Just rented one today from Home Depot. Used it to take down a 50' oak tree. Worked Great! A little shaky when fully extended but got used to that after about 30 minutes. Fully limbed the tree down to 10' then took the trunk down from the ground. Never took a tree that size down before nor used a boom lift. If you have good common sense and carefully plan each fall you can save yourself a bunch of money. Cost was 300 for 24 hours vs 1200 for service to do the work. Took 4 hours to take it to the ground. Good judgement is the key here.
Rented one, cost me $298+fee’s. Best quote I received to cut down 4 trees that were dangerously close to my house was $9700. Trees had to be removed, they totaled 2 of my cars from hurricane Zeta.
That lift is a great tool. I love the Stihl chainsaw too, very reliable. PS, for the viewers: don't forget to wear a body harness, and decouple the trailer from the truck. Sometimes the self-leveling outriggers will try to lift the truck
No one heard of 'notching trees trunks' to get the to fall where you want? What if that saw got 'hung up' in the middle of that straight cut? Not the way I was taught to cut trees. Just saying. Notching will greatly help with where your 'piece' goes as well as lessen the chance the saw blade gets hung up in a straight saw across cut. WOW...you were lucky.
You took so many branches off while the tree was standing... Why not take the time to pluck each individual pine needle before sawing? Dude, section the tree in much larger sections like 4th's, 5th's or perhaps 6th's, then disect it when it's on the ground.

Damn....I’m gonna go get me a boom lift...be safe, make a dollar or two here and there! Most of all have fun! Awesome vid! 👍
like a boss!!!!! great job.
Just topped six 40' pine trees with one. Terrifying. I used a pole saw. $130/day at my local rental place.
Could have easily dropped this tree without lift.
Great video brother
I think I'll be renting one for my next two big jobs
That's some damn good camera quality for 1970
Lol no it was 2016
@@sandroserna6883 I figured lol. The time stamp on your camera was just off. How much do those cost to rent btw?
About $300/day, delivered.
this was done in the 70's i see? lol. very futuristic !!! hahaa
I got a HA from all the head movements
It took me that long to drag all my climbing gears out to the tree.
Nice work!
Brian Egeston thx
good job
Whenever it was made ...that was fast and efficient! Nice!!
Adam Bausch thx
@@sandroserna6883 how are you
What model genie lift is that and is has that been able to do most of the jobs you get? --height wise?
Hey 60 feet
Shot in 1970, ehh? Must be produced by Arborpod
So we know you ate a time traveler cause you had amazing video quality and this equipment on January 1st 1970
Nice. Gob
this is exactly how i am going to cut down my 25 leyland cyprus in april. going to rent mine for a full week.
What model genie lift is that?
TZ-50
Not trying to second guess but it looks like a tree company doing this. Why not just get a rope in the tree and tie the truck on and lay it down?
We're just wasting some time
Yeah and what happens when a heavy branch falls on the cage? Aaargh!
Will that's why I go up on the left..
This is not shot in 1970
zackCraft752201 sure it was
70s had 1080p?!~?!??!?!?!?!
sando sema, 🤣🤣🤣

I was going to do it that way save time but we had plenty of time in hours showing someone how to do it the right way
Stick to the baby tree's you didn't make 1 single cut properly
Nice. Gob
