Safety and professionalism aside, the biggest concern for the home owner here is the fact that if any of the workers gets hurt or falls off the roof, if they are not working to industry standards then the insurance companies they hold policies with may refuse claims. this would leave the home owner open to civil claims from the injured parties being that you would now be deemed the Principle contractor. This is a big problem in our industry. you were all lucky this time round.
Good Bye old friend that was the 67th tree out of 290000000067 then nek minute 290000000000 to go then i say Good bye Good byeeiei (pronounced Eeeee eye ee eye ee eye after the good bye) :(
Theres a set of national safety regulations called the Z133.1 and these guys are in violation of many of the standards. Oh by the way I do mostly removal work and as a professional I am Line Clearance Certified so that I can work on trees that are within 10 of electrical conductors.
really good bye ol friend and a pic of a guy up in a tree for the video preview - i was looking for somebody to fall and get seriously hurt - so your ol friend was a tree, think you need more friends and better things to youtube bud
small company and good job no damage and no injuries thats all that matters so there not wearing all the proper safety equipment they did a fine job if you need more work done call them back all these bad comments are from line clearance assholes any way, there just jealous because all they do is trim trees with a pruner all day and couldn't take down that tree on their best day it was not an easy tree and all I am saying is good job guys.
@axman300 ive been climbing 15 years and i agree man, although as far as removals go it wast that tough either, i mean it wasnt a notch and drop but they had alot of room to swing stuff and it wasnt big, but from the videos ive been motivated to look at today they arent clowns by any means, clean cut hard working guys trying to earn an honest living
id reserve any more praise without seeing a trim job
Gotta get me a pair of those chainsaw khakis. They look comforatable. To think all these years I`ve been wearing maximum protection head gear, glasses, muffs and pants. Just shows you any Jimmy with a saw can get paid as an arborist....sick. Oh yeah, and rigging out of the carabiner,...classic. Backpack blower guy on the roof was funny too. Oh! and to top it off....the one handed final cut with one hand on the corner of the house,....those guys are bums....bad name for us all.
ANSI? Anybody? CSA? Health and Safety? Cant be professionals - professionals wouldnt risk the fines and wouldnt risk injuring themselves or others. These guys wouldnt last a day on my crew - kickin rocks. Prime example of liability and huge insurance rates. Great video about who NOT to hire.
Some Dumb scally wags saw me climbing with all my ropes and gear in the park! they said climbing was piss easy and they could do it without all the gear! so I asked him to climb up and do a branch walk with his phone in one hand! they soon realised there error as his friend could not grip around the main stem of the tree to get access to first scaffold branch! they walked off looking like right dick heads. Cool video guys, free advice to tree planters..................space!
Wow! A lot of "armchair generals" in here. The job they did was decent. Unnecessary saw size? Are you kidding? How many saws do you think they have? Probably three - a climbing saw, a mid-size saw and a big saw. It's actually easier to use a big saw on the ground as it's less of a job. The notch? He was cutting a stump not felling a tree. sheesh, you guys!
Their safety practices are no better or worse than 99% of the tree companies out there.. looks like they could have rigged from the adjacent tree or at least run the lowering line from the ground with redirect if needed. No need to run the lines from the roof. And they need to learn basic falling technique. This is a totally unregulated industry with over 99% of the workers recieving no formal training of any kind. This is what you end up with..
i give the tree guys 2 thumbs up for their excellent work. who ever you are that posted this vid you need to understand that most of the posters on this site are very unhappy with them selves for being in their 30s and 40s and still living at home with their mommy and step daddy
Im 31 with a wife and in my own home. I have been involved with arboriculture for my entire life. Recently contracted for a large utility company to reclaim and re-treat right of ways. I climb and do removals along with pruning on my own. Where I'm from you need a considerable ammount of training. Six thousand hours working in proximity to energized conductors and college instruction then one can write the board exam. I am also the certified health and safety rep.
@sonorri first I said most not all. second I dont know if you are for this guys way or against him?
I believe the crew did just fine in the fact that the tree was romoved without the aid of a redneck tring to pull it down with his truck and that there was no damage done to the house or yard that wasnt allready done by the tree its self
All this time talking about their ppe when I'd be more worried about the sections hitting the roof! , Weight has to be accounted for and tension on the weekest part of the rig, using karibiners are not required (at all). Certainly not using one for the pivot!!! A rope has a bend ratio of 4-1 and he was way exceeding that!! should of used a cast pulley that can take the load. WTF was the groundy doing on the roof?? 69 kg bloke with approx 19.5 in his hands! glad its not my roof! bad job
Don't forget that everyone on youtube is an expert.....thats why they spend all day and night criticising everyones work. Yes, they could have had better safety equipment but overall they did a fine job. Looks good !!
"an awesome job"??? wtf are you talking about? yeah they got the tree down with out any accidents but like everyone else said! the notch was like 3/4 through the tree when its only supposed to be atleast a1/4 through just a bunch of rookie mistakes is all
whats the point of hi-vis if youre not wearing any other ppe?
you also made the job twice as hard for the ground man on the roof, coulda used another tree to rope the branches halfway across the yard. and using a saw with a bar that big on the ground was completely uneccessary. Harder to handle, heavier, and just plain and simple the bar was 3 times as long as what you were cutting through.
who ever told ya that these guys were unsafe doesnt have a fucken clue, the only thing they did wrong was worken with no chaps or hard hats, other than that, they did a awsome job
another thing-if ppl wanna be dumb enough to wear NO PPE at all,they very well could get theirs one day.....but them orange guys will fire u if u dont have ALL of it on ALL the time on the jobsite.....its ridiculous......
im not mister safety, but, watching this, im amazed these guys still get work/are alive/havent been investigated by OSHA/ - pushing the stump, from the roof? why chance almost falling off!!! it already has a rope in it.
what the hell at 1:48 ? dude almost slipped off the roof, especially holding onto an anchor line, what a freakin moron. i had to pause the video and type this, ill continue watching and see what else these morons were up to.
what the hell?! he went from struggling to get through the stump with a top handle saw to another stihl with a bar probally about 15" too big, guys an idiot and obviously doesnt care what he equipment he uses on any job
@HGBMX You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The little saw is light and efficient for all the climbing work. he bigger saw is to get the job done right when on the ground. If you are falling a 40" tree, do you put on a 42" bar? If you are falling a 20" tree do you put on a 24" bar? In this business, you run what you brung. I use a 34" bar every day, cutting down everything I have to from 1" to almost 6'. Anything bigger will justify a bar change.
@stumpybeaver666 your a fucking idiot! i use a stihl ms200t every day in a tree and you can fell pretty big trees with them, and obviously you have a big saw on the ground but his saw is just too big, so big its actually dangerous, i use the right bar for what i need, i dont stick a 46" bar on my MS260 to cut up a few little branches
WEAR YOUR SAFETY GEAR!!! I really like that one hand on the Chainsaw while trying to flush cut that stump. Horrible trade practice all around. Don't be stupid, chainsaws, chippers and swinging branches are NOT your friend. Maybe you should go back to trimming hedges.
Novices. Wear your hard hat. They couldn't even cut the stump off flat. And they have a guy pushing the stub from the roof, that rope should have been winched, or at least use a pike pole. I'm an arborist and I know I would get fired if i worked like that
@pudster420 Why do I think that you probably do a girly job in an office and feel the need to denigrate men doing something that needs balls, skill and brains?
I've done a very few (and a 60-foot birch growing up against my weekend cabin yet to go) so I am most definitely NOT the best, but I loved it. Much better than geek work, although the clearing up and disposal wasn't so great.
@1313edward your wrong most people think this stuff is really cool and think about how exciting it is to any community when a big tree is removed that is big action your whole mindest is wrong totally. People like to see it cause it is cool and exciting not because they want you to get hurt you are wrong completely.
@1313edward your a judgmental faggot. jwestern shouldnt have to take shit from assumptive assholes like you. maybe people film it cuz ur job is kinda epic.... dick
careless work...have had a lot of tree work on my 150 foot poplars, and our tree man would never let branches smash down on anything, nor does he let branches swing out of control on their way down..
@minkyblack ur an idiot and really u cant always control thing on a rope and some brances are small it it hits something its not going to damage shit so dont worry about it and u cant do so keep ur mouth shut ur a dumbass
Your obviously not a good enough tree trimmer. Sounds like you can climb, but you cannot trim. You need 2 hands to start a chainsaw... why not use 2 hands when cutting.
Part One: Why you really dont know what your talking about. Ive been cutting trees for 15 years. I was taught to run a saw when most kids were at summer camp. In all this time, dropping trees all over CO and the east coast, I have not once-
hurt myself badly.
broken anything beyond a picnic table (we replaced it)
How can this be?? simple, im not a moron. I dont stand under the climber on my cell phone, I keep back. We lower anything that has any possible chance of hitting anything.
Lets see homeowner wanted tree removed, crew did as requested without damage or injury. seems like life things are as they should be. judge not lest ye be judged.
LOL. Talk about being enthusiastic for an early grave.
A question for those dumb enough not to wear PPE - how will your wife feed the kids when you're incapacitated/dead and your insurance refuses to pay out because you weren't wearing PPE?
Yea i wonder that myself it takes 2 seconds to put on your gear... i worked ground crew this pass summer... so many times i was happy to have that hard hat on... can wait to start my apprenticeship this summer. : )
Trees in Detroit always close to houses, lok like he could have Rig from the other tree,we have a lot for Ash bore dis-ease here, I think the bore is finding other trees beside Ash as host
definate lack of protective equipment, and some one-handed chainsaw usage, but it's their lives so its up to them! so long as no one got hurt and your property was undamaged then they did a good job
I'll say one thing. I am glad they aren't using my ropes and if they were qualified arborist not one single peice of that tree should have touched the roof of that house. Definitley a better way than that.
Jwestern. Tree services should be insured, not bonded. Bonding only ensures completion, not protection from property damage.
To all the asshats saying that they don't wear PPE. You need to find another line of work. The tree industry kills more people than any other industry in non-driving work related accidents. operating safely and using all the protective gear at your disposal is a must. The truth is that you people are cheap. The gear is out there. It is comfortable and ergonomic .
@achuro800 PPE=Personal Protective Equipment, Hard hats, visors, gloves, boots, etc, etc. Oh, and ear defenders. ("Pardon? No sorry, can't hear any more, I used to work with power tools without ear defenders." So stupid.)
AWL3rd..a real arborist never tops a tree??since when?im working in the forest and power lines in sweden.you kan't compere forest with privat propety.like tarmac2001 say : no damege on the propety ;).you must top the tree in this case and take it easy,not like in the forest.
well me and like 18 people removed a gigant frickin oak from some guys back yard we where there the whole day. and we still managed to get the BBQ destroyed
You guys did great. No bucket truck, no problem and no property damage.
Felling a tree is one thing, but doing it without knocking out 25,000 without power and causing no property damage is a trade that requires more skill than most people realise.
I topped trees for years back in the 80s. had my own company even. I never wore any protection when climbing but definitely on the ground. They did the job just fine but yeaf wouldn't have risked standing on the roof. Might've knocked some shingles free
Now cmon fellas, this all could have been alot funner by including some alcohol, cant beat calling all the cousins over for a few beers an fun with the gas axe,
First off the guy roping the stuff down SHOULD be on the ground doing that.Ive done tree work for many years and I have never seen it done that way.That endangers the house and the idiot on the house..
been thinking not offten but i was thinking,its very easy to sit back and say you should have done this n that iam sure if you were on site with my self you could pick out afew things too ,take care and enjoy the rush.
i personally cant stand head gear as well as ear muffs. they make me sweat n i cant focus as well. i do wear eye glasses occassionally on the tree sites. But good job guys
this is a good combination of safety, knoledge and experience

Novices. Wear your hard hat. They couldn't even cut the stump off flat. And they have a guy pushing the stub from the roof, that rope should have been winched, or at least use a pike pole. I'm an arborist and I know I would get fired if i worked like that

Muppets.... No helmets or earmuffs or safety glasses. The groundy on the rope on the roof was lucky not to get his teeth knocked out.
And that scarf at 3:20 was appalling ... Sure they got the job done but its only a matter of time til they hurt.

@pudster420 Why do I think that you probably do a girly job in an office and feel the need to denigrate men doing something that needs balls, skill and brains?
I've done a very few (and a 60-foot birch growing up against my weekend cabin yet to go) so I am most definitely NOT the best, but I loved it. Much better than geek work, although the clearing up and disposal wasn't so great.

@1313edward your wrong most people think this stuff is really cool and think about how exciting it is to any community when a big tree is removed that is big action your whole mindest is wrong totally. People like to see it cause it is cool and exciting not because they want you to get hurt you are wrong completely.

Your obviously not a good enough tree trimmer. Sounds like you can climb, but you cannot trim. You need 2 hands to start a chainsaw... why not use 2 hands when cutting.

Part One: Why you really dont know what your talking about. Ive been cutting trees for 15 years. I was taught to run a saw when most kids were at summer camp. In all this time, dropping trees all over CO and the east coast, I have not once-
hurt myself badly.
broken anything beyond a picnic table (we replaced it)
How can this be?? simple, im not a moron. I dont stand under the climber on my cell phone, I keep back. We lower anything that has any possible chance of hitting anything.

I worked as a groundsman for a tree surgeon in London, and this is pretty much how it was, safety is always a compromise in such a hard work job.
Take no notice of all the negative comments, the world is full of ill informed health and safety tyrants.

definate lack of protective equipment, and some one-handed chainsaw usage, but it's their lives so its up to them! so long as no one got hurt and your property was undamaged then they did a good job

I'll say one thing. I am glad they aren't using my ropes and if they were qualified arborist not one single peice of that tree should have touched the roof of that house. Definitley a better way than that.

Jwestern. Tree services should be insured, not bonded. Bonding only ensures completion, not protection from property damage.
To all the asshats saying that they don't wear PPE. You need to find another line of work. The tree industry kills more people than any other industry in non-driving work related accidents. operating safely and using all the protective gear at your disposal is a must. The truth is that you people are cheap. The gear is out there. It is comfortable and ergonomic .

You guys did great. No bucket truck, no problem and no property damage.
Felling a tree is one thing, but doing it without knocking out 25,000 without power and causing no property damage is a trade that requires more skill than most people realise.

I topped trees for years back in the 80s. had my own company even. I never wore any protection when climbing but definitely on the ground. They did the job just fine but yeaf wouldn't have risked standing on the roof. Might've knocked some shingles free
