i heard of this job from a buddy. its cool that it was documented. awesome rigging and team work. would love to learn from a crew like this. 5 stars to a job well done and being safe!
Each and every other person mentioned the climber and crane operator specifically. Like everyone else always does. Running chainsaws and chipping brush is as mindless and DUMB as power washing. Stick to what YOU know; detergents and spray wands. It must have been really important to include power washing in your name. Now we all know you’re a real workin man.
You lead with direct insults then call me insecure? In tree care there are really two crews. Ground crew, and the people doing the dangerous jobs requiring talent. If you stay on the ground you might as well be running a power washer all day. There is nothing to be said about ground crew.
If he's not in a crane or on a grapple, he's usually up a tree. You should check out the video "One Cut Tree" on our channel. He did some serious climbing in that one.
I am going to show to my support crew as the way a large tree operation should smoothly run... one question- why not bypass cuts on the larger butts during crane removal?
Fine work indeed , one question / concern , why did the climber abandon his lifeline after a certain point relying solely on his sidestrop , 2 tie in points especially on a job like that would have been crucial I would have thought ?
Hi Richie, hope I can answer this for you based on my knowledge of doing tree work and being a climber myself for years running my own company. The gentleman cutting the tree in this video I will assume is the lead climber also the owner of the company. I agree with you on having at least 2 tie in points ideally you want 3, now once he was no longer tie in to the top the tree it leaves him with a few options, one is chocking his life line to the trunk as srt or with a friction saver as drt, but good luck finding a friction saver that would fit the diameter of that tree. You can also use two lanyards as two tie in points as you see this climber did later in the video. Hope this answered your question.
Very well done!, climber has some experience in craning out tree's but could use a couple of pointer's such as switch to a bigger saw before getting into much larger dia. wood. Also always start your cuts on the same side as the choker is anchored, you did that on most but I think you were off a bit on a couple cuts. Last tip is on the bigger cuts I many times will unclip my saw lanyard and rig it directly to the tree just encase the saw get's pinched and you need to move out of the way for whatever reason quickly, if the saw get's pinched and it is connected to your harness your not going anywhere very quick or maybe not quick enough.
Unmatched skill level on this one! No way, I would have attempted this job. We have those big "piss' elms here in the midwest. Just like the one you took down, they were planted up and down streets that were small, and the infrastructure was tight. The LOS (Line of Sight) wiring here was showing, and man, it would have taken all the power out of the block if one of those logs hit it. Great to watch this video!
use 2 slings on opposite sides when cutting logs like that.... it wont tip over they go straight up... just saying might help out wont be so sketchy for climber too
Ya. That's a big crane. I didn't see why they would roll the logs more than lifting. But as always. No one hurt is always a good day. They were still smart about it👍
Vince Tervort great point, double tie ins and double chokers are the way to go. We all get to start learning crane work some where and this video is the way I learned to do it but have since improved. Always learning and thanks for watching!
Hello John, It was Stihl 661 and I was so excited to use it because at the time, it was a long anticipated saw(electronic carburetor) and we got a hold of one of the first ones in my area. Love that saw! Cheers!
Great job. Just out of curiosity how come the sling attached to the portawrap was given so much slack causing it go up several feet? Was that done on purpose?
Seemingly the climber and most of the crew do not feel eye protection is part of their PPE. Who needs fully functioning eyes anyway?! It also seems that the climber only needs one point of attachment when cutting big wood. I guess it does take so much time to have that second line set up as a back up in case of cutting through your lanyard.
Mostly time if you don't own your own crane . Company I work for will prep a few jobs for a crane ,then go back and finish . Try to get the most out of the day contract .
Curious from ireland... In the business What would the cost be .. 8k or 10k even Maybe more It's a big unit 3 days Day 1 branch removal Day2 crane Day 2 big timber removal Final answer 8.5k
@@SeattleTreeCare thats a very fair price 1st you have all the branch wood rigged down staff of 4 And road management Powerlines involved V fair price man Great to see a job that is well planned happening I would sit up the block watching that, it would be like a great movie 😃
Still one of my all-time favorite arborist videos. My favorite city in the backdrop of my favorite thing to do.
Amazing work Seattle Crew!!!!
Christopher Morgan we, thank you!
Much respect for the crane operator keeping cuts away from cutters. 👍👍👍
You got that right Peter! Here's to the power of organized teamwork!
You all that ride the sky, have my deepest respect. Stay safe
Much respect indeed!
That was a enjoyable job. The tree company is nothing but first class to work with. I was the operator. The crane was one week old.
Wow very professional. I like the idea of rigging brush and then saving the big wood for the crane on a job like this. Well done
Thank you Carson we couldn't agree more.
Good equipment = increased efficiency!
Here is to working smarter!
Thank you for keeping everyone safe!
Top notch climber, crew, and crane. Also great filming quality 🤙🏾 pleasure to watch all that skill come together
WOW! That a TALL TREE! Excellent team work! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
Awesome job! I love that you guys just get the job done, the climber wasnt dinking around with shiny gadgets, just climbing and cutting. love it
i heard of this job from a buddy. its cool that it was documented. awesome rigging and team work. would love to learn from a crew like this. 5 stars to a job well done and being safe!
bogg54 not sure what’s to learn from the “crew”. Climber? Yes. Crane operator? Yes.
EauClairePowerWashing yeah since that’s not what happened. Might want to check yourself on the stupid comment.
It’s like saying how much you can learn from power washing. You put brush in the chipper, it chips. You spray water, it cleans.

Nice crane work Seattle tree service, like the city backdrop.
Thanks Ace TM we are fans of your work & channel as well!
Thank you for uploading, this is some top notch footage of some excellent work. Good crew!
Awesome enough said I have nothing else to say may God always protect you guys and bless you .
Great job from start to finish...hats off the climber👍🏻👍🏻
awesome, hope one day i can have gears like yours bro...you've got new subscriber bro
Is that Peter doing the removal? Doesn’t he own Seattle tree care!!??!!
If he's not in a crane or on a grapple, he's usually up a tree. You should check out the video "One Cut Tree" on our channel. He did some serious climbing in that one.
I have sawn some of that elm, and it makes the most beautiful lumber, but a little hard to dry. Nice job!
Nice work. I had no idea an Elm could get that big!

Most people don't use tie in points when topping out trees because your tie in point would have to be below you and is just a waste of time.
richie1014 I thought the same, maybe because he had to cut n turn around the tree idk
@@bryanmiller843 roconddohoe answered the question...
Cause the second line could no longer be tied to top of trunk as it was being cut off. Lots of guys don’t use a second line just a sidestrop or 2

Use 2 chokers on the big chunks to avoid the dynamic (side) load on the crane
a bridle configuration indeed!
Took the words out of my mouth.
Not just the big shit....they 1 choked everything....wtf

Nice sitting down watching our MAGIC.
GREAT JOB GUYS.
CRANE CRAIN
Last, biggest trunk section, so gentle, so professional. 🏆
many thanks
Awesome footage ! Nice team work guys !
Incredible video, good work. I was wondering why the big log picks weren't balanced with two slings to keep them vertical on the lift?
no reason thanks for watching
great footage and great work. smart approach with the dual trucks.
Gotta love the pic taken at 5.12 nice backdrop. Thats alot of firewood
Climber is not tied in twice to the tree and does not sling picks properly
Great points , thanks for Sharing!

Superb job! from an ex carpenter, take a bow everybody: Huge respect:

Wow! Nice video, such a great team effort! I've seen a ton of tree vids but really liked this one!
How much did the removal cost? 7 grand?
Very close, this job was $6k plus tax and that includes grinding the stump out (grinding mulch left ionsite)
Thanks!
5:11 You used to be able to see the downtown CBD from here......
What’s cbd?
Iv never been on a job like that looks amazing. Ruffly how much would a job like that cost to do?
They said 6000.00
How old was that tree? It had to have been pre-existing when those homes were built to attain that size, right?
Mighty big twig ! Helluva job, boys ! Wish I could've been there to watch.
WOW!!! That was totally Awesome! Great camera work.
Why don't you guys use double choker on the large bottom pieces when placed at opposite sides the load has no choice but to go straight up no movement

INCREDIBLE JOB.
How old was this tree ?
Nice job, great crane and climb work!!! Greatings from italy

What was the chainsaw used at 4:41?
Hello John,
It was Stihl 661 and I was so excited to use it because at the time, it was a long anticipated saw(electronic carburetor) and we got a hold of one of the first ones in my area.
Love that saw!

@@petergruenwoldt6465 why only 1 tie in {flipline}? not hatin at all, just look like a hi profile job. nice cuttin
@@patrickjwalstonsonstreespe380 good point.
Great job. Just out of curiosity how come the sling attached to the portawrap was given so much slack causing it go up several feet? Was that done on purpose?
no reason, sorry you all had to see that
that tree was in the middle of the road???
This is such a rad video guys I just came across it!
What a pleasure watching these guys work! How tall was this tree?
120'
Dangerous tree taken down well, good climbers & crew.
Thanks for the compliments Robert!
nice video/take down, clean, good flow.
any wood work came out of the big pieces?
the best huge tables very cool!
Brilliant work!! Greetings from Michigan :)
amazing crane skill. very smooth

great points, thanks for your kind comments.
Why did the best part go to the landfill?
it did not, it got milled into tables. the saw mill company uses containers for transport.
Any idea what the cost of removal was??
$6000
@5:40 He walked that powerhead like he was just out on a Saturday walking the dog...........SWEET!
Everything Looks Good But I think if u had a rigger and some radios to communicate with the crane operator would be better.
way better, thanks for the comment.
What a job! Video was excellent too
Thank x 2!
I look forward to more from you guys...I appreciate the guys that get there stuff in film for people like me to watch and learn from
Ok, when did they start letting climbers ride the ball in Seattle?
What do you got the cam guy in the bucket and the td guy has to climb? NO reason not to have a picker on that job.
thats a big 10-4
why is that porta wrap 10 feet off the ground....
not really sure, but I was happy when the crane showed up.
GIT SOME BOYS!!!!! The cut @ 4:49 was a thing of beauty
Smooth work good job guys! Team work great equipment.
I wonder how much did you guys charge for this job
$6000 plus seattle tax
Very good cliber arborist, Well done!
Thanks man!
Great job but why ?
Best moment - 5:11, nice Video, nice work, Respect
Awesome job Seattle !!! Well done ! Quiet freaky at 6´30 ;-) cheers...
Thank you Thomas! We dig your videos!

Great watch,,, i really no went what in to all that... for all involved.....Smashing job..
Nice job, nice equipment!
Monster. Nicely done.
Thanks Dan! Appreciate it!
After a successful day with no close calls, high or low, I’ll bet the crane operator doesn’t pay for a single beer. 🤜🤛
ha ha
Great job. Everyone played there role right safety first 👍
20,000$ might cover it....puttin all the equipment to work plus a climber that good...priceless
Thanks for the comment.
This job cost the customer $6000 dollars
I'll never complain about mowing my lawn ever again.
not sure why u would strip the tree before crane, must be powerlines, but big tree nice work"
Mostly time if you don't own your own crane . Company I work for will prep a few jobs for a crane ,then go back and finish . Try to get the most out of the day contract .
just trying to save money for crane rental. now we have our own crane so its all good.
Looks like the Wallingford neighborhood.
boom! we love Wallingford
Great job.Well done.
amazing, greetings from indonesia
Tree work is no joke! Peace!
Peace!
No one uses eye protection!?

In the business
What would the cost be ..
8k or 10k even
Maybe more
It's a big unit

And road management
Powerlines involved
V fair price man
Great to see a job that is well planned happening
I would sit up the block watching that, it would be like a great movie 😃
Only using the short fuse.. Might be dangerous without a climbing rope..
thanks for your comment. are you talking about only climbing with a lanyard?
Very gooood job .....👏👏👏
love the riding on the crane
Nice working 🌲
Awesome jobs guys.
