As a homeowner that had dangerous trees removed, I can't explain the feeling of relief in knowing you don't have to worry every time the wind picks up. You guys do great work!
Agree but sadly when you have a neighbor who has a massive Maple tree that is out of control, and you glance at it from time to time knowing if high winds hit where it's headed, and she won't do a thing with it. And even more so we have paid to have some limbs trimmed when her daughter lived there, or it would be over our house by now.
@@misssweetie3091 Check laws in your area, I believe any part of the tree over your property line you can have cut. May not solve your problem completely, but may allow you to take enough off to save your house, or make it look so ugly the owner takes down the rest. :o

Reon is so methodical & clever. I'm always looking to shave a few minutes off & it seems like he is the same way. Really enjoying the new videos Jake STAY SAFE
That was the most informative video about tree removal using "any" crane that I have seen. I concur with all the comments that this process is very impressive; enjoy & be safe.
Hey Jake I’m from Minnesota, the Ash your cutting when long time dead is hard on your saws, But actually ash is one on our softer woods in this part of the country. My crew and I are removing 16 dead ash trees tomorrow in Fountian City Wi, leaning over their house, I’m glad they aren’t as big as this one that you’re doing today. Love your videos John Redig Goodbye Tree’s inc.
You have no idea how helpful and inspiring it is to see Reon work in long-form like this. As someone from the Midwest it is difficult to find content creators online that do the stuff that we do. It looks the knuckle boom crane is the right tool for the job!
Interesting , Thank You. a fine example of the right people with the right equipment , making the tough jobs look almost easy . We must also remember the people that designed and built the tools that we use . No muss no fuss
The best way I heard V-cuts explained is if you think its gonna spin or rotate then make both sides steep so it simulates a flat head screwdriver and the piece is trapped down and from rotating It also helps pop holding fiber in a piece that is pinching...the operator can lift or release and the angle cut acts like a lever ... Big spar work with the mech head try snap cuts with the low side facing the crane ... You can bypass the cuts ...move to a safe place/ ground..and the KB can push from the top and pop it while its sitting on the tree no shock load ...low side let's him retract for strength ..... I enjoy watching and learning from your guys videos and apply them to my career...ty
How good is Reon 👌 Asking specs while he's consecrating setting up but can still list of specs, can tell he did a lot of research on the machinery he has before getting them. Also seems like he'd be a great boss.
That was awesome. I worked for a company here in Florida that sold, installed, and servived that brand of knuckle boom. I finally got to see it in action. Thank you neighbor, for posting. 🤜🤛
I was glued to this video. Your hands on style of videography blended well with your trade dialog and friendly banter! The trees I’ve cut down in my time were out of necessity. You guys combine fine tools and equipment with artful and deliberate thought out processes. You’re tree artists! My helmet is off in salute. Bravo!!
Glad you enjoyed the suckers as much as we do. Dying ash sprout like crazy. Although red oak suckers are like rebar. Fun to see a west coast tree guy experience the Midwest! Awesome video
I do love this traveling thing and visiting/working with other tree services. Hopefully you are able to continue with this endeavor. Try to find a big old silver maple to play in if you think the ash has a sprawling canopy.
We have lots of ash trees where I live and they all are dead. This crane is amazing. It makes it so much easier. Love it. I really appreciate how much work goes into doing the videos just so we can see the work you are doing! THANK YOU!
Good afternoon, I guess ash trees cut hard every where. This is very interesting video. I am glad i got to see this, unbelievable. Thank you so much for taking the time to video, the boss is very talented with the loader. Steve from N.B Canada
I really like your method of working Reon, and just like me, you keep your equipment clean. Excellent clean, tidy and efficient work, which is how it should be done. Well done and stay safe.
We may not have they height here on the east coast but we got the girth. Also I love the direction this industry is taking on lessening the labor aspect on jobsites with these machines.
I'm sure you know this already, but since this industry and this medium are all about sharing knowledge. What I like to do for large stump cuts is to use a much shorter bar (half the stump diameter), plunge cut then work my way around cuting with the topside of the bar always keeping the tip facing the centre of the stump. The saw stuffs the cut with the chips and jacks it up. No wedges needed and no pinched bar and the stump slides off really easy since the chips act like ball bearings. Try it! you might like it! From one cool guy to another
Awesome job, I really enjoy your "interview" style. you have a knack for asking really good questions without sounding like your just doing an interview. Funny that truck had everything including an air nozzle to blow off the controller but doesn't tell the weight of whats in it's grip. congratulations on the new adventure look forward to seeing where you go next!
This is a great video 📹. The machine is awesome I hope it was made in America 🇺🇸. You guys 👦 😀 👍 💙 are 👦 great, a joy to watch ⌚. You are so efficient so sure of yourself, I like that 😀 😊 👍 😄 you are all right ✅ 😀 😊 👍.
Man's greatest strength is inventing things to make work go faster and easier. Man's greatest weakness is that... sometimes we make things more complex than they really need to be, especially when some simple human effort is more than enough.
Awesome! I operate a 100 ton tree mek out of Georgia. I am always having to set up on hill, the truck will do it and work just fine but it does take a little cribbing under the tires to put pressure on the suspension. Great video.

Danm! I NEED one of those things! When I was a Senior in HS, I would read indusrial reports to find where the jobs were. Choker setters. They all wanted choker setters. Figured I could always get a job setting chokers. Then I started reading the fatality reports and I learned WHY they always needed choker setters. Every issue of those reports had fatalities. I have to smile at his 880's. I don't know how many saws I have, but they're all one model. 8 or 10 or 12 of them. Spend day in the shop and get them all tuned, sharp, and growling, and I'm good for a lot of cutting.
Hello boys it's me again we at Majestic Log Homes at a very nice crane to can't play with logs without a crane! We used custom Husqvarna chainsaws with patented wraparound grips you might want to check them out they come in handy in all situations especially when you're carving a log house. Love you shows love what you do be safe! And like us have fun.
It's nice to see some one cutting hardwoods for a change.that Ash tree that Reon Rounds and you knuckle craned out is almost exactly what my typical day is like but without the crane ,the chipper,and crew it's just me and my girlfriend.I be rigging trees like that and footing them out the back yard,just me and a girl only it takes me a little bit longer( like two days longer) .man I wish I had a knuckle boom crane saw it looks amazingly fun.be safe fellas (and lady's)
Guys I swear, someone needs to make a meme with the woman yelling at the cat saying, "The thumbnail says Knuckle Boom Baby!" and the white cat responding, "NO, it's Knuckle Baby BOOM".
Thank you for the videos & keep up the good work also over here in the North West we don't see much of that kind of specialized equipment . Much Respect and admiration for what you do.
I think the comment about the type of tree is the deciding factor on which equipment is best is a bot off because simply put the type of terrain and home lot layouts in that area are a much more important factor than type of tree, all flat, paved roads, similar sized lots etc etc. That machine is worth it's weight in gold in that area but would be very limited on the west coast due to narrow roads, soft mud, and of course big tall tree's for the most part. Great work guy's and very good communication between work crew.
The knuckle-boom is an awesome piece of equipment! I was in awe of how flexible it maneuvers, and the talent of Reon. “Smooth operator.” 😉 Thank you, Jake!! Looking forward to the next video.
Indeed. Palfinger Cranes are some of the best ones when it comes to flexibility and the company takes great care about giving the customer exactly what he wants and needs. This model is (i think) one of the biggest they make and it has so many great functions like a memory for a crane position (means that you can "save" a position, and if you push a button the crame remembers this position and automatically moves to it the same way like you did it manually before.) or a "boot up" sequence where you can program that the boom automatically unfolds and goes into a pre-set position with just one button. (This is mostly meant for cranes that are used to load trucks, but i'm sure it works with this one too.) And not to forget the safety and assistance systems like a overload protection, also that the crane checks if the outriggers are out, how much they are out (half, full, etc.) and calculates how much you can lift with that and shuts down if you lift too much. Just like you can see at 33:40 that's the system telling you "Hey, this is almost at max. capacity. Be careful."
FYI, most stick boom cranes can be ordered with a wired or wireless remote exactly like this knuckleboom, today in 2022 u can usually most often choose between sitting in cab or using remote. (Im a nyc crane operator for 20years now)

It was showing percent of capacity on the picks, so I guess it doesn't matter how much it weighs as long as you can pick it up.
@@dukeflem good point.
@@dukeflem p
The weight scale would constantly have to re evaluate the pounds as the boom retracts .physics .so % of capacity is more beneficial

Keep following your dream
PS reg Ash and its hardness, I’ve installed a number of random width Ash floors and as the Ash doesn’t really “wear” that these floors will last forever, losing the Ash is a sad thing
The suckers are the trees last attempt to survive and one of the signs to look for reg Emerald Ash Borer
What amazes me is that there isn’t shrapnel coming off of this tree as you are cutting it, must not have been completely dead
Reon and crew are a class act
Danm! I NEED one of those things!
When I was a Senior in HS, I would read indusrial reports to find where the jobs were. Choker setters. They all wanted choker setters. Figured I could always get a job setting chokers. Then I started reading the fatality reports and I learned WHY they always needed choker setters. Every issue of those reports had fatalities.
I have to smile at his 880's. I don't know how many saws I have, but they're all one model. 8 or 10 or 12 of them. Spend day in the shop and get them all tuned, sharp, and growling, and I'm good for a lot of cutting.
Thank you for "videoing" everything, even though it takes longer. We love the videos. Also, Reon is a cool dude.

We have many different species where I am from also, CT, so everyday is different from the next, which is good, I love what we do!!
That is one slick piece of equipment ! Love the advantages of the hyab with the harvesting head, over a conventional boom crane. 👏👏
Reon seem like quite the guy, great vid keep up the awesome work
The reach on that is incredible.
people are lucky having Reon around , he's a natural , probably a lightyear ahead

It is like a huge transformer! Great job!!
Does this crane make my ash look big?
Does my ash look big in this crane?
You guys can take your corny jokes and shove them up your ash! 🤣
Is my ash really that easy

Are you guys being dead ash right now?
