Well done David! I recommend you buy an arborist rope, tree saver, D-ring shackle and a snatch block for pulling down dead trees like I did in those recent #shorts. Pulling that tow strap around a tree is rough on both the strap and the tree. I bought my gear on Amazon and have links to them in the Home & Garden section of my Amazon store, if you’re interested. There is a tall live tree near my shop that I will cut down soon using the rope and rigging to insure it falls away from the shop and not on it. Looking forward to seeing you tackle that next dead tree!
Hey Martin! Thank you sir. Well since most of my gear came by way of your recommendations, It's only fair that I keep up that trend. I'll get me a set for that other tree. Don't be surprised if I send you a personal email asking for tips though. ;) Thanks for watching, my friend!
My son is even talking about enjoying your channel. You keep everything calmly narrated and explained while keeping the action going. Great job, David!
Thank you for letting me know, that Logan! Reaching the kids in a positive way is very important to me. I really appreciate it, my friend. Have a great weekend! :)
Good work David. Kubota 💪!! They call those dead limbs widow makers for a reason. 😵
True, Brad & Deb! These alders tend to explode more than they barber chair so it's either do it from a distance or erect a level 10 containment field around them. I don't have the latter tech available, so distance it is! :) LOL Thanks for watching, folks! :)
The neighbors dog and chickens sure were interested in your work! 😁 Good job on the tug of war with the brittle trees! Sure are a hazard when they come down in pieces!
Hey Dave! Yes and these Alders always come down in pieces when they're too old or too dead. ;) The neighbor dog there loves to be in on the action. Before the new fence on that side, he'd crawl through and come over to play with my kid. :) We've got really nice neighbors. :) Thanks for watching, buddy. :)
Thank you for sharing with us, fully support from us to you, Please take care
Thank ya 😎
Nice work! We have a few trees that we need to clean up too but no fancy tools to do it, lol. We waited so long with one that it slowly lowered itself until it laid across our privacy fence, lol! It didn't even break anything, we got lucky! Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks for watching :) Yeah having the right tools is really helpful. I'm very happy to have this tractor and everything else I need to tend to the land. I'm glad your falling tree didn't harm people or property! Thanks again! Cheers!
Nice work, David! Good advice and a smart way to manage the situation. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Lucas! You guys in the comments are helping me think about even better ways to tackle these types of projects, too! Thanks for watching, my friend! :)
Good job getting the tree down! It sure was rotten. Be safe out there and take care!
Thank you! These Alders are a strange species for sure. They're quite hard, even when they begin to rot and very brittle. Thanks for watching, Ben!
Good job! I have a tall dead ash, leaning and hung up in another tree that I was hoping mother natures wind would knock it down over the winter. Once again she let me down…lol…soon I will have to get on it and do it myself. Nice video. Thanks David.
Hey Jim! Thank you, sir. Mother nature blew it into the Maple and then gave up. LOL I guess my Kubota's better than mother nature! Thanks for watching and take care, my friend! :)
That was some really great advice David. If it doesn't want to go, don't force it.
Thank you, my friend! :) And thanks for watching, Gary!
Depending on how your ground is, be careful to watch out with the wheels of the tool rack. I forgot to raise them several times, so I learned the hard way. Enjoyed it as always David.
Thanks, Tom! Yep, I forget all the time too. Luckily it hasn't been an issue yet and I've been all over the place with them down like that. I need to remember that though. I appreciate you watching, my friend!
David, good safe way to drop, I have 3 30’ straps hooked together and drop trees the same way. Take Care 👍🏼🚜🪵🇺🇸
Hey, thank you Larry. These are really good straps. I bought another 30' strap after filming this video. Luckily I don't have that many dead ones on the property now so this method is fine for the occasional ones. I'm going to get the cable/snatch block kit at some point to at least see how it works! Take care, my friend!
Hey David, great job getting that old tree down. As brittle as the tree was it would have been dangerous to work to close to it. You got it done the right way.
Hey Joey, thank you buddy! These dead Alders always make me nervous to be around. We get a lot of wind down here, especially through this part of the forest and those trees can literally explode at any moment. The best way to keep it safe is to keep taking them down and keeping a good distance seems to be a good idea to me! :) Thanks for watching, my friend! Cheers!
You did it !! You were right about it breaking up top !! Boy do I miss my tractors. You be careful out there
Hey man, yep these trees are 100% going to break when they're in that condition. I appreciate you watching! You be safe out there and try to keep warm on your hikes! :)
Thanks friend I appreciate that !!
Great job David 👍 good information on the alder tree. I was surprised to see it fall apart like that. Thanks for the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
Thanks 👍I appreciate you watching, Mitch! Have a good one :)
Great video David! I'm glad you got that tree down. it really looked like a hazard. I really like how you have multiple cameras going and are able to edit them together with the audio so seamlessly. Really nice work!
Thank you, Justin I appreciate it :) Have a great weekend!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors You as well!
You were having a blast ripping down all those trees 🌲 👍👍🤣 have a great weekend
Thanks, Dana! I was tired from a long day already, but it was fun for sure :) Thanks for watching, buddy!
Good da eh!!! Nice job getting that alder tree. They sure get brittle eh and it was smart to set up the pull at an angle. Worked out good for you. Thanks for posting and take care!!!
Yes sir, Mike! Something in my gut told me to use an angle when I started pulling down these dead Alders last summer. It works really well. I appreciate you watching, buddy. Cheers!!
Keep up your OUTSTANDING Work and video Sir 😉👍👌 🍻
Thank you kindly, my friend! You stay warm and safe, David! Cheers!🍻
@@PaleHorseOutdoors 😊👌👍🍻
Great job pulling down the tree, I could not believe how brittle is was and as such very dangerous
Thank you, Joseph! Yeah these Alders make a great canopy for shade and the wildlife thrive in these forests but once they begin to die, they become a real hazard along the trails. Since we have so many of them and they're so densely packed, I'm always scanning for a newly dead one whenever I'm walking or riding through them. Thanks for watching and take care! Cheers! :)
Good video... I'll be doing a bit of log skidding this summer.
Thank you Andrew! Have fun 😁
Wow that is dangerous how they fall into pieces like that. I don't have any chains yet, I really need to get some. Thanks for showing this technique. Have a good day David.
Thanks, Ross. The chains that I mentioned in the lower thirds graphics are good chains. I use them all the time and they're holding up really well. Take care, my friend! :)
Interesting to watch. The tractor looks like a good work horse!
Thanks, Dan! It really is! I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
Very nice. Hoping to use my grapple once the ground dries up a bit.
Yep, still muddy here, too. I can't wait for summer. :) Thanks for watching, Case!
Awesome video
Thanks for the visit, Dave :)
Very nice job David, enjoyable and interesting and NO SNOW. Take care and stay safe. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, Mike! Yep, unless we have some record breaking weather, the snow is gone for this season here. I'm not going to miss winter at all! I'm glad you enjoyed watching this one. I appreciate it, my friend! :) You stay safe and take care, also :) Cheers!
Nicely Done
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, Phil! I appreciate you watching :) Have a great weekend! Cheers
Great video Mr. David. The tractor looks really cool. Nice equipment
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching :)
Morning David, I'm trying to get caught up on watching videos today. Well done, I liked your plan of attack. Definitely don't want to be under that trying to cut it down. Alder is rot real quick. Looks like rain in the forcast. Stay safe out there. Take care buddy 👋
Hey Kyle! Yeah it's hard to keep up, LOL. Stay safe and dry, buddy :) See you soon!
Nice job. Looks like a nice day up there.
It was! Thanks for watching, Scott :)
Watch your back David 👍🏻. They are dangerous trees to bring down, I wouldn’t want to be using a chain on it, I would be afraid like you said to have a piece fall off while you’re cutting 😳. Take care my friend 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks, Luc. Fortunately I only have a few dead trees left on the property as I removed dozens last summer. Of course new dead ones will pop up, but since there will be fewer I can take more time with them. A few people have suggested more sophisticated tools for this task and I'll be looking to those new tools in the future. Forestry is inherently dangerous, but has to be done and no homeowner that I know of can afford to hire someone every time an issue pops up - lots to learn here :) I appreciate you watching and for your insights! Thanks again, buddy :)
Good job, David! You did some tree kungfu and it snapped perfectly. :) Will catch you on the next felling and hope you have a great week!
Thanks Kyle, you too! :)
Good work David. Based on how it fell, it almost looked like you could have gone over and just pushed that tree over! Sub count is still going up...1K soon. Rooting for you and Ross...I"m sure not betting against either of you!
Thanks, Chris. If it were any other kind of tree I would have considered pushing it down, but I know these Alders and sure enough it broke apart with just a little tug. Thanks for the encouragement, too :) I appreciate it, buddy!
Two things I always need, more time and a longer chain!
LOL too true, Gary! Thanks for watching, buddy :) - Cheers
Enjoy the journey- cheers
Thank you, Bob! You, too my friend. :) - Cheers
You could also invest in a cable and snatch block, that way the tow strap does not rub the bark off the trees you are going around.
Yes a couple other comments have mentioned that. I'm all for doing it right with the right equipment so I'll be looking to get some of that kit. I appreciate you watching and your insights! Take care :) - David
👍🎶🌸🎵
😃🍻
Congrats 75% to 1000 subs 😃
Hey Brian! Thank you, sir! I appreciate that :) Cheers!
dang that thing was rotten to snap like that. Take care of your pulling yourstrap around a tree like that. It wears them out quickly. The bark acts like sand paper You might want to consider a static strap around the tree and (very) large shackle and thread your moving line trap through the shackle. I pull on lets of trees usually caught up, but they are 20+ inches inches in diameters, and have lots of block and tackle setup to be able to pull them.
Hello! Yes, these Alders sure are brittle like that. I really appreciate the info and tip. I've had a few other comments related to better ways to get safe leverage on the tree including some kits with cables and snatch blocks - so I have some research to do. :) Thanks again for your insights and comment. I really appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. I hope to see you here again on the next tree felling video. :) - David
Did you put the legs all the way up on your tool rack when you're driving around so you don't bend them. Looks like they're down in the video.
Hey Robin, yeah I forgot they were down. Luckily it wasn't an issue as I went all over the land that day with them that way. I got to remember to put them back up! I appreciate you watching. :) Have a great day!
How do you like that Dewalt? Does the battery last very long?
Hey Scott! It's okay for small things or quick things like this one cut. That little saw helped me log ever downed tree that's in all of these huge log piles laying around everywhere, so it has value. The batteries last an okay amount of time, nothing spectacular. I have four 6ah batteries that I keep charged and with me. During the summer they tend to overheat quickly and appear to drain quickly. I think this saw is worth the money. Thanks for watching, buddy. :)
That stuff sure is brittle.
It is. I've seen a local arborist climb to the top of a dying one to top it out and then bring it down from the trunk. I don't know if I could climb a dying Alder knowing how these things behave. He's the pro though!
