- Regulations in the City of Seattle are getting tighter when it comes to granting permits for tree removals. Sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option. After examining the tree and explaining why this Western White Pine (Pinus monticola) can't be saved, Peter will bring you along to experience climbing this giant beauty from his perspective. You'll see what it takes to safely remove this towering pine, all by hand, without the use of a crane. Discover the versitle Grapple Truck from the perspective of the driver seat as Russell manuveurs the claw with surgical precision. Meet arborist and future climber, Riley as he explains some of his duties and even helps get a drone out of a tree. Bring a rake so you can help the crew from Seattle Tree Care tackle things from the ground in this episode portraying a day in the life of an arborist. Experience what its like to be part of Seattle Tree Care, an arborist company that not only cares for the trees but also the community around each tree as Peter, Russell, Riley, Keaten and Emma grapple with this Seattle Hazard Tree.

I like your style!!
Thanks!
That salami cut works so well. We were just removing a hazard ?Eastern White Pine? just the other week and it made hitting the sweet drop zone just right.
Gotta love it when things work out that way.
Peter is a stud! Love his old school climbing and rigging style. Looking forward to the Guilty of Treeson large cottonwood removals 🤙🏼
Make sure you check out the upcoming video...its old school all the way...right down to the crew lugging stuff out by hand. And Peter definitely doesnt disappoint in this one.
@@SeattleTreeCare lololololo. I'm a tad to old for extreme physical labor but I'll push myself at 63. Nice to see young bucks unafraid of hard work. It's all I've known. I look forward to viewing more of yur stuff often as I am able.
Nice job. Thought I'd comment on the large chunking cuts you make that are downward oriented. I generally put a couple of twigs in the back so the big chunks you are trying to slide off don't come down and pinch the bar and the saw is stuck and you're left to try to hinge all that weight over. With a "slide cut" you can be very accurate as opposed to awkwardly push/hinge it over and it can fall off the side if very heavy and short. Care to comment?
Also at 27:25 you have a STX38 stumper we have run since invented and ran a prototype they gave us since we bought the STX26 before that. I guess you have at least 5 since it has # 5 on it? They are great. Is yours modded in any way? Seems to be missing an engine casing and has a bar across the top of it? To lift the unit and crane into spots? Also it has only 4 cutters spaces instead of many like stock Greenteeth. Did you decide that is better? Thanks.
You mentioned tree guys since the 80's. I have been at it since the late 60's and still at it every working day and love to talk tree work.
I'll let Peter respond to your specific questions as he's the expert! I just wanted to comment about how long you've been in the biz! That's half a century! You've been hanging out in trees longer than most of our team has been alive! Thats amazing!
@@SeattleTreeCare Thanks. I love our job.
Thats awesome and good tip about the twigs in the start of the cut. One of my older mentors who taught me so much of what I know, Jim Burgess, showed me how if there aren't twigs around and you don't want to waste a wedge, use the small piece chunk of bark that your tree spikes leave behind once you remove your gaffs from a tree. One way or another its all about efficiency and using what you got👍
Good eye on the grinder and you must be very familiar with the units. The crossbar is actually stock on the new units and unfortunately is not load carrying. We do put a different wheel on them and it reduces drag and keeps the rpms up a little better than the green teeth, its called alpine rhino system and its made from a fellow located in Olympia WA. Greenteeth are a good system though and the Alpine has the slight advantage of less teeth and a more solid "pocket design". When we used greenteeth though, we found mig welding a little bead on the back of the pocket to the main wheel guaranteed that the pocket bolts would never loosen or shear off.
Thanks again for your Awesome comments, Hope you keep at it and keep teaching people more of the knowledge you have learned, thank you✌🤘
Center lead looked like it had a borer or died out and created a whorl of branches or co-dominant stems. What a mess at the top.
Great channel! I enjoy the vlogs that you have already done with Jacob and Guilty of Treeson.
Is so cool to see someone with all the money invested in equipment still climbing trees in the most basic way. Sometimes we over think things. So cool to watch you rig down all your own pieces! (With no climb line). Lol
Love the collaboration u did with Jacob from guilty or treeson! Would love for u to do another one with him.
Thats great, glad you liked it and we look forward to working together again too!
Did you guys get an after market grinder head? Looked like it did very well compared to our stock one
Is this 1980? Where’s the climb line as you’re making cuts on ascent?
Thanks for the comment and major props to anyone climbing trees back in the 1980s. So much respect for what those early climbers did with the tools and knowledge they had at the time.
One of the great things about being a tree climber is adapting to different situations, on this job, the grapple was reaching right where a climbing line could easily tangle and get pulled. To eliminate the chance of the grapple unintentionally pulling my climb line out of the tree with me attached, I used 2 flip lines instead👍
Thanks for watching🙏
Love your style! Would love to pick your brain at some point. Would be happy to pay $ I am trying to keep expanding my tree service in Cincinnati
@@thepoopofcheese Thats awesome, Keep up the great work and you can make amazing things happen!
Nice job. I like that grapple. My question though is, how much does it cost to dump that tree? I use chip drop. As you know, that's free or only $20.
Not sure if you saw this part or if it answers your question, but the homeowner asked what we do with the tree seeing as we didn't chip it on site. Hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/ph1iHtkPNso/w-d-xo.html
@@SeattleTreeCare I figured you were talking about the dump. In Olympia, the dump mulches yard waste and gives it away for free, but they also charge $37/ton. Do you know what that tree weighted?
@@TimNonn. Ill try to remember to ask Russell next time I see him. He hauled it off that day.
I forgot to reply back to you. Sorry about that. I did talk to Russell about this and he said he doesnt know. I never got a straight answer when I asked him to guess either. He said "heavy". Haha
@@SeattleTreeCare thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate the follow up! I own Veteran Tree Service just south of you in Olympia. What you guys are doing up there is really impressive. Keep it up!
Unreal work man. Love the old school rigging.
Thats awesome, thanks man!
Fuck yeah Peter! I am just across the water in Port Orchard, loving the old school style bro! Have you considered a large caritool without the gate for hanging your saw? I used to dangle my saw but pulling it back up can prove to be a chore. Do you like the Salewa repace boots? I have always loved the comfort of the original mountain trainer but feel the heel sits a little too far back for my spurs.
Thanks for a the awesome comments.
Yes. I love the caritiool or other saw hanger. Mine busted so I was dangling 😊
I’m a fan of the salewas and good eye.
Just started using sportivas and I prefer them. Rei has a great return policy if for any reason they wear out early too👍

Nice
Thanks
On days like that you do another job?
This one we didn’t but there are days when we go to multiple jobs in one day.
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful work. I musta missed you saying how tall that tree was. How much can you charge to remove a tree like that?
It was probably 80-85 feet. I believe we charged right around $4200 plus tax and that included the stump grinder.
@@SeattleTreeCare thank you so very much for responding sir. God bless you and your team and keep you safe.
@@brad2548 Thank you for watching! There are 6 more of those videos in our Seattle Arborist series as well as a dozen or more other videos displaying some of the jobs we've done.
Those wires on the outside of your helmet are a safety hazard
Awesome video!! Hope to see more.
Thanks! You will! We plan on making more!
Love the videos! I own a tree service in Cincinnati and I like to learn from the videos.
Definitely a fan of the idea of removal and replant
