- The customer wanted two sago palms removed. "Sure," I said. "What could go wrong?" I said. If you ever wondered what happens if you try to pull out a pair of mature sago palms with a 4 cylinder, two-wheel drive truck, this is the video for you.

Who would want to remove a Sago that big? They grow about half an inch a year. That thing is at least 40 years old. Those at a nursery would cost thousands.
I was thinking the same.. What a waste. Cannot enjoy seeing them being demolished.
Exactly! But I think it definitely would’ve been around $400, not over a thousand
Omar Dominguez there’s one at a nursery much smaller than this near me that is 400$
I had no clue they were so valuable, I might have tried digging it out and reselling.
From what I know those type of palms if you replant them they don’t die!
WOW!!!! here in California, Sago that big...easy $1200...and buyer would gladly dig out themselves...
Man those sagos were big, every bit of 40 years old. They looked good, just needed some pruning- it’s a shame the homeowner wanted them removed. Probably could’ve been sold to a nursery for a lot of money
I agree! I wish I would have known their value, I might have tried to resell.
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care Yeah, well if you ever have clients who want some removed again you’ll know. I bet you could’ve gotten upwards of $800 depending on the nursery
@@rogerdickinson9335 800 at the very least.
Hey Brad, this is your chainsaw. How are you? I miss you.
XD Too funny!
That's the nice thing about having a pos 96 f150! Tons of torque and I dont care if the tree hits the truck, just dump the clutch get a huge running start and hope all goes well lol
Haha, sounds like a plan!
I moved 2 sago palms with a 97 Suzuki sidekick, had to dig around it first and cut a few roots first. Was able to transplant them.
I should have dug out, probably would have helped.
I have removed a few trees in my 15 seasons . I would use a come along and ratchet them . Digging and using an axe on the roots . Hard work . I do or look for that work anymore and I bought a small tractor. Keep up the good work!
Now I know who has a tractor I can borrow next time! ;)
They’re gonna grow back from the root.
I was watching and waiting to see if you rear bumper snaps off.
This past weekend we had a Owner/Operator of Petaluma Stumps and Trees (?) grind the stump of our Twin Sago Palm Plant. I wish I had the chance to video the job. He had to return later in the day with his bigger RayCo Stump Grinder to pulverize it. I think he went 18-inches into the ground. I removed the stump debris and I think there is more stump deeper in the ground.
This was painful to watch since i wish i had sagos like that at my house
The poor tree
Yeah, I didn't like removing it, but hey, not going to turn down business! :)
Great edit
Wow...that looked fun!😂 Good job buddy!👊👍
Haha, thank you!
Marathon Watching 4/10/22 Go Truck Go! 😆
You can get a much bigger running start a 15ft running start at full throttle is about what a 30,000lb strap will take without snapping. I just pulled down a 30x60 pole barn the other day it took about 30 pulls.
IDK, running starts are what lead to all the fail videos on TH-cam! :)
I had a job removing 5 of these about that size. I used my tractor with the grapple. Pulled them right out.
Probably a little more power in your tractor than my truck ;)
Well, at least the truck was good for dragging them to the fire pit! LOL
Hey, I was just happy it helped me somehow.
Is that still good to transplant with out any roots?
Well that was a tough one but mission accomplished at the end..! 👍😁
Haha, just barely!
Well those are the biggest Sagos I've ever seen! You're like 6'8" or so, aren't you?
But seriously, the 1812 Overture segment was most excellent. Perfect sync. All we needed was to have it launched (carefully choreographed of course) into your rear window and it'd be a true YT legend!
But seriously seriously: Thanks again for your videos showing the unvarnished truth behind what lawn guys go through, and peaceful holidays to you and your family. Wishing you get a chainsaw in your stocking!
Haha I kept thinking the only thing keeping it from viral status was putting it through a window! :)
How much do you charge to remove those types of trees?
Hey tip, use a good sawzall with a long Diablo pruning blade, to clean ip palms. And help cut the roots, did a few
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
Interesting to watch Brad, being in UK, I don't know that plant/tree, it had a bigger trunk than it looked and deep too, good old Axe saved the day 💪, however you do it, the important thing is they are gone and they are👍.
Nice one mate
Great editing 👌
Agreed, nothing you can't solve with an axe! :)
i like that done that dozens of time over the years
Hopefully yours go better than mine! :)
I did the same thing but I wasn't as gentle, I just backed up all the way to the bush and floored it, went as well as you would expect.
Haha, I hope the truck lived to tell the tale! ;)
It was fine it was a pretty small bush
Really fun tho
Just goes to show, there’s more one way to skin a cat! You’re the Boss, no utilities damage or truck damage 👍🏻👌🏻
Haha, thanks for watching! :)
They have this thing called chainsaw. Ever heard of it?
So just a random question have they started to resurface yet ? Sago palm will almost always pop new shoots up after you cut them down.... they are the wisteria is the Palm world lol
Haha, I don't know, I haven't been back by. Might be a nice science project follow up! :D
Ngl I'd be pissed if I called a professional tree removal service and they sat there and yanked it with their truck for a half hour lol.
Hey Hey Copper Creek! Just letting you know that I appreciate your content! The way you edit these little videos makes them into amusing little stories - and the music you edit in really helps make these videos a fun experience. Kudos to you! I see you! Thanks for another fun vid!
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated! :)
Snowplow attachment on front of truck and job done !
I don't think I would have even been able to buy one of those :)
That's why you get a ford brad! Ford built tough!
thats a nice palm tree, that cost about $500 palm tree where i live. Why kill it 😞
I had no idea they were so valuable or I would have tried to save it!
Time for a Duramax colorado
Still a midsize truck
Might have worked a bit better!
Cooper creeks logging care
LOL I like it!
My Ford F250 Superduty would've pulled out those bushes while being in park...lol JK 👍😎😁👌✌
Haha, would have done better than my truck for sure!
Had to do that a few weeks ago. That ain't no fun 😒
Your truck is beefier than mine, could it handle it?
You were missing 2 things and it might have worked better with the truck. An adult beverage in one hand and a flag of any type on a pole in the back of your truck. Would have popped that sucker right out :) At least you used an ax and not a chainsaw, might have made the video more entertaining lol but you used the proper tool for that job.
LOL too funny!
I hate Sagos... I've got 3 (18 year old) in my front yard that I'm fixing to pull out with my F350. They are planted in mostly sand so I'm hoping it goes well 😬
Ahhhhh Brad, Brad, Brad... You never disappoint. Yanking trees out with a truck, win, loose, or draw is always so satisfying to watch!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
A definite loss on this one! :D
Pretty funny. The key to pulling a palm out is an ax.....
At least when your truck is as small as mine! :)
I'm sending u wyatt😂...look at it this way at least the truck tried and got it somewat outa the ground..so u didn't have to dig around....I wonder if u were on the cement if u woulda had better luck??..
Unfortunately there was no cement/concrete anywhere! :(
arent sagos that big worth quite a bit of money? I know they arent cheap over here in Louisiana for something even half that size
Others have said they are, but I had no idea before reading the comments!
You want mine? Sell them to you for free. You just have to come dig them up.
That was funny
I am glad to hear it! :)
I did this pulled it with a truck and when it came out it went right through the back window
On no!
Pulling palms isn't easy. I see why people post ads for free palms..
Haha, you are correct. "Free, just dig it out yourself"
Drop that little truck into granny low back up to the sago and let her eat lol thing will come flying out. I pulled 6 azaleas this way. Root ball and all.
LOL Good tips!
Maybe deep watering would have made it easier.
Then I would have been working in a mud pit! :D
Look up kinetic straps for next time.
Will do, thank you!
Who idea was it to put a tree by a electric or cable box 🤔🤔
At least it made me decide real quick I wasn't going to be digging anything out! :)
Judging by some of the comments, *every* Ford would've got the job done easy! Fanboys make me chuckle. Not to mention, I brought a large 50ft avacado tree down with a Tracker. Take that, Ford! LOL...
Lol very true! RIP Avacado tree! :)
I pulled one out with a forklift once. It was a bear of a job. I think Sagos are weeds anyways.
Nice! Probably worked better than my method :)
Today Brad learns that there are times explosives are the correct gardening tool!
LOL Now that would have been a video!
r.i.p cycads
Poor things never stood a chance!
@@CopperCreekCuts yep you can say that again
@@CopperCreekCuts but at least they can now rest in peace :)
If that was concrete in the road, I would have tried to pull it out from the road. You would have better traction in the road versus the grass.
Dirt road :(
@@CopperCreekCuts Couldn't tell from the angle. That idea went up in smoke.
I couldn’t watch this. Why destroy an attractive and valuable palm that could have been transplanted. I appreciate that you do what your paid to do but I really think that many of your customers just don’t have a clue.
If they want it gone it doesn't have any value to them, but I understand your viewpoint.
Sharp ave
I don't know what that means but this wasn't Sharp Ave. :(
@@CopperCreekCuts sorry meant AXE
Nice job Brad. I think you need a bigger truck. 🤣 I hate those trees, I refuse to plant them. 👍🇺🇸
Haha, I think you might be right!
Palm trees are beautiful.... so why the removal?
Homeowner wanted the front entrance to be more open.
Any v6 or v8 trucknis fine. The key ladies an gents is to first dig around it. You wont get all the roots but the 20 min spent digging around it an the 10 to strap an pull no reason why you couldn't of dont both trees in a hour.
Good tip, thanks for sharing!
For those like me that cant grow palms here,why did he want them removed?They were beautiful.
Lee Garner Sagos grow slow. These would cost a fortune lol. Idiotic homeowner...
I didn't know they were so valuable, but I did try to talk him into just pruning. He just wanted it cleaner and more open looking.
They are poisonous to dogs
i have 2 and i hate them,
@@buytheredcar I have one on my property and I hate it. I can't let the dogs around it as they are very poisonous to dogs
Silverado 2500 HD 4 X 4 with a Duramax!!! Matter of fact I am going to try and pull out some stumps of mulberry trees that I have cut. Will let you know how that goes.
LOL Make sure to film it in case one goes through a windshield. Instant viral video :)
The laws of physics. If your truck is strong enough, attach to a strong wire/chain and pull slowly. Do not yank. you destroy your chassis.
Oh wow . I wish I could have them Cincinnati Ohio
DC Harrison they’re expensive as fuck when they’re this big too... total waste. They grow well in Dallas but I’d have to pay thousands for these.
I would have shipped them out! :)
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏾♂️ brooooooo..... don't turn your nice new chevy transmission into my dodge's 20 year old problematic transmission in 20 minutes 😂 they're small, but they have pretty thick trunks; i wonder what the root system looks like....
LOL too funny! I was curious about the roots as well, looked like it just kept going straight down.
"HI, my name is Brad from Copper Creek Cuts. Welcome to Jackass" :D
XD Oh jeez!
Poor plant
Good job Brad , you sure earned your fee on this one .🇬🇧
Haha, thank you!
I came to see the destruction of the lawn......next time, maybe use pulleys
I don't have any, but might look into it.
I love watching all your videos. As a New homeowner I'm learning a lot. P.s. you're very strong and hardworking. Respect 🙏
Awesome! Thank you! Congrats on the new place! :)
3:34 leaves axe alone for anyone to grab 😔😂
3:29, but yeah, was trusting in humankind at that point! :)
Very foolish to remove such a valuable plant.
No clue / are you a novice in the business. I will charge the owner a fortune to remove them, but I will carefully dig around the palm and remove it gently. Those palm grown inches a year. those 2 beautiful one cost at least a thousand each at a Palm nursery. What a waste.
To keep in mind next time get a chain and my opinion NEVEFR NEVER park on a clients grass and always park your trailer on the road or drive way and pull from the road so u have more traction and pulling power
How would a chain have been better? I got soft straps so if they snap I am less likely to kill someone, myself, or my truck. Also, the road is dirt as well :)
Well, I don’t really get it why those had to be removed they were nice old specimens. They made a good frame to the that driveway. However always good to see your content. Cheers
Thanks for watching! I would have kept them, personally, but work is work.
😡😡😡😡😡😡
Sorry you didn't get them!
It would be so much easier if you had a 2500 or 3500 or if you want to spend more money get a f650
XD Very true!
What a waste of nice Sago Palms 😑 Could have made good $$$ off those. All those years of growing wasted. 👎
I would of gun the truck
dude, it only takes about 20 min to dig a sago out of the ground plus you can easiily sell it on offer up for a few hundred dollars. dude.
Do you have to be careful with the root system? I want to try digging around mine or atleast really soak with water the day before and then give it a tug with my truck and spare tire method.
Weak
As most 4 cylinder engines are.
