As an arborist in training, this sort of stuff makes me cringe a little 🤣 don't get hurt! Ladders and trees rarely mix😬

Glad to see everyone is involved & doing well, Big Daddy walks up that steep grade to his house like it isn’t even there 👍🏻 ! Great VIDJA !❤️🏴‍☠️🎥💯%👌🚜🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🌎😎

Shake Hands with Danger guitar riff was running through my head as I watched this video. "I'm not gonna become another ladder statistic." Crawls on top of the bucket instead

Man, I'm sitting here recovering from a fall from a 10' ladder so watching you on that ladder brings back memories, at least what I can remember, and makes me real nervous. Sitting here with staples in my head and fractures in my back hoping that the pain will eventually go away so I can do the work that I enjoy doing, has given me a new perspective. Go to the extra work, take that extra step or take the time and trouble to get the right tools to do the job right and as safe as possible. It just takes that one little slip or wrong move on that one job where, like 100 times before, you told yourself you're experienced and know you what you're doing, it's just a quick cut or climb, I'll be fine... and next thing you know, you'll be sitting here just like me.

Good job Wade and the Boys, yeah that looked sketchy there for a moment, but You got her done, fair play👌👍🙏🙂

Just absolutely awesome thanks for sharing!!

Wade very entertaining video, your boys are a lot of help! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

I'm a big-time fan of bib overalls. They're warm when it's cold, and cool when it's hot, and always comfortable.

Those kids look great! Kudos to you n mommie!

Fun times with boys, Priceless Memories in the making🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

Them babies are doing great! Lmao !👉👌 Keep up the great work 👍

Remember boys, "do as I say, not as I do". Great video as always

When you have everything to make the job done good and you end up with a tractor pushing a not cut up tree and digging huge holes in the lawn... That little excavator, that awesome chainsaw (need to tune it), ladder and a rope is enough, but... Nice kids! It's great that they can drive at their age so they probably have interest in things! 👍

I think you did a great job, and did your boys proud!And what's the best is you saved a couple thousand dollars and taught all of us to do what God put us here to do!

Gosh that was one big old tree ready to fall sometime in the near future. Glad all was safe.

Lucky man, your boys really love you and worry about you.😲

looks like a good day with your boys well done

Just watched your clear cut video. It was a great example of what happened here on my farm. I selective cut for many years, cuz I wanted shade for my cow/calf pairs, but the trees got so big that everytime the wind blew, I had to cut trees off and fix fence, so I clear cut it……the cows don’t cluster under that grove anymore, but they’ve found a different, smaller grove to get shade…..trees grow back…….it takes longer here in Minnesota, but they grow big here too!

You definitely have a beautiful place there over looking the river

So ya they make stuff that you wrap around a tree and pull with!! Hahaha Logger Wade your video's are pretty cool and having youre boys involved is awesome youre a good dad. We'll see ya buddy take care.

You need lessons on burn pile size from LETSDIG18 ,, yours is a little small yet ,,, Just saying ,,, chuckles... Have a great day bud

Gawd i love watching your stuff Wade.. You are as madder than the march hare but absolutely brilliant.

Some times nothing goes right ,but no one was hurt. Thanks God bless.

Greetings from Central NH Lakes Region - Tater, it always seems like Roger is cleaning up after you!😁

At least you didn’t stand on the branch you were cutting. 😂😂

On board with that tree being a piece of crap!! Till that tree got on Tiny you really can’t tell how big that sucker is!! Good thing you didn’t slip off for sure, love it when you started climbing up and rear wheels digging in 🥴💪💪👍🇺🇸

I'm sure you missed your everyday equipment but still got it done. Stay safe

Wade the Cut from the rotten Oak Spitz, the Tree will not in little Piece to fall, then give You him great Power 😂!!! Make You with the old Christmastree this Year the Solstice fire 🔥 over the River?

WOW !! What a Great Veiw of the "Big Kric" You have !!

Nice work, beautiful home place!

That was some real dangerous Brian stuff right there, hugely entertaining though.

Got It and no one got hurt 👍have a good one.

Love ya buddy

Hey Wade !! ""CONGRATS" on NOT getting hurt on that ""FINGER PINCHER "" Ladder you carry around !! HAHA 🙃😄😃 Nice work on getting rid of the tree as NOW for a ""FLOWER BED "" there ??? Got a couple of places for you to check out on ""Google"" for some Family ""FUN"" this Fall !! The 1st is ""Train Mountain Railroad in Chiliquin , OR. & The 2nd is "Cass Mountain State Park in Cass, WV . !! Think the boys & Family would enjoy seeing these places !!! Have a good week & have ""FUN"" with the Mill issue & Computers !! 🤔🤔🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍

Wade, can you show us how the Rod and Piston works again? Just asking for a friend. Brouhaha ha John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

All the best viral vidjas start out with grabbing a ladder and a saw!😮😮 That was one Big Ole Tree...Gonna take awhile to burn this stump out. Can you show us again how the rod and piston works?!?!🤣🤣

Great video Wade

firewood lol

I'm a little behind on your videos, glad you didn't get hurt. Just a bit of advice, put that excavator blade down it will get you a few more feet of reach in a pinch

I usually dig out 3 sides around the stump...then push 'em over.....that way you not only get your tree laid down, but you also have the stump out too. That was a very dangerous situation right there. Glad no one got hurt.

Wade watching this reminds of a video I watched a long time ago and it was titled "Why do women live longer than men?". I'm pretty sure your video of cutting down that oak would fit right in.🤔😏😂 Oh well, at least you had the boys stay far away and you caught on video 👍👍. Plus nobody got hurt 😉😏

I am gonna tell you right now, bib overalls are probably the only thing I will ever use when it comes to working in the field. Comfort and storage of odd items are a necessity and I ain't found a better bit of clothing to compare. And it hides my gut somewhat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video 👍 👍

Thanks Wade, watching this convinced me to abandon my half-fast plan for the big, 1/2 dead Live-oak tree close to my well-house. May have to use the work harder version, that "smarter idea" ain't as smart on second thought as it might have seemed.

What was that about the piston ? I missed it.🤣😂🤣 the look on your face when you realized what you were doing. 🤣😂🤣

Real tree men don't use ladders, but, it was a real cartoon show. nice job anyway wade.

Get ya a pair of key overalls fit is good an they wear well 👍😎

yhe smaller machines are great in thier own place ,sometimes you have to bring in the big boy toys.

We had a sugar maple in our front yard at The Farmhouse and it was our backstop for playing baseball and it was home plate and when they sold the farm years later people finally cut it down because it had died as I built three houses in it and drove Nails in it and Staples and fencing Staples I mean and hit it with the back several times if I got struck out and I was a kid with that maple tree and I really loved it and it was really kind of a bummer to see it cut down and gone when I went back there. It was the biggest maple tree you can have it was huge and always turn red and orange in the fall is so beautiful and we made maple syrup out of it and everything when we were younger and I missed the farm Days by really miss that maple tree so this is kind of reminiscing back for me

Bibs frickin ROCK

Think I saw @regcoates do something like this once🤣👍. Stay safe gettin it done driver.

That 'ol dead tree was like "I been standing here a couple hundred years.......you young'ns ain't taken me down without a struggle".........good job ya'll.

Awesome video brother as always

I love it.

Wade you need a rotobec grapple on your 308 the same kind of grapple that you have on your 321 then that way you can guide trees to where you want them to fall besides that tree is a little to much for that little 308 you need the 321

Nice job even if it didnt go perfect !

I just love it when a plan comes together……. But for some reason or another my plans seem to break like a dozen eggs and a watermelon falling from the balcony of a 12 story building 🥲🤣😂🤣

Great job mr wade

Good job👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

I held my breath. I thank the Lord you’re okay. Love the channel. I have great respect for you

thanks for sharing

Thought that was DP in the excavator. Was scared you were going to try to take the excavator up the ladder to get more leverage to push the limb off the tree. You know all that utilities you were worried about can be replaced or fixed. why didn’t you run a cable up high and pull it instead of trying to push? Wade that’s a beautiful place you have on top of the little hill, except for DP living so close. Enjoyed watching, stay safe

I crack myself up. It seems you have the same gift.

That big limb overhanging the propane tank...next time, throw a 1" line over the far end of that limb and pull it off the tree. You'll be using the leverage of the limb itself against the trunk, and it will snap right off. It's always better to pull than push.

I can't wait for the day to come when Roger bends you over his knee and woops you lol love it wade glad the tree didn't go towards the house.

You know that be the dammest yard rake I ever seen! But that was a nice clean up tool to have sure saves the back!!! An that’s the sad part of monster red oaks 30% are hollow as a base drum 😩 … but dropping dead trees are a crap shoot at best but she is down .. an I am thinking that old stump?? about a year of camp fires in it should have it root level🤣🤣🤣

I like bibs.

Wrong way Roggy 🤣😂🤣

Good Video. Looks like the Ohio River in back ground

Lol a good chain tied to limb an pulling it away from tank

Big Deal 18 is rolling on the floor!

Rock on

Looks like you have plenty of clearance from damaging anything. You know, you can cut the limbs off after the tree is on the ground.

Youse a walking OHSA violation thar boy! 😂

Mack shore your rode is straight no one like a curvy shaft

The Tree did not fall on you or the equipment. You can fix the yard. It is all good.

Nice yard mess! Should have waited until August when the ground is dry.

Wait I know there's not a lot of good wood left in that but I hope you make something out of it you can get some boards out of it I hope and maybe make a small bookshelf with the kids or something I think it'd be really cool you got to make something out of that tree

It'd be sad if you can't get at least a little bit of lumber out of it to make momma a nice table from wood that grew on your Homestead. Red Oak sure is pretty wood.hase some crotch markings and other features in the grain. It also makes furniture sturdy enough to survive a couple of rambunctious boys. Especially if it

Hey wade be careful bud I had a small poplar get me sat. Still in the hospital got a couple fractures concussion etc.

Another way you could of gotten to it down was to tye a climbing rope to It and pulled it down with Chevy or the 308

let the spirits guide ya if ya listen to yalls own thoughts from the trip to the house and back lol one of ya talking about not starting with a ladder the other thinking the machine to small lol those thoughts i always believe are those watching over you not just a random thought

My fat ass had to start wearing bed bibs about 4 years ago I've learned to love them LOL

I meant leverage I meant but job well done nothing like fun with children

Put those boys to work 😊

How old was them boys at the time of this video was made. They do great with the skitter and other things they been driving.

Just what I need done, now I know what I'm up against

You got the boss telling You how to do the job

If sneeze power could be harnessed then it would have been a 3 minute video :)

What happened to the old days of a cable in the tree and pull with the winch.....hey a win is a win even if they ain't perfect sometimes..lol

I am thankful you were "reasonably" safe on that one, Wade. That is some beautiful land!

Damn that’s dangerous man

your right, sketchy dude, an adult in the room wouldn't have hurt, lol

Not to be critical, but, holy cow you sure have a lot of equipment for that job. I have cut down a lot of tricky trees, just as big, using only (a lot smaller) chainsaw, a (taller) ladder, a cable, and a cheap manual cable hoist (2 ton). And maybe a straight bar to move really big heavy piece around manually on the ground. Burned the trees up on the spot if I could. And I do the job alone (1 man). Probably in less time than you were working on it with all your manpower and resources. If I did not burn on the spot I would load on a trailer pulled by a pickup. I would split the bigger pieces by hand with a steel wedge and a 12 pound sledge hammer. Hard work but f'ing around with all that machinery is also a lot of time, effort AND fuel.

😱🤦 Limb is over the gas ... aww who needs gas anyway 🥺 I hope I didn't hit fuzzzzz sssssssssszzzz fuszzzzzz buzzzzzz zipp. Dad the internet just went out North of the river all the way to town. 😮😲😱

You might not destroy anything in the woods but you definitely destroy a yard. Lol. I took a tree out that was split from the roots to about 30 ft up in the tree and didn't mess the grass up that bad.

Nobody is bleeding, everyone still has all their fingers and toes... Where I come from, I call that a win.

You should have used the triple hinge lol

Dang if it didn’t work out in the end. Way to go tater
