been doing tree's for 30 years....one thing I see n here in you is your ambition....you will leave your mark in the tree industry....remember what your parents told you....you can be great if you put your mind to it.....go get em bro......
I'm sure it's not a standard industry practice but I'm a believer in one man feeding the chipper at a time for the very reason you show in this video and because getting whipped in the face with a wisp of a branch sucks.
Absolutely, dangerous enough doing it by yourself. I took a 2" limb to the face once from one I was feeding, could've lost an eye had I not be wearing safety glasses.
Do you still like the trolley?? Do you still use it? How is it holding up 3 years later? Asking for my hubby, who does this type of work, with my help sometimes!
HANGS!!!! Dead weight hangs are great for the shoulder brotha. I even use deadlift straps so I can relax my grip and let everything stretch. Might give it a try!! Also, acupuncture is dope, haha.
you should of taken advantage of the base still on the hinge and start buckin it up bro.....god bless.....keep up the love for the game.....it's a blast!!!!!!!!
I was a salesman at a Stihl dealer and fell in love with saws, which led to falling in love with hunickes videos and wanting to do it. As far as the skills, it was through my co-worker Joe, he's been climbing close to 20 years, showed me how it's done. You can learn alot from books/videos, I'll be the first to admit though that you can't learn how to climb except being in a tree with a climber.
Love your videos, only thing I always notice is when making your notches you always cut your top cut first, i was always taught to make the bottom one first as to not pinch the bar, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Keep up the good vids though
Human ahhhh i see, good point. See, steady learning lol, so im putting alot lately into stocking up on my OWN equipment rather than waiting for the boss to always turn down my good ideas on equipment that makes our job easier, more safe and efficient, so please keep doing those amazing product reviews and showing us the new cool stuff......its really widening my range of ways to do this type of work
Human that is the truth! you almost have the monkey part down. you sure as hell can do the bucket. next move is being an arborist. that's why you know what hypoxylon canker is.
I love it. Haven't even used the ball cart yet though. Most logs I've found If I can stand them up, I just drop them onto the trolley and haul it out like that. It really sucks pulling uphill though, lol, as everything will.
Human Thanks, there is so much bashing going on with the brands it is hard to get an honest opinion. One of the "complaints" I've read is that it is not balanced well because of the wheel placement. To me just seems that on either device there will be a sweet spot for balance. You just need to find it and place the limbs according I would think. Thoughts on that? Thanks.
I had actually read that as well, watch 8:40 in the video, put it in there just for that reason. You're 100% correct, just a matter of where the log is placed. I can't say I'm innocent of bashing "not happy with stein", I generally just go with what I feel is the best product though, regardless of what brand it is.
How did I miss that the first dozen times I watched the vid, thanks. Love the blooper of the notch closing up early, we have all done it. Safe climbing Human.
Oh yeah! Really bought it for my dad as he likes to help on side jobs and isn't a young man anymore, shit, I'm not a young man anymore. Fell in love quickly though, until I can afford something mechanized, it sure helps a ton.
Does it hurt when you hold something out away from your body at full extension? That's what I had along with the popping. Sometimes it would snap my hand open. Xray's will just show socket shape and wear so they will do an MRI to so any damage to tendons and fluid buildup. I had a split tendon and another hanging by a thread. The did Debridement on everything while they were in there as well. Had it done Jan 5 and still off. They say another 5 weeks. Rehab is slow because they don't want you to pull the pins out if yours is that bad. I'm 51 by the way. Good luck and I'd wait till the Winter as you will be down a while if they find something.
That IS great news. If you can avoid surgery, do it. I've done some pretty excessive work over the years. Calcium deposits/build ups are what got me. Basically rubbing against them was sawing them apart. All frayed in the pics they gave me. That caused fluid build up and dull pain. Wait till your 50. LOL
Human it's the same bar graphic on the Stihl carbon fiber concept saw. What dealership do you use? Think you could leave their #? I really want one with that graphic
Tendonitis/bursitis (don't know if I spelled that right) in the shoulder sucks. Been dealing with that popping and pain since about 4 yrs ago. Only way to get rid of it is stop whatever you were doing that made it hurt, your tendons don't like it.
I will admit, that unless it's really necessary, I just lack patience for high-angle face cuts.😏 On the other hand, I usually make much deeper face cuts than a lot of other guys have patience for, so....🤓 ......I know one guy who makes the tiniest little notches, that it is excruciatingly painful to watch😫😫😫
Hi Samuel, when i used to make my face cuts i did use 45 degree angle cuts after trying the 70 degree face i notice the butt stay put not like the 45 when face makes contact lifts up and back, also i plunge cut and leave about 2 inches of hinge wood then wedge then make my release cut which give me more control have a good one
that satellite dish is less than two years old. Im guessing DirecTV probably told em trees were starting to block signal and homeowner didn't want the dish in the yard.
Doc just told me I had a "clicking" and arthritis in my shoulder and needed physical therapy. I had the same deal lifting above the head hurt like a bitch. Time heals a lot of injuries but who can afford that anymore. What size is that light bar and do you like it?
It's a 28", and I love it. The 36" is just too much of a pain unless you really need it, so I dropped down to this bar, now I don't dread extended use of my baby, lol.
no truer statement ever told " don't get old" oh my as i watch this it is about only thing i can do as of this time in my life today & I'm only 58, my brain says i'm 28, my body tell's me i'm 108
I just prefer to be in control, had some not so great ground guys in the past that just couldn't follow simple instructions. Depending on the situation, if I can I like to set things up, then have them pull once I give the signal.
Yeah, second time in about a month that my carelessness almost cost me, luck only lasts so long. Not sure how I didn't see that the branch was going to tap the fence, else I'd have just hinged it over like those others.
your shoulder could just be a torn ligament, I can't lift my arm straight up Infront of me but if I bring my arm up sideways like jumping jacks I can get it above my head but it pops and snaps the entire time lol, I just can't stay off of it long enough for it to properly recover, whenever it feels good I do some dumb shit that fucks it up again lol
I know what you are mentioning about.... money is the answer if you have enough then it will work for you then can f around all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Torn rotator cuff, I betcha! Your to young for surgery but physio therapy helps. Lots of "folks with different customs" wanting good looking safe trees taken down here or else ridiculous looking high crown raising...... =(
I had one and it was deep in the cuff, surgery would have had to take it all apart to put it back together, so other things were done, once it's sort of better cortisone shots help the pain. An MRI is the best test to image it.
Great videos, but For the love of God, Please STOP putting your hand in the Lions mouth once you've cut the wedge. One of these days your gonna get bit.
Unfiltered and UN-censored, this is a great channel.
been doing tree's for 30 years....one thing I see n here in you is your ambition....you will leave your mark in the tree industry....remember what your parents told you....you can be great if you put your mind to it.....go get em bro......
Thanks much =) I love finally finding something in life I'm passionate about, absolutely love it.
They looked like a fun little job. Nice n easy. No complaints.
I'm sure it's not a standard industry practice but I'm a believer in one man feeding the chipper at a time for the very reason you show in this video and because getting whipped in the face with a wisp of a branch sucks.
Absolutely, dangerous enough doing it by yourself. I took a 2" limb to the face once from one I was feeding, could've lost an eye had I not be wearing safety glasses.
Log trolly looks sweet!
That was a massive open face notch!
Take care!
When you find the fountain of youth please give me the heads up and location
That neighborhood sure hates shade.
You like the eagles man? lol
the one you fell in the back yard, it happens to a guy I work with a lot, but i never can catch it on video , but you did thats hilarious ! ..
Yeah, kinda blew my mind! Didn't think it would get hung up at such an extreme angle, lol, was practically on the ground.
Great video, your all over the place on this one like those young guys climbing & ground crew
Do you still like the trolley?? Do you still use it? How is it holding up 3 years later? Asking for my hubby, who does this type of work, with my help sometimes!
HANGS!!!! Dead weight hangs are great for the shoulder brotha. I even use deadlift straps so I can relax my grip and let everything stretch. Might give it a try!! Also, acupuncture is dope, haha.
you should of taken advantage of the base still on the hinge and start buckin it up bro.....god bless.....keep up the love for the game.....it's a blast!!!!!!!!
That sir.....IS GENIUS!!! lol
Is tha tree at 3:20 a shagbark hickory ? It doesn't really matter, it's a nice tree, sad to see it go.
That first tree you cut down, did not wanna come down!
Like the log dolly..great idea
The laugh at 8:20 😂❤️ love your vids
Okay, the log trolley just paid for itself. Now I want one.
Not sure if you covered this before but how did you get into tree climbing and learning all of the skills?
I was a salesman at a Stihl dealer and fell in love with saws, which led to falling in love with hunickes videos and wanting to do it. As far as the skills, it was through my co-worker Joe, he's been climbing close to 20 years, showed me how it's done. You can learn alot from books/videos, I'll be the first to admit though that you can't learn how to climb except being in a tree with a climber.
I was especially sad to see the second tree (bald cypress???) go. Looked like a good one.
Maybe a Paper-barked Maple
Samuel Nekvasil
Hi Human !!!
Please tell me what is this tree...
Because at this moment I cannot remember it !!!
That’s a really beautiful Bark !!!
where can I get a cart like that green one!?!?
Log trolley is super cool. Now I need one
Love your videos, only thing I always notice is when making your notches you always cut your top cut first, i was always taught to make the bottom one first as to not pinch the bar, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Keep up the good vids though
You can doe either first, I like to do the top first to see the chain when I'm next to done with the bottom cut.
Human ahhhh i see, good point. See, steady learning lol, so im putting alot lately into stocking up on my OWN equipment rather than waiting for the boss to always turn down my good ideas on equipment that makes our job easier, more safe and efficient, so please keep doing those amazing product reviews and showing us the new cool stuff......its really widening my range of ways to do this type of work
all right! high five! well done man. we have a mini skid, but your trolley looks totally pimp!
Thanks =) Yeah, it's no skid steer, but it sure as hell beats hauling by hand.
Human that is the truth! you almost have the monkey part down. you sure as hell can do the bucket. next move is being an arborist. that's why you know what hypoxylon canker is.
Can we see the chipper in use more often?
Well after 2 weeks how are liking the trolley? I'm looking at that one and of course the Stein version. Thanks
I love it. Haven't even used the ball cart yet though. Most logs I've found If I can stand them up, I just drop them onto the trolley and haul it out like that. It really sucks pulling uphill though, lol, as everything will.
Human Thanks, there is so much bashing going on with the brands it is hard to get an honest opinion. One of the "complaints" I've read is that it is not balanced well because of the wheel placement.

you as well =)
man that cart is nice! lol..treeclimbers age twice as fast as a NORMAL HUMAN
Oh yeah! Really bought it for my dad as he likes to help on side jobs and isn't a young man anymore, shit, I'm not a young man anymore. Fell in love quickly though, until I can afford something mechanized, it sure helps a ton.

Chiropractor today said that the issue is a nerve in my neck. Best news I've gotten in a long time!
That IS great news. If you can avoid surgery, do it. I've done some pretty excessive work over the years. Calcium deposits/build ups are what got me. Basically rubbing against them was sawing them apart. All frayed in the pics they gave me. That caused fluid build up and dull pain. Wait till your 50. LOL
Where did you get that bar? The only light bars we can get at my dealership don't have that graphic
Had my dealer order it, I'm not sure about the graphic though. Could just be a new style decal or something.
Human it's the same bar graphic on the Stihl carbon fiber concept saw. What dealership do you use? Think you could leave their #? I really want one with that graphic
You guys have some great equipment. My husbands company dosent even have some of the tools you use.
another excellent vid human
is it okay if I share this video in a treework group on Facebook?
Now, did you paint the jug cover of that saw or is that an aftermarket?
I painted it
LOL that's quite the cushion at 8:30 !
Is that pole saw you used in this electric?
gas
Human what model of pole saw was that? Thinking about getting one, which do you recommend? I want to stay stihl.
Thanks love the videos
So what are your thoughts on the husky so far?
I like it, it's way comfy in the hand
Human did you see stihls new promo video. Something big is coming march 1st.
FishFind3000 - Oh? Do tell......
I am intrigued.
Human me too, God I hope it's the ms462. For the video it's on Stihl USA TH-cam channel. Just came out today.
how do you like that husqvarna ?
Noah Behm junk
Tendonitis/bursitis (don't know if I spelled that right) in the shoulder sucks. Been dealing with that popping and pain since about 4 yrs ago. Only way to get rid of it is stop whatever you were doing that made it hurt, your tendons don't like it.
Oh, you mean, like, tree work??😜
Yeah, like, whatever
so I guess for tree guys, notches are the equivalent to us welders and making good welds?
Good way of looking at it
Well I love your videos bud ive been binge watching them, makes me want start doing tree work.
Awesome Job!!!
Great video its nice to see you use a 70 dergree angle instead of 45 much safer tree lays down with more control
Absolutely
I will admit, that unless it's really necessary, I just lack patience for high-angle face cuts.😏 On the other hand, I usually make much deeper face cuts than a lot of other guys have patience for, so....🤓 ......I know one guy who makes the tiniest little notches, that it is excruciatingly painful to watch😫😫😫

Donald Costello - YesSir, got it
Them some nice looking cuts.
Thanks, still not as good as I'd like to be, far better than I was though
8:43 As all things should be
that satellite dish is less than two years old. Im guessing DirecTV probably told em trees were starting to block signal and homeowner didn't want the dish in the yard.
Doc just told me I had a "clicking" and arthritis in my shoulder and needed physical therapy. I had the same deal lifting above the head hurt like a bitch. Time heals a lot of injuries but who can afford that anymore. What size is that light bar and do you like it?
It's a 28", and I love it. The 36" is just too much of a pain unless you really need it, so I dropped down to this bar, now I don't dread extended use of my baby, lol.
Nice my dealers don't carry them of course
Neither did mine, had it ordered.
no truer statement ever told " don't get old" oh my as i watch this it is about only thing i can do as of this time in my life today & I'm only 58, my brain says i'm 28, my body tell's me i'm 108
Hey, Man; you can't use a trolley without a trolley bell. Put a trolley bell on your trolley !! LOL
I was wondering what those guys were waiting for to pull over that first tree.....(??)
I just prefer to be in control, had some not so great ground guys in the past that just couldn't follow simple instructions. Depending on the situation, if I can I like to set things up, then have them pull once I give the signal.
Careful with that fence.....
Yeah, second time in about a month that my carelessness almost cost me, luck only lasts so long. Not sure how I didn't see that the branch was going to tap the fence, else I'd have just hinged it over like those others.
your shoulder could just be a torn ligament, I can't lift my arm straight up Infront of me but if I bring my arm up sideways like jumping jacks I can get it above my head but it pops and snaps the entire time lol, I just can't stay off of it long enough for it to properly recover, whenever it feels good I do some dumb shit that fucks it up again lol
Nice notch!
Nothing like an easy ass job once in a while, right? Straightforward work, where the raking and blowing is the only bad part.....
Had a sawgasm over that 660
real men drag brush by hand
I, Sir, am not a real man, lol
ha just bustin ure chops homie
Smart men use a cart 😉🤣
Funny thing is I rather drag brush than use the arbor trolley
Loose ligaments ,i have that also
There is no way to describe the shoulder popping politely. Have you seen this: www.treeclimbercoalition.org/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2002
My brain shut diown after "frozen shoulder, 9-18 months"..........
Seriously though, that looks pretty amazing, gotta look into it
8:18😹
I know what you are mentioning about.... money is the answer if you have enough then it will work for you then can f around all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My shoulder has been messed up for years welcome to getting older trust me thats not the only thing thats going to pop and lock up and hurt hahahaha
Wait till you get old ! Your not even close yet!
Torn rotator cuff, I betcha!
Your to young for surgery but physio therapy helps.
Lots of "folks with different customs" wanting good looking safe trees taken down here or else ridiculous looking high crown raising...... =(
That's what my boss is thinking too.....=(
I had one and it was deep in the cuff, surgery would have had to take it all apart to put it back together, so other things were done, once it's sort of better cortisone shots help the pain.
An MRI is the best test to image it.
😬😬😬😬😬
Wayne Essar - Where are you located? I'm in Jersey, and I think I know who you might be referring to, Lol😜😜😜
I am in a suburb of Vancouver Canada.
first
Very nice cut!
ty
I'm not near as experienced as you but have a dying tree right next to a home. Hoping to learn more cuts to get the tree to go away from the home.
Chris Dowing ropes and trucks make trees go where you want them. definitely need the cut to be right!
Great videos, but For the love of God, Please STOP putting your hand in the Lions mouth once you've cut the wedge. One of these days your gonna get bit.
boring
