NO WAY!!. Big Tree Drop! Did this actually just Happen ?

good morning friends it seems to be the week of crazy jobs um interesting jobs i should say not crazy my wife laughs at me when my hoodie is underneath my jacket she calls me the hunchback from notre dame we're uh we're pulling into an old buddy of mine's place uh there's one really the first one's nothing it's a snag there's a hole on it it's going to be easy we're just going to well it's a tight shot but the second one it's not pretty it it's not it's not going to be it's going to be a pucker here we are here now he's ready to roll he's right here we got the trailer we got all kinds of stuff we got the excavator there he's probably waiting he's got her dug out you see so i'll be able to get right in there i'll park in here we we've done work here before friends we we've been here before so uh we'll get things set up all right well friends we we're gonna uh i was thinking about maybe putting that right through this gate to be honest but he's got his water thing right there you see that so we've got another option down there or on a 45 off the pole there up in here by this little tin thing here it's it is a tight shot because we got a a home here and a little maple tree and i think that maple tree's gonna get slaughtered if we come down and we take a peek at this i mean there's not much i'm not going down there or they're septic guarding the whole gamut you can see why i put that stick there right friends but i don't know what i'm gonna do with that maple tree yet yeah so this is this is the deal he's gonna just get up in here i'll probably end up banging it off the mind you i guess i could throw it up here i could do that actually yeah i could do that maybe i will do that maybe i will ah so friends he mentioned to me that buckingham he was pushing for it up on the front lawn of the of the cabin there with the trailer and that by the hydro lines and all this and the septic in the garden and you guys know me i'm in a man of service i i'm gonna try and do my very best and now so i scoped it all out didn't bother putting it on camera but i went up and really looked at things that's why i'm i'm totally looking at my sights here i want to try and save out the garden and everything out there so see how we make out [Music] hmm wow [Music] okay i just want you to flick it like that very slowly with me you don't want that [Laughter] hmm [Music] ah [Music] ah wow thanks buddy you got an iphone okay here's the deal completely rotten okay so i want to talk to you guys just for two seconds about what we just done there okay brad this tree was straight up and down friends but here's the deal we got targets everywheres houses septics freaking lines just everywhere so i've done a lot of falling with excavators and what happens is guys will get the prongs poked right into the tree and they'll want to because they're excavator guys that maybe haven't done he's done lots of tree work with me he knows the gig he knows to just we get our heads together and we do it we've done some crazy stuff me and brad but guys that you know aren't open to suggestions they'll want to ram their their dogs in and they'll want to walk with you when you gotta bang your target thread the needle so speak he could literally drop in a hole now he's got his freaking prongs in the tree he drops in a hole i'm talking six inches friends guess what happens especially with wood like this he's got his dogs in there he breaks the freaking tree off he breaks the freaking tree off and it goes on where you don't want it to all i had brad do was just have his bucket there it was straight up and down just have his bucket against the tree and he just he actually was just there for security so that came out really nice but we had to be ginger as heck friends brad what do you want me to do with this 17 footer 16 footers yeah a good 17 then i can trim it okay oh absolutely it is now to be honest with you uh the buttress i think we'll i might get you with the machine because i want to show you something so friends i just want to take two seconds and give you an idea what went on here you guys were down there with me on the stump well there was a plan up here that i wanted to see if i could do and uh it worked so we're pretty tickled with that today there's not much that's going to get me down today i mean come on friends that's 18 inches literally it's 18 inches i'll get a better spot of that a shot of that when we limit out so i'm going to go bone the sucker out and cut 16 sixes so we're in the dirt uh brad so i may just use you a little bit down here on the buttress see if we can get some logs out of her quick buck here eight footer just to clean up the junk just want to show you uh a a way of bucking this we got our we're up in the air here friends so we don't want to just start cutting from the top you want to take the bottom out compression first always friends on these big bucks like this small bucks anything take your compression first [Applause] [Applause] [Music] ah [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] ah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] ah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] ah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] aah so here's our shot friends this is our shot oh you don't i'm not sure you get better than that friends but we're trying to save logs out too as well as the garden that is just you don't do that every day i uh i was hoping for the best and that's better than what i hoped for wow good i guess he wants to push it through these crowns here he just has to walk right through it it should be fine it's just it comes much easier with a cut that's awesome not a big piece of machinery either but it'll come he'll push it there it comes [Music] good [Music] [Applause] okay so friends we got a real issue here uh brad had me up for that fur but this thing's just a ghost up top you can see it's well you know what they're like i don't have to explain these maples to you when they start dying there's no bark on there it's going to disintegrate out here it's just going to disintegrate you'll have something here left but they they lose their crowns and i don't know why it's called maple dieback brad said he hit this one with the bucket years ago just to bust the dead wood out of it which is a good idea if you've got a cage and you're far enough away but unfortunately this tree is dumb and it's well you can see what's happening here we go boom we're right over top of the freaking ranch so i suggested we just follow it get rid of it now it's leaning on the house but we'll be able to ram it through we got targets as always we got our our shed there the barn shed fences and of course the house so i'm going to get brad it's not a a crazy crazy loon but it's enough that it will definitely drift into that fence if we don't deal with this properly we're rolling on this i just showed you the little preamble i'm going to cut my way in here i'm going to get brad set up on the hoe and we are going to round this thing through these two trees get mom out of there before she wears a maple sandwich so there's our hole now that's why we took that fur out so okay give me some a little bit i want you on there okay you're good just pre-load me a little bit smile yeah watch your head that's it when it's time brad it's all you you're gonna get out of the way a little bit yeah i'm gonna put an undercut in it kyle you ready for this big fella i'm ready yup we don't want a real deep undercut on this ah [Music] [Applause] ah [Applause] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] um [Applause] [Music] [Music] um [Music] [Applause] wow [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] um good morning friends uh this snags in real bad shape we almost didn't want to rattle it at all with the excavator but it's balsam they'll hang on pretty good bone dead like that for a while so it was just a ginger show on this one so he's just getting uh prepared here to drop this tree is really down there and this is basically the end of this job [Applause] [Music] [Applause] um [Applause] [Applause] ah [Music] [Music] so there we go it is really yeah she's pretty rough shape friends but you come out nice just those balsams actually hold together friends when you get into a stage like this and you got a shock load of snag it's this here's here's the the mathematical equation conch is there any conch bad sign bark twig and branch right work your way back if it's got twig configuration it's probably not half bad depending on species you'll learn this through the years as you go so all snags ain't the same this was solid on the stump fronts you can tell the balsams are like that the bark's peeling off it it's probably not bad there's a little bit of heat left in it not much but the crown is where you want to look there's no configuration up in the top crown we'll go down to take a look at it i gotta buck this up actually you know what before we get too into this i'll just show you so here's a sign that the thing hasn't been gone too far this is needle configuration twig twig right needle then twig then branch okay so that that's how that goes needle twig branch right stem busted okay so here we go so now now our our configuration is gone this this here's about our see look see this one here now no twig just branch you see whatever you see what i'm saying friends so it starts to disappear as we go up now as we get up here there's just branch look it you see what i'm saying this so learn your snags learn your species that went right to that fur tree right to it okay that's this job i hope you guys pick up some stuff i mean i've been doing this with you guys now for about six years i'm not really a how-to but there's been so many comments and
