That Tree Surgeon must have nerves of steel.Great Video.

Please don't cut it in half!!! We raise one end of the log, raise the dump trailer all the way up, once the front of the log is over over the trailer lip, lower the trailer until it's angle is close to the log angle, then back up the trailer and/or push the log in. Once more of the log is within the trailer box, you're home free...

Oh my goodness, that's a beautiful Airbnb!!! I'd get there & never leave!! I bet everyone who rents it extends their stay. Thanks for sharing. Adam's mom, great home your precious Mom lived in! Wow! Great video, Adam! Those tree guys are incredible! God bless y'all! 🥰🙏🥰👍

What a professional outfit. They looked like they did a bang up job.

If you can get your dump trailer over by the log (looks like you can), then lift one end of the log and place it on the dump trailer. You then have 2 options. either push it in with the mini (if it can lift the one end up), or winch it in from your truck side. You'll have to mount the winch to the tongue of your trailer (temporarily with U bolts), and put something on the leading edge of your trailer to protect the cable (roller, or board) and then winch it into the trailer. Nice piece of wood, and it would be a shame to cut it in half to load it up.

I was glad to learn about that ratchet strap technique.

Your Parents have a beautiful home.

Thanks …you know we love this stuff !

Awesome, gut wrenching video. Thanks.

big job!

Man that guy in that tree must be a daredevil in another life.

Back the trailer up to the log and rope the log end. Take the rope to the front of your trailer where you’ll mount a pulley to an hold down. Pass the rope through the pulley and tie it to a tree behind the trailer. Use a sheet a plywood to ramp into your dump trailer as needed. Slowly pull the truck away and the log will load itself into the trailer. Stay clear of the rope and place a rug or heavy mat across it just in case it breaks.

Nice usage of the tree. Don't cut that butt log but if you can back you trailer to it and are able to tilt your trailer then lift the end and winch it on, and lower the trailer while winching you should be able to get it on the trailer. Stay safe.

First time I have seen some cut firewood in Hey Dude's shoes!

Pick up one end, raise the dump to match the angle, use a snatch block with a cable tied back to a tree,add a roller log under the middle, pull forward and it will drag up in the trailer. Good luck!

Build a log arch for the back of your trailer. You move enough logs to make it worth it. Matt Cremona built one, as well as April Wilkerson and several others. Basically is an arch that hinges off the back and with a winch on the trailer, it will lift and load logs. Could easily be built to either unbolt completely or just be left on top when dealing with dirt or other material in the dump trailer so it wont limit the uses

Hey, we just used Copeland’s tree service last week on Conneaut lake! Great crew. Massive oak they took down. Even used a crane to assist. Very impressive stuff

Wow, that was a big tree. Never saw a tree get cut down like that. Impressive.

hi there tree guys were real good . nice place best to all , have to give it a count john

You should make a sign for the Air B&B from one of the pieces of wood from that tree.

Unlike you to end a video like that. On the huge log, get a winch attached to your dump trailer and winch it on. Use levers and roller logs to move it to the trailer. Use levers and blocks to get it high enough to push the trailer under as far as possible and winch the rest of the way on. A winch will be handy. With Doug's help you could make it a 2" receiver style removable winch. Weld or bolt to front floor of trailer. Harbor Freight has it all, 12k winch, boltable receiver and removable receiver winch plate. With trailer in full dump height you might be able to add some lift while pulling it straight on.

Hello Adam, The tree guy's did a great job looks like very experienced crew. Some good tricks they used in there rigging to bring it down safely. Hope you get the big log out in 1 peice..

Hey Adam, thanks for the video, loved the drone footage! What a nice monster oak. If you want to add another tool to the collection you could split it down the middle with a chainsaw mill. Pros/Cons. The Pros would be that would allow you to work with smaller pieces but still have the full length, chainsaw mills are portable. The con is that you need another tool (if you don't have it already) for the guide, and a big enough saw head with a long enough bar to fit all the way through. You also need a straightedge like a ladder. Chainsaw milling is lot of work too, a lot more physical and lot slower than the bandsaw. All depends on the size logs you want to go after.

Mill one new deck railing out of that white oak log 😆

You can cut the log in half lengthwise

If backing the trailer up to it is not doable then noddle the log in halve and load, will still work just fine on the mill.

Was watching a Heli-logging show. When they needed to lighten a log for moving by helicopter, they would cut it lengthwise so at least it was still the same length. Depending on how you will use it, it may be an option.

It's unfortunate that such a big beautiful tree had to be cut down. But I'm glad to know that the wood is going to be used for something good.

Nice removal job Adam, I’m sure you and Doug can figure out some way to leverage that log into the Trailer. I totally agree that you have a Picture Perfect piece of Land there, taking down that tree might have also opened up the view from the deck. 😊😊😊

That Husqvarna looked like it was cutting much faster than the Stihl.

Well executed removal and well executed video. Superb.

That is a great job of taking down the tree. I am sure that was not cheap because the extra equipment did not cause damage to the property. The chunky cookies would be nice planter base stands as well for the patio/ porch. Nice video.

If your tractor can lift one end of the log I would lift the end and if you can get to it back the dump trailer as far under as possible set it down then lift the other end and push it in. Might work I've done things like that hundreds of times and worked quite well. Just a thought. You might even tilt the bed a little and as you start to push it in start lowering the bed and that may also help.

Come on Adam can’t you and neighbor Doug come up with a great plan,that’s what so awesome about watching you guys. Hopefully you won’t cut it in half.

Don't cut it in half. Use your dump trailer partially raised. Roll back and forth with a peavey and come cribbing to elevate one end, then a snatch block and winch to pull it into the trailer.

I like

When you go back out you should take them out a full dump Carol load a mixed hardwood and then take the oak back home for heating wood and may be. I wonder if neighbor Doug would take his kids. Dear out, you might have to cut that big log back to an even 10 foot 3 or something that you have a 10 foot piece to mill. But if he took your skid, steer out his skid stairs.She'll get it on your trailer and then you'll get one more additional piece of firewood out of it

Makes me want to plan some white oak trees now! All I have in my area is Red Oak and it is not any pretty as that looks!!! We did fell an ashe tree 2 years ago but by the time I had time, my brother had a coworker come and take the WHOLE tree less one limb. I was sad! What are your thoughts on using the 11' trunk log for? I know you have a mill and its not mobile but do you have an Alaskan mill? you could square it, slab it, third it into slabs to then use one of your pieces of machinery to pick it up. it would be a shame to cut that 11' in half since your could make some nice book matched tables. But the real question I have is... what are your plans for the log? I would say that what ever you want to do with them, you could use the different methods I mentioned above to help reduce the weight to allow your equipment to move them. Or get the earth work guy to come out with a big A excavator and drop it in your dump bed!!! Once it is home, you can process as you see fit.

I would use a winch and back trailer up to it. ;)

Unreal, thats some skill right there. Could you dump your trailer a third of the way or so and winch it in? Or chainfall….nm someone already said that.

Should have saved the tree. Great shade and beautiful.

Could you back the trailer up to that big log and winch it in?

I would much rather have the tree than the deck. Decks can be modified in a few days. Trees like that take decades... It was a very entertaining video to watch and I am sure wasn't an easy decision to make.

You guys did a superb job removing that white oak! It’s too bad you couldn’t move the saw mill up to the B&B. We’ll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

eye protection!

the pro`s make look so easy

Beautiful place.

Hometown Acres, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

Great video Adam. Looks like you have a lot of Saw logs, firewood and wood for your plaques. Anyway, stay safe healthy and dry. Bill H from Cranberry Township

Hey Adam, just saw your new custom chainsaw bar. Outstanding! 😍

Taking big cuts from the tree seems to be a skilled arborist thing not an east coast thing. Great video

Truck Roll Back. How far do you live from the lake house? Surely wouldn't be to expensive to have it hauled home. I had a storage building moved 22 miles on a Roll Back and it cost me $50.00. If you don't want to spend the coin buck it up for firewood. Man I loved burning white oak in the woodstove.

You Could call Matthew Cremona he is a you tube wood worker he has a trailer designed to pick up that log

Split the firewood...

Use the hydraulics of the trailer to lift it into the trailer. Chains & dunnage.

Somehow I find it interesting to watch trees cut down in this way

Soooo, Doug added the music……??? 🤔

Great seeing you again at Joe’s. Maybe hire a roll back to get the full log to your mill.Beautiful Place! Cool Drone work!👏👍🏼🪵🇺🇸

Any chance you can winch that big log up into the dump trailer? Set it at a low angle, lift one end up to get it on, then winch it in.

Use geometry and physics. There's even a YT channel where a guy goes through figuring out how to calculate force multiplying with block & tackle rigging to exert greater force by using more runs of rope at appropriate angles to pull out larger and larger tree stumps with the same small tractor. If your excavator can pick up half then your raised trailer bed angle, plus a decent winch should get you the rest of the way with enough rope and geometry. Play safe.

Would your log skid trailer be able to move it? Probably not safe for on-road though

That is how real men take a tree down don’t need a million dollar truck grapple

That Guy has a set and anybody else that does that, cool to watch but not for me I'm the ground guy

Do you have a buddy with a tilt bed wrecker?

❤😊

no eye protection is crazy especially with him having the bright orange chaps

Sadly to see the tree come down But totally understandable They did a fantastic job bringing it down

Alot of thought comments on loading (getting it home) can you handle it at the mill?

I like your marker , could you post a link on where you got it ?

You do what you have to geet it loaded you still need to be able to lift it onto the sawmill.

Can you saw the log in place? If its too far for your sawmill I bet you know someone who has a more mobile one...

Hi Adam, how much did the Tree Service charge for taking that tree down?

you could of very easily put that on the trailer with the machine they had .. pick one end up back up under it and then push it on. i do it all the time. 3rd. gen tree guy here. please dont cut the log.

It is time for a new F350 dually to pull the trailer.

Why not bring the sawmill to the log?

14:40 *PLEASE DON'T CUT IT IN HALF into 2x5.5 ft chunks* Instead, One ought to consider cutting it in half *ALONG the length into 2 x 16.5-inch thick half logs. MY $0.02. :)

Adam fore shame, you have on safety gear like chaps and hearing protection, BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR EYES!

Stump , chainsaw carved into a stump/chair

You didnt call Jake for this job?!

The saddest thing to see is to watch a tree being cut down.

How dumb...move the deck

I dont enjoy the upbeat music unfortunately.

On a lake the front is the side that faces the lake. I live on a lake and the front of my house faces the lake.

Sorry, I could without the music

ok the music is annoying. What happened to the more down home stuff you played in the past?

Ruined the video with that annoying music

Nicel lot of free logs saw logs and fire 🪵😊
