I have rented man lifts here on the farm and have had a couple of occasions when the thing quit while I was 40 to 45 feet in the air and I was by myself with no one around. On both occasions I had to climb and slide down, very sketchy at best. Fortunately the boom was configured in such a way I was able to climb and slid down. At times climbing as sliding down isn't an option. Since then I always take a sit harness, repelling device and repelling rope up in the basket with me to have an escape route, if needed. I don't know what options you have to get down if this machine stops while you are up in the air. If you need to get down prior to letting the basket down in case of an emergency stop, you might consider taking some repelling gear up with you, if working alone with no one around. Really like the looks of your new man lift. Nick, North West Farmer

Working smarter not harder! That will make so many jobs easier!

Lifts are great. Excellent work

Another great tool is your line up. Take a look at bucket truck saw scabbards to rest your saw as you move your lift. 2 thumbs up

GREAT VIDEO!!! AWESOME!! LIFT!!!💯🌲💯🌲💯🌲💯👍🏻

Great move on your new lift Tim it’s whole lot safer for us older people!!!

I just got the same model and am very satisfied

Your moving up Tim, literally. When I do trees by myself like that I back my dump truck up to it and chuck it in. No helper needed and saves a ton of time. Best of luck with it 👍

New lift looks like a great addition. Have a Safe Day

That has to be the most quiet tree job. I love it.

My 55 33 a is 9 years old. Have an extra motor and hydrolic pump on hand, they are hard to get and they will go out.

Thanks for show and tell that's better than climbing

Very nice lift. !!!

Wow! Those cordless saws are a real game changer. It’s so much safer working from a basket. Climbing is a young man’s gig.

New Lift seems very stable at full stretch/reach. It's good to have your own gear as hire equip can cause delays and usually haven't been used with respect. Cheers from NZ.

Great job Tim, You have a sweet set up , no job too big or small now👍👌🙂

Fell that tree!

Nice new tool and makes short work of that tree

Perfect video. I was just thinking about that application... cutting a dead tree that isn't safe to climb. sure looks more comfortable than hanging on a rope. 👍

This is definitely the bee's knees Tim. 💪👍.

100 percent safer than climbing.👍👍👍 We have a outfit in Alaska that uses a lift with with a grapple saw. Glad you are using a lift.

Looks pretty sweet. You need to fab up a scabbard for your saws and something for a gas jug to keep all that stuff out from under your feet

The. Lifts are pretty sweet. I’m trying to buy one now. Middle of 24 is when it would come in if ordered today. So for the moment I’m stuck renting. Which means I’m struggling to use this dang JLG lift this week and paying through the nose to do so.

I just ordered a magnetic camera for the back when hooking up to the ball hitch. It will help from going in and out of the truck 6 times or more. They are a cool lift, I just smile every time I use mine.

Id say from ur entire arsenal, thats the best investment made..

I wish I could afford this lift I just have a small tree business and we rent everything from lifts to chippers and sometimes even mini skids with the grapple

Nice lift beats climbing my cousin has a tree service business he runs a Tuepan Lift with 92ft reach

Gas powered are the best I rented one I loved it I'm going to buy one.gas powered one txs

You are the biggest spider Killer has ever seen.

Good job!

Very nice job

Great work! Love the lift. It is superior to jlg & nifty in a number of ways. I don't think I have ever seen that brand here in East Texas but it is definitely a winner.

Very cool video tim. I like that lift alot man. Makes me wanna switch jobs because man it wouldn’t be hard for me to do that everyday 😂Thanks tim 🤙🏼

My surprise you haven't get a mini loader for job that you don't need the excavator for

Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸

That's how 98% of our Ash trees look like here in NE Penna. I have cut a few but it is so dangerous that I mostly let mother nature take them down.

That's an ash tree that the ash borer destroyed. Not a living one in my area unless it's in someone's yard and they treat it against the ash borer. With that lift I wanna come down and cut with ya lol 🇺🇲🇺🇲👊

All you need now is the new stihl msa300c coming to the states and you could’ve did that all with electric.

Guess you could have fell it but the content with the lift is fun

Great work Tim, yeah those lifts are the bomb dot com, thanks for sharing Tim! Hey what shoes were you wearing Tim, they look comfortable, have a great weekend 🌲💪🇺🇸

Our new one arrived. We’ve used it about 5 times. Check out the klein tool bags. We have them mounted on the basket. Definitely nit to have places for your tools.

Subscribed, so catching up on your videos. Tree looks like a Hackberry. I'm removing several of them from my property now. The bark is shedding exactly like your tree. Keep kickin the videos out!

Think safety. Get a harness for when you are in the lift.

Love your content awesome what your doing was thinking you need a tracked trailer mover instead of moving with your truck Amazon 5000

Boa noite muito ótimo serviço meu amigo

Please get yourself a good quality harness. I know they’re not all that comfortable but a guy I know it’s been a long time now but got catapulted out of one of those things because he didn’t have a harness on. When he cut the tree branch a little breeze came through and slightly changed the direction that branch was falling one of the smaller branches on that bigger branch hook the edge of the basket the way to the branch pulled the basket down like a catapult and shot him up through the air out of the basket and kill him. I love watching your content on this channel it’s always been good content and you seem like really nice people and it would be awful to hear that something tragic like that happened to you

Looks like great addition to your business. Great with a sketchy tree like that. What's your estimated pay back time for the lift?

Did you do a video with all your tools in it?

You put stabilizer pads on the street, hard surface, but not on the soft ground in the yard?

I wish you would get some cheap help. I hate seeing people do tree work alone I always try to have someone with me even if it's just to stand there and watch. It just makes me feel better.

Does this have a joystick to plug into the basket control? Seems like it would be more efficient even if it only had some of the basic movements

How many hours will a battery last in your saw

Mr. Tim not trying to rush a man, just a question. I see your travel lights are mounted to the bottom of the basket. Are they sturdy? What is your opinion on where they are mounted? Do you think they will survive a hit? Should the manufacturer look at a cage upgrade? How hard are they to replace if they take a hit? Again I know it's a new investment and not trying to be a hound dog. Me personally I would knock them around first time I used it. Thank you for your great videos!

That’ll definitely walk the dog kick the cat come on back

Job performed mostly electric. As an arborist I get a lot of positive compliments for running battery saws. I would suspect using an electric lift and saws would have a lot more people say, "I want that guy to do my trees". Great video

i think personally i would prefer a lift with switches and joy stick and not buttons.

One suggestion how about putting a gopro on your truck facing the lift and tree you are cutting. Be interesting to see how far out from the base of the lift you are going. Makes me want one.

Hat is the lifts name going to be

Wondering why you didn't just leave your truck hooked up...?

What type of Saw is that and what’s the brand name could really use this

Why are you using Stihl now? I was lucky enough to have my Stihl saws stolen and during the pandemic couldn’t get the Husky’s I wanted.
