Must be pretty surreal still waking up every morning and owning a crane!

August, you'll be looking back and wondering how you ever managed without that beautiful crane. Stay safe bro.

It is such a joy to watch these video's : professional, smart and fun . Love it

Buildings, power/utility lines, propane tank. Crane job! No doubt about it! Or, a LOT of rigging! Without the crane I doubt that could have been done in one day. This video was awesome! Maybe it is a reaction to coming back after so many days without an August Hunicke Video fix! (Sounds like an addiction!) I loved the falling crane and sound effects near the beginning! You crack me up sometime, Brother!

Just found this channel I enjoy it...crane operator here and I do tons of trees around Lake Winnipesaukee...the manitex I use is a 30 ton 124wl rear mount...perfect for trees around here...no LMI though...pre tensioning without an LMI requires both the climber and op to know their trade well

7.15 ... I would have wet myself... Joe calmly puts a hand on the branch🤠😂

Having a crane on the job gets the climber the best tie-in points EVER!!!

Nice split screen. Nice meteorite. Oh....and nice crane!

Pick 6 swings out and swings back. Joe instinctively puts his hand out to stop it. I have done this too. To me it is similar to the old, fat guys in sandals and slacks in the chainsaw fail videos pushing at the stem they have been cutting to stop it from going the wrong way. Instinct tells us to reach out and apply force! Rational thought (and a little applied physics) tells us a climber in a tree is not going to have much effect on a 1,000 pound piece of oak swinging in from three feet out! Every time I do something like this I have competing thoughts: Dang! I hope no one saw that! (pride) and WOW! Thank you to whatever force, Spirit, Being, Influence, etc. kept me from getting hurt! (gratitude). Stay safe out there, my Brothers! I'm getting back to watching the rest of AH's videos in chronological order.

Y'all with a crane.... unstoppable! Thanks for all the education and making me think! Always enjoy y'all.

I always think of Tow Mater from the movie Cars whenever I see this thumbnail pop-up.🤓

"Charging Rhino - dead at your feet" .... that's what it looked like! ... with it's eye and massive stumpy horn. Great work. Cool chart and angle indicator on crane.

I love the mix of “Hollywood style” with some details thrown in. Great video August, always excited to see your work.

Micah 6.8, Love it. Often when watching your videos I pause and look up scriptures :)

Great crew, passionate and professional, great video as always

What hunicke video my weekend is now complete 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Nice work & great editing job August...the eyes on the truck windows was a nice touch:)

We love watching you use the crane.Smoth move, and your expertise is beyond compare. Keep those crane video's comming

Thanks for the video August 👍

I really like being able to get weights on picks from the crane's brain. So nice after the first pick

Awesome August !!

My buddies crane without the digital scale. Theyve been doing it for years and years. Glad to see you guys are getting the hang of the scale chart.

Great Job ... Nice work Joe in the tree ,,, August on the levers and the maths top job ,,,, Damian making great use of the rhino with each pick ,

Love the videos. Love the use of equipment all around.

Always on top !

Great video! Crane specialists at work

nice job.hard to live without a crane now that is a nice piece of equipment

Wonderful video. All safe, all happy. Best arb' channel out there. Always a highlight to find you have been at it again. Regards from Scotland.

Thanks for the vid. The perfect tree removal crew, owner and 2 employees. You probably have enough time and energy after the crane is parked to go and price a couple of jobs. Cheers bro.

I love cranes great job guys! Cut it deep

Awesome work guys great video

I wish I was doing what you guys do for a living. Love watching those crane picks!

Awesome work, smooth picks make for a great day! The green wood weight chart could help you feel more comfortable with your pick while the scale is down. I’m sure you’ve got one and it’s cool to show people

Good job Joe !!!!

My favorite video, so far, War Pigs

the green eyes were awesome add to the special effect !

Nice job samurai. Balancing the weight of the picks.. you too august for operating that big piece of machinery.

Spilberg Avgust! Wow!

Pick 8 was super smooth nice cut joe!

Excellent video like I said to Reg Coates these would make awesome TV documentaries Love the passion you put into it and thanks for letting us see it and sharing it Keep safe keep smiling love it ya legend 🌳🌲😮👍

As Blackstone Cherry say just blame it on the Boom Boom

Killer video

Smooooooth operator's🍀🤙🌲

Nice team work all around. I’m surprised joe doesn’t run a zigzag. I don’t think there is much that can touch it especially for crane work. Excited to see what 2019 brings for you guys, best of luck!

Hey august its Jim from the tree guys in mn. Great to see you a convert on how awesome lifting is whenever you can. Love the crane vids. Maybe even more interesting would be to show the rigging and decisions on placement of straps not just guys and slow swings. Keep it up.

Very well executed

Joe is a good hard Working guy !

The best rigging eh? Be Well MB crew, killer as usual!

Getting it now👍👍👍

🤣🤣🤣 August is the first ! 3rd... Greetings and Stay Save and buissy my Friend

God that looks like beautiful weather there. We still have 2 feet of snow on the ground, but it did get above freezing today yeah!!

Lyle the friendly crocodile eyes. So many targets missed, service drop, roof top and a propane storage tank. Adversity is no match for determination, the will and grit. Still keeping production on schedule in spite of set backs so let the graduation ceremonies begin and yes it's ok to grin like Lyle.

What I wanna see is a video where you focus on rigging those branches.

Like the African Funk, seemed appropriate with the scrubby oak, good job men!

Joe is on his A game in this vid! Nice job operating as well!! (Must have been the shirt)😁 A lot of picks make for a long day, almost hurts your brain a little at the end! 😆 Great overall coverage of the job! Well done boys!!💪💪

Hi great video

Nice

1st

Great video. Joe really looks so comfortable in the tree. That shnazzy harness must have something to do with it

I didn't put in a guess at the beginning. But at the 9th pick, I said it was good for 17.

Another great job by the MonkeyBeaver.com crew! Good stuff going on there August. Great point of view video shots everywhere. Well done, be safe! Randy

Nice conservative pics. Samurai Joe is cool as a cucumber sharing airspace with those swinging hulks!

Good video. And the hold up in getting the crane's meters working is?

I would have been a bit nervous when I saw how close the charging Rhino came to your Vermeer! Lol

Now you're picking the pickles fresh off the trees!👍

I sure wish I had a crane for the job I have to do. Dead elm. Leaning the wrong way. Nice work guys!

I would say 16 picks.

August Hunicke how many ton is the crane you use I see you take some healthy shots with it

The "display" is called an LMI if If I'm correct. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure

Hey August If you only had to choose between a crane or the Vermeer which would you take?

Great job, happy Sunday you guys have a great weekend

Yet another totally amazing video! What programs do you use for editing?

More light loads, instead of fewer heavy loads. My way of thinking. You'll never forget the load that was too heavy.

That's a lot of stick.

Crane day is a good day 🏗😎👍

Everyday is Crane day.

I hope someone gets to use that oak as fuel wood. It’s my favorite!

😎

August what is the specs on your kenworth... year,engine, and transmission ? And the make and model of the crane ? Is it a manitex ?

How long til u get the digital scale repaired or replaced?

was the crane really needed or for youtube entertainment (no judgement here)? behind the tree looks like the yard is huge, with plenty of space to piece the tree down with a lift.

Can I buy a handle like that for an 036 somewhere or did you have it made?

I say 9 picks. (and I don't peek.)

Mossey oak ha

Use caution with pulling loads away from the crane with the Vermeer 3:52. Did you notice the boom deflecting (bending) down (outwards) as he pushed the load? If you're close to capacity, the ground machine could pull you out of radius and into the news. Be careful of setting one end of a load on the ground and booming down and out of radius too. You probably know this but the weight of the block or ball must be included as part of the load. Loved the eyes.

Not gonna lie I'm pretty sure that pick you were curious about towards the beginning was maybe 1500lbs top....no where near your cap

Say how many of you lot have gotten a saw stuck inside a cut and needing another saw to free it? As an amateur, I have done it once.

Curious how the conversation went with the enforcer, when it got brought up.

First?

Please take this as constructive criticism Samurai Joe; stop varying the throttle when cutting those limbs & chunks up there & just cut thru the wood ASAP, especially with the computer not working. If August puts too much tension on the line pulling up cuz you're playin with the throttle instead of just cutting thru the wood the crane line could break, boom snap off, crane topple over etc.. OKar? & yeah I know what I'm talking about, I've done it for a living too. Not trying to be a jerk, just learn from it & keep up the good work. Take care & GOD Bless.

I'm not a videographer but, if you pay me very well and pay my family full medical & dental & vision & paid vacations. M-Th 9-2pm only. Let me know asap.

Anyone else noticed this guys attitude change after all of this new equipment? Unsubbing now after reading all the attitude from the comments
