Jan Polley that's hilarious

Very true, you need to work on your cutting positioning. You have been there before and the same thing almost happened again. That is one of points I talk over and over with the new employees. Good job man, learn from your old videos , it’s really hard to see someone getting hurt when you can prevent it

towards your buddy, not your body. that's what I have always herd.

To The Top Crane I've always wanted to hang from a 220t crane ball doing tree work reached out over a house from the street into the back yard.

David Moore, I could make that happen. The crane on my channel has a max tip height of 330 feet.

To The Top Crane omg please swing me around I'd love it!

David Moore, you'd have to be in Missouri. Travel time is expensive with the crane. It's not exactly fast or fuel efficient. Lol

To The Top Crane guess u will have to let me come down then

Taylor Shay experiment with different cuts in a clear wide open drop zone. That's how I learned. I normally do a single upwards cut from the bottom of the branch unless it's over 8 in and do a staggered top cut so it can snap of and fall flat. 80% of the time

Just Google on treeworker and nods

But it's very much personal preference

The main one usually used is a Conventional notch (45 degrees down and then a bottom cut around 90 degrees), this notch is basically all you need but he also might use a V Notch (45 up, and 45 down) to get better direction of fall, and if hes cutting a dead tree he'll prbly use a Humboldt (45 degrees up and finishing cut 90 degrees)

I dont understand why he notches the lateral limbs ,makes bo sence to me and wastes time and fuel period . I've done them both ways and the notch makes no difference, unless you are side notching one to swing it to one side or the other . It is used to give the tree or limb room to travel as it falls and the hinge is used to guide the tree in its fall ,but lateral limbs that can be dropped straight down have no need for a notch . Just saying

Thanks, couldn't wait to get back to it, I love it =)

Daniel Birkholz would be an awesome video tho

Thanks =)

Calvin Wilhite Jesus man, update ur technology it's freaking 2018 brother, there's so much great gear out there now. Sure the shit ain't cheap but the speed and efficiency it brings and the simplistic useability makes a word of difference on ur body all day. I watch the old guys and there 1900s tech and struggle all day and beat themselfs up all day for no reason. While I'm hanging there with my Gatorade bottle holder on my harness and while my boysen chair is flipped under my ass and I'm chilling taking in the beauty of the tree and veiws and laughing at dumb ground guys and the guy over there beating his self all day. Chilling, no pressure on my feet and my weight is off my harness so it ain't squeezing me. I love my 200$ boysen chair, so nice.

Yeah, swinging limbs like that often has them come back though, so I just plan ahead and make sure I've room to gtfo!

Human yeah man those limbs can always be sketchy... but it can ALWAYS be avoided... put a tag line as far out on the limb as you can and get ground guy to pull it the way you want it too go..thats the best and safest way to do... only takes a few minutes to tie on another rope... just imagine if that limb came on the other side bro... itd be on top of your rope and would be pulling back on you... all that force of that limb swinging back... could kill us or if were lucky just break our back...just notching a limb to go a certain way doesnt ALWAYS work depending on type of wood and gravity, lean, etc... i just put a rope on it unless the limb has a hard lean on it... i had a limb come on me one time like it almost did you and trust me bro that shit hurt like a bitch cause all of the weigh was getti held back by ur lanyard so its pressure on ur back... luckily it was a small limb.. but yeah bro use a pull rope

but yeah bro just start putting a rope as far out as you can where ur comfortable so the ground guys can pull it the way u want to go... u dont gotta go allllllll the way to the tips... but atleast 65% out... 2/3.. same with pullin a tree over rope needs to be atleast 2/3 of way up

Daniel Lunsford I love rigging, from rope access on steel beams to tree work cause it's such a dynamic world, it's living and breathing and always different, no 2 trees r the same, rigging on steel beams u know everything is bomb proof and it's mostly semtrical, a tree is so wild and different yet so damn strong. Pine trees r about the only trees I'd say are pretty much identical, they r freaking natural growing ladders.

Oliver Bolton the lawncare man same

Thanks =)

Michael Lochner you can learn

Its awesome

It hurts with a broken leg though.

Yep =) thinking I might like it more than the zig zag

Thanks =)

Don't do how to videos, not at all qualified or experienced enough
