I once had to take out a huge maple tree and the trunk was prolly twice the diameter of that pine - same situation you had with most of the branches leaning over the highway - but I didn't have a sweet Volvo 210! All I had was my Bobcat 7753. I put the bucket up into the crotch of the 1st branch about 8' up and my buddy started sawing. I was full throttle and full ankle on the lift arms and when he cut far enough, that sucker cracked and settled back onto my bucket, but thankfully I was just enough to keep the tree from falling on the road - it started to fall to the right, taking me with it and about almost 1/2 way to falling on my side, my bucket came free and I popped back onto all my wheels. Bent my lift arms out of whack and thankfully another buddy of mine with a Link Belt was able to log chain across my bucket and 'tweeked' me until my bucket was flat on the ground again, saving me several 1000 dollars! :-)
I love seeing you push over trees and picking them up. Its amazing the power these machines have. Do you think you could make longer videos? I wouldnt mind it if you just left the gopro to record for maybe an hour.
more money than sense !!!!!! cut an oak tree down to save a crappy building, the oak tree would have be worth 1000's of dollars in a few years, and looks a lot better on the eye !!!!
I've never understood opinions like these. There's plenty of trees around. And oak isn't really valuable, not like pine trees and the like which you build with. Oak is really only used decoratively for furniture and the like. Demand isn't really high
+imchris5000 Way cool. at least that puts those to rest that think all is wasted. There's also good money in those barns that cuts. I'm not sure what they are 1 3/8 or 1 1 1/2 by 12. especially if on the rough cut. can easily treat them too. good on you man keep up the great videos
Hey Liyd Dig. What is your favorite machine? Excavator, backhoe, skid loader, bulldozer by model, make, and year? just like to know, Yu seem to collect classic metal.
I've never operatet a machine with those quick couplers, so therefor I just forgot about that. Because regular machines mostley are build without "self destruction" :-) Ofcorse longreach will to could reach the cab I think.
Hey is there a support group for your subscribers. I'm a new subscriber I think about a month. But in a month I've watched most of your videos and I think I'm addicted
You know you should probably put a hard hat on the saw dog there. Just by the off chance he does get killed or crippled it might help in court. Imo. You know I dig s/w and we are Osha certified but if I dig a ditch and it's not safe and someone gets killed or hurt, if it's bad enough I can get charged with criminal charges depending what it looks like. And if u dig a hole and someone falls in it, doesn't matter about safety, orange fence , metal fence, super magical fence, doesn't matter they are rich or dead. The shits getting tough fellas the only proper way is not to leave a hole. Or pay a security guard to gaurd it till we finished. Maybe u guys should brush up on some safety. But it doesn't matter because by the time u see him your guilty. They are sneaky basturds
Sir you really do a good job with your videos....for the most part. I realize you can film and upload whatever you wish but I believe if you didn't curse so much, even more would subscribe to your channel. I'd invite you to follow a fellow chanel owner who really does a great job . You might have more "followers" but "cotontop3" really does a super job that one would encourage their family to subscribe.
Wow that pine tree was a real history. I am not a tree hugger but I do like to see really big old trees saved.

dang dont you wish you had all that on camera? lol
Great video, love the action!!!

I do not like working around old house places because it's very easy to ruin a $1,000 set of tree cutter teeth on a piece of metal.
Excellent video.... I use to cut tree's too.
That was a beautiful full of life tree, why would they want that gone!!!
I love how people wine about a tree.
haha that second tree grown right up against the motel 6

i need to know what mill you would take that tree to because thats about 20 bucks worth of wood to me....
letsdig18 give it 50 years to grow on !!!! i wouldn't give the shed 50 more years.
+dan katla sharpe dammmmnn dan!!! back at it again with no chill

It's a shame Chris has already got rid of it, he could've sold it to you for $5000
You need a woodcutter equipment on your excavator Chris for that tricky trees, it works faster than a chainsaw 😂😛
hahaha!!!! hey thats a better job of cutting than stevey coulda done anyways
love the vids..But with all the decent saw logs left..... You need one of those portable sawmills. People pay for rough wood and special cuts.
my uncle has a woodmizer and he makes a ton of money making 40ft slabs
a large sawmill does not make super long cuts so thats the real money market

they are going to the mill,. owner is keeping some to have milled himself

You'll be back in a month to knock them damn buildings down! haha
some people, I swear!
wouldnt be the first time lol
As long as we get to see him do it haha :)
That's a bloody shame… : (
Stupid question bu, can the teeth on the bucket touch the front window or will it not fold in that far?
Standart machinery will not could reach the cabin.
A regular pin-on bucket will not hit the cab. Add a hydraulic quick coupler and it WILL strike the cab.
I've never operatet a machine with those quick couplers, so therefor I just forgot about that.
Because regular machines mostley are build without "self destruction" :-)
Ofcorse longreach will to could reach the cab I think.
Can you put up a video everyday like a vlog
haha id like to but i just dont have the free time for all that
PPE ?
Hey is there a support group for your subscribers. I'm a new subscriber I think about a month. But in a month I've watched most of your videos and I think I'm addicted
Aren't you glad you joined. We all are addicted. The Men and.......and the WOMEN.
Owners shouldn't be allowed to own that property. Not fit for it.
Chris, I am surprised that neither one of you are wearing a hard hat.
A hard hat won't save u from a tree
You're right about that JB
hey he's a gettin right after it
Hillbilly Heaven !
cut down 100 years of shade but don't scratch that pile of bricks....something wrong with those people.
Zero safety equipment...not surprised

The guy with the chainsaw, no eye and ear protection no safety saw trouser, it looks to me unsafe working
I used to set down with my small grand children and never worry the talk. when you use bad speech in a public forum it hurts the post
first?

your posts were a lot better without all the cussing. just proves this country is headed down hill fast
Chris' cussing makes it funny as hell! When's the last time you heard "there's a mess of shit around here" ? Lol
I like the cussing! I'm an operator myself and deal with the same fucking shit every damn day
