hate being on ladders and roofs. It take some skills to work at elevation all day and never fall off of anything.
Awesome ‼️🫡🇺🇸
Thank you!
I know you earned your money on this job. This is very hard work! Please take care of your body! We only get one and once it’s damaged/hurt it’s never the same again! I am speaking from experience! I was hurt very badly in 1991… while serving in the Navy. My lower back was hurt. My SI Joints have fused. A stroke a year ago has caused me more damage. Not sure how much longer I have here? I enjoy your videos!
You take care of yourself!
Aw man, I'm very sorry to hear that. My dad has a similar story from and auto accident. It's definitely shown me the value of being a little more careful.
Thank you for your service Sir! Sorry to hear about your injury!
Great video and good camera work. It felt like I was right there with you. Nice job.
Thanks man!
damm I want you to cut down my oak tree after watching this video.
@kellysongsjones4249 haha thats very flattering 😅 where are you located? I know some folks in some near by states that might be able to help you.
I'm not going to watch
@@bernicelycklama7619 okay 😅 hope you have a great day!
You can tell safety is your priority, as it should be. Fantastic job!! 👍
@mollywalsh2860 Thanks, Molly!
I bought the 16 inch milwaukee top handle and the 10 inch pole saw combo because of your videos. I love having the option of going up in the tree without a gas saw. And cuttong first thing in the morning doesnt piss off the neighbors since its so much quieter.
Absolutely! I love that little thing for so many reason. My 201 is just a back up these days 😂 I'm thrilled to hear I was able to make a good example of it for you!

Well no nuts then.
Just NO!! NO!!
I thought smoke jumpers were crazy
that's a pretty darn nasty maple you got there. I'd say you removed it the safest and most appropriate way possible. Glad to see you staying safe up there man.
Aw thanks man. That's encouraging feedback. I really appreciate that!
Fascinating to watch, Zach! Amazing work! Hope some of that maple wood can be used to build something nice.
What a great video thank you for taking us along. That looks so dangerous. I'm happy that you are so careful.
Love the voice over explanation of why you are doing what you are doing as you go along.
@@Laughinghawg thanks!
Very interesting to hear the weights of the pieces as they came off. Amazing that tree was still standing at all. An all around satisfying video to watch. Good job.
Watching you cut this dead and rotting tree down in pieces, I understand why it is so expensive to remove such trees from a property. Amazing.🤗💚
Being afraid of heights My stomach was in knots watching this but I stuck with it to the end amazing
Same here!
NOT ME JACK!!!!! Trees like that scare the heck outta me!!!!
What bravery! Enjoyed from Texas!
Yeah, people don't generally like jokes with their PPE 😅 That was an awesome tree and a fantastic job getting it all through the mess of wires running in and around it!! 😊👍👍👍👍👍
Haha true 😅 thanks man!
Amazing team work. I've never thought about how much a tree weighs.
@theresaburg5881 they're surprisingly heavy sometimes!
Super job. Loved the narration as well. Hop to see you again.
I love the commentary after every cut. Awesome job on this vid
@@izzy123412457 thanks man, I appreciate that feedback!
This is so AMAZING!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it!! I felt as if i were in the tree with you!!!!! God Bless!!!!!❤
Your the man !!! What a job !!!! Thanks for taking us along . 7 feet across , wow !!!
Haha thanks Adrian, it was huge 😂
Zach went well when making your cut objective should be to have crane lift without having to break it off. Next time, make the first cut, then cut for top like a wedge cut. Works well crane operator's usually don't like to wiggle or side load boom to make their lift a lot of unnecessary stress on equipment. A huge learning curve will learn tricks of trade as you do more.
I'm familiar with the v cuts and shelf cuts that are common in the industry. They're great for pieces with 3 slings and such. But when a piece is only tip tied and the butt has a little greater chance of moving around when it comes off of the cut, I'd rather get out of the way and let the crane release the piece from the tree.
Wow that was a huge tree. There was electric wires too not good. You did a wonderful job.
Thank you!
Diggin' the sidewalk going up and around the root😂
Very well done guys , what you've shown is that tree felling is an art , I find it amazing how nature is able to survive , even though most of the main trunk was rotten , the tree still found a way to carry on growing healthy wood above the rotten , it's incredible.
I am glad you mentioned the power was off! Always be cautious of the line back feed from mrs. jones generator. The power company should also ground the high voltage stuff because the transformers can amp up a generator back feeding the lines. Nice work and knowledge.
Thanks man! They did have the line grounded which was important because the lines across the street were still live. Wpuodnt want those to get crossed somehow if something went wrong
As a marketer, let me just say this as gently as I can: Lose the music, bro. Your voiceover is perfect, and it is plenty. Best tree removal from around power lines I’ve ever seen…and I’ve seen a lot!
@@CogentConsult okay thanks for that feedback!
What incredible skill you guys have! Bravo!!!! Great work! Great video!!!! The voice over was just fine! Thanks!!!!
@Aunty-A Thanks Aunty-A!
Hi Zach, catching up on some of your older videos. What a job to have a cold with but thankfully you had the Crane with a good operator to assist you.
It is awesome that the Crane has a scale to measure weight. It is amazing that the one stump weighed 9,000 pounds.
Glad that you were able to get footage of the Crane lifting the pieces from above as that made for great footage.
With the Power lines on this job it was really great to have the Crane to lift off the pieces and not worry about the hitting the wires.
You have a great talent for creating videos and enjoy all your narration and Voiceovers when necessary.
@benburns5995 Thanks, man! I really appreciate that feedback.
Thanks for another good one! That thing was a monster!
You make it look easy. Much respect. Does someone follow up with a stump grinder?
This is an awesome episode! Crushing it, Zach!
@BissellMapleFarm Thanks Nate!
Holy cats, that was a sketchy tree! All those power lines were making my hair stand on end!
Haha, yeah, it was! I would haven't never even tried to do it without getting the power turned off. Electrocution is the leading cause of death for tree guys and I don't want to be a part of that Stat 😅
@@zaccheus Yikes! Yeah that's not good!
Making a job like that look easy...the sign of a true professional. Well done! I'm glad you had that crane too or you'd still be there!
@missingutah thanks! We sure would be 😂
Great job Zach.Greetings from Poland!
Thank you!
I like how you made one pick with the husqvarna and then next scene you have a good saw. That was favorite.
Haha husky makes good stuff. That little saw was having a bad day and it had a short pull cord on it which was really frustrating me 😂
@@zaccheus it’s fun to tease. It’s like the whole Ford VS Chevy thing, Chevy is just better…🤷♂️
@toomanytrees218 haha, of course. I do give bo a little bit if a hard time for his choice in saws. He gives it right back though
Your videos are always informative, educational, and sometimes fun! Thanks.
Thanks, john!
So you see how ppl are trying to learn from you. There’s a fair amount of bad in this video most don’t know what there lookin at. Start with losing the snap cut. It will get you or others killed. Pick up a good book or watch some proper crane work. If it’s a limb out to the side shelf cut it. If it’s vertical v cut it. Get some proper slings build in some safety a longer sling allows you to half hitch where you want and then drop down half hitch on something stronger and then terminate. Will save your ass if the first one breaks. Build in your own safety. Also no pin on the hook massive no no. Don’t take any of this as me being an ass or knowing it all. But I do crane work every week and I don’t want to see you get hurt. I love the content thank you for posting. Also when using shackles never leave the pin on the running side it can and will roll out. Always put the pin on the dead side.
@joe964 You gotta offer more than commands. Tell me why to avoid the snap cut. As I see it, I'd rather the butt be released from the tree while I'm far away from it than me releasing it from the tree while I'm in reach. I do half hitch and anchor when something looks un trustworthy. Do you do it on every pick? Do you do it on both slings when you use two slings? The hook did have a safety catch. Is there something else you're referring to?
@@zaccheus the snap cut gives you zero control. Yes it allows you to get away from the cut but offers no control after it’s snapped. If you make a v the peace will stay in the v and you have zero chance of loading the crane up and then all of a sudden unloading it if you missed some wood on the snap you’ll never know until it’s to late. It’s different if everything was leaning then shelf cut it.
@@zaccheus I always build in redundancy. Always try to make it like a Daisy chain. That way if something happens above, then it has to go back down and it will rely on the next half hitch or your termination spot. Instead of just falling apart in the sky.
Great music and epic tree removal. Such a nice selection of saws! And the saw “music” was a perfect volume.
@@jwaterous224 Thanks for that feedback!
The only way I can do something like this is watching you do it because I have vertigo but I love watching it. Great job.
Aw man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope my head movements aren't too much for you. I've been thinking about getting a special camera for mounting in the tree to reduce helmet cam shots. Either way, I'm glad I've been able to take you along for the ride!
Years ago, we took down a huge soft maple that was reputed to be the largest soft maple in the state. It had grown between a house and a detached garage. I don't remember the diameter of the solid trunk, but we welded two crosscut saws end to end to do the final cut. At about 20 feet up, it divided into three branches, each as large as trees we normally encountered. I was the climber for the whole job, mostly just a two men job with occasional third person helping. One of the trunks had a 7 foot black snake that was bird hunting, on another I encountered a mama raccoon and three babies, the last limb contained a honey bee hive in a hollow about 40 feet up. We called a local bee keeper and borrowed his gear and assistance in lowering the sections of bee hive. All done with spikes and ropes. We were able to swing the bee sections to the other side of the garage where a commercial hive was placed. The three sections were cut open to find and place the queen in the new box that had several expansion boxes filled with drawn comb. The next morning, the bees had moved all of the honey and brood to the new hive! Only one sting when the beekeeper let the end of the hanging trunk section rest against his thigh and squashed a bee.
@shermanhofacker4428 Wow, that's quite a story to remember. I enjoy manual climbing and rigging more than crane work. The crane is just more appropriate for some jobs.
Enjoyed the video. A huge decayed tree. That's WORK. Especially when you're not 100%. Really nice job. Kudos to the crane man.
Glad to hear it! The crane operator, Mike, killed it on this tree.
👏👏👏 Excellent job❤
It was only a matter of time before I ended up on arbor youtube after lawn car and pool cleaning videos haha. It's awesome getting to see this POV for this kind of job, it looks really fun to be honest!
@gaiaonline67vim It's a blast! Ioved impingement trees as a kid and it's proved to be even more fun as a profession 😅
I cannot believe they had power wires going through a tree like that! You did a great job getting it down though.
@@frasercrone3838 thank you!
The tree went through the power wires i think?
I call a trunk like that a "Ring Of Fire"... just a ring of wood and completely rotted out inside and hollow. It's absolutely amazing how so comparatively little wood around the perimeter could have been holding up that giant heavy tree! That shows how strong wood really is! Who knows how much longer that tree could have remained standing if you hadn't taken it down when you did. It should have been taken down a long time ago. If it had fallen, it would have taken out all of those power lines and likely done major damage to the house as well. What a nasty MESS that would have been. Great job taking it down so cleanly! 👍👍
Are you more or less nervous when using a crane over rigging stuff diwn manually?
Haha if I have a good crane operator, I see less opportunity for something to go wrong, however if something does go wrong, the consequences are probably bigger. I'd say I'm generally more confident in the crane than the tree.
Very interesting. The young man doing the cutting and the crane operator were obviously very skilled at what they do.
Mike is smooth af on the joysticks for sure and i gotta say that is some spooky work your doing! Id be checking cinch straps constantly. Definitely some brass on you 😮
@toddbashem1430 Haha Mike is the magic to the whole thing. It is a lot of risky work, we definitely keep large margins on critical picks to keep the risk as low as possible.
On the newer side to doing crane work. I found that having a mini wedge to a key lanyard helps a lot on them flat pieces sitting back down. I go in about 85%90% then pull saw and finish with a small angle”shelf” cut from the top down and she’s free. Thanks for the videos and walking us through crane work. Would like to see one with various cuts used on cranes and how much picks weigh
Wow! What a job you had. Great job to you and your crew.
@@jenniferschnieder6316 thank you!
I'm VERY impressed. Such clever, though dangerous work! How you all extricated that massive, multibranched tree from out of those criss-crossing power lines was something to behold! Thank you for the (vicarious), experience!♥ (By the way, I agree with the comment that you don't need the music.)
Glad to see another video Great Work Hans From the Netherlands
Great job Zach! Always nice working with a good crew and operator! Since you’ve got two climbers on site have you ever tried just having Bo set all the slings while you park and cut?
We did do a little bit of that for the more horizontal limbs there. We was one of o ly two on the ground, though, so we wanted to keep him down there as much as possible.
Zaccheus up in the tree, deja vu! Amazing job!
Good show Zach. I see you ditched the "Bo saw" real quick but it's good to see Bo is a zig zag guy!😁
Haha, it was not a good day for me and husqvarna 😂 yes he is. I would have been on a zig zag that smday too if I hadn't left mine at home 🤦♂️
That was different. Never a dull moment :)
Outstanding job unbelievable what a log weights.. I'm totally surprised that the tree didn't fall over from the rot !!!
Got a real saw now 😂 love it. Hey buddy try a shelf cut out next time. I think you like it, it’s a bit less stressful on crane.
I am familiar with it. I just like to get away from the piece before it c9me off. If the operator uses the weight of the piece to make the break, it shouldn't put any undue stress on the crane, right?
Yoke has 3/4, 1, and 1-1/4" shackles with a spring loaded pin. The pin retracts to the full opening of the shackle but is retained. Good for reducing dropped objects. I haven't used them in the real rigging industry but I bought a few for myself and they look good. They say they are proof tested to 200% and are batch marked for proof test and quality traceability.
Ohh that's very interesting, I'll have to look into that. CMI has a shackle that they bore out and put a slic pin in. I'll use it for rigging attachment on big wood sometimes if I'm working with a crew that struggles with knots.
@@zaccheusYoke or B/A Products Twist Lock shackle. Yoke makes these but I guess B/A is marketing them. B/A does towing and trailer stuff.
Fantastic job. Was on the edge of my seat. 😮 That was a huge huge tree. Glad it is down, it was pretty rotten. Good job guys be safe where ever you go. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Catch you all on the next one. Also kudos to the crain operator, smooth as butter.😊
@brendamoody1309 Thanks Brenda!
AWESOME WORK!!
I'm sooooo dizzy watching 👀 😅
Ty for sharing!!
Hey Zach that tree was giant! That's a ton of decay in the base too! Which is probably a good reason to crane it out so as to not introduce rigging forces, in addition to all the electric lines in close proximity. Nice job! That's probably the most saws I've seen you use in one video😅.
Haha, thats cause I usually only have two. Bo has a solid collection and I'm glad 😂
I only really have 2 good saws-a Milwaukee top handle and an Echo 7310. I have 2 others but they're basically last resort- a husky 340 that was given to me. And a MCculloch Eager beaver -that that overheats and is a pain to start after a few cuts...
@MikeBrooks12550 Ugh, there is nothing worse than trying to get a job done woth equipment that doesn't work. Thats part of why I only have two gas saws. The 500 and 201 are all I need for most trees. Anything more than that is just extra stuff to maintain.
You mentioned modifications to your Milwaukee chain... possibly taking one side of the rackers off? That would make a much better cutting chain, but the folks at Milwaukee don't want to talk about it. On the Oregon Website I saw something indicating that the Government prohibits chainsaw chains of that size from not having the anti-kickback double rackers. I've been thinking about modifying mine also.
I was taking off the little safety tabs that reduce kickback. They also reduce bore cutting ability. I accidently made one of the regular rakers a little thin and it broke off.
Job well done by everyone involved. I would have enjoyed seeing some shots from the ground interspersed to gauge your progress. Amazing tree removal.
@@elizabethkelley683 okay, thank you for the feedback!
As always class A stuff there my friend. I was wondering if those lines were still hot!
Haha not a chance! It wasn't primary power, but I don't need to be that close to electricity. I've got enough other work to do 😂
Great job by the tree workers and the crane operator removing a dead tree in a dangerous place.
Very impressive work; especially how well balanced the branches were when they were lifted by the crane.
I'm absolutely amazed that with that much weight, that thing was still standing and had not come crashing down.
@Calango741 Thanks! Me too. I'm often amazed at how trees manage to stay upright with so little structure. Thanks for watching!
Lots of challenges with that one. Good stuff buddy! Ok, I didn't scroll through the other comments, so if this is a repeat ?, I apologize but how did you destroy a raker?
Haha, no problem. The milwaukee saw comes with a .325 lo pro chain from Oregon. There aren't too many chain options in that size, and so I decided to cut the extra little anti kickback bits off with an angle grinder. I made one of the rakers a little thin on accident, and it broke off, so it would catch real bad and was super annoying to use. I got a new chain for it now though.
Great job guys it was amazing.
Loved it. You guys really earn your paychecks. Thanks for sharing.

@@user-Carolyn-k7e Thanks! Some else mentioned the sculpting value of a large piece like that. I hadn't considered that before. I'll have to look into the artists in my area and see if they'd be interested in taking that kind of thing in the future.
this is nerve- racking just watching, great job of taking that tree down, the crane operator is top notch
Absolutely fascinating and interesting. Thank you for sharing and have a fantabulous day.
@@mariamontalvo-vachon7581 Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you found it to be worth the watch!
At 4:40 you hook the 500 on your side. Is it just like a big Cari tool or whatever a big hook you hang the saw on
Just the big shembiner. I used to have a big carritool, I broke the gate off of it somewhere along the way and found it worked way better without the gate. I think I lost it and replaced it with the shembiner.
I've got one of these silver maples in my side yard. Those things rot from the inside out and make a nasty mess when trying to cut them down. Mine has a twelve foot circumference and there won't be much life left. You sure have a great operator in Mike.
@mikco99 Oh wow, that would have been a big one! You hot the nail on the head about rot. They have very little natural decay resistance. I just took another one down maybe a month ago that was so incredibly rotten, that I don't even know how it was surviving our season thunderstorms. Mike is real good, I've been blessed to have a skilled operator to work with.
I almost had to take some Dramamine! Hahahahaha hahahaha ❤😂😂😂😖
@amyaiken576 Haha I'm sorry about that. Sometimes the helmet cam isn't the best, I'm hoping to mount the camera in the tree more in the future
Just fyi when slinging with those shackles you’re safest option to rotate the shackle because when putting tension on the sling can loosen the bolt up as it’s pulling the sling through the shackle. You should rotate it so the sling is tightened pulling up on the U of the shackle not the bolt. 13:30
Thanks for the tip! I can definitely see how it wpukd tighted or loosen a shackle in an inconvent way. I'll be sure to flip them around next time.
Great work. That was one nasty tree. Great to see your channel growing so big.
Thanks Brandon!
I am praying the city paid for that. Big job. Nicely done.
@@davelindgren5245 thanks!
Amazing. So nerve wracking. Fun to watch.
Ima climber but I haven’t done a crane job yet but the ones I have been on the crane guy always said to put the pin from the shackle on the part of the sling that is not moving as it tightened also all those snap cuts never seen em done on a crane job, one day I’ll be up there n I ain’t gone do what you were doing
That is a good idea. Putting the pin in the eye of the sling would reduce the chances of the pin over tightening and causing trouble for the ground guys. I'll keep that in mind for the next one. The snap cuts seem to be a controversial cut. I don't have a ton of experience with cranes, but the operator here has a bunch of experience with trees and he recommended I make them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Good job 👍 buddy. Shows the pros at work ❤
@sandymoses6302 Thanks Sandy!
I thought maple wood made good furniture. Too bad no one could get ahold of it for that. What a beautiful hearty tree. All that damage and still producing all those leaves!
@pammickle3935 it was an incredible creature. Some kinda of maple make good furniture and some do not. This species of maple is particularly soft and the structure of the tree with those big limbs has a tendency to make the wood grow with stored internal stress in the logs. Thay stress gets released when the logs are cut into board and it makes the board warp. Anything is possible, it might jut be a lot easier with a different species of maple.
I'm surprised some sentimental nature environmentalist activist group didn't file litigation to halt the removal of this old maple tree. But just looking at its decrepit, unhealthy bark and you knew this maple tree was living on borrowed time. Its rotted base foretells the next big wind and thunderstorm when it will come crashing down, taking the power lines with it and falling onto a house.
Nothing living lives forever. That maple tree had its wonderous life span but now it's come to an end.
The maple tree is so old that no one was talking about the wood for anything else but firewood and wood chips. Maple is a high quality wood much in demand for furniture.
@jeffyoung60 it's always saw to see an old tree come down. It's way more sad to hear about a tree thay crushed a house becaise it wasn't taken down when it should have been. It's hard to predict when the natural end of a trees life is, but we try to get as close as we can so it can be enjoyed for as long a s possible. There are actually different kinds of maple. This tree was silver maple and it's too soft to be good for very much. A lot of the maple that goes to furniture is rock maple or sugar maple. Believe me, if the wood had any value, we woukd have sold it 😅
So expertly executed, great work on an extremely dangerous job ! 👌🏻
@@lisaapps6890 thank you!

@@zaccheus I'm already obsessed 😁
I just found your channel and liked and subscribed.
Great video thank you for telling us the weights of the bigger parts of the tree.
Maybe next time you can get a total weight of the whole tree above the bad spot thank you.
Thanks so much for subscribing! I would have really liked to have known the total weight of the tree too. I'll have to ask the operator to keep track for me some time.
I'm not surprised the owner wanted to keep the wood. I've seen how much slabs of wood from old trees cost. Will offset the cost of the tree removal and then some.
@oh-totoro Maybe! Silver maple doesn't have much value around here as far as I know, but maybe he has a market!
Super smooth operation there guys 👍👍
