IKR? It certainly helps to not flip the crane truck over.

This is a Pepe's exclusive right here, you don't get to see this kind of job on every tow/recovery channel! I absolutely loved this video man. Alex did a great job holding the tree with Big Flipper, Hulio the crane operator did a great job hoisting the pieces, and the arborist in the red helmet did a great job being a spider monkey like a pro, sawing them pieces with style. But that one cut man, that scared me when the trunk piece rebound on the two guys up there, scary. Great drone shots, great communication with the crew, respect all around, and excellent professionalism.

As a 32-year, Chicago area semi truck driver who works twelve of the nineteen rail yards here, this was amazing! Drivers here keep your colleagues in these parts very busy.

I have been an Arborist / tree climber for 49 years. As far as jobs go my best and most liked work has always been crane work. I'm posting my comment 46 minutes into the video before the 1st pick was taken from the tree. Your work so far has been great, and very safe from every thing I have seen. I'll add another comment after I have watched the rest of the video and the job is completed. Keep up the good work.

I thought it looked like a ceder tree from the bark but that be big for a ceder , eucalyptus makes more sense.

Josh, congratulations, your team is awesome, I always enjoy watching everything you post, rock on man!

I work in insurance. Loggers is the highest casualty rate. respect

I was laughing so hard when you said the tree is a "Widow Maker". Like a peach, pear and window maker. So in Catalina Island they imported a lot of Eucalyptus trees from Australia, and their strong roots are to help stabilize the roads cut into the side of a mountain. This looks like a 100 year old Eucalyptus tree. Any tree can become a widow maker. What happens is the wind can break off a limb, and then it gets stuck in the upper limbs. Then when the wind is just right, the branch can fall down on someone, making their wife a widow. This tree is uprooted, and can make the whole family a widow! LOL. Good think they noticed the tree falling, before it crushed anything below it. It's a great thing that the Eucalyptus has very strong roots! The guy cutting down that tree, he needs to have two saws! The blades can quickly get dull, with all of the sap from a healthy tree. Each cut is about 3 or 4 square feet, so much more than cutting up a dozen 9" diameter logs. The tree section taken down at 54 minutes into this video, I am happy you found out the weight is 7,000 pounds! Of course getting closer to the base of the tree, a 7 foot long section is going to be heavier. Many people do not understand that the 40 ton crane is near it's capacity when taking down a "Unknown" but 7,000 to 9,000 pound tree section. It is so far from the center line of the crane pivot point. Great video! I am very happy you skipped through the right amount of the boring parts! And kept in a lot of the parts that are interesting.

Great work Alex. You get to work in some wow places. Thanks NZ. A really long day for you.

Wow !! Pepe's and Alex can get it done.

This video was pretty epic. I love seeing these trucks getting used for all kinds of things. It's got to be an interesting job. And how about that dude clinging to the piece of tree swinging through the air. Hats off to that guy.

The miracle is in the mind of the operator !

👍👍👍 Absolute PROS!!👍👍👍

My son and I work for 4 years as carpenters for a fire and storm damage contractor. Every time we had to work late in a "high end" neighborhood, there was always some rich lady screaming about the noise and often about the trucks in the street.

I watched the first video of yours yesterday morning. A Camry was stuck under an 18 wheeler near the 605 freeway. I am a NEW subscriber that is totally impressed with your knowledge of recovery. I drove trucks for 20 yrs. and was only on the hook twice, had an engine seize and lost a turbo, no accidents. Love your top notch equipment and your presentation of content. The tree stabilization was very interesting and I take my hat off to the tree cutter. Like I said, yesterday was my first video with you guys, I stopped watching them at midnight last night! Great work and thanks !

Good job Alex. Congratulations Josh on reaching 100,000!!!!

Home owners got super lucky having had 2 equally professional companies do that job! Alex is the man! Great job piecing it all together Josh.

Josh it's so cool when the drone is used, fantastic views Josh and Alex. Fantastic channel

You and Big Flipper always seem to get the weird jobs Alex. This one has to be counted as one of the strangest for sure. Job well done.

House lifting, wrecking, towing and now lumbering you guys are doing a great job. Keep the contents going and remember it's easy to critisice when you only is watching a video but if you are on the spot it's something else. Stay safe and remember you are doing a great job no matter what it is you are doing. when is it time to get the cables changed on flipper and Hulk? your college from another state has shown how he does it but how are you doing it?

I watched until the end. Very good work on your part. I must say that in all my years I've never seen a climber ride the ball with a pick as this climber did many times. Great job! Looking forward to your next video.

Alex, those guys on the tree with 6 foot chain saws are really at risk! What a job! Great video! High desert cheers from New Mexico! Thanks!

Wesley Pulkkka, Actually they are pretty safe. The guy in the tree is hanging from the 40 ton crane, and they strap on the top of the tree to that crane, then they start to saw off the top of the tree. They have a weight sensor, and are trying to take down 7,000 to 10,000 pound sections of the tree at one time. I know someone who was a tree topper in the forests of Northern California. He would climb a tall tree, and cut off the top 30 feet or so, strapped to the top of the tree he is cutting. Then the tree would potentially start to swing side to side for about 45 seconds. What a ride that is!

What a complex complicated removal of a very large tree with the ever present danger of causing one of cranes to topple or the tree itself well done do all working as a great team even though till the job and also made even harder with the loss of daylight but still got the job done you never knew each other fantastic video

Great shot at 54:02 with that 'saw guy' riding that tree chunk round and round to the ground. Alex! these are great videos. I was excited as though I was there with you. Keep these great videos coming!

Alex another great job, your knowledge of how to set things up in a professional manner is outstanding!!!! Josh keep the content coming it shows how professional you and your team are!!!

Joshua is 3rd generation (Pepe III). He operates a 2020 50-ton Century rotator. Alex is his day time tag team partner assisting him with all the difficult recoveries (We also get easy ones .Lol) He operates a 2019 75-ton rotator. Our long time Salvage / Recovery Specialist Big Dave aka Superman is in charge at night. He operates a 2014 40-ton century on a beautiful black Pete with red flames ( 2024 Calendars are still available for purchase ). The owner Pepe II operates a 2022 Century 60-ton and has 44 years of experience.

Most residents live in the area of Beverly Hills known as "The Flats." The Flats are relatively, well, flat, and they slope away from the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains. That used to be an agricultural area, with just small roads in and out, and like most such, they generally started out as trails, following the lay of the land and the path of least resistance. When they began to settle in that area and it turned to housing, the construction equipment and the trucks to move dirt, rock, and gravel in and out of the area to build up the roads was relatively small, compared to our own time and the massive equipment they have in this day and age. A lot of those roads are still so narrow that a couple of Model As would have to be careful passing one another. Even where roads are wider, there is the matter of parking and all that. It would be a logistical nightmare to get permits and to clear roads and all that, like Josh says. Then, there are all the money elite who are all "you can't tell me what to do!" Different rules for the rich, famous, and connected than there are for the rest of us.

Wow. Good job getting that tree down safely.

Bigger isn't always the best. Sometimes it takes a smaller truck or equipment to get the job done. Also it may take two or three trucks to do a job that a big piece of equipment can't get to to do the job. So these companies that complain about getting a big bill its worth it in my eyes to get the job done and done well. I like watching your videos because I learn things I didn't know and love how you take care of the trucks that flip over.

We have a slogan here at Pepe's "We will tow it, lift it, push it, pull it, yank it, or drag it, but no job gets left behind." Our thought process is that another driver just like ours with another truck just like ours is gonna respond and try to tackle it as well so why pass it on. Besides, the real BIG jobs are routed our way anyway. Most of our competitors accept the call then call a 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th company to help them complete the task at hand. Now that's time consuming and extremely expensive ! Van Lingen Towing out of Torrance , CA has a large fleet of heavy trucks as well and give us a hard run for our money. They are extremely knowledgeable and efficient. We have a lot of respect for them.
