It’s good to watch a great team of men working.Thanks for the man that took the time to video this and share .👍👏👏👏👏

The guy in the red helmet sure knows how to hustle! And that tree was really challenging, as it had branches that forked a long ways from the trunk. Haven't seen many evergreen trees like that.

hI really like watching these videos over and over. I wish they stay on KZfaq forever😊 YERRY smooth camera opperator👍

This is the fifth time I've seen this video and it is just as exciting and interesting as it was the first time, I saw it. The way everyone works so well together is a tribute to them all and doing so in such close proximity to the homes and to the danger involved in such work, a high degree of expertise is to be expected of all team members. The guy working with the camera must be congratulated as well for giving us such an opportunity to see the complete operation from start to finish. BRAVO TO ALL

I respect the person taking the video for sticking it out in the rain. I wish that he had known more about tree work, as he cut away from the sawyer in the tree just when he was doing interesting things. But overall a good job creating a video worth watching. Surprised that the ground crew were not all wearing gloves. The guy in the tree was very experienced and knowledgeable, a good rigging man as well as a sawyer. The crew did an excellent job in tight conditions.

That one guy in the tree and their roping system is excellent. Didn’t realize their working in the rain also. Nice job considering conditions and glad I’m not them! Thanks for sharing

Good job on the take down. In 2003 we had 14 huge trees ( mostly oak, hickory and pine) hand cut from our 1 acre yard lot. Still had 15 more but they were smaller so we kept them. The house spacing was just like this vid. Then two months later hurricane Isabel came along, we lost two more of our trees and two of our neighbors’ ended up in our yard. But our house and the two houses on either side were spared. Many of the other houses in that area were cut in two by trees falling on them. We were proactive, so no one in our immediate vicinity had any damage. 😀

This is crazy high, I cannot believe someone goes all the way to the top. Impressive 👍👍👍

That is My son in the tree Geary. Thanks for taking this video.

Chain sawing and chain smoking, a classic combo. Supremely great video. Thanks for posting.

From a experienced forester and owner of a tree removal company the guy in the tree does know what hes doin & calling shots correctly to the ground crew but it was not needed for him to cut all limbs using rope system, as to the comment about the chipper operator, pine tree branches can be a huge pain for tree chipper machines (especially jack pine) one thing that would have made their job go super fast was if they hired a crane company to bring in a large crane for the job, cranes make simple work out of lowering large trees period, the tree is under 125 ft high, i can tell from counting segments (height of house is 25 ft to peak of roof x 5 segments in tree) most large cranes with the jib attached will go 125 ft and can be rented for $100.00 -$125.00 per hour, large 10 ft segments could have been lowered in whole sections and cut up on the ground. 3 guys for cut up crew and 1 in tree cutting and 1 for assist crane operator, tree down, blocked & chipped in 6 hrs, no need for excess cutting of tree limbs from rope line. Been their done that ( most cranes have 2 ton lifting capacity and limbs would not have been a problem, tree would have been down in one day. Also, lots of manual labor goin on, movin logs & blocks go super fast with front end loader - work smart not hard...

What a job. You guys are true professionals 👍

I was feeling that it should have been lowered more before dropping it to lighten the impact. I tend to lay out logs interlocking, starting at the base of the tree and extending toward the direction of the felling. That way the impact is dampened by the width; and I do several....the tree tends to hit closer to the base first and then whip with at the tip. The load is spread in several logs times their width. Props to the awesome climber...great techniques, amazing rope management, a lot of endurance, and great chainsaw skill. One thing: I always make sure I double check with the groundmen how many wraps on the porto-wrap....I ask:how many wraps do you have on that? And I ask them to adjust accordingly. That way its safer. I know what is coming down and I have more experience usually. Thanks for the video to the gentleman who recorded it. ☺🌲🌳

Sad, very sad to see a work of so many years of nature being decimated. But in return, I congratulate the team that made this work cohesive, tireless and very well executed. I especially congratulate the man who was on the tree doing the cuts, what courage. Congratulations!

Wow! This is amazing. The tree is huge the one in the tree is amazing. He is more than a professional. He is taken done the tree like David took down the giant. Blessings in his continues works.

Mr.Rogers narrates a tree removal.

I just started watching... 3 minutes in!! I'm looking forward to this one!

You are the hero of cutting the tall tree. You are excellent.

Be thankful for these people because they are spiritually your brothers and sisters and I am one of them spiritually sincerely Shannon

Felicito a los encargados del corte de ese enorme pino, con el espacio dentro de las dos casitas, me encanto ver como todo el grupo trabajaron muy unidos, en verdad un gran trabajo wuauuu,! Excelente trabajo, los estoy viendo desde Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Un abrazo a todos, soy Betty, La abuelita. Cumplo 88 ya prontito. Soy admiradora de toda Construccion.

Kinda funny when narrator/homeowner said a branch hit his roof (55:31) and then zoomed in on his roof where not a leaf had been touched and then zooms in on a twig on the roof and says, “right there” as though it was evidence. But rewind a bit and the twig is clearly visible on the roof before the guy even cut the branch! Ha. Guys did an admirable job. Climber is all guts and sure knows his way around ropes and trees. He took a wild ride when large limb let go and released all that pressure.

Who’s here after Peter Attia’s podcast? 👍

it is very interesting clip to watch, thanks for posting. By the way, may I ask how much it cost to remove such a big, tall tree...I have one need to be cut down too... thanks

Man you guys did such a great job on that tree and that chipper I love it so much it sounds really good If you do cut down another tree let me know in the future

Less Nessman reporting on a large pine tree removal!

Great team work...

Very high risk job ' may God Bless you ' guys!

Fantastic job..altho it had to go..I wish It could have been in the deep woods living out it's life..magnificent tree..♡♡♡

Great job n god bless you all for the excellent work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪💪💪💪

thank you for sharing!

Very PROFESSIONAL CREW.....

cant wait 2 start next "chapter" omg 'nd still nor even the half of this !!!...great work dude thanks 4 share this !!!...

I wonder what basement foundation & walls , (if have basements), look like with a BIG tree like that so close ?

The young man high up in the tree is very brave.... or a little crazy...lol Very professional and proficient

That’s a HUGE TREE. We have 2 similar in our back yard, that I pray never come tumbling down on their own.

Sad to see this beautiful tree had to go!

Good job !

Great job 👍

Wow, amazing job! Super scary

can't imagine just how far those roots spread🤔😬

Too bad there was so much traffic. It would have been nice to speedline. Good job on the tight location. Those can be tricky.

The video is missing the start showing how the rope got up to the top of the tree. Does someone have to climb up and take it to the top of is it thrown up in steps?

That tree was there LONG BEFORE that entire subdivision. None of the builders took it down. Probably didn't want to pay for the removal. Just kicked that can down the road.

The Dooley's from Michigan Thumbs Up

With it being such a massive tree and so close to both houses you should have had a big crane to lift the sections down safely. But even doing it with ropes I would have started taking the lowest limbs off first so that there was nothing under the limbs to hinder lowering them to the ground.

Great vids

good job on the video. I wished you had caught that loose branch hitting the ground. ....very dangerous job.

What did they charge for this work? Looks expensive.

which was the reason to cut the tree ?

1:22:51 They got lucky on that one. That's how people get seriously injured or die. So, was there too much weight for the rope or was the rope not being checked as it was being used?

$2,400 for that massive tree is unbelievable.

Plenty of firewood from that tree

Unfortunately it looks like the guy up the tree needs to be a bit more careful, as he's dropping a lot of off cuts right onto his grounds man. One widow maker landed just a foot or two from the guy removing another branch. Plus the guy operating the chipper at one point feed a large branch into it while it was wrapped around himself. It looked like a was their biggest/toughest/possibly overwhelming job to date. Hope they all look back on this video and refine safety protocols.

How did the rope or cable get up in the tree for the initial climb?

I would like to know which city and state is it !!

well Ryan my grandpa used to do it i don't know if he still is doing it but i am always think bout him because i love him but i have trouble speaking a bout it in front of him how can i tell him how i feel deep inside with out loosing myself should i not tell him and let it keep bothering me or shall i tell him please let me know because i have suffer for many years my chainsaw anxiety started when i was a little girl and it was almost Christmas time in Florida so mom and i went to a Christmas tree farm my mom and i picked out one but as we where done picking out one someone they had to cut it down a bit but after it was done i heard more chainsaws i cried telling mom get me out of here and that is what caused the anxiety to get really bad but i am still working on it

Good job guys!

Came across this a few weeks back. Been fighting insomnia. The white nose of the saw helps. Insert sawing logs joke here.

Peter Attia brought me here.

Did the home owners want to be in their houses?

15:06 this is where electric chainsaws are great- anything under 8in isn't worth starting a gas saw for. Get a 60v greenworks with a 5ah/300wh battery, replace 16in bar and skip tooth blade with a 10in bar and aggressive blade. You can do 120 8in limbs or 360 4in limbs- basically everything under 8in on that tree with one charge an 0 pulls on a cord.

Where city, state was this filmed?

Why are they in mufti tops rather than work tops because they might have more protection

นายเก่งมากๆเลยนะเพื่อนแดนไกล

What camera did you use to film this?

The property I live on was lined with pines 75 years ago so they are not welcome now. Too tall on the edge of a 10 foot drop into the small yard so they actually lean into the yard and the roof catches the needles. Would not buy the property now as remediation much more costly than prevention.

Insurance companies are very strict on overhanging limbs and trees too close to houses. If they fall and damage the house the insurance companies can refuse to pay if you have been warned previously about the hazard. Safer, and cheaper, to just have the trees trimmed or taken out altogether.

de cuantos milimetros es la cuerda para descolgar los troncos

They should of had a stachen area where one cut off the branches from the tree and lowered it to the ground a second one could have untied it and cut it to fit through the chipper a third could of dragged the cut off branches to the chipper A fourth one could of put the branches through the chipper

why he did not flush little stumps trip over theme

the guy running the chipper needs retrained hes gonna get himself hurt one of these days

The tree guy’s balls are so big, I can see them from 20 states away…

Well done mate how are u ok mate

How much did that big job cost you

Señores ¿Serán 150 feet (correct plural ¿no? Pancho Eguía

¿ El árbol mide 45 metros? Eso es una casa de 15 pisos. ¿No les parece exagerado? Pancho Eguía

WHAT DID IT COST ?

Smart Cats

@1:27:38 that looks epic and scary at the same time.

Some loads of chips in that fella.

where is part 2?

don't really understand why they decided to remove all tree!! if it's problem with branches recovering homes why not remove only these branches?

Who was the business that removed the tree?

Windy before they got cutting....need a GOOD roofing co....with insurance for being ON a roof, to monthly blow off roof, so pine straw will not stain the shingles, or accumulate and cause moisture leaks...for those who STILL have a pine near their home. NOT a landscaping company...with blowers.

And pray for your brothers and sisters sincerely Shannon

for two of these guys it's their first day on the job...they will have gloves on the next one

Even a small limb of Pine is VERY HEAVY. What a hard job

The ground crew needs to be trimmed down.. the tall guy in the yellow safety coat seems to be hanging out for a paycheck! He wanders around smoking his cigs, playing at knowing how to run a saw, and damn near getting himself killed at the chipper if not at least getting his ribs possibly broken! No WORK ethic! Back to school, he wants a desk job! For your insurance rates and your sake I hope you gave him his walking papers. Other than that. Magnificent job! I worked the ground crew (in my youth) , hornet nests, ground nests of yellow jackets under foot, fingers getting slapped at the chipper by the branches on days below zero, and sweat pouring into my eyes on days over 90 plus degrees... ahh memories!😊

all I can say is DAMMMMMMM

Why do homeowners allow trees this close to a house..they’ve got no understanding what the insurance company thinks or what the roots get up to..

WHERE IS THE VIEW OF HIM PUTTING THE ROPES IN THE TREE?

That is good

Tis place might have been somewhere in the Mid West or East Coast State USA1

Ewww, nice blue house. Nasty green door.

not an expert but wouldnt you cut from bottom to top so it clears way for limbs to go down to the ground jm2c

Why are you cutting down the tree? It's beautiful!

GRCS... you could have taken bigger pieces with the grcs and tag line

I wonder what they charged

how would you pay 4 guys for 3 days with only 2100$ ???? plus all your gear trucks insurance/gas etc...
