This is definitely a job for a pole saw. Being a land scraper this kind of thing ticks me off. Why is he holding the saw with one hand?? I also have to mention if your stupid enough not to do this with a pole saw. He is cutting from the side not even using the spikes and cutting from top down. This is how you get killed.
As a professional arborist I always told my children, if you ever see someone on a ladder with a chainsaw, start filming because they are about to become a TH-cam star and an ER patient if they survive. You sir are one of the very few lucky ones.
Yessssss!!!! My husband and I are arborists and everytime we hear a client ask if we need a ladder we say ohhhhhh no thank you we want to go home in one piece today !!! I actually had shirts made that have a ladder on them with a big circle and x thru it
47 yrs for me stating at Bartlett for 3 dollars an hour in 1977. When I was a younger climber there were no ladders on my truck. As I aged out with climbing ability I got a 40ft. aluminum ladder which I could load on truck and set against the tree by myself (I always tied in ) Then as I further aged the ladders got smaller. Now I prune ornamentals off an orchard ladder at 65yrs old. Funny thing is I make money pruning small trees than I used to make removing big ones. Did a lot of bucket work but never owned one. Tried crane climbing a few times
Standing on the second to last step of a 20ft ladder, I did an identical cut. The branch shot back into my chest and pushed me off. I landed on both my feet shattering my right heel and split my left heel into two. I didn't feel the pain until I tried to stand up and fell right back down. I had fairly new, steel toe leather boots on so you know they were tight. I had to pull both boots off because I couldn't handle the pressure building up. That pain was horrendous and I could see my fractures trying to brake through my skin as half my heel was in the same spot my Achilles tendon used to be. It took me almost an hour to pull myself 73ft to my vehicle using only my elbows and another hour to drive home where my woman then drove me to the hospital. That was August 3rd 2020. I have 4 screws in my right heel and wore a cast on my left foot 1 1/2 months. I've re-broke my right heel twice and will have problems as I age. Don't be stupid.
Similar for me. 6 ft ladder. I had stopped cutting as it didn't feel right. The branch broke, dived into the road and bounced back into my face. A few cuts and one broken nose. They CT'd my face to make sure I had not smashed my sinuses. I'm luck not to have broke o my jump to the ground, and I lost no body parts...
I was thinking the same thing. Anyone could see that the limb was under stress and needed to have the stress relieved before cutting. I actually thought he was going to get knocked off the ladder.
@@integr8er66 yeah he was about a foot off the ground wasn't he, and the main tree was way on the other side. Still look real shady. Now you can go check out all the tree trimming guys up on ladders. Have fun cuz they get whacked, and some real nicely.
@@integr8er66 there's nothing wrong with using a ladder to get in a tree. But not to make a cut. It's like saying it's ok to stand on an active rail line as long as you're tied to it.
He's lucky, no protective gear at all, ladder is not tied off and the limb should have been reduced in size and weight before releasing all of that kinetic energy.
Everything that you are not to do with a chainsaw. The state needs to take his drives license away as all power tools. Ladies, this man's gene pool needs to end with him.
I HATE cutting in these situations!! Anything green underneath can act like a giant spring, the broken piece can as well and may slap back or small green underneath can catapult up into your face or so many other dangers. Add a leaning ladder and inexperienced operator to the mix and... as was expressed in the comment above so much could have gone wrong. Saws are so fast and anti kickback doesn't really work when running one handed. The don't cut you, think more like a shark bite and tear... yikes
Are you kidding me? How the hell would you reach it if not on a ladder? he sure doesn't have climbing spikes. He did fine but I don't think he really considered if it was in a bind
@@timothymercer3526 Ya use a pole saw on limb that size? I'd do it on a ladder too only difference is I'd tie it off, and I'd look at the load the limb was in and keep my face out of the path a lot more than he did.
I came to the comments to see if my feelings were right,I have no experience at all, cero experiencia,nada,a total ignorant about cutting trees and branches, but I had a feeling that he was doing it wrong, I was nervously watching the video and expecting the worst,thank God he did not got hurt.
Love your safety gear and, "I'm really just a homeowner" skill in cutting that branch. I was worried I was going to see you get slammed when that branch sprung free. You got lucky.
I was out doing line clearance and a guy comes out with a 40' ladder and put it up on a big oak and starts cutting of a leader. Like always the limb hit tip first, the but kicked back and threw the ladder away. The guy fell 40 feet . But it wasn't over...he beat the stem to the ground and the stem fell into the middle of his chest. He became a paraplegic. Probably wished he was dead. I could tell stories for hours as often they come out when they hear our saws.
He also has a very light grip on the handle part way through cutting the limb. Because he is cutting a limb that is pinching the bar, he is at full throttle and the bar is longer than the branch. A stub on the far side that he did not see could contact the tip of the bar, and now the saw is flying back at him headed for his neck and right arm faster than he can react. Nothing happened this time.... I go to ISA conferences; an instructor at one showed us a helmet with a cut in the top. I really experienced climber, he was using a mid sized saw to chunk down a hollow trunk and the tip touched a hard knot on the far side; saw kicked back right on top of his noggin and cut into the helmet. So, no helmet, kickback, get a nice permanent part in your skull. This guy is posting the video with a link? He really needs to get some training and PPE and use it. Also a contractor license, bond, and insurance. If a potential insurer found this clip he would likely have trouble getting any coverage. In most states, if the job is over $500, you need a contractor license or you can be fined. Asking for cash means you are probably cheating on taxes as well. Savvy land owners don't hire the cheap bid without credentials, because the "contractor" might sue the landowner if injured, and the quality of work is unknown. Consulting arborists like myself might appraise badly pruned trees and find thousands in damage. In this case it looks like a willow already in poor shape. Raises another issue: if he is doing this for a customer, and he doesn't prune the whole tree and says that now it is "safer", and another cracked limb falls off and damages property or hurts someone, guess who is getting sued? His business is done before it even gets off the ground. He can get a Certified Arborist credential from ISA (International Society of Arboriculture). With a license and credential, he can charge more as well. Yes, most people start out with just a chainsaw and a truck, but you need to rapidly progress beyond that f you want to be a professional with all your body parts.
Folks at home, never ever ever try this. You have not idea exactly how that branch is going to move. You have to take the weight off first, cutting from the end and working back. Do not assume the branch will falk straight down. If it was hanging in the air and your cut from under first then over, it might fall but even thats risky on a willow tree, it could crack and splinter before falling. This guy was scheduled for a serious injury on this that was miraculously avoided.
Yea, likely dull, as it is a willow. But I doubt that is a pro model saw, and it was being pinched. I have a favorite saw for this, an MS261; would have cut through it like butter in 3-4 seconds, pinched or not, but I would have rigged the limb first and been in my climbing gear tied in above the work. Took him over 20 seconds. May not seem like much, but if all your cuts take 5x longer than a pro, you are not a pro.
Lol no belt, no rigging, no face cuts. Just a man and his saw. Real American right there!! Careful brother! Can get pretty fucked up doing shit like that
Hey guys I know I'm getting a lot of bad comments but I'm just learning I just started two months ago and but thanks for all the for the comments for the safety I appreciate it and yeah hopefully I'll do better
Fair point mate, a lot of us have been there, but take more care. People die doing this. A few pointers to bear in mind: 1, don't use a saw from a ladder. 2, wear a helmet. Its nothing to do with falling objects, the saw may kick back and hit you in the head. 3, pay for some instruction on saw maintenance and use, it'll pay you back over the years and likely save you a lot of grief.
Instinctively my first reaction to this video is "why would you put this on TH-cam, jesus christ" but after watching, you know what, thank you. I feel better about myself, maybe I'm not as stupid as I feel i am. I guess the suspense of waiting for injury may also lend some points. Good job?
Totally a bad idea. God blessed you this time Please be careful and stay off a ladder and always make sure you are high enough where if it does go wrong it doesn't hit you in the face. God bless and I hope your business prospers
Squinting helps give your eyes maximum protection. Cap backwards means the peak wouldn't be ruined if the saw comes directly back at your face. Step ladder saves so much time and track bottoms mean you can head straight to the gym after work, if you've still got both arms. 😮
First off if possible get rope saddle and a lowering line and get above the cut. When the energy changes from potential to kinetic you can always predict what the hell is going to happen,. Tree work is risky business. It's funny how many people think they can work with trees. When the logs start hit the ground you better know what its all about. Be safe out their people. Trees can say so much and never utter a word. He lucked out.
You can use a ladder safely if you tie in, know how wood reacts, know which way its going to fall and tie and lower the limb if necessary. I have 47yrs in the biz starting in 1977 for 3 dollars an hour. I've been injured and almost killed a few times. To all you young and able guys i hope you stay safe and are still cutting wnen your my age (65)

_"The cameraman never dies... _*_because even the cameraman knows to start backing away from a dude on a ladder cutting a large branch under tension, especially when he's getting close to the end of the cut."_*
Kick back is a real thing believe it or not. One minute your removing the branch from the tree, next minute the branch is removing your head from your shoulders
@@yglandscape7703 I'm not downing your video or you. I have done this same exact thing. Just remember, try to start at the end of the branch and start trimming it back before you cut it off. When it has a lot of stress on it then it is very probable to kick back on you. I have had it happen, however I was very fortunate as to not be hurt or killed, but most of the time someone gets their brains knocked out.
Please somebody don't ever let him do that again the whole handful of things could have happened at that moment and they say how fucked up is fucked up
Right Removing storm damage lodged in a tree is tricky and requires skill and the right gear or the odds will be stacked against you. In this case, he didn't get hurt, but the heavy limb probably broke branches that should have been retained to help fill in the gap in the canopy. I would have shortened it up from the ground with a pole saw or power stick, rigged a life line (rope) in the tree above the work and done the branch removal with the typical climber's gear (belt, wire core lanyard, hand saw, chainsaw, as well as a helmet, ear and eye protection, heavy boots and chaps). Brand new, that's around $1,500 in gear for what's attached to the climber not including the chainsaw. And the chainsaw needs to be attached to the climber as well; you drop it, there goes cash to fix or replace it, never mind maybe dropping it on someone or something on the ground. And I would have suggested pruning the whole tree, or at least inspecting it by climbing and observing it up close. All he did was remove a broken limb, damage the tree some more, and left it in an unknow state regarding safety. Also best to work with another person, in which case the limb could have been rigged and lowered to the ground without squashing and breaking other stuff. A selling point of your work is not to heavily impact everything near the tree. He should think about selling the quality of his work, and not just land the cheap jobs if he wants to compete.
Used A frame ladder wrong, no PPE, crap boots, brand new saw, and obviously no common sense on how to use brand new chainsaw… lucky this resulted how it did…
Jesus, fancy putting this out to the world! I don't even know where to start. He's lucky, but if this is how he uses a chainsaw, he won't be lucky for long.
I would have started at the bottom with a sharp blade. Much less potential for " sling" effect, better control over larger sections falling especially when using a latter.

First off if possible get rope saddle and a lowering line and get above the cut. When the energy changes from potential to kinetic you can always predict what the hell is going to happen,. Tree work is risky business. It's funny how many people think they can work with trees. When the logs start hit the ground you better know what its all about. Be safe out their people. Trees can say so much and never utter a word.
He lucked out.
Chain on backwards? Death wish?
Even though I divorced my arborist husband, I'd never want him to chance trimming a tree like this! 🙈
I think he's cute
I agree
😂😂😂😂
You can use a ladder safely if you tie in, know how wood reacts, know which way its going to fall and tie and lower the limb if necessary. I have 47yrs in the biz starting in 1977 for 3 dollars an hour. I've been injured and almost killed a few times. To all you young and able guys i hope you stay safe and are still cutting wnen your my age (65)
Every wrong and dangerous thing you can do with a chainsaw nicely illustrated in one video.
And that kids is something you don’t do. As a professional arborist, we can’t even look at a ladder. Lmao 🤣
I'm not an engineer, but I could imagine, a sharp chain would be helpful.
That saw is full af. Really professional.
The way he stepped up the ladder tells me he shouldn’t have a chainsaw to begin with 🤣
Buenisimo sin guantes, ni gafas,ni casco con pantalla y protector auditivo, nin proteccion anticorte en perneras o pies, en fin un super crack profesional luego pasan los accidentes y nos lamentamos este video es un ejemplo perfecto de todo lo que no hay que hacer couna motositra.
Yes, this is exactly the way they taught us in branch cutting school. A+
Don't know what everyone's so worked up for. He obviously has plot armor.
_"The cameraman never dies... _*_because even the cameraman knows to start backing away from a dude on a ladder cutting a large branch under tension, especially when he's getting close to the end of the cut."_*
This guy is a liability to himself and everyone around him. He is lucky, that branch didn't seriously hurt or even kill him.
Cameraman trying to film a 2000s skateboard video while Tommy Notskill shows us how to hit your health insurance deductible with one simple trick.
Kick back is a real thing believe it or not. One minute your removing the branch from the tree, next minute the branch is removing your head from your shoulders
Thank you 😌
@@yglandscape7703 I'm not downing your video or you. I have done this same exact thing. Just remember, try to start at the end of the branch and start trimming it back before you cut it off. When it has a lot of stress on it then it is very probable to kick back on you. I have had it happen, however I was very fortunate as to not be hurt or killed, but most of the time someone gets their brains knocked out.
Perfect example of "hold my beer"
Please somebody don't ever let him do that again the whole handful of things could have happened at that moment and they say how fucked up is fucked up
Always make an undercut. Stay away from split n twists. Take weight off where possible. Pray.
Right
Removing storm damage lodged in a tree is tricky and requires skill and the right gear or the odds will be stacked against you. In this case, he didn't get hurt, but the heavy limb probably broke branches that should have been retained to help fill in the gap in the canopy.
I would have shortened it up from the ground with a pole saw or power stick, rigged a life line (rope) in the tree above the work and done the branch removal with the typical climber's gear (belt, wire core lanyard, hand saw, chainsaw, as well as a helmet, ear and eye protection, heavy boots and chaps).
Brand new, that's around $1,500 in gear for what's attached to the climber not including the chainsaw. And the chainsaw needs to be attached to the climber as well; you drop it, there goes cash to fix or replace it, never mind maybe dropping it on someone or something on the ground.
And I would have suggested pruning the whole tree, or at least inspecting it by climbing and observing it up close. All he did was remove a broken limb, damage the tree some more, and left it in an unknow state regarding safety.
Also best to work with another person, in which case the limb could have been rigged and lowered to the ground without squashing and breaking other stuff. A selling point of your work is not to heavily impact everything near the tree. He should think about selling the quality of his work, and not just land the cheap jobs if he wants to compete.
Hats on backwards, this should end well. Love watching home owners with a new chainsaw
Wow! This could have ended badly. Darwin almost had another stat.
I was really expecting some crazy cartoon shit to happen here. I thought the branch was going to stay and the tree was going to fall...
That chain must be razor sharp !!!!
Nice ladder safety
Good use of safety equipment and use of best practices
I watched waiting to see the kick back dude all I'm going to say is I climb for a living you are a very lucky man don't learn the hard way
Maybe it's encouragement for more tweakers to make the easy money. A legit business I'll bet.
First time I’ve seen a landscaper wearing tzitzies
Used A frame ladder wrong, no PPE, crap boots, brand new saw, and obviously no common sense on how to use brand new chainsaw… lucky this resulted how it did…
That's one lucky goof
Every idiot that ever bought a farm boss : hold my beer
The farm boss and the steps. Classic
Так никогда не пелите! Ему повезло..
Thank you for sharing1👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you keep working this way, one day you might end up in the forever box.
Jesus, fancy putting this out to the world! I don't even know where to start. He's lucky, but if this is how he uses a chainsaw, he won't be lucky for long.
Muy bien amigo buen trabajo👍
I would have started at the bottom with a sharp blade. Much less potential for " sling" effect, better control over larger sections falling especially when using a latter.
I thought this was gonna end badly. Had all the signs, but gladly it didn't lol.
Landscapers shouldn't do tree work . Grab your wooden rake Hector !
I've never seen a branch cut down before. This'll be gooood!
