Well that couldn't have gone better. That crane operator is top notch. Great job Zach.
Thanks Clell! Mike was awesome, couldn't have done it without him!
Yup,a Good Crane Operator is Priceless!!
Absolutely!
Awesome video! I love how you explain everything so well. I’ve never done a crab job. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks man, this was only my second and the first one was fairly sketchy. This one was way better 😅 an experienced operator makes all the difference I think.
Great work brother. Love the fact that you were honest about not knowing too much. Keep it humble
Thanks Alex!
Nice and smooth Zach! I have not seen snap cuts used with a crane but they worked really well.
It was my first time seeing snap cuts used with a crane too 😂 I was suprised when Mike recommended them, but he made them work really well!
That was pretty damn smooth and informative. Good calm communication too is always nice when working w/ new people
Ricks crane service is the only guy I use for crane work, just super super people.
That's what I hear from everyone I talk to! I certainly have zero complaints!
The Crane operator was a Beast. So was the climber great job, man?
He was, Mike did great! Thanks, Bill!
Great job man especially for just your second crane job. Thats a awesome job by Mike to. He seemed to be very helpful on advise. Love the videos
Thanks Chris! All the credit goes to Mike on this one. I just tied slings on and cut limbs off 😅
Crane usage in the tree industry has become commonplace anymore I owned one many year’s ago sold when regulations and upkeep became to much cheaper to call and pay for a proper size crane when needed we use any where from a 36 to a 100 ton mostly a 60 or 80 ton. As for the crane straps we use 5/8ths with premade eyes 20’ on one end never disconnected from crane ball that so operator can usually center over tie point before putting pressure on slings. As for the cuts it’s what you prefer but never seen a climber that saw didn’t get severely pinched at one point or another
Thanks for your tips! I kinda expected to use dead eye slings and spider leg everything, but Mike whipped out some endless slings and we did the whole tree with those 🤷♂️ it definitely requires a little more skill from the operator because he has to move the boom tip to over the COG while he's cabling up. I would have been a little opposed to it, but Mike knew how to make it smooth for sure.
I'm not sure what a first time is supposed to look like, but that was pretty good!👍👍👍
Thanks Kevin! It went really smooth from my perspective. I think thay was mostly due to Mike calling the shots though. It definitely wasn't his first time 😅
My man hangin for the day!! Awesome work
Haha, thanks, Stephen!
Enjoyed the video. Good learning experience. Nice!
Thanks man!
That was really fast and smooth
All thanks to Mike! He told me at lunch that when he's working with a bucket truck, they can get the cycle time down to 90 seconds. I can certainly see why the companies with cranes also have big chippers 😅
I enjoyed watching this in the morning getting ready to do what we do.
My God imagine having access to equipment like that. Great stuff
Haha, it kinda makes me want to own one 😅 Bo just rented this one for the day. I think it was $135/hr and came with the operator.
@@zaccheus that's not bad 10 years ago half a day (so 4 hours) was $400 including the operator for a backhoe. Still heavy equipment good price we will all be watching to see if you ever do get one😁
@@deadmanswife3625 haha, that does sound like a good price considering how much everything has gone up since then 😅
Nice snap cuts👌
Thanks!
You did amazing buddy great damn job god bless
Thanks Bill. All the credit goes to Mike! He's the one that made the whole thing a smooth operation!
Nice work man, hey how do you capture the sena communications?
I just use a wireless mic system for the gopros. All the systems that capture sena communications end up having rather poor sound quality, and if you have more than two people talking, it gets difficult to know who is who anyway.
Nice work man
Thanks Dan!
Nice job
Thanks Jeff!
That was quick.
It really was. Crane pulled out of the job at 2 p.m., and we removed 3 decent sized trees.
In the limbs that have heavy weight, Leaning you can do a shelf cut as well, it works amazing.
Thays a great idea. I wondered it I wouldn't be the thing to do, but Mike suggested snap cuts, so I did snap cuts 🤷♂️ I'll have to give shelf cuts a try next time!
Great video beings its a crane with vert/horx snap cuts! Likey! How was the ball spin ?
Haha I didn't give it a try, but it was greased up good!
Just one question man how do find these jobs are they contract work or a job you setup through contact with the home owners I've been doing side work for about a year now on the weekends and trying to pick up more on the weekends any advice is appreciated and I'm not insured yet I would have to have enough work on the side before I went fully in and got a llc and insurance just looking for some advice to help me get started up and established a little more I wanna offer good quality work at a good price not trying to kill there pockets but still gotta come out ahead and would love some advice on pricing jobs to thanks in advance for your time and I really like watching your videos you actually go into detail on what your doing
Thanks, man! I get most of my contract climbing work through repeat clients whom I have met along the way. If you're just getting started, I would not recommend contract climbing. It would be good to have 5-10years of full-time experience behind you before you sub the Co tractor for other tree services. They only call you for the biggest and hardest trees. When I was just working on the weekends and had low overhead back in the day, I was able to be cheaper than the bigger companies in the area. That got me a lot of business through word of mouth. I also used yards signs. You can get them really cheap at uzmarketing.com. A Google business profile also helps people find you and see that you're legitimate. I would definitely recommend getting insurance asap. It's not as expensive as you think. My first policy was only a little over $100/month. You don't have to have an LLC, but it would protect your personal assets if something went wrong and someone wanted to sue. They're pretty cheap to set up as well. If you'd like to email me, I can send you my insurance guy's info, and he can give you a quote. My email is in my channel description. Good luck to you, Ricky!
operator was good
nice job
Thanks!
Hey man. Can you list down the crane sling and their lenght. Thank you gor the video. Asyraf, Malaysia
I'm sorry, I don't known what they are. They belong to the crane guy 🤷♂️
😮gelantungan di atas crane , menebang pohon yang kering sangat harus berhati hati karena takut kayu nya rapuh😮😮
Super legit
Thanks Evan!
Why the tie in through the carabiner instead of directly through the friction saver?
Crane operator put it on there, and so I used it to respect his position. Might have been to keep wear off of the crane anchor, might have just been to make the anchor midline attachable.
@@zaccheus ah makes sense
Is that 500i stock ported?
It's all stock aside from the WCS muffler voted on it. I think I had the rakers a little hungry for that locust as you may have noticed 😅
@@zaccheusDo you prefer the 661 or 500i if you're running say a 20" bar?
@4.0gpa44 I'd say 500 if I had to pick between the two. But if I wanted to keep a 20" saw around, I'd probably just get a 400. It is a pound lighter than a 500 and will run a 20" bar just fine.
@@zaccheusCurrently I'm using an Echo CS590 (59.8cc with a 20 bar) as my go-to ground saw, and a 661 with a 28" for the big stuff. I have a 42" bar for it as well. While the CS590 has been a reliable saw, the 661 is so much more powerful than the CS590, and I've debated mostly switching and getting a couple 661's or 500i's. Have you had any issues with yours, and is the weight that much lighter than a 661?
@4.0gpa44 Wow, I'm really impressed that a 60cc class saw will run a 42" bar for you! In that case, a 500 or a 661 will be a big improvement! I'm not a huge guy, and I do most of my cutting in the tree. Every ounce counts for me. If you're doing mostly ground work with the saw, it might not matter as much. The 500 is 2.6 pounds lighter than the 661 and produces only .5 hp less. The 500 will still run a 36" bar in oak if you need it too, but if you plan on doing a lot of bucking and felling work with a 42" bar, I'd think the 661 might be worth it. If you're doing a lot of 20" or 28" bar work and only occasionally need a bigger bar, I'd go for the 500 🤷♂️
Ha...
@13:11
Hahaha, sorry Kevin 😅
@zaccheus Oh, come on...that was funny. No apology necessary!👍
@@bioniclife haha, I'm glad you think so! I never even considered it to be honest 😅
You should try cutting a a v cut that way you can set it up to sit in the slot and have a blocker so it doesn’t do so much of the popping off when he cables up, great job brother
Thanks
