omg that made me a little sick. i though he was gonna make a face cut but no he went for the whole thing.

I don't know if a face cut would have even mattered, looks like where he had it tied off it was going that way no matter what. Sad part is it looks like he set that camera up himself so he could film what a great tree guy he is..

At least he was wearing his work tunes...

This should be a sticky in the home owners forum. Next time I read," I need advice on removing a tree in my front yard", I redirect them to this thread. Sure its easy, just get a chainsaw and a long latter, maybe some rope from home depot. Save some money. I mean how hard could it be?:msp_tongue:
 
As you know I was in Alabama working for 6 months... As scary as those guys are they look like pros compared to some I saw working there... I love how the dude straddles the spar "cowboy style" That's the sign of a true pro... :laugh:

wow i mean they say they are pros but i mean how many of them things have you guys seen stand back up? really just sit on it. it looks like that was the first uprooted pine they cut or any tree. then when they say things like you never know where its gonna go when you cut it... omg

For me, every time I try to hold down an uprooted tree (straddling it cowboy style) while I cut,.. It still stands back up for some reason....wtf?
 
Danno hit it head on, that IS where the fire comes from. That is the level of crews around here, JUST LIKE THAT.
"wez proofeesinal" "they talking bout us everywhere" I bet they are!

Just this year, that guy had his daughter on the job site, he cut one, it stood right up, daughter was playing under the root ball when it did, sad.

OH, and for the record! I agree on the crazy colors, they hurt my eyes! now I cant figure out how to change mine back? Now its all black?
I was going to change my title to Treeacologist,Treetard or Prafesional Treeculterist, but it wont let me

I brought my ground hand with me from Oklahoma to help me in Alabama. He had never seen trees that big. The first uprooted pine I did was layed over into another pine and hung up. Line clearance guys had already worked it back to the pressure point. I just made a cut near the root ball and snatched it out of the other pine. When I made my cut about 6 feet from the root ball my groundy was standing right up on me on the other side of the trunk. I told him you might want to step back for a minute. When I made my undercut the root ball and remaining trunk shot up like a rocket. My groundy's eyes got real big and he said DAM!. LOL, it was an eye opening experience for him to say the least.

Man you would think with all that work those guys did in alabama they could at least buy a pair of earmuffs let alone a helmet. Imajine being around at their lunch break youd here them yelling at eachother from 100 meters away. People must realise that pros wear ppe over there right? Let alone limbing up with a 24 inch bar
