The tree was a eucalyptus regnans aka mountain ash. It had been damaged from another fallen tree and it also had decay at the base. It is sad that trees have to be removed but it was imperative that these were. They were not safe!
I would be so nervous with that chainsaw only a foot away from the rope attaching you to the tree--not to mention the possibility of the cut-piece kicking back. You have some serious skills and confidence!
That truly was an epic fell. Great job and it's a shame 60ish people managed to hit the dislike button instead of the thumbs up like everyone else who does this work and can appreciate the skill and guts it takes to safely remove these damaged hazardous trees. Great edit work too on all the footage.
Ralph C they're called wing cuts, they're used to stop the bark tearing down and grabbing your pole belt(the rope holding me to the tree)when the piece falls
Just some perspective: E. regnans can grow to 100 m and is considered to be the tallest hardwood in the world. One tree of this species that CSIRO measured in Southern Tasmania was 5.4 m in diameter. So this is not a large example compared to old growth (>110 year old) trees.
Beautiful....I actually get a rush out of watching a huge tree like that, taken down professionally... I think if you went up about 4 more feet, the FAA, would have fined you for not having wings at that height..
Q1: What are the side notches on either side of the hinges you made before cutting the "felling cut"? Are they to prevent tear-out or help guide the fall? Q2: How did you get the ropes back up to your position?
Very impressive landing those large sections flat. And the use of a vertical speed line as a backup for runaway logs (3:10) was ingenious. How do you calculate landing timber flat is there a formula you use?
Awesome. Could you make a bit of an explanatory video, where you maybe explain the process a bit and the "rope work" you used to secure yourself and catch the falling tree parts?
tetsi0815 hey yeah so we use a Big slingshot to shoot a line into the tree, set up a climbing line and a lowering line usually at highest point of the tree.the lowering line runs through a pulley and down to the ground through a friction device then the other end ties off to the branch we cut and so on. :)
Oh hell to the NO. My asshole puckered up just watching this guy all the way up there. How does the safety system work? Bucksqueeze or fall lanyard, something like that? And what about the saw. I have to refill mine with gas and oil frequently and it’s the exact same model/brand. How does that get taken care of while he’s way up there? One tank of gas and oil won’t do that whole tree.....
Really like 👍 your work, and the Ground Crew, on those Slippery Gum Trees 🌳, what size Bar do you use on the MS 201 T Chainsaw,? Also tree 🌳 Management applications are Top Notch.
Great videos brother🤙 I'm just getting into climbing I've been a ground man for my brother for some time now and starting to climb now. Do you mind me asking what the cuts on both sides of the notch do ? I've never seen that before besides in TH-cam videos what does that do ?
Fantastic and thank you for posting. Since I know nothing about this expertly done job, I am curious that didn't wear any special gloves to avoid any injury. I can imagine that without gloves it allows for better handling of the tools.
good job. I liked the vertical side/speed line while piecing the trunk down, hopefully that job paid for a raptor lol. that was quite the haul with just hand/foot ascender
What's the name of the song? Shazam doesn't recognize it so it's probably something from one of those websites where you can get music such as Audiomicro, or Epidemic or something. But I have those licenses so it's worth a shot...
Michael Morrow If you type "Stellar music apollo" in youtube search it's the first video you find. Then just use a youtube downloader to get the song I guess.
Well Done! I'm envious of your large number of views! By the way, You are in (the Legend) Graeme MCMahon country Know him? or Ace? Graeme is Sherbrooke Tree...and, imo, the best there is, bar none.
rbtree you are correct, Legends aren't born from one Trophy Tree Removal, it takes years & years, there will never be another Legend like Graeme McMahon, I'm telling you that right now!
Do you have any recommendations for hand ascenders for srt? Single or double? I’m going to be doing more srt work but I’m pretty lean and my grip strength isn’t great really burns my arms after a long ascent. Awesome videos mate always looking in awe at you

Great video and your respect for the tree is evident. Good job.

Hi there, the Weather Channel is very interested in featuring your video. Please let us know if you're interested!
The Weather Channel tell me more about how you want to feature my video?
Great ---- We would like to post it to our facebook page United States of Awesome. Please call us at 212-476-0211
The Weather Channel I'm in Australia so that no. didn't work. Do you have an email we can talk?
Apparently the weather channel thinks only epic happens in good ol US of A
This is cool. Good music, sailed down perfect. Fucking huge ash. Beast
Mesmerizing! Nicely filmed and cut (no pun intended).
Gr8 video ,very nice work ,don't let those negative bastards get to you, there are lots of us who appreciate watching quality work
Mark Einarson thanks mate
@@treeclimberharry582 whats the name of the song?

The things that hit The dislike button are nothing more than jealous pieces of pure shit.
Epic tree felling music.
What's the purpose of the shallow cut about 1-½ inches below the main cut?

Noel Clark yeah true this was tiny compared to some
The tallest tree in the world was a regnans, they cut it down to measure it, somewhere
Around 130 metres 😑
does your balls clang when ya walk? takes some brass ones to climb and cut like that! great groundsmen too ! hats off to ya!
Beautiful....I actually get a rush out of watching a huge tree like that, taken down professionally...

Look you got cool you got awesome and than you got this
That's just perfect,fair play boys and watch out Ace!! you've got competition and that's a BIG complement to you both #respect.
Louis van deventer thank you! Ace doing incredible stuff all the time, but cheers for the compliments :)
I'm taking notes. The leash you used while blocking down the wood was pretty sweet.
How much would something like this cost?
Q1: What are the side notches on either side of the hinges you made before cutting the "felling cut"? Are they to prevent tear-out or help guide the fall?
Q2: How did you get the ropes back up to your position?
" Are they to prevent tear-out"? Yes
Great video. Great job as well, right next to the house!
I hope that was milled into usable planks.
treserious the logs were taken offsite in large sections and will be used
@@treeclimberharry582 The timber was most likely burnt on a log fire.
I ever nervous at those heights
wicked video mate. Super cool
Very impressive landing those large sections flat. And the use of a vertical speed line as a backup for runaway logs (3:10) was ingenious.
How do you calculate landing timber flat is there a formula you use?
Thanks mate, if the piece is about one 5th of the height it should land fairly flat 👍
Super awesome experience. Totally loved the climb, and glad there was no injury of the crew. #awesomevideo

nice job with the tree and the video

Stormy Carneal thanks mate the cuts on either side stop the bark from tearing and grabbing your pole belt. Climb safe brother!
Really amazing and interesting, what height do you usually work at please. Thanks.
try more subtle music next time Mr. Bay
What like Kashmir?
You sir are at the top of your craft. That was awesome.
that was awesome!
this is one of the best things i've seen in a long time.
Why did you push the log with your hand? Isn't it dangerous?
"Isn't it dangerous?" No. This climber knows his stuff....
Cracking video, keep them coming
Damm, that was fucking awsome, makes me want to go to australia 😂
I believe I held my breath every time a limb went off the tree!! Be safe up there.
Whoa ! That is epic! Makes our trees look like twigs.
Much like your arms then.
haha
;P
Big tree, solid cuts ! Well done...crazy weather mix !!! where you at? subscribed...cheers...
If he did it with a nail clipper, now that would be epic. Even without the song "This video needs to be epic" by" Epic" (EPIC label).
You betcha I subscribed to this channel!!!!!
That was money on that last stem..lobbed tell but up n over

👏🏻BRAVO!👏🏻 Not bad for an arborist with a selfie stick! 😉Not bad at all ✌🏼
💪🏼🌲Timberrrrr🌲
good job. I liked the vertical side/speed line while piecing the trunk down, hopefully that job paid for a raptor lol. that was quite the haul with just hand/foot ascender
Hey Fruitarian, Is it difficult for an Arborist from the US to find work down there? Is ISA Cert. a must?
What size of chainsaw's are you working with to cut down that tree ? Keep up the good work 👍🏼✌🏼️
What is name of the background track you use for this video, please?
The bark, foliage, and size look a lot more like Eucalyptus than Ash.
Eucalyptus Regnans aka Mountain Ash.
Hadn't heard that one before ... explains it.
Eddie Cole thanks dad being a tree man now you know your stuff 🤓
Slaying some serious monsters there tree brother, good work..great video..keep climbing high & cutting small.
why use ascender if you’re gonna just take it down? No spike’s?
Easier to use ascenders than spur up this tree. I have an ascender attached to my spurs
Very professional tree work. Very calculated and not afraid to rig big. Awesome
great work! that some awesome skills with size of tree. you got a subscriber here!
Great rope work
Kids! Don't try this at home....
Why do you cut either side of the notch before making the back cut? Awesome work btw man
This was mesmerizing.
I'd love to know where this is!? I grew up in the dandenongs. Looks so familiar!
I want to climb one of those Eucalyptus sooo bad all we have are white pine here

Nicknero stellar Music Apollo
Ahh, thank you my friend!
Fruitarian Climber ~ I've searched for this on iTunes and cannot find it. Is the song title Apollo? Who is the artist? Fantastic vid, btw!

Хорошая работа! Лайк парни!
If you are going to do this, you must have a pair------------------------------------of trees.
A shame about the music
This is probably my favorite tree video on TH-cam
wow thanks man!

That's true, Ace. But you and your boys have got it going on, fo sho!!
Seriously professional stuff chaps. That timber is SO bloody heavy too isn't it? Where are you based? NZ Christchurch ?
Aus
tall trees man. those trees are a lot of cuts to prevent tears and wrong pealing
I'm Gonna pass out what the **** are you doing with those threes noooooooo
Pretty awesome!Q!what r those cuts on the side of the notch for?
The death of trees. Sad. Now they become mulch.
this guy is pals with dexter morgan
Swoost because I look like him or because I'm "murdering" trees?
Thats like a damn Avatar nest
Its Eucalyptus, not mountain ash. But nice work!
You are both right and wrong. Eucalyptus Regnans has the common name Mountain Ash in Australia.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_regnans
yeap. i thought mountain ash goes for rowans. cheers
Just curious, why did you cut below your notch
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏼
Amazing skill, fearless..!! Bravo.!
Oh, and NICE sharp chainsaws ! :-D
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share!
150 feet in the air, with a chainsaw in one hand and a selfie stick in the other, what could possibly go wrong? :)
that music would make my dumps epic.
Do you have any recommendations for hand ascenders for srt? Single or double? I’m going to be doing more srt work but I’m pretty lean and my grip strength isn’t great really burns my arms after a long ascent. Awesome videos mate always looking in awe at you
Thanks mate, I love the petzl single hand ascender
You don't need either, if you rope walk and use both a foot and knee ascender.....
wow
Mostly Autumnal
And I thought my forearms looked good.
i could do that, i just don't want to...
what is the name of the song you use to this
Big island?
couldnt they just leave it alone?
Song name ?
Like Reg Coates in those tall trees
Reminds me of Tarzan Thomas.
great job on the removal and video
How long did it take you to bring those ropes on and cut those trees?
Kreativer Einfall 3 and a half
Days :)
Epic
Awesome job guys keep it up
Wow stop removing the trees
Tyler fun time 369 Read the description the tree was removed due to safety concerns.
Great work
they are bloody big trees
Cracking job :-)
