I am an attorney and am impressed with the arborist’s knowledge and application of the law, as well as ability to articulate his position. Most attorneys would not have done as well.
I was building a house on Vancouver Island and had to do a lot of tree clearing. A tree I wanted saved was a massive Cedar, probably 200 feet tall. The guys clearing the trees cleared around the Cedar I asked them not to cut down. When they got to the Cedar the guy doing the cutting was inspecting the tree, after some knocking and poking he came to me and said the tree has to go. He explained that it was "Punky" inside and with no other trees to defend it from the wind, if it fell it was big enough to take out my house and my shop, my shop was a good 100 feet from the house. So down it went, and am I ever glad he decided to poke around the Cedar. Turns out the first hundred feet or so was completely hollow, an outer ring of about 6 inches was all that was left of the tree. My advice, listen to the tree cutting experts, and I'm glad I did. It was a beautiful tree though.
My approach is anytime you got a situation where you can use the "Safety Issue" and add "Do you want to be liable if something happens because of your actions", most people will grant immediate exception. I have used this legitimately about half a dozen times and maybe once it did not work. After a transformer was replaced that lead to my house, I was having electrical problems. I called the utility and they did not want to send anyone out, saying they did not believe anything was wrong. I used the "Safety Issue". The utility company coped an attitude, but was now forced to send someone out. Turns out the installer of the replacement transformer failed to connect the Neutral at the transformer. He told me I was damn lucky no appliances were damaged and if I find anything damaged to file a claim and they would reimburse me.

That Randy really makes us laugh. Guilty of RANDY! What a great country we live in and you two share your experiences and educate us in the process. Thanks again. Sheer pleasure!!
Man you and Randy are meant to work together, good pals with great vibes and attitudes about everything. You guys should forever work together from now on. Guilty of Treeson with Randy Tree Service!
Granddad was a logging camp foreman in Washington in the days of axes and springboards and bucksaws. He would be absolutely amazed at this machine! Terrific.
Agreed. With the amount of illegals that are all over Miami plus the illegal tree work being done, its great to see the city being proactive making sure all the work is being done appropriately. Without the city doing this work, Miami would be a baren wasteland of South American real estate developments devoid of any sort of greenery.
@@Nighterlev the 50 in Texas don't do shit for the thousands of illegals that are currently in Miami and have been here for 10+ years. Getting rid of those would affect his Miami voting base so he won't go after them.
@@schmitty8225 . Maybe you need to be criticizing the corrupt city officials and corrupt developers who are employing all these 'illegals' who are living rent free in your head....they are the ones clear-cutting large areas of land to throw up projects of McMansions and retirement condos for all the reactionary snowbirds flocking to Florida for the low taxes. Poor refugees and migrants are helpless to fight back against these vultures.

Mr Tree Jaws, Thank you MUCHLY for moving to America and then choosing to set up in Florida. My Florida home yard is filled with giant trees. Need to look you up!👍👍
Under Stature 163.045 we are removing this unsafe tree so please go away. Awesome machine and great job Jake on the GuiltyofRandy show 😂 Mad respect to Mitch for making the dream work!
This video has so many surprising twists it should be a movie. Legal action, live oak sculptures, robot tree munchers and an orchestra house. What in the heck!?!?! Wild ! LOVE THIS thanks for sharing 🙏 A+ for the Plant Guy follow-up - SO cool!!
It's not that impressive, but there are a lot who come here and don't even try. Worked with a guy from Nicaragua, been here since he was 16, he's almost 50 and you'd think he had only been here a few years.
Great video!! Sharpened my saw like jed and it cuts so much better!! Ribbons instead of dust. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!!!!
Mitch talks about this job like everyone understands him. LOL Not everyone is in the tree business so it takes a while to realize the numbers he throws around are equipment models and such. It's obvious he knows his business. So does Nick the arborist. Also, let's not forget they're working with Live Oak, the densest wood in North America. It's nearly twice the density of red oak and weighs 75 lbs per cu. ft. fresh (55 lb. dry). We tried to pick up a cubic foot of live oak at the Federal Oaks Park museum in Florida and it was HEAVY! That's why they used live oak trees to build ships like Old Ironsides. Great video.
That machine is one monster of a beast! Awesome video, such a different perspective from the west coast jobs but with the same funny cast of characters--thanks for the show!
Love the vids from Florida, looks like y’all did great! It sucks when the city tries to shut you down, I was on a tree job awhile back where the city held us up for 3hrs. The owner of the company I was working sent the city a bill for those three hours. And after some hassling they did pay the bill.
Good on them for sending the city a bill, *and getting them to pay it*, the city 100% should be liable for idle time they create by preventing work from being done
I would have stated the reasons why the tree was a hazard tree, and then told those city officials to f**k off and leave. I have done it with building inspectors twice, because I knew I was right, and both times they agreed with me. I simply don't like most public employees, because they are useless eaters on a power trip.
As a climber at a company with 6 cranes, the grapple saw will never replace a climber/faller. It can be a safer or faster option, but it can't make pruning cuts by itself!
I think they would only replace the other methods if they all made their money from social media videos and didn’t charge for removals as the price of the equipment factors into job costs and not everyone can afford those fees.
It's been awhile since I've been here I enjoyed your videos in the past and I'm sorry I'm going to have to watch some of the ones and get up to date.. that's for the gentleman that you're highlighting today with his knuckle crane and cutting system thank you for being on your videos in the video on your TH-cam channel.. he does his homeland proud he's kept himself up and healthy and he has a good job going for him I don't know if you said that he owned a company or not but he's grasp English really good and I enjoyed watching this vehicle bring down this tree and it's surprised me so keep up bringing any type of videos and making friends out there and the world of arborist and bring some of those stories to light as well as your own works so and I'm glad that that third arborist showed up to kind of been City Hall's arm for a second there with three arborists there they should have given emergency permission how to cut the tree down cuz it is a safety hazard thank you for bringing the video stuff I'm wondering a few things and remembering some of the stuff that you've shown in the past and thank you God bless keep you safe everyone comes home just like I tell everyone in a fire department everyone comes home safe and we're ready for dinner God bless you your families and your companies and all those people depend on you
I hit the button too soon well the wrong icon.. that's for saving some of that tree for art that is a great thing I don't know if you guys in your practice when you chip the trees that you offer that to people for their garden cuz that the chips are great for raised bed gardening..
I cannot tell you how much my little boys loved this video. They are 3 and 5 and we watch your videos together. They were so fascinated with the tree grapple. I'm in your area, we have a tiny channel and hopefully we cross paths someday. Keep it um man.
Had a big hollow tree on the property growing up. As a kid, started a fire inside of it duh. After that, well, we thought maybe it's not safe anymore and it caused my old man to climb the tree and cut it down, all amateur style. End of the day, he was kinds glad. Even without lighting a fire inside, he didn't realize the tree was so hollow. If he was much older he wouldnt have been able to climb it. Tree reached the house and was leaning towards it. His epiphany was all after quite an earful and a punishment of having to work my ass off on the farm for a couple weeks, of course haha. Seeing this tree just reminded me of that.
as a florida boy i love how stoked you are about the stuff i see everyday like the live oaks and spanish moss hahaha love feling trees here in fl my fav thing
I've lived through a few hurricanes in the south and these machines would be great for cleaning up partially fallen trees that can't be climbed safely, or for preventative trimming before a storm hits.
I remember watching one of these giant live oaks come down naturally in Tallahassee, FL in the middle of a park. The city left it alone, and on one semi-windy day, it came down by it's self....right in the middle of the park with kids playing everywhere. My dad and I were in the park when it happened, it's not something you see everyday. We walked over and checked it out, only for it to be completely hollow and rotten.
So, the knuckle boom crane...is...more....knuckly?! Good to know!!!!! 😝 Double-stack-wordsmith!!! eh?!! Love the video!! The whole crew is awesome.....and funny!! Mitch seems pretty amazing too!! Nice end of the week treat!!!!
Loved how this tree came down safely! Of course Randy had to be a goofball! Jake you presented an awesome video! The tree guy is amazing! Loved the animals he made! So cool! Stay safe! See you on the next video!
Thank You Boys excellent tree felling you carried out there, i sure enjoyed viewing this vid over here in Australia. The home owners must be relieved now 👍 Au
years ago, did an alianthus removal, where the city said the tree was fine despite the fact that the homeowner had a report from a structural engineer demonstrating how the tree was destroying the brick foundation(growing out/against) of the historically listed building. it took 6 months of fighting with lawyers before the city greenlit a removal permit.
Nothing like paying taxes on your property only to be told by a suit that's never done any real work that you can't take down a danger tree on your own property...
I'm 13 years old and a neighbor recently gave me a Husqvarna 340. After cleaning it up and putting some bar and chain oil in, it runs great. I will be buying chaps next time that I get paid so that I can run it.
btw that fern on those live oaks is called ressurection fern and when it doesnt get rain for a while it turns brown and looks dead but right when you get rain it turns green and livens up again, you can pour water on some brown ressurection fern and watfch it turn green hahah its very cool
DAAAAMN!!!! That boom is wicked!!! NICE for getting into little pockets like this for sure, but I REALLY enjoy watching you do what you do... climb trees and cut them down!!
Had a tree with a similar problem, that mud at 34.33 had a funky smell and turned out to be pure compost, collected it and planted in it and the plants are thriving!!!
With tree trimming I note there are times when the service does not DRESS the wound left on the tree. We had a huge 60 + year soft Maple with a 5-6 foot diameter stick on the North side of our home...but after high winds scaring us a bit we decided a 1-2 foot diameter branch hanging over our roof had to go. A local part time guy cut it. I asked him about dressing the tree wound to avoid disease, insects, et cetera but he said the wound didn't need any protection ... that the tree would heal itself. WRONG It began rotting in the center of the cut. A couple of years later I burned some trash under the tree and sparks got into the hole. 2 days or so after that smoke started to come out the hole. It looked weird ... but interesting. Since the tree had a lean over an adjacent busy road my concern was immediate so called in the fire brigade. They flushed the tree with water .... but after the fire chief told me the 5th time they could not insure the fire was completely out ... I got the message and called our local 'Top N Drop' tree removal service. Later on the Top N Drop guy removed a Catalpa on the West side of the house. with a 6-7 foot diameter stick. It turned out to be completely hollow with a 2 inch 'rind' around the perimeter. It had bees and squirrel droppings galore. He told me the inner tree 'dirt' would be the best compost available. We got a lot out of it and i used it for just that. The bar he used for the base was enormous ... it had to be over 6 feet long and took all his strength to get it into position ... but he was a huge guy ... and a grin to match.

@@Unsensitive My parents had a tree that fell on their back deck and a minor part of the house. It destroyed their huge deck and the deck stopped the very top of the tree from hitting the house. They tried for many years to get the neighbor to take it down, even offering to pay for it's removal because of the way it was leaning towards their house. I get a phone call that the aged old question of if it would hit the house was answered. Well, their insurance fixed the deck and the house, but it was not entirely "free" because of deductibles. not sure if their insurance went after the other property owner or not, but it still cost them a couple of thousands of dollars.
@@ifly2high344 plus higher insurance rates for YEARS after a claim. People that act like having insurance means a free & easy fix have clearly never had to actually deal with insurance companies and getting them to actual pay out.
There was a company doing similar with white birch limbs about 30-35yrs ago, we almost made more selling the limbs than what we made off the cord wood sold to the paper mill.
Jacob, you and Randy need one of those knuckle booms when you start your own company! New concept with tree trimming.....fell a tree take a bath in it! LOL Another great video Jacob! Love the tour of "The Plant Guy" Amazing what he can do with wood that would have been chipped up!
Thats super cool how they reuse the trees after they are cut down🤘 and the plant guy's left arm tattoo was pretty cool with the forest going around his arm💙🤘
18:35 Most of those cuts were in the perfect spot for that branch to fit in the trailer, but not lose more of the branch. That was some impressive guesswork.
Had to cut a maple down today, with a rotten trunk, so I cut a high stump, and there was no holding wood left, it was a miracle that it didn’t crumble. Went well anyway, cool vid Jake.
Thanks for another great vid and for your willingness to drive your editor nuts with your banter with Randy. All of you tree guys seem to have the same crazy sense of humor. Safe travels with your adventures Mark K aka Midnightmusicfan
I like how when when Mitch is in the shot, you make sure his chest and abs are centered in frame and his head is at the very top instead of centering around his face 😛

Got to know the laws that affect your business to operate and stay out of trouble as much as possible.

Don’t fuck with an arborist.
The one thing I've learned from Reddit is that you do NOT f*ck around with trees and tree law.

Nothing like paying taxes on your property only to be told by a suit that's never done any real work that you can't take down a danger tree on your own property...
Alianthus is an invasive species. They stink when in bloom. They should be removed. I have heard folks refer to them as "junk" wood.
There is never a good reason to leave Ailanthus growing. Silly City.
All that trouble to remove an alianthus? The municipalities I've worked for wanted them cut down no exceptions.
There's no situation that government can't make worse.
That was a very enjoyable episode! I actually laughed when y'all were climbing in the hollow stump.
Mitch, the terminator of trees. That knuckle crane saw is an amazing piece of equipment.

I'm 13 years old and a neighbor recently gave me a Husqvarna 340. After cleaning it up and putting some bar and chain oil in, it runs great. I will be buying chaps next time that I get paid so that I can run it.
Tube salad - the universal arborist meal 😂 Love Randy’s matrix style back bending camera work too
btw that fern on those live oaks is called ressurection fern and when it doesnt get rain for a while it turns brown and looks dead but right when you get rain it turns green and livens up again, you can pour water on some brown ressurection fern and watfch it turn green hahah its very cool
Here I am, cutting trees & firewood in a blizzard, while Jake is smiling in the Florida sun. LOL
DAAAAMN!!!! That boom is wicked!!! NICE for getting into little pockets like this for sure, but I REALLY enjoy watching you do what you do... climb trees and cut them down!!
Those trees are incredible.
Had a tree with a similar problem, that mud at 34.33 had a funky smell and turned out to be pure compost, collected it and planted in it and the plants are thriving!!!
Great show! 😂Had a few good laughs from your jokes👍
Jaws of Randy
Randy always gets best supporting actor. He's like the Barney Fife to JR's Andy Griffith.
With tree trimming I note there are times when the service does not DRESS the wound left on the tree. We had a huge 60 + year soft Maple with a 5-6 foot diameter stick on the North side of our home...but after high winds scaring us a bit we decided a 1-2 foot diameter branch hanging over our roof had to go. A local part time guy cut it. I asked him about dressing the tree wound to avoid disease, insects, et cetera but he said the wound didn't need any protection ... that the tree would heal itself. WRONG It began rotting in the center of the cut. A couple of years later I burned some trash under the tree and sparks got into the hole. 2 days or so after that smoke started to come out the hole. It looked weird ... but interesting. Since the tree had a lean over an adjacent busy road my concern was immediate so called in the fire brigade. They flushed the tree with water .... but after the fire chief told me the 5th time they could not insure the fire was completely out ... I got the message and called our local 'Top N Drop' tree removal service. Later on the Top N Drop guy removed a Catalpa on the West side of the house. with a 6-7 foot diameter stick. It turned out to be completely hollow with a 2 inch 'rind' around the perimeter. It had bees and squirrel droppings galore. He told me the inner tree 'dirt' would be the best compost available. We got a lot out of it and i used it for just that. The bar he used for the base was enormous ... it had to be over 6 feet long and took all his strength to get it into position ... but he was a huge guy ... and a grin to match.

You guys are hilarious, too much fun! Bottom line you removed a pretty dangerous tree. Nice work, very impressive with the heavy equipment.
Nice to see that the American dream is still alive
Thanks man 🙌
The neighbors are most likely the ones who called and complained to begin with, causing the police and code enforcement to come out!
💯 that’s definitely what that was about.
Yep the neighbors were concerned about losing there "free shade" and to "protect" a old tree
@@KILLKING110 their house isn't the one at major risk, plus if it does fall on theirs, that's a "free" remodel!
@@Unsensitive My parents had a tree that fell on their back deck and a minor part of the house. It destroyed their huge deck and the deck stopped the very top of the tree from hitting the house. They tried for many years to get the neighbor to take it down, even offering to pay for it's removal because of the way it was leaning towards their house. I get a phone call that the aged old question of if it would hit the house was answered. Well, their insurance fixed the deck and the house, but it was not entirely "free" because of deductibles. not sure if their insurance went after the other property owner or not, but it still cost them a couple of thousands of dollars.
@@ifly2high344 plus higher insurance rates for YEARS after a claim. People that act like having insurance means a free & easy fix have clearly never had to actually deal with insurance companies and getting them to actual pay out.
There was a company doing similar with white birch limbs about 30-35yrs ago, we almost made more selling the limbs than what we made off the cord wood sold to the paper mill.
Hello for mitch from slovenia svaka cast za firmu u americi
Hvala! Pozz
This was really fun! Along with educational. Thanks!
Jacob, you and Randy need one of those knuckle booms when you start your own company! New concept with tree trimming.....fell a tree take a bath in it! LOL Another great video Jacob! Love the tour of "The Plant Guy" Amazing what he can do with wood that would have been chipped up!
Thats super cool how they reuse the trees after they are cut down🤘 and the plant guy's left arm tattoo was pretty cool with the forest going around his arm💙🤘
Mitch seems very knowledgeable.
Thanks man
A clean shaven arborist that knows his stats.... something to aspire to Randy 😉😉😉
As soon as that old lady walks over Jake let’s the bark box do it’s thing lol
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing your experiences
i know the job is extremely stressful but you seem like your having just a blast.
18:35 Most of those cuts were in the perfect spot for that branch to fit in the trailer, but not lose more of the branch. That was some impressive guesswork.
Great piece of kit takes away a lot of labour + time 😊
Randy reminds me so very much of Peter McKinnon. His looks, his mannerisms, is all there lol
That is Quite the Machine! Keeps everyone on the Ground!
Love the videos Jake. Take care and work safely!
Had to cut a maple down today, with a rotten trunk, so I cut a high stump, and there was no holding wood left, it was a miracle that it didn’t crumble. Went well anyway, cool vid Jake.
Thanks for another great vid and for your willingness to drive your editor nuts with your banter with Randy.
All of you tree guys seem to have the same crazy sense of humor.
Safe travels with your adventures
Mark K aka Midnightmusicfan
amazing knuckleboom work. another great vid. thanks Jake
I like how when when Mitch is in the shot, you make sure his chest and abs are centered in frame and his head is at the very top instead of centering around his face 😛
I like that too!! 🤗😉
I like that knuckle boom but I really enjoy what our fallbach can do
It's hard for me to believe that dude just came to America and is doing so well
you might well know this but the hardest part is getting to america with the right to remain and work there. that process tends to filter through industrious people more likely to succeed
@@cliveramsbotty6077defo if your good at what you do and really work hard you’ll go far it’s loveing what you do and you can tell with some they don’t like it and aren’t happy and it shows
shouldn't be, that's why everyone from all over comes here. Because of that reason there. I know plenty with the same story. Don't let the liberal millionaires tell you otherwise.
The real American dream.
He’s not lazy we will trade some libs for more like him
