2 brave and masterful woodsmen undertaking their hugely responsible yet challenging occupation. Good to see your excellence posted on TH-cam and gaining the recognition most deserved.
been a climber for 13 years and done more than my share of monsters. its always great to watch another professional getting it done safely and in orderly fashion. love the communication and rigging hardware. commendable job
Admittedly I know nothing about logging or tree removal, but I must say this vid seemed like a showcase in professionalism and safety. Well done gents.
Iv'e got to say you guys are the best company in the world, iv'e worked as a climber for 6 years, watched countless videos and companies and you guys are the best out there no doubt, if i ever come to holiday in australia i'd pay to watch u guys do work, even work as a groundy for free just to learn the techniques :) Awesome
I find these videos extremely satisfying. The amount of skill and determination it takes to do this kind of work without damaging property or killing people.
Sir you are perfection when it comes to heavy rigging and tree work. It is an inspiration to watch you and so informative to a newer climber. Please make more videos so we can possibly learn and gain confidence by watching the most impressive removals on film.
I always appreciate a good crew knocking out lumps of wood. Laying your logs flat is a sure sign of lots of experience and good technique. Top job fellas.
Fair play, brilliant to watch. Being a uk tree surgeon myself those sorts of tree dismantles are few and far between. Brilliant 2 see a pro at work and also a gr8 groundsman.
As a rigging ground guy this is my most favorite video it reps so hard as a team work situation every cut floats away. As it should lot to watch and learn from
He’s the best alive bottom line some of us do this for fun some of us do it for a living he’s the best but the ground crew is also the best group effort
Tree removal people are underrated as modern heroes of the labor force. Not many people are capable of doing this kind of work day after day with such strength, skill and agility. Interesting that they went for wood chips instead of firewood with ash being such a great btu wood. Anyway, still awesome mulch enough to practically cover a square mile!
+Richard Federico actually, most tree removal companies are owned and operated by hacks that just woke up one day and decided they would open a business. Probably upwards of 95% of the companies out there are down right terrible and scary to be around. Guys like this are in a league of their own.
Yeah, I could see that with landscaping as the thought has even crossed my mind that if things got bad at my job, I might try to start a landscaping service. However, if you've even seen my lawn you would think twice. My lawn is comprised of seven different kinds of weeds...Lol! I could push a lawnmower though!
+Richard Federico a "Mountain Ash" isn't actually an Ash, it's actually a Eucalyptus (well, the "Mountain Ash" in this video is. The local "Mountain Ash" where I live in Canada is in the Sorbus genus.. still not an Ash.)
It was a pleasure meeting you the other day in Mount Dandenong. I will definitely be telling the Tree loppers of Sydney to jump on your channel and learn some techniques from you. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Agreed, I had to skip forward until the music turned off... almost muted the video or skipped it altogether. I didn't come to listen to someone's preferred music....
Graeme McMahon and Jerry Beranek teaming up for a video. The 2 giants in the industry for big time treework. As far as I'm concerned, anything these 2 guys say should be considered the gospel truth of treework.
I used Bashlin Tree Climbing Spurs to climb poles and install cable TV, I used tree clmbing spurs because they were longer. I gaffed out several times but never fell, but those were telephone poles, there was no way I would ever climb a tree that big around, especially dead! My hat goes off to you my friend!
Great job guys. Most impressed with the ascender. Made me realise how out of touch I am with the industry. When I used to climb we used to have to haul ourselves up with a prussic knot. Fine if it wasn't far between anchor points, but a big tree like this. I miss my climbing days. Thanks for a good video. :)
Great work man! Iv been doing heavy removals for over 30 years! 200 foot ponderosa, giant ash, and eucalyptus. Palms, oaks and all! Iv seen lots of videos but that dead mountain ash was a hell of a job! Glad that wood was solid!
very nice skills ,im a climber from south west oz and can say experienced,funny the comments about how hard tree climbers are lol. don't forgets there are thousands of guys like us and you don't need to think your a legend. i now live in Indonesia for some years and do climb here but the local guys here blow my mind,no spikes no harness no any thing and i have seen them bring down some massive trees and brought me down a notch ,
From France. I love your job. I learn lot of. There is some bullshit on TH-cam but you or august hunecke are very Well.I do treeclimber but our trees are smaller. But when they are dead,are dead.see your video is good. I stoppe To write it's hard.
7:20 Good job guys good to see you using proper safety procedures I do as I was taught to do and I never deterred from that you can’t or you’ll get hurt or killed. I always kept that in mind I recently watched a video I hated watching it but it was more along the lines of homeowners getting killed I was very saddened by the end that upset because this is what we do in a little joke with you. I used a 660 That high before Climbing but I would actually have the guys start it up. warming it up real good and pull it up to me on a separate Pully ha ha. God bless you guys as always be safe
.I'm proud to count Graeme as a friend. I've been an arborist for 43 years, and am acquainted with many of the world's most talented climbers. Few have ever worked at Graeme's level. He is a legend. The best of the best!!1
Iv been arborist for 8 years now my dad for 29 years before me and my pap for 33 years before that. I love my job. It's not about the money it's about loving what I do. There are few greater feelings than that of climbing to the peak of a tree and looking out over everything. But I have to say. I consider myself to be very good at what I do. But I can definitely take some pointers from this guy. # never stop learning
If the wood has bark beetle in it it has to be kept away from other trees as it could infest other trees so they chip it and get rid of it in a land fill.
SunShine You look to be at the most 25 years old and work for Bristol Investments? What in the world do you know about lumber prices in the US or milling?
SunShine Being a general contractor is no qualification for being a milling expert anymore than being a dentist or cashier is. There is also no way of knowing how many board feet are in that tree, only an estimated amount by looking at it which I would place around 3000 bd. ft. That tree could be cut into hundreds of thousands of turning blanks, something a general contractor would know nothing about as you deal primarily in borg purchased wood. Do you understand what part of that tree is rotten? The sapwood is which is the most useless part of a tree for furniture building or turning, although GC's use it all the time, that's why you think its worthless because you simply don't know wood my friend.
The people that can do this are awesome in my book. I could not be paid enough to climb a tree to cut it into pieces on the way down. Being in that crane thing is bad enough for me. Swaying in the wind and what not. Respect!
+sorin990 what everyone fails to realize is first you have to have a buyer and then you spend labor and time into cutting it and hauling it again and again, when doing tree work, it is just that tree work you price cutting down the tree and disposing of it, any additional steps will cost you money. I have seen the time when we couldn't give good logs away to saw mills.
I took a dead eucalyptus down once. It was so dead I struggled to work out what sort of tree it was. Anyway, the wood was so hard that it stretched the chain clean off of the guidebar. The tree was tiny. I've got the UTMOST RESPECT for you guys. Oh, and we don't have jumping spiders in the U.K..
As an arborist, tackling a huge dead tree like that is a testament to extreme skill and courage
most likely the best in the world

These guys earn every cent they make! To watch them work with such incredible accuracy and professionalism is amazing.
Thanks
This is AMAZING. I do tree work in Ontario, Canada and the next time I think a white pine is big I’ll think back to this. Great video & awesome job.

I agree😂
Try and 880
That's an 88 you kook
And when you buy a new one just for the that tree 😂
You guys are worth every penny, unbelievable!
Awesome video. Great skill in every area of the work being done. Great job to everyone who was involved!
now thats got the smooth feel of one well organised and well supplied crew,
thank you for showing us all how it is done.
Great Job!!!! After making a few of these videos I can really appreciate the time and skill it take to do this job!!! Well Done!
Beautiful.
It's great to see professionals doing right! Thank you for the great filming John Tamania

The gas powered rope winch is not familiar the way the rope feeds through the left side; seems to have a double lope? What make and model is it?
Been doing line cleaning for 21 years and you boys nailed it nice rigging and safe work

Brilliant workmanship/skills again.Thanks for taking the time to film it and share it. :-)
GREAT VIDEO THX FELLAS
hey buckin nice to see you here. stay safe and rig it right. good night
I recently realized tree guys are excellent riggers. I’ve learned quite a bit from only a few videos about rigging.
I don’t care how much you are paying the man in the tree, you’re not paying him enough!
Graeme's exploits inspired me to be a climber enormous respect for the skills displayed please keep the video coming
Too many tree videos have an overburden of music, or, "music." Thank you that we got to hear the work also.
Great video. Great camera angles. Great skills, experience and equipment. Super-cool.
Gadamn that's a big ash dead tree. Great video just bounce the music.
We see what you did there

Wow! That was a tremendously large tree!
You have earned 1 subscriber, just because it isn't a clickbait. Respect.
Most professional work I must say!! Great job fellers!
That music in the background is great for watching this kind of work.
+shnrbtlle18 I see what you did there...: )
+shnrbtlle18 I agree on all counts. That tree was as big as my Cottonwood.
+shnrbtlle18 I couldn't take the music. Turned it off. Otherwise great video!

Fine if it wasn't far between anchor points, but a big tree like this. I miss my climbing days. Thanks for a good video. :)
I love heights and climbing trees but this is making my hands sweat.
These men work more in a day than most of us in a year.
i love watching this guy work. what a master
Nice to see a smooth operation good ground crew makes the climbers job so much safer. 👍🏼
I would like to known the cost involved to remove a tree of this size.
Near ten grand, at the least. But if it needs to be hauled away too, 12000. Maybe.
this was great and the climbing techniques were amazing, you made running up that tree with the spurs on look so easy!
When the professionals do it, it looks easy. Love to see the guy's who say "How hard can it be? I'm not paying someone to do this."
Amazing to watch 👍. This is well above my skill level

Loved your video! I was in awe at the heights you were working. Can’t wait to see more of your videos.
that was awesome...got bigger balls then I lol
great video to watch
Great job gentlemen. Everything about it. You have a lot to be proud about.
You got to be a certain type of person to do that .nice work.
Enjoyed the video. See you're not afraid of heights. Thanks for posting.
Nice. What’s more expensive though? The tree going through your shed or having it removed by you blokes? 😂
Probably the shed. Especially if someone's in it
Awesome video. True professionalism
Monster of a Tree there !
the music is Chemical Brothers from the Hanna soundtrack.
"HUGE" is NOT the word I would use to describe this monster, When I think of a word I'll get back to you,,,,,,,nicely done!
Yeah you just removed all doubt.... I am too chickensh*t to do that job!!! You got guts!!!!
some really cool shots here, good music too 💯🙏👌🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 good job you guys did great. ,🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Stick that through your chipper, Daniel :)
I thought he was joking until I saw the chipper!
Yeah I thought, "ha ha, yeah right... Ohhhh shhiiiieeetttt that's cool"
Topping a tree is one of the most dangerous jobs. He did a great job and no one got hurt.
He's not topping a tree he's removing the tree

you can make shit with dead rotten timber same as that comes from your mouth
@@brendenbrewer2956 stupidity
Total admiration and respect, a pleasure to watch.
Great drop! One question though - why is it all chipped? Is there no resale vale for firewood, wood turners or any other outlets?
+sherbrooketrees Not enough volume? That tree was worth at least $10,000 to a saw mill.
+Tony Rowan the chips can be valuable as well
If the wood has bark beetle in it it has to be kept away from other trees as it could infest other trees so they chip it and get rid of it in a land fill.
