I’d say good eye! I got 59! I paused when said if anyone wanted to do so an count. I did out of curiosity. Hit play after and he stated he got 58-60. So we’re both spot on bud!
Wellllll I got 84!!!! Must be a liiitttlleee too early!! Hahaha. Just kidding, I got 55. It was getting a little hard at the outer edge and I admit I started guessing if it was a line or not!
You are poetry in motion bringing these trees down Chris getting 20+ ton trees to go more or less where you want them, another great video thanks Chris.
I froze the video and counted several times and the best number I could clearly count of the tree rings from the stump is 54. The pond could have been there for many years before the tree sprouted and began to grow. But still 54 years would take it back to the mid 1960s which is still pretty cool.
Nice big pine! A quick fact you might be interested in......... In New Zealand, "Pinus radiata" is an introduced tree which grows exceptionally well. A tree that size would take 20-25 years to grow. They are then felled and the majority of the logs are exported whole by ship. Which is why we have some of the largest man made forests in the world. Like you vids, keep up the good work. Respect for NZ.
When a tree make struggle against the EC250 then you know she is stubborn! And I really love the crunching sound of you taking off branches. Just like a big dog grabbing a muskrat! ;D
This is why your videos are so captivating and interesting, because you explain so much about your project. Also your so good at what you do, HA!, your simple and very detail in every job,,, Thanks Chris Keep them coming. OOOoooO P.S. I hate when you skip a day!!!!LOL!!!!
Glad to get here within 5 minutes of download. Lots of boards in that 60 yo Pine. All of those tree roots bedded in the pond are making it as hard as digging boulders. Good days work there,, dam cleared off and logs cut up.
Mister Pro the Fessional, you're doing the right things to make it happen! No rushing, cutting the necessary amount of roots, constantly estimating and guesstimating... Keep this up Chris! Not rushing really saves time! :)
Yep !! Opening on up now , can start to see a little shape starting to form !! Ain't nothing fast about that , when you have to dig them up, drop them , drag umm , and cut them all up by yourself !! lolol... Takes a minute ... But, you got a good hole in it now , should be able to move a little better now. Coming right a long now Chris !! Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening... On too the Next !!
I am just a viewer but here are my top videos, fire, water, and ponds. Also, love watching you take down trees. I wish I knew more about dirt-moving because it seems so slow at times but all I have to relate is me in my sandbox with my Tonka toys. Taking the muck out of ponds seems so inefficient. Keep up the videos!
I can’t wait to see the finished product of that pond and you still have a lot of work to be done but anyway brother another great video and thank you for taking us along every day on your journey to work so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming Chris
That was one nice pine, around my grandparents house was planted by his grandfather ponderosa pines about 30 in a row lining the drive that wraps around the house to the back then continues then makes a 90 to the equipment barn it protects the house from the winter winds in upstate NY. That is almost as big as those
What a machine, I want one. No idea what I would use it for, but I want one. While the soil was being moved I was looking for skeletons, you could hide a lot of bodies with that machine. Lol.
I just bought my first excavator after watching your channel for the last couple of years. After a week of using it I have learned I need a lot more practice. But I will get there.
That's what I've run into on my pond. Water roots on the trees which are mostly just small water Willows but I do have some big sweet gums to deal with two
Sure enough there was a pond dam. The trees might be big but no match to miss Volvo. This is a perfect example why you order that combination of bucket and thumb. You can direct the tree.
I counted around 65 rings, but could be more or a few less. Wasn't sure I was counting them correctly until you said how many you counted. Was a good age . It is interesting to see how weather and other trees affected the growth.
Chris, yes I counted 56 growth rings but trees sometimes have two growth rings (autumn/spring-summer) growth in a year depending on moisture/temperature seasons available though was next to water. Being on water would say are true 56-60 years old. Hard cambium layer is caused by drier/slow times and soft cambium layer quick growth time.
I get so engrossed watching you wrangle those huge trees My hand keeps moving like I have the joy stick and am moving those monsters . Great work as usual .
I count of 54 years :) that is a good spot for the tree if it could grow a half inch a year! The skinnier outer ones were also because it is getting to be so large, it takes more to grow each year since the surface area (cumcomferance) is wider, and the tree is taller!
A Chris it's your good friend in Las Vegas to ever watch the show Gold Rush you've been doing really good with all your jobs and everything and your videos keep up the good work
We have some huge pine trees up here in newhampshire and I got some big ones in my yard .one we took down about 10years ago and that one was at least 3to4feet across nevermind how big in diameter but the other ones we need gone are about 3foot across maybe 2-1/2 across .damn they get big but it is what it is but great vid bud . godbless and stay safe.
Hi Chris, does the pond have an island 🏝 in it, (off to the right - as you look from your last shot), or is it a crescent 🌙 shape? The trees that you can't make planed lumber from, do you make bark chips - for use in gardens for mulching weeds? Or is it just burnt off?
l got 60 but it's gone 2:30 AM and my eyes are tired. Good job Chris l love watching a professional at work . Now to bed sweet dreams everyone.
I’d say good eye! I got 59! I paused when said if anyone wanted to do so an count. I did out of curiosity. Hit play after and he stated he got 58-60. So we’re both spot on bud!
I saw just 55. Close enough. Tween 55 and 65 years old.
I counted about 53
Diddo with 60
Wellllll I got 84!!!! Must be a liiitttlleee too early!! Hahaha.
Just kidding, I got 55. It was getting a little hard at the outer edge and I admit I started guessing if it was a line or not!

Yep Buddy I counted 56 , but got a bit blurry eyed at one point!
I concur with the count of 54 years :)
ABOUT 56 RINGS....
it gets really confusing in the last 10 years or so when the growth rings are much smaller, but definitely somewhere around 54 to 58
I watched your videos half the day and I feel like I got a whole days worth of work done...
That was one Hoss of a tree, thanks for standing beside it.
I hear he’s only 3’6” tall
Timber! great video, love watching you do tree clearing, extra exciting bringing them down on the dam..
Its starting to look like a pond now good day of work nice job dropping the trees with little work space that you have 😎👍👍
The pond sure makes a difference on the amount of roots the trees have.
Nice big pine!

Any fly-over would not have ever known a pond was there before you started work, great content!

Like the orange "sweeps" protector on BrutusVator 👍👍👍❗
Pond is really taking shape nicely! Land owner made a great location choice for the future house. Looking forward to a drone view once completed.
Wrangle those big trees into submission! That was fun to watch!
"More power!!!!" Looks like you do pretty good with what you have. Anything that can handle a tree as big as that pine ain't too shabby...
This is why your videos are so captivating and interesting, because you explain so much about your project. Also your so good at what you do, HA!, your simple and very detail in every job,,, Thanks Chris Keep them coming. OOOoooO P.S. I hate when you skip a day!!!!LOL!!!!
That's a beautiful tree. Very healthy. Wow
Big trees. Glad you had the big machine to handle them. Looking much better and no damage sustained to the equipment. Awesome.n
Glad to get here within 5 minutes of download. Lots of boards in that 60 yo Pine. All of those tree roots bedded in the pond are making it as hard as digging boulders. Good days work there,, dam cleared off and logs cut up.

Keep this up Chris! Not rushing really saves time! :)
Great job. Some big trees and stumps. More power as Tim the tool man would say. Looking really good.
Man that's some big old growth pines, thanks for sharing Chris
You had me holding my breath dropping those big trees. :) Trees fall on the weak side, that is the side the wind does not blow on.
I think the pond videos are my favorite , Good work Chris :-)

Those were some wet, heavy trees, Chris. Good job getting them to drop where needed! 🙈😇
Chris you’re an amazing operator, you’re placing trees right where you want them. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
You are amazing ! You make it look so easy, I truly enjoy watching all your video's and also appreciate how you always explain the project at hand!!!!
Your track work is amazing. it is a pleaser to see good tree felling in tight spaces. Love it Chris.
That's a good day's work, by any measure. Love the precision felling.
Just as well you understand trees and know how to handle them. Enjoyed this video too. Safe travels up your way
Might want to consider a forestry cage for your machine... Safety is #1.... Love the channel...
I can’t wait to see the finished product of that pond and you still have a lot of work to be done but anyway brother another great video and thank you for taking us along every day on your journey to work so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming Chris
Interesting! Thanks for the videos! 😊

Where about in upstate...I live in upstate NY myself. Winter winds only really bad when it also has 40" of snow with it like last year....LOL
Even though the machine is metallic. The sounds of it biting through those roots sounds very organic.
You had me leaning with you on that big old tree trying to landed on the damn instead in the water. Enjoy this video☕️🍩👍
Looking 100% better awesome work Chris
Geez, that machine is a hoss! I was surprised when you picked up the pair of trees by the root ball.
Like EricO From South Main Auto says " Every tool has a hammer side." Good job Chris.
There's your problem, lady.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!👍🏻
Experience. Tell tale sign of success.That big tree was a few board feet, stubborn old stick.
As always its great to see others working
Youre lucky I was here to help. I nearly tore up my chair helping at 18 mins. lol
Everything is looking good!!
Nice Job , Chris !!!
What a machine, I want one. No idea what I would use it for, but I want one. While the soil was being moved I was looking for skeletons, you could hide a lot of bodies with that machine. Lol.
NOOOOO, why did the video have to end. Those trees were some monsters, I'm sure the mill can use them. Good work Mr. Digalot!
Great content thanks for sharing
WOW, THAT MACHINE IS POWERFUL
Nice to follow this day by day!
Looking good. Have a safe weekend.
I just bought my first excavator after watching your channel for the last couple of years. After a week of using it I have learned I need a lot more practice. But I will get there.
Only thing is seat time.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf recently xD
@Shepard Anders yea, been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :)
@Shepard Anders yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
What kind?
That's what I've run into on my pond. Water roots on the trees which are mostly just small water Willows but I do have some big sweet gums to deal with two
This was a very restricted area but you dropped the Big Bad Boys with ease. Strong 💪 Effort! 👍
What a project, looking great 👍
Looks like just over 50 years. My eyes started straining toward the end.
Very good. Easier with a 250. I'm surprised at how brittle a green wet tree is your side. Thanks for sharing.
Sure enough there was a pond dam. The trees might be big but no match to miss Volvo. This is a perfect example why you order that combination of bucket and thumb. You can direct the tree.
Thank you for keeping me entertained I love nature
Once you started on that pine tree and put the bucket beside it , shows its a big pine for sure
I counted around 65 rings, but could be more or a few less. Wasn't sure I was counting them correctly until you said how many you counted. Was a good age . It is interesting to see how weather and other trees affected the growth.
You know they probably kept the brush cut off the dam for a few years. That would put it closer to 70 years old, or older.
Big trees Big rootballs, would imagine with the integrity the whole thing would have to be reconstructed with that many on it
Wish me could have seen it all gets exciting then stops at the best parts but either way Chris is the man I’d hire to do my work for sure
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲

Hay Chris you all have a market for the gum trees down there? Mostly just fire wood here not many around. Where you all have gum we have locust.
I get so engrossed watching you wrangle those huge trees My hand keeps moving like I have the joy stick and am moving those monsters . Great work as usual .
Gotta love the poopers.
The 250 always surprises me 🤩
trees are nothing for the machine
I count of 54 years :) that is a good spot for the tree if it could grow a half inch a year! The skinnier outer ones were also because it is getting to be so large, it takes more to grow each year since the surface area (cumcomferance) is wider, and the tree is taller!
A Chris it's your good friend in Las Vegas to ever watch the show Gold Rush you've been doing really good with all your jobs and everything and your videos keep up the good work
Making ponds great again!
I’m sure that 220 helps out a lot with the huge trees
He's got the 250 on this site, I doubt the 220 could wrangle those two huge ones.
It looks good.
ETA I'm getting 54 or 55 annual growth rings on the big pine - surprised it wasn't more.
Yeah I came up with 54 too
i came up with 55 also.
I came up with 51
I’m close I got 56.
Súper excelente saludos de charley desde colombia
Tiene un bueno noche, senor.
Good video 😀
Love your channel..nice job!!
The power of that machine is incredibly satisfying.
The Chris units of measurement "fair bit" and "one hoss of a tree" !! lol
We have some huge pine trees up here in newhampshire and I got some big ones in my yard .one we took down about 10years ago and that one was at least 3to4feet across nevermind how big in diameter but the other ones we need gone are about 3foot across maybe 2-1/2 across .damn they get big but it is what it is but great vid bud . godbless and stay safe.
Hi Chris, thanks 😊
OK back to the swamp pond finally ! please
I counted 52 but it was hard to tell when you got out to the edge so the tree started out between 1961 to maybe 1969
Your an amazing operator hope 1 day I can be that good
when ya just got to send it. that is fun rite there. great vids. cheers.
great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Nice work
28:55 Perfect landing
Hello, watching you, AWESOME
18:46. “I gotcha now”. I bet he says that to all the trees…..
Hi Chris, does the pond have an island 🏝 in it, (off to the right - as you look from your last shot), or is it a crescent 🌙 shape?
The trees that you can't make planed lumber from, do you make bark chips - for use in gardens for mulching weeds? Or is it just burnt off?
Some of them trees were big with the roots. Landed them where you wanted.
Good Job Chris
Shoots ! I would have liked to see how you got that last big pine tree out of the pond dam ! How you did it ? It was blocking your way out !!
Awesome Excavator . Great video sir .
My feet were going in knots trying to help you fall that tree LOL
