I was the lead groundsman for a tree removal service for 4 yrs. and he was the best I'd ever seen. This crew did an excellent job, no doubt. All you Monday morning quarter backs should give this a shot before you criticize. If you can do better?! Then you can talk. Just my opinion.

im an arborist. this was a job well done. i think most people dont realise how dangerous tree work is. this lad done an excellent job, knew what he was doing and bossed it.

I did a little tree removal with GA Power many years ago. I here to tell you men you did a great job. It was unfortunate that the water line was there, but, things happen sometimes that you have no control over. You worked great as a team. Also, the man in the hooks ,my hat us of to him. Never had to climb that high. We didn't have the climbing ropes either. Again, great ,safe job!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Am amazed at the skill and bravery you displayed for doing your job. May your tribe multiply. Good work.

This is solid work done on a complicated job by a good crew and a ballsy climber. It's a shame there's so many critics out there that in reality have probably never done a tree job close to this one. Think before you comment. I love what I do and I would loved to have been a part of this project.

My husband and I watched a lot of your video and your workers did an EXCELLENT job! Do NOT listen to the critics! Truly great work on a very challenging task!

My father does this for a living and rarely we see people who are knowledgeable to do this type of job, well done guys!!!

This job is no less than a soldier job. They are so skilled and precise and trained, confident. Simply amazing job. I salute them.

WOW... People on here are extremely critical of this crew considering the complexity of this job. I don't fall trees for a living but I would imagine there are 10,001 ways things can go side-ways on a job like this. I thought this crew did a hell of a job and was EXTREMELY professional and safe! Falling a tree of this size (with one house 3 feet from the tree and the other 10 feet from it) seems as difficult as it gets. For a tick over $2,000 you got an absolute bargain. (In my opinion) I would hire these boys any day of the week! Well done! I hope you tipped them well.

I just now became a subscriber. Boy let me tell u. U'll had me worried 1/2 to death. Thank our good LORD JESUS u'r all safe. A very dangerous job. Loved n enjoyed the ride. U guys got some heavy-duty guts. I'm a 73 year old lady n can tell u guys I was very anxious 😟😰🙃 to see the final results. Oooh. Gbu again n again.. keep u safe. My respects for u young ones. Love from TEXAS.

These guys are amazing, especially the topper. I was a lineman in the Air Force as well as for the phone company for about 8 years, The highest I was up with gaffs was 45 feet and that was spooky. Takes guts to go as high as that guy in the video.

This man is very talented at his job, and his crew knows exactly what to do, their lives depend on one another, great job guys,, I watched my brothers 5 of them do this for years,, it was nerve racking, plus my sister who was the oldest had to b right in there with the action,, glad I was little or I'd of been in there helping them too!!! No I don't think so!!!

I can't believe how close to the house that tree is. That is one humongous pine tree. I'm getting the chills just watching this.

Watching this in Australia it's 4.00 am. My hearts in my mouth watching the climber, much respect! I love watching people who know what they're doing. Stay safe.

I have increased respect for these men who do this work. When I watched that man climb up that very tall absolutely straight pine tree, I couldn’t have been more surprised if someone had of given me a winning lottery ticket. I grew up in Washington state and I’ve seen logging trucks all of my life but I had no idea how complex tree felling is. Thank you very much for such a very interesting and informative TopBuzz video. Take care, Kate, theflutterby🦋, from Seattle!🌲

So nice to see experts at work..Professional men making a dangerous job look easy... Top class !!!

I worked for my uncle as a ground man many times when he took down bigger trees than the one in this video. Steady slow and safe is the name of the game. Fast is slow and slow is fast was the first thing he taught me and I asked him what it meant. He pulled off his shirt and I saw multiple scars from as he put it young dum and unwilling to listen to anyone one day older than him. His first job taking down a large weeping willow a large branch dumped him and the branch from near 80 feet, when he opened his eyes he was told don't move then saw the branch some 6 inches in diameter sticking out of the right side of his chest. The doctors were shocked when they removed the branch and found no major damage. He went home 5 days later and Monday was back to finish the job, he told me that he listened to older people that had been doing tree work and hired an old logger who had one leg removed from a falling accident who couldn't climb anymore but told him what to do and how to take down a tree without killing or hurting yourself or someone else. I had a few chips and bruises but never a major injury. I was 11 years old when I started as a groundman. I quit when I enlisted in the Army. The old logger was a spar high top man in Washington State and worked there as a logger for 27 years before he lost his leg. Was dropping a western cedar when it split vertically and threw him over 100 feet and broke his left leg in 9 places so the doc amputated it he didn't even know what happened until he woke up three days later in the hospital. His falling partner was killed when he was thrown into a large rock killing him instantly. The crew thought they lost both of them when it happened. The old logger is the reason my uncle lived to a ripe old age with only bumps and bruises after his first and last major tree accident. This crew in the video is doing it exactly as my uncle and me would take down a tree that size. All you guys out there saying he should be using a crane, instead of proclaiming your informed decision get off your ass and go work for a tree company or a logger and find out what life is about. It's not a video game guys. Real people get hurt and killed doing this every day. Stay safe out there guys.

Thank you so much for making the video. I am quadriplegic and it's very enjoyable for me to watch the removal of the tree. I watch at night because I can't sleep. This is so interesting. I admire the men doing the work also. Thank all of you so much.

PERFEITO ! PENA QUE NO BRASIL NAO SE FAZ UM SERVIÇO PERFEITO IGUAL A ESTE 1

Fabulously Incredible Job! Missed seeing the last top come down! 😢

I'd hire this crew any day. Good work. I wish you filmed that last "leafy" top he cut off, before he started on the main trunk. Bad ass climber guy, I used to be a power company lineman, on the hooks & all. He made it look so effortless.

I felled trees for 37 years..the northern interior of british columbia then settled in a small northern ontario town on the north shore of lake superior and cut pulp and believe me I was in shape and considered myself good! What this guys does is awesome and just as dangerous plus you can make a mistake in the bush but you cannot make a mistake here for obvious reasons. I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO YOU SIR...JOB WELL DONE!!

I've had two good top climbers work for me here in the U.K. and when young I could out work the two groundsmen by myself but the climber in this is THE MAN! We once cut a standing trunk at 30" round at 60ft and it was all two of us could do to wedge for small rollers and push 6" to 8" slabs off a raked cut - this guy was doing 18" to 24" by himself!! MIGHTY! We all have our hard hats off to you. Hope you didn't get too much strife about the water main.

Wow. At 2:24 removes safety rope from around tree and pulls self up rope by hands to 2:57 .Strength and confidence. Wow.

That's the way it's done. Good job!

This is a good show of professionalism. For that huge tree to be that close to a house and not even a broken window. Good job guys! Kudos to the guy on top.

Of all the guys I have watched, these are the very best!!!!!!

My neighbor's son was killed doing this. He worked for a tree company and was very good with this type of work. Sadly a tree he climbed was rotted at the base and his boss or he did not see it. The tree came down with him strapped to it. Nice young man, very sad day , we all miss Brian.

I would have loved to learn/see the extent of the water damage.

they knew what they were doing on this one. Thanks for an outstanding video. (Mississipi)

Excellent work guys. Very professional. I hope you are well compensated for doing this kind of dangerous work.

Great job very professional cutting pine tree. Keep safe guys and God bless you!

What a brave man! It is hard work. Appreciate sharing with us

I enjoy watching professionals work. Those guys did a marvelous job!

Moçada seis tão de parabéns - que preparo - que técnica - sou operador de torno de madeira mais tirei o chapéu a voceis - muita coragem do podador que vai em cima

What a challenge with the 2 houses around. Very efficient work. This company is top

Wonderful viewing - how awesome was the dropping of the huge pine tree without crane or cherry picker - and within a few metres of the homes - all down to the expertise of the first class team. ...Bravo and cheers.

Nicely done. A hell of a lot of manual work, though. I would have a crane there in a heart beat. Looked like a perfect set up for one with maximum capacity and reach. You would have got some nice sawlogs out of it as well.

I'm surprised they let it get that big growing so close to the house. Great job guys. Where are they cause I'm in Florida and I've not seen one this big anywhere.

I love the way the guys know every move to make to do their jobs to bring this tree down.You can tell hey have been trained well

Beautiful old tree - sad it had to go, but far too close to the houses and the roots are doing lots of damage to underground reticulation. Excellent job guys... I admire such professionalism in tackling a very dangerous job like this.

I used to do that kind of work as a tree topper and you have no idea how it takes balls of steel to do what that guy does

Some day, probably in the far, far distant future, someone will invent crane trucks.

ЗдОрово! Ребята своё дело знают! Я из России, из Крыма и у нас к сожалению почти не осталось 30 метровых деревьев и ещё они не растут возле дома. Но видео посмотрел с интересом...

Enjoyed it very much the guy in the tree is exceptional I have never seen better he's a pro

I watched this whole thing, and you know what ?? I loved it. What a hell of away to make a living.. I bet the water department charged $4000.00 to come out and fix that Main..Very hard working YOUNG men, you can't do that when your old.all you can do is point.See Ya

I really enjoyed watching this video. Amazing worker especially the guy up that tree. Amazing how long he worked up the tree with out breaks.

O my Lord ! How brave man the pine tree-cutter is !! He has no fear & fright. He ascended on the top of a high long pine tree and cut all the branches of the thee successfully. The brave man is praiseworthy no doubt. Many thanks to him for his braveness & hard works. The brave man cur the huge pine tree without crane or any heavy machine. Although this work is very risky, probably its payment is not less amount. Many thanks for uploading this fearful video for us.

we missed the most compelling part!!! the last and hardest top set. I really wanted to see how he managed that!! but it was one of the best I've seen

wow, they are very expert! Congratulations!!!

Gentlemen you have my admiration of doing a good job and that gentleman with a chainsaw in the top of the tree is a virtuoso, an incredibly interesting show, thanks.

Damn, that's one tall ass tree! I'd be surprised if those roots weren't growing through the basement wall in that house! Unless it has a crawl space only.

Loved this. You can see they had a good safety plan. That is one mean chipper. The Video guy did fantastic but missed the topping of the tree. Oh well, it still was a great video. He zoomed in and out at times and showed everything. Great job do by everyone. Main thing is no one was hurt.

Cool video! you miss the amazing part 43:28 ,tree top removal not seen

i watched the whole job. and thats one hell of a tree man. he dropped that giant tree piece by piece right down between those two houses fantastic job wow just fantastic.

No need to go to a gym for any of the crew! That climber is in phenomenal shape. Excellent job for such a huge tree in tight quarters.

I've seen lousy crews and I've seen good crews, this is a very good crew.

Wow what a man ...great team work guys x

Admirável,ver um vídeo como esse. Um grande profissional, cauteloso e atencioso em cada detalhe na segurança para com todos ao redor. Parabéns à valiosa equipe. Deus abençoe e proteja a todos vocês! ❤️🇧🇷

Tree work is hard and heavy. Nice job guys!!!!! You made it look easy.

Wow, that is totally amazing

i learned years ago to cut EVERY limb and stub off below where i must let upper limbs down so they dont get hung on the way down.

I thoroughly enjoy watching any craftsman who masters their profession, great video. What a well oiled crew, fantastic work gentlemen.

Wow, this is not a job for the faint of heart! Good job guys!

I watched the whole thing. Entertaining!

Parabéns pelo trabalho 🙏👍👍👍🇧🇷

Muito trabalho, mas com cuidado final feliz sem danos as casas.Brasil.

Also,using the crane would allow for retrieving the lumber in 8 to 12 foot lengths for reuse sawing. You could build a shed with all that lumber.

That beautiful Tri got revenge in the end

You guys did an awesome job on the second part the chipper sounds like a champ I have heard a lot of chippers that were exactly like that in the Vandemere BC 1000 I love it

She was a beautiful grand old lady.It is so good to see the way you are handling her as she makes her exit .She has homed many creatures and given shelter as well and I for one respect the way you are taking her down.Thank you guys

this is my dream job how do i get the training needed is there an apprenticeship for this

Everybody on here is a pro sitting on their ass watching this on their computer or phone until they really have to do it.

I love the chatter with the neighbour. She was funny with her comments about getting old. Nice lady.

Some of those tree limbs he is sending down are as big as regular trees. Amazing work guys.

Truly an amazing crew, all working together. Top man has incredible savey and much intelligence to take down safely for all concern. Im totally impressed, Great job guys !!!

I feel for you guys (the working crew). You spent alot of energy on this removal. It really sucks that something broke just at the end ... (a water line). I hope you didn't have to collect your insurance !?! ... Keep up the good work !

Good!! Professional!!!👍👍👍

Great job, that last big piece was kinda scary. You are a true professional in my books. You put it exactly were you wanted it ,with no damage to the surrounding area, beautiful. Thanks for sharing. M. OOOpps spoke to soon.

got to say these are pros at this pleseure two them at work

I like the log when it got smaller for about 12' as best in the tree. Great job over all..tough conditions, so close! Climber is awesome hope you pay him all it's worth!!!

Da gusto ver cómo trabaja un profesional. Siempre he dicho que un presupuesto de 5 la mayoría de la veces es mucho más caro que uno de 25

my legs feel weak watching this,these guys are something special

Very professional The climber did an exelent Job I worked in the Tree Care industry for 11 years I did Crane Removals too ONLY THE GUY WITH THE LOWERING DIVICE COULD HAVE MORE CONTROL WITH WRAPS IN THE LOWERING DIVICE OTHER THAN THAT WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL

I love how the rookie wears the heavy PVC rain suit, and the pink helmet...

These guys earned every single $ of the cutting/tree removal expense! The Guy climbing up and doing the cutting deserves a bonus!
