I came here to check out a battery powered chainsaw and witnessed the most incredible "difficult" tree removal I've ever seen. That was seriously impressive.
August, It's been amazing to watch how much you've grown and all the hard earned wisdom that you've shared. I attribute my own company and the success that it has had largely to the hard lessons I didn't have to learn through watching your videos. Your content for years now has taught me things that I will carry with me the rest of my life, man. You truly are the Jerry Beranek of your time.
@@AugustHunicke Just a shout out of COMPLEMENTS, to August and the team. Great skills, one and all! Through it all, you guys seem to have fun. The Video editing, with shots of rigging, and explanation, are superb. Kudos. You turned me into a tree-monkey-junkie. 😜 🙈
Spectacular editing 14:36 The picture-in-picture! Then... 14:57 The switch to slow-mo and dramatic "high noon" music -- if Clint Eastwood were in the top of a tree, that is *exactly* how it would look and sound!
Just getting into climbing and trimming at 46yrs old. Enjoying your videos and knowledge that you are sharing. Loving this battery saw as I feel it would work better with what I plan on doing, basic trimming and limb removal. Love those views you have from the tops!
Love the skid moving back tensioning the rigging just perfectly- showing that the operator “feels” what is about to happen….as he is a climber himself of course….
Yeah, my friends laughed at first when I bought my battery saw. Then they saw how much and how fast I could cut. Thanks for a great vid. Pure poetry in motion.
New found respect for what these guys do. My man has some major stones. I can't even get on my second story roof and he's up there cutting and recording at the same time. Hats off to him.
18:32 Perfect example for how to rope negative rigging. Isn't on the brakes off the bat, and waits till the log has rolled to 45 degree ish downward angle, then gradually applies the brakes. Absolutely beautiful. If my understanding of the rope manipulation is off, please correct me. As a climber I do appreciate the occasional ride or 2, however I generally like things to go as smooth as possible, and this seems like a perfect clip to illustrate how to do it.
Take clean fish oil, and reduce carbs, im an old sore bugger from tossing transport tire rims, i got the inflamation down really helped me, Nice see some these young men pushing along, by 2060, they will need sky drones to trim and fall, I guess? , and robots to separate duals, many youth avoid these hard strength trades 😂
Seems like most of the trees in your region are like soft wood , pine family type trees . Its nice to see someone passionate about the path they took & not complaining
THAT IS THE BEST RIGGING , ALL TOGETHER, FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND ESPECIALLY AT THE END!!!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!!! That is just smooth and in control. AWESOME TEAMWORK!
Old hollywood style, rigged up and tied seamlessly to the newer informational is grafted perfection of infotainment. Brother you are brilliant and God is using you're gifts in the utmost of unexpected ways. Keep mounting up on those wings and those that don't know will continue to be inspired by the testimony of the life you so graciously share. One more time thank you for all you do.
T540 is a great saw! You and your crew make a tough job look easy. Thank you for all your innovations, videos and expertise, we all appreciate this channel. Please keep it up!
I can totally appreciate the effort that you have put into the filming and audio quality while filming. And let's not forget spot on video editing to create a fantastic video. Also, the actual work that you're doing!! What a great video, a big fat thumbs up my man.
It's awesome that you are always using what you know, but are not afraid to try new tech. The search for better, easier, faster. Harnesses, rigging devices, saws. Then you show us. Thanks August regards
All I can say is that whatever this man is getting paid, he's worth EVERY penny! WHAT A PROFESSIONAL!!! Think of what that Tree has "seen" since it was a sapling, lived a full life, and now going to be a 'tree house'....some trees just give EVERYTHING to man, and then they give some more...What a wonderful lifeform they can be if you take a moment to consider, and really appreciate the wonders of this earth:)
Just saw Treeson using the 540i and was wondering about it since most of the tree people seem to say battery saws just aren't ready yet. Glad to hear your thoughts on it and see the battery umbilical
“See those ants… They’ll be marching right up to my neck…” 😳🤣 Good to see you using the 540i August! Merle was an early adopter. I think it’s been nearly 2 years? He raves about that saw and so do his customers. I’d say the bulk of his work is trimming and less takedowns so for him it’s a game changer. Your battery idea on the harness looks ideal! It’s been a while since I’ve watched a video… as always I’ve learned and have been entertained. 👏🏻 All the best to you and the crew.❤️
All of your videos are edited and paced extremely well, but this edit is next level. Even though the title describes the scenario, a story or man, method, machine vs. the fate and future of a trouble tree drama naturally unfolds. Informative, calculatedly intense (due to the inherent nature of the occupation) and seamlessly entertaining.

You got the tools and the skills. Thankyou. Incredible footage! I’ve been curious about both those saws and really like your loader! Pro!! Stay safe. ✌🏽❤️
I love this saw while working in the tree!! It would be amazing to move the battery to the harness. I will defiantly be watching to see this system being sold on your site!!!!
I am all about trying new things... love some old stuff like my 200T and think battery stuff is great in certain places. Love that it keeps neighbors happy in the morning and people are not freeked out your doing something wrong.. which we see
I recently had a large maple in a confined space removed on my property. The entire process was a horror. I wish the company I hired had shown half the thought, care, respect, professionalism, and skill you and your crew show here on a regular basis. You and your company are exceptional.
I recently removed a large maple from a confined back yard and I hope it wasn't me because the job went perfect save for the chipper muffler melting the lady's siding on her house
Just cause the state makes it easy to get a business license don't make them good I've been climbing for over 20 years and I can say not a lot of people who say they can do a good job can't or they watch people do this and think it's easy there's nothing to it and start a business
@@karlwittig5966 Agreed, but I hired one of the biggest companies in Indianapolis, and paid a premium price for what should have been a professional job. It was not, and I was treated poorly and am extremely disappointed. I guess watching August and crew in action has spoiled me into thinking all big outfits will do it like his.
That was just spectacular. Highly skilled team with great tools solve a very difficult problem. That's a very tough job. Well done for the work and the videography too!
Makes me smile to see a Husqie in your hand. My Grandfather was a Norwegian Immigrant and aside from all the metal working that old blacksmith taught me he was adamant that treeworking saws come from Husqvarna. Now you just need to put a Panther bar on it!
Ha, finally. Not sure if you were one of the many who I suggested this under the screen name New2Trees (many posts on the buzzboard) to about 4-5 yrs ago. If you have some insider contacts at Husky I have another freebie. Take the battery pack and add a voltage multiplier and phase converter ( I assume they use an A/C brushless motor) then they will be able to run much smaller wires between saw and pack. This would enable the use of a magnetic connector between saw and pack ( a simple comparator circuit like a CGI would trip power a thou of a second if the wire were cut) which would be another time saver.
Really, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I very much appreciate the effort, the footage, the drone, the time, the editing. This is super cool. Exciting, engaging and educational. Thank you.
Sorry, I’m binging August today:). I have serial number 4 of the GRCS. There are ways to do negative rigging and remove all stretch from the rope for those “close to the roof moments”. Great work, plenty of beef in the trunk to load the speed line.
Watching this video my thoughts as follows: 1) You sure have to trust your equipment especially what's holding you up the tree!! 2) One small factory defect in that equipment can end your life instantly!! 3) Thanks for showing idiots like me how the professionals handle the job! Great team & great video footage!
My daddy just showed me this video absolutely love you guys you Are The Greatest And I really love the awesome view’s really cool Battery Saw too absolutely loved everything big hugs 🤗🤗🤗
My first electric chainsaw days were with the 12 volt lead acid anchor batteries. Mostly all with a number 10 and number 8 gage home made extension cords. I did try a portable smaller battery to wear but the motor drainages was to great for the smaller lead acid battery. I do have a beautiful 110 volt big electric antique chainsaw wit a big bold brass name plate and large thumb operated chain oil pump that I hope I can find a collector to own one day. Because of my experience with the 12 volt chainsaw as a kid I became a great user of 110 volt chainsaws when I could find a good one. The electric extension cord never bothered me.
excellent work...i am going to try and get my hands on the t540i ..I would really like to try that thing out. great video August stay safe stay healthy
Safford equipment is where i got mine. Free shipping and i got a free hat and shirt. I love the saw. Using it instead of my t435. Would luv this mod tho to make it super light.
@10:00 (laugh) "...and I don't even have to start the saw!" That's what I love about my T540i! Oh, and I got my Monkeybeaver phone cases yesterday! Can't wait to use them. Got one to keep on the lift and the other for my saddle. 👍🏻
Gotta love how builders put houses right next to trees that would grow to be huge. Endless work that just keeps growing. If the trees aren't cut down before they become a problem, they just become a bigger and more expensive problem
Love the raptor, it's so insanely good and yeh it's always so tempting to say nah I'll just spike, it but you never regret that little bit of extra set up once you're at the top with all your gear ready to go 👍
It looks like that would be the almost perfect setup if they could create an umbilical that is incorporated in the lanyard so you don’t have a second strap/cable to deal with.
Man! So many times it looks like your super close to cutting through your lanyards and lines. I’m sure its the camera angle, but man I’m nail biting at times 😂. Oh, and that’s a badass saw!!
Super beau boulot. Vous prenez des risques en coupant de longs morceaux de tronc. C est tres lourd et il y a le choc. J apprécie la corde oblique pour écarter les morceaux .
Great demo! I'm guessing that this is just the beginning of the battery revolution, and much lighter saws will be around the corner. The local dealer tells me these are back ordered until August. The numbers show it is still more heavy and more bulky than the echo 2511T, because you need to add the weight of the battery you are using to the published weight for the saw alone. There's also the sticker shock of how much it costs; almost double a normal saw when you add charger and batteries.
Armature radio operator here. What's that cobbled together thing you used to launch the rope into the tree at 3:23? Would work great for stringing a temp wire antenna in a tree in a park.
I was missing the videos of Team Hunicke. I was thinking to myself what if you dropped a chunk on the roof. Then seconds later it almost happened. Glad it didn't though! Thanks for another great video. Your video skills are equalled by your tree skills. Both are extraordinary...
I used to climb when I was young in the cold Michigan weather, I didn't last long, they don't make boots and gloves big enough or good enough for me, I hated it ..18yrs old, and now ..11 years ago I moved to Florida and started a tree business, 55 years old ..I don't remember the climbing bug ever bitting me, but it did, love being in the trees now, but I got all my equipment now, fully equipped bucket trucks, dump trailers, bobcat mini skid , kubota tractor , and it dont get so cold that I'm scared my fingers won't latch back to the tree after I send it ..the trees are shorter in florida , retired climbers paradise I call it ...
I don't know how to explain this properly but this channel sometimes is sooo hard for me to watch!!! It's absolutely nothing against August or the team I guess it's the video quality that gets me , every since I was single digits in age I have had reoccurring dreams of defying gravity temporarily going above the trees then plummeting to the ground all a sudden and it makes the bottom fall out of my gut every time and the videos flow together as smooth as many of those dreams it psychologically messes with me, I only have 1 complete leg so the likelihood of me ever being in your position is virtually impossible clearly but its a trip to watch, you guys are amazing.
Would be cool if you could hitch a ride up in a bucket truck someday. Would suggest editing the plummet part out of the script, plenty of fun park rides to glean that sensation from! Keep chasing your dreams.
Just bought it, the DCS 2500T , with 1.4/1.1 mm chain, carving. I wish they had a bar with ball bearing at the front of the bar. I'm told there is only the carving bar at that chain. It stalls a bit with the carving-shouldn't press it too hard. Still, I think it is an excellent arborist saw.
Great work I have wondered why the manufacturers haven’t adapted a remote battery type system to reduce saw size and weight and make it more versatile and a more likely to be chosen over a gas operated saw, not to mention if designed correctly power cord could double as a lanyard
Pellenc ( a French company) did it several years ago. Their umbilical power system includes a top handled chainsaw amongst a range of other tools. It was the only way to get the battery power back then - carry the batteries separately.
My big issue with electric is that they do not cope with rain (Two zapped huskys for me and not accepted under warranty). I still use one, but until they sort this out, you better keep a loud saw in the truck.
Hi mate top video and very informative of your work wish I was there with you guys to experience it all, keep up the good work be safe and god bless you all.woody England
Just another day soaring with eagles. It will be interesting to see how long the battery lasts on the Husky before it needs replacing. Great video work.
This is nutz! You have an extremely dangerous job sir.. and you make it so damn entertaining!
I came here to check out a battery powered chainsaw and witnessed the most incredible "difficult" tree removal I've ever seen. That was seriously impressive.
Agree- saw became secondary interest once it became apparent how informative our host is. For once I’m not ‘wasting’ time on youtube :)

The rigging methods used in this were impressive. Really enjoyed that.
Super impressive little saw. Hadn't seen that umbilical system before. Very cool!!
What an awesome view from your office window!!

Nice drone footage again! You on the stick is a great sillouette for a t-shirt. What a ride when the top and big chunks go down the speed line eh?
the real questions though are, how often do you wind up filling the oil chamber, and how long does that battery last....
Nice work. Always makes my toes curl when you're cutting the trunk in sections it springs back and forth.
Did you get the 540?
You have big stones my son, good job, I hope you make good earnings, that tall timber Urban work a real art, you got it figured out we see👍
Holding our breathe on several of those log sections that were close to the roof. As usual, no damage done, great rope skills.
. . . or, otherwise, you need a roofer on the team.
@@Don.Challenger Sawing skills helped, too. Looks like it is ready for a new roof. Winter shade are hard on wet roof.
100% I caught myself not breathing -- or blinking -- for some of those!
At 11:57 what is a molly and what are they recharging? Is it the battery for the saw?
I used to climb when I was young in the cold Michigan weather, I didn't last long, they don't make boots and gloves big enough or good enough for me, I hated it ..18yrs old, and now ..11 years ago I moved to Florida and started a tree business, 55 years old ..I don't remember the climbing bug ever bitting me, but it did, love being in the trees now, but I got all my equipment now, fully equipped bucket trucks, dump trailers, bobcat mini skid , kubota tractor , and it dont get so cold that I'm scared my fingers won't latch back to the tree after I send it ..the trees are shorter in florida , retired climbers paradise I call it ...
Good video. I like the idea of having the batteries on your harness
I don't know how to explain this properly but this channel sometimes is sooo hard for me to watch!!! It's absolutely nothing against August or the team I guess it's the video quality that gets me , every since I was single digits in age I have had reoccurring dreams of defying gravity temporarily going above the trees then plummeting to the ground all a sudden and it makes the bottom fall out of my gut every time and the videos flow together as smooth as many of those dreams it psychologically messes with me, I only have 1 complete leg so the likelihood of me ever being in your position is virtually impossible clearly but its a trip to watch, you guys are amazing.
Would be cool if you could hitch a ride up in a bucket truck someday. Would suggest editing the plummet part out of the script, plenty of fun park rides to glean that sensation from! Keep chasing your dreams.
And they say, ain't no such thing as a "free ride"😁. It's called working smarter not harder 🤘. Nice letting Damien get up their, what a nice Boss🤘🤙
Just bought it, the DCS 2500T , with 1.4/1.1 mm chain, carving. I wish they had a bar with ball bearing at the front of the bar. I'm told there is only the carving bar at that chain. It stalls a bit with the carving-shouldn't press it too hard. Still, I think it is an excellent arborist saw.
Great work I have wondered why the manufacturers haven’t adapted a remote battery type system to reduce saw size and weight and make it more versatile and a more likely to be chosen over a gas operated saw, not to mention if designed correctly power cord could double as a lanyard
Pellenc ( a French company) did it several years ago.
Their umbilical power system includes a top handled chainsaw amongst a range of other tools.
It was the only way to get the battery power back then - carry the batteries separately.
But it isn't up to Husky and Stihl standard for work. Ok for small treework and orchards. ( A friend has one)
Interesting
Agreed about the lanyard
your videos just keep getting better. keep safe, cheers from Canada
Your work is ART!
My big issue with electric is that they do not cope with rain (Two zapped huskys for me and not accepted under warranty). I still use one, but until they sort this out, you better keep a loud saw in the truck.
Good to know!
Hi mate top video and very informative of your work wish I was there with you guys to experience it all, keep up the good work be safe and god bless you all.woody England
Just another day soaring with eagles.
It will be interesting to see how long the battery lasts on the Husky before it needs replacing. Great video work.
