I was so glad to see someone else coming down a tree into a tangle of branches and ropes. I've been asking myself how come they don't show the awkward rope-tangle lanyard-shuffle branch-dance on TH-cam arborist videos. I was relieved that it happens to other people! Thank you! Good job on the video.
Good to hear, man. I know what you mean: TH-cam videos can tend to hide the gritty realities of things sometimes. That was one gritty job! Anyway, good hearing from ya man
You handled the situation well, I think. That’s his prerogative to hack on his own trees. Love the way you use those snap cuts and the satisfying cracking sound when the piece is broken off. Need to work on that myself. Also what a sweet dog…thanks for another great video. 👍🏻
Nice work Spencer. Your dog looked happy to get to tag along. I was thinking about getting one of those gas powered pole saws for pruning my old apple trees but, I decided to just use my Echo 2511T and my 14’ apple ladder. Have you had any snow out there yet?
That ladder method is a good one: you get better, more precise cuts that way. The pole comes in handy when there are thorns between you and the cut :) ... no snow yet but it's in the air!
Excellent topping....joy to watch. As far as the other work being done by someone else, even the client, that would have bothered me. I stick to my word 100% and expect the same. Do your written contracts account for that?
My contracts cover a number of things but never everything -- at one point I had a contract that seemed to me to "cover it all" but I thought it was too long and kind of annoying, so I removed a lot of stuff that seldom comes up
@@metaspencer I can understand that. Did you avoid the one guy from this video, the one that agreed to have you cut his row of pines then did it himself without first consulting with you? (I would have avoided him in the future).
Awesome, enjoyed the opening and the powerstroke running in the background! lol. Ill prolly never stop commenting on that. I am glad I went down the welding path, but man I still dig the trees. (My wife says no, "too dangerous") 😂
I mean...if the tank had exploded at least it would have been a heck of a video ending...🤣 Glad to see another set of jobs performed by the one and only metaspencer!
That there black rope is a bargain basement Amazon special ... total junk but I love it for lowering light stuff a short distance. Will prolly rip in two tomorrow. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0924L6PVP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should have educated him on why topping coniferous trees is bad and walked away. That tree will fail in the future from the decay or extra weight from the branches creating leaders.
Interesting point of view and I've gotta agree with ya. Great perspective: always better to walk away from jobs that compromise your knowledge or professionalism. That took me a while to learn. Thanks man
Pines are no more than a 3rd off the top or its dead. Id like to know if it dies. Maybe a future video lol. You made the right decision thats his tree to pay you to kill lol. I think the shrub row was to get you there and then ohh while your here can you top my peffect spruce lol.
The guy from the first tree may be waiting for a new top to grow spontaneously. He’s going to wait a very long time 😁 Besides, asking you for a job and doing it without telling you, that’s not right at all. The customers sometimes... 🙄

What a life. Good for you!
Enjoyed the ride along! Love watching & listening! God bless!
Thanks Loren!
They call you cause they need a thing done. You’re the guy he called & you can do it.
That’s the Awesome Attitude.
Stay safe
Yup, that's how it goes out there ... take care man

Thanks buddy! Yeah nothing beats a good snap cut
I was just giggling imagining a ground crew going "BANG" every time you dropped a log near that tank :-)
Nice work as always.
Yeah mighta scared a few people off the job :)
Nice work as usual my friend.
Thanks buddy. Be safe out there … and have some fun!

@@gregblackburn4280 Oh you know it: I'd never work for that guy again. Gotta pick your customers
@@metaspencer Same here.
Good video👨🔧
Thanks 👍

Just need a bigger beast with some dualies like you have!
@@metaspencer Nah, *but you can always do a dually adapter kit I think 🤔. Also, mine is not 4wd, so I think advantages are fewer off-road. 😆
@@synago_scribe Oh dang, I'm in 4WD just about every day ...
My 1990 could use a disc brake conversion
@@metaspencer Definitely, That was a pleasant surprise buying the Ram. My Chevy needed the drums replaced but I just kept putting it off.
Another entertaining video. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Just curious, do the power lines not bother you as much as the tank?
That job was just one big accident waiting to happen: power lines, propane, the house ... too many targets!
@@metaspencer Know your limitations.😁
Thanks!👍
Awesome video brother
Thanks for checking it out man
I mean...if the tank had exploded at least it would have been a heck of a video ending...🤣
Glad to see another set of jobs performed by the one and only metaspencer!
The blast might have helped with the tree :)
Nice work
Thanks buddy
Nice video great work that black rope you were using to lower with what kind of rope is that

I like your companion today, great seat heater but not that great of a ground crew!
Yeah, gotta train her to fetch BIGGER sticks! :)
@@metaspencer That would be awesome!
this line clearance guy would be proud!
clearance, not appearance

I'll have to check out that tree as time goes on ... good idea! Thanks for the insights.
I’m pretty sure we got the same safety lanyard 😂😂
Let’s hope it’s a good one!
Do you ever get any crazies that don't pay, or say u did a crazy job and u did it wrong.
I'm sure it'll happen but so far I've only had one no-pay over the years ... now I prolly jinxed myself! :)
That's what i did for the dude 😃👍

Ya never know what will happen out there
Every one of them little pines he hacked in half will now grow into the primarys and the power company will eventually remove them amyway 😂
Yup ... growth will be wild
Even though dude did most the job.... you got to spend more time with your dog.
You said it man
I'd have been happier with some plywood over the propane...
Great point! plywood goes a long way
What are you gonna do ? He will now call you back later for something else walk away = no money later
You said it -- he later offered me another removal across town at a rental property. Thanks man
@@metaspencer some of these guys will test you gotta find the line and not let them cross it tho
