Great job Zach. Just gonna' echo many other commenters but yes great explanations during the process.

As always stay safe buddy.
@@ClellWise thanks Clell! The homeowner said he was going to cut everything up for his wood burner inside the house! I think the sugar maple will burn very nicely for him.
Hi Zach, glad to see that even though the tree had rotten spots above it seemed pretty solid at the bottom. When those dead limbs fall to the ground it is neat to hear them break all to pieces when hitting the ground. Glad that even though this tree was more challenging you got it down safely without getting injured or destroying something on the ground.
Thanks Ben, I’m glad too. I hate climbing a tree and then cutting the stump to find out that it was way more rotten than you should have been climbing on. I’m very thankful it all went as well as it did.
appreciate your channel, maybe your E-saw is better than mine was, but I thought my Ryobi 40v saw was decent until I broke down and bought a little Stihl 200 series.. not a serious woodsman like you, but dragging a cart full of batteries into the woods sucked....still have it for up by the house, but my little 250 is the workhorse now. Watching how slow those cut reminds me of 2 years ago thinking I had a fast tool.. up in the trees, it does look safer, and I'm not EVER up in the trees, so total respect for your decisions..
@@saltyyankee5149 thanks man. I think electric saws have their place, but they’re not yet ready to replace gas completely. Firewood cutting is still best served by gas saws I think. Dragging batteries around as you cited, is a challenge.
@@marcosadun I throw or launch a small weighted canvas bag with a very strong string up into the tree. Once it’s over a sturdy limb, I use the string to pull my rope up over the limb. I tie one end to the bottom of the tree and I climb on the other end. Your question has been a popular one recently, maybe I’ll make a video specifically about it.
Zach yea a lot of decay in the tree I know can't tell distance from video I would guess not enough room to send top below the split spot all went well like you said sugar maple strong fibers and split been there for many years during high winds. Always go home at end of day. Material things can be replaced humans, not. Remember one thing in the end it's not your problem either walk away or make sure your not going to get injured or killed. Great job as usual
@@robertvannicolo4435 Thanks Robert. I definitely contemplated cutting lower to send a bigger top. The decay was just so Garth down from there that I would have had to add another 10 or 12 feet to the piece to get below it. I did considering declining the tree after I was up there, but I felt good enough about send the tops independently to continue
@@geekay4703 unfortunately it really wasn’t. I looked things over from the ground and from up in the tree once I got up there. Everything was either too far away or too short. This would have been a really nice tree to rig off of a neighbor though for sure.
@@bywonline yes, I’ve seen other people do it and I’ve done it with chains and binder and strap alike. I probably could have helped that upper union a little bit with something like that. I’m not sure it would have done a whole lot for the lower one, but it certainly wouldn’t have hurt.
I probably should have. Cutting that grafted branch up there didn’t seem like a big deal until I was up there doing it. Only then did it occur to me that the branch might have need the only thing holding it all together.
@@ArcadianQuiltStudio I’ve had it for a month or more now, I was just waiting for the right opportunity to break it out. I have some plans for that thing. It’ll be in next weeks video too!
Yeah my opinion buddy a thousand percent you were right by not rigging off of that I would have dropped stuff out too that's just my opinion and what I would have done if some shrubs get damaged or the lawn gets damaged so be it that stuff can be replaced our lives cannot be replaced God bless brother
I can understand not wanting to rig off that thing! I know it's taboo but it's a lot safer to one hand a saw and toss some branches than to yard on a big top with a winch in that situation, especially with the possibility of the hinge breaking and and being so close to the road or just clobber the bushes, they will bounce back.
@@troyerthedestroyer That’s a tough perspective for me to argue with. There is nothing I dislike more in tree work than cut and throw. I need my hands for this industry and one handing is a large source of hand injuries. I personally prefer to accept the risk of hinge failure and the tops not going where I want them to than the risk of tearing up my hands. I can see the logic behind what you’re saying though. Definitely some solid thoughts.
@@zaccheus I can see why you are cautious about it but just like everything in our profession there are ways to mitigate the risk involved with the cut and toss method starting with a light weight top handle, understanding kick back and strike zones and keeping your extremities an arms reach away. The most common way I have seen people cut themselves is when a top goes south on someone who is used to using two hands and they need to make a split second decision and their muscle memory is to have both hands near the saw.
@ That makes a lot of sense. I guess there might have been some other options as fast as tucking the branches back under the tree if I wanted to pursue them. I just really didn’t want to go up there 😅
@@zaccheus I really don't blame you. In a situation like this I give zero fucks about little bushes and let the customer know that they should dig them up if they want to keep them. Waiting that long to call a tree professional is negligence.
The tree was bad the saws were god the climber was cool and the ground worker knew his stuff. A job like that could go many ways, today it worked out right. A clear talk through the working of your mind in a high stress situation help you handle the dat and what it throws at you and it also help those who don't know the game how it can go good or bad. Cheers
@@willtricks9432 Thanks man! I think your perspective is right on. This one went well today. That’s no guarantee that tomorrow will go well or that the next challenging tree will go well. The best attitude is to stay humble and bring your best judgement to every job.
@@masongreen1871 aw man, I can’t remember exactly, but I want to say it was one battery in the little saw and two sets of batteries in the big saw. The groundy used the big saw on the ground a bit before it can up the tree to me.

It was a tough tree. I’ve been in sugar maples that weren’t nearly as strong as this one. I was quite thankful that this one had some strength or work with
@@brandonswan9247 excellent question. I did look around hard to see if I have any other tree resources in the area for rigging of climbing and to my disappointment, nothing was tall enough or close enough.
That said, as I am not a very good carpenter and have never wanted a insurance claim I have probably done some sketchy stuff in the name of not wanting to break anything. I’m an old guy now 63 to be exact, these days I mostly do trimming work on smaller trees. Watching you develop has been a real joy.

Yeah there are some more tree on this property that need attention. We are tackling it one day at a time to spread the cost out. The homeowner is handling the clean up! He has a wood burning stove in the house and wanted all the firewood he could get.
@@JJawsyW if you’re thinking about the weight, gas saws still have a better power to weight ratio. It’s going to be a long time until they win that front because battery technology hasn’t gotten light weight enough to compete yet. They are so much quieter and easier to use up in the tree sometimes because they don’t have to be started which is handy.
Have you considered a good ratchet strap to hold the tree together at the bad crotch. I have done that before and even when felling a suspect trunk. When feeling a trunk use a strap that can be thrown away when done. 3:24 a phytotelma!

I hear guys say that often. It is a big hurdle. That thing probably costs about as my old pickup to replace. For the work I do I find it to be so incredibly worth it.

@ yes, mine start with a single pull too. But starting them all the time for every single cut gets old. I do like that they’re not as loud too. It’s easier to communicate with the rest of the team while the saw is running. I’ve watched this new Milwaukee saw beat a ms362. The power is getting pretty real with these things
My take is, fek whats on the ground, my health comes before some tight arsed customers wallet and what he wants to take out of it. they can either replace a few plants or pay a grand for a spider lift.

I feel like there's also a video where you climb a tree more dangerous than this so it was surprising to hear you voice your concerns and changing your plans. which goes to show, knowing your stuff is crucial. thanks for the vids as always.
nice work
Thanks!
