Its ~50°F waay down here in New Orleans area as we are beginning to thaw out from our 3-4 days of 30° Winter weather. Your closing comments, announced by daughter Ruby, was priceless! Sooo nice to see & hear many of you YT guys including your kids in your videos....from a 78 yr old Pawpaw (7 G-kids) it is absolutely wonderful to see & hear you use your kids in your work related videos...gotta give kids a boost in their (most important) self-confidence! So even if you did not use your crane, much enjoy your use of compounding your kids development not only by the occasional cameo (when beautiful wife brings lunch) but also have them narrate the closing🎉😊 A+ Reon, you are doing waaay more than just cutting down trees, your are >Growing< our country's next well rounded citizens..ya know...gotta maintain property, have gardens...& hire a tree service to tame these ever growing trees!😊💪
As a NCCCO crane operator, I enjoyed watching the setup and love your Grove! As a journeyman lineman, I did notice that the wire in question appears to be a span guy, not an energized primary. Below is the secondary and communication cables. But better to error on the side of caution!
Great Job and everyone was safe ! Taken down hundreds in the last thirty years . The tree surgeon that I usually worked with made the statement one day that he need to buy a crane ! I informed him he had already bought one, it was sitting right here ! CCO
Incredibly interesting to watch this kind of stuff and that includes Reon's commentary which makes it more understandable and more interesting. The missing counter weight bolts is a drag, considering what you have to do to compensate for it after committing to $1M+ on the crane. It would seem that your Grove vendor could have been a little more proactive in having the crane completely ready for sale and/or world class service after the sale to get the necessary missing pieces to you.
IM SO GLAD TO SEE MORE VIDEOS! your literally my tree hero reon, hope that doesnt sound weird! haha. anytime im like this is tough, or im tired i always say to myself.... ill never be reon if i keep being a big baby, and i get back to work! i got me a new 2022 freightliner cummins ally bucket and im saving up for a crane ... i finally feel prepared for a crane, i have a 2020 avant, an extra dump truck, a big dump trailer 14k payload, a 2023 wheel loader 8800 lb cap, and a bandit 150xp and a bandit 18xp ! hopefully we can keep up with this crazy production!! it looks so fun tho! ive done crane jobs but cant imagine doing them daily! ... do you use it every job unless it doesnt fit? or just big ones? a crane that is, i know you have a few! haha thanks for everything reon! your such an inspiration and your videos just blow me away! the coolest part about you is how nice/chill/humble you are ! many dicks, cheats, and pricks out there ! so nice to see a big company like yours with such an awesome down to earth owner! much love from your canadian tree brother up in manitoba canada! take care!
@@marciagilbert3996 aww so sorry to hear :( my dad died early too! reon is definitely amazing! Make sure he keeps making videos! hell be making more off youtube than trees in no time! top notch a+ content!
@marciagilbert3996 HI Marcia 😊 You're undoubtedly very proud of your son !!!! Nice to see you comment !!! I only got to meet Reon & family a little over 3 year's ago but they're Awesome, as I'm sure you are !!! You did a great job 👍❤
Reon, that was wild...a lot of precision. Make sure to use this in your portfolio of capabilities, this will get you lots of quirky jobs...Then you can show them to us...How big was that landing zone...I would retitle this...Dropping 100 Ft Oak at Coolest House Ever In the Woods Surrounded by Power Lines with Crane Jacked Up Ten Foot on Steep Hill Narrow Road with Living Room Sized Landing Zone and Done Before by Lunch Got Cold...that's just me. More clicks, Haha. Take care, Duane
Man I Love that crane ❤ Super great job on the video 👍 Ruby did Awesome !!! And Rocky is still right about the Grove 😁😂 Thank you for the video Mr Reon 👊
Great content again Reon, smashing the Job and the filming and neither are easy on there own let alone together. I’m a climber in the uk my self and it always amazes me the effort the likes of your self, August and Jake go to, to create the content you do. 🤙🏾
Great Job as always Reon👍 Please let us know : The Knuckleboom and the Merlot has left for the Grove? Or just waiting in the Garage for the smaller Trees? 🤔 Keep up the Save Work and best wishes from Germany 👋
Hi. I just saw the video of you new crane and i wish you the best. I have onlu one question. Are you sure with only one rope you have to pass in the first pulley and not in the middle one? 11:26
I've been waiting to see the new crane at work. Seems like the power company should have hired you while you were there and get those power lines clear. Do you ever contact neighbors at places that might need tree work with the crane in the same position? Would it reduce some costs if a group got together to have work done in several yards from the same setup?
Looks like Sena or another like it. I use it with a few crews, works 90 percent of the time. Occasional disconnects, static mics, pairing issues. They have a special operators set thats lower profile which is nice.
I used to work trimming for the powerlines and I was on a crew that went to the trees the other crews was afraid of. Guess who got to go first. I remember my first day on job they told me I was going to go on the super crew
Smart staying off that new concrete driveway and flawless job. You can take time to be safe in work and set up when you own the crane and the big boy is not subbed and not on the clock.
Curious what you charge for a tree like that with your new crane??? My area the cost of the crane would price us out of competitive bidding. Sometimes we don’t and or can’t charge for the our cranes, we just eat it the cost for simplicity/ convenience. Nice crane though bro-
this is why cranes should have those stoppers you used (-all four of.) I had a crane, had nothing to chock the wheels with even though I had to do the climbing stuff - to get level, the rear riggers sat on as much timber as possible, to get riggers OVER the timbers, had to pack under the rear axle (only a small 25t PPM, crane is probably forty years old or so, it doesn't have the ZF auto, it's got one of those sequential gearbox trransmissions where it manages the clutch itself) Well... when the job were done, it slid back into the scaffolding as soon as the wheels started to take the weight off of the riggers/cribbing, and the angle of the ground wasn't much different from there ... Safe lifting!
How many tree companies use a crane that size? This is a first, I’ve never seen it before. I’d love to see a video of what it costs a customer to have a large tree taken down, and what the rates are for the crane. Demand and need is clearly there, or you wouldn’t have it.
I would have done the Outrigger Pads Supports Different. They were still at a Downhill Slope vs a Level Pad from what I could see. I would have made a T with the Dunnage Timbers…and then put the Round Outrigger Pads on top of the T Patterned Dunnage to Level Out the Outrigger Support Area. It’s hard to explain the Pattern that I would have put the Dunnage in Words typing it out….but a T Pattern with first layer running opposite direction of the crane and then the next layer on top of that that is running in the direction with the crane and only resting on the first layer of dunnage on one end to make it higher on one end….to level it out.
There's a reason housemovers don't pack their cribbing tight, but space them a bit, without losing any bearing strength. I know OSHA says pack it tight, but really? Not a knock, just an observation, from a 20,000 hour plus op. If you don't have a tip of boom HD camera, with a HD 10" monitor in the cab, you should look into it, it is a game changer.
Reon thank you for coming back , you and your team are nothing short of fantastic! GOD bless you all and keep you safe.
Elliot killing it with the sling placement
Your climber/rigger needs a raise! he did an excellent job rigging those picks!
yessssss brother keep doing the POV crane footage, that's some of the best content on TH-cam, keep it up!!!

The winch indicator click reminds me of the To The Top videos! Excelent work gentlemen!
Always a good feeling having more crane than you need well done!

Reon, from one tree guy to another... You and your crew are top notch. Always enjoy seeing you here and on IG. Work safe gents.
Much appreciated
Another great video. 4 cuts. Wow!
As a crane operator I love the new grove!!! Keep safe

Love the crane footage, would love to see a full equipment tour!
The Grove sure makes life easy. More videos please.
I prefer the all in-cab view and commentary because there's nothing else like it on TH-cam. (That I've found).
Cool video! It's really interesting to see the removal from the crane operator's perspective.
Love the crane and you and your crew are amazing and kind people.
Great video! That’s a heckuva machine! ❤❤❤
Excellent work boys. I'm more often limited by the landing zone than by the crane capacity....
Great job Reon..... that crane makes things a lot easier.
Man I Love that crane ❤ Super great job on the video 👍 Ruby did Awesome !!! And Rocky is still right about the Grove 😁😂 Thank you for the video Mr Reon 👊
Great content again Reon, smashing the Job and the filming and neither are easy on there own let alone together.

Reon what do you do with the chips?
Can you explain the clicking sound when lifting?
Great Job as always Reon👍
Please let us know :
The Knuckleboom and the Merlot has left for the Grove?
Or just waiting in the Garage for the smaller Trees? 🤔
Keep up the Save Work and best wishes from Germany 👋
What's that headset you're using, and is voice activated or push to talk?
Do you have a bandsaw or a circular sawmill for cutting boards of the good sized timber you cut down?
Would be a shame to throw them away.
Love the soothing feel of a perfect concrete driveway, good choice not to crack it!
What would you suggest as a decent first crane??
Beautiful machine and the efficiency wow.
Such a nice set up and equipment. I can’t imagine how expensive it was to get that tree took down. It was a very dangerous situation.
Hey Bro. I got a question to ask if you don't mind ? what kind of license do you need for that kind of crane in the state your in ?
Well organized person keep up the good work does your crew clean and shine your equipment thanks
Did you part ways with the merlo?
Upload more your videos are awesome we just got a crane at our company an seeing this is just amazing
Nice to see you back in the tube. Great work
What's the clicking? Seems like its heard when you're running the winch.
Gran trabajo como siempre 👍👍
Took you longer to set up than to cut it down?

you are wonderful! May God bless you all and keep you safe.
Amazing!! I love the new Grove looks great, also love the pov of the cab!! Could you possible do a pov of driving the crane by chance??
I will try!
Enjoyed the video. Nice rig. Good crew. A1
Was that first pic in slow motion? Seamed Smooth as silk.
No, sir, that was normal speed
Could you explain your radio setup? I think it might be handy 🏗️ at work. Can it work with two riggers and an operator?
Thanks
Ben

@@joshuahardy6624 Thanks, I actually use senna on my motorcycle helmet!
Your a cool dude and do some nice work man. Hope to catch up to you one day with all the toys.
Wow, great job/video!! 👍♥️🙏
Are you still doing tree work
Love the video. Keep up the good work!
Love your videos Reon!!!
Ruby at the end tho 😭😭so cute! You just got a bunch of subscribers!!!
I want “todays job” by you saying it as my alarm in the morning. Im weird. Iknow😜😂
🤣😂🤣
Awesome video nice crane
I wonder what the roads speed of that crane is,,
Very impressive operation!
I used to work trimming for the powerlines and I was on a crew that went to the trees the other crews was afraid of. Guess who got to go first. I remember my first day on job they told me I was going to go on the super crew
The man the myth the legend
Great job brother
Smart staying off that new concrete driveway and flawless job. You can take time to be safe in work and set up when you own the crane and the big boy is not subbed and not on the clock.
Amazing work reon love the new videos
It may be easy but it's not cheap...$$$.$$. Nice job.

Thanks for the video sir!!!
I know what my next crane is going to be!!
Did I see you bump the wire with the first pick
“This took us 45 minutes to get it like this”. Well if it’s safe it doesn’t matter how long it took to get there
and here we are always told "its not the size of your tool!" ha ha ha
keep them videos coming my man
Nice ! Sure is a sweet chunk of oak there. Do you ever get asked to leave some stumpage for a chainsaw carving ? 🤙
Reon you and your team are the dogs bollocks 😂😂 all the best from England stay safe guys
Sweet.... Always great vids.
Good job mate!!🍺🍺💪👍
Thanks 👍

Where do I sign up
Why dont you have reciceld plastic cribing
Loving these vids

A crane like that what's your skier a rotator operator😂❤
Amazing that August struggles financially and you buy a 1.6 million dollar crane!
I wonder how much he charges for a job like this?
I did notice you are missing something, the name on the crane should read, Reon Rounds Professional Tree Service. 👍
What organization did you get your crane certification through?
great job
Haven’t seen any new videos in a while. Hope all is well
Get a spyder lift next
Could have picked the whole tree with that chart! Too bad you couldn't land it of course.
M sure you coulda took that whole stem in 1 and been well under the brown stripe bell…
I would have done the Outrigger Pads Supports Different. They were still at a Downhill Slope vs a Level Pad from what I could see. I would have made a T with the Dunnage Timbers…and then put the Round Outrigger Pads on top of the T Patterned Dunnage to Level Out the Outrigger Support Area.

Yeah I cut some sloped blocks on my sawmill so I can give my outriggers a chance. He needs a better setup for that much weight.
😂😂😂😂that's nothing brother but I get that it's the first one with a very expensive machine but that's what they're built for. SEND IT!!!
