Awesome job Chris just love your videos They bring me great joy
so easy to forget how big these machines and trees are when you see it from the cab then at about 31mins when you walked from the 330 to push the tree over you looked so small in comparison! Huge trees and root balls
I like the idea of leaving the grapple up and open. Just in case the tree took a bad turn. Great work in cramped confines.
Your experience shows with taking that tree down. You make it look easy when we know darn well it’s a nail biter!
Nice ker-thwak sounds from those trees!
Nice video Chris. Nice job with the big tree.
Great job Chris , that was tight.
a few nice looking saw logs.
Chris going from machine to machine around that tree put into perspective the scale of the job.
Absolutely Great Job!!!
The 330 with a stumper, the 220 with a grapple, and Barney the haul truck. Quite a combination, Chris.
Great job Chris
I saw you moving that little house and I was like: You can do it Chris,You can do it!!! And there You are. There's nothing imposible fou You Chris.
Congratulations on a successful job.
I was fully expecting to see the forks poke through the floor of that shed. As always, thanks for sharing.
A stressful take down for sure i puckered to well done Chris 👍👋🇨🇦
Brings back memories of using my skid steer to bring a “Doll House” over from my neighbors to my house
Has the 330 exceeded the 400 hours per year that you predicted yet?
30:20 That gives a good perspective of just how big the tree was. Any idea on the diameter?
Good afternoon!
Enjoyed this video bro it shows being prepared is so important when dealing with power cables. Safe travels. Ken.
We just had a tornado go through our neighborhood recently. We have mostly pine trees some of them are close to 50 years old. What a mess. It took down hundreds of trees Clean up is unreal. They have Hugh forestry type machinery doing the clean up. A lot of logs are being harvested but that still leaves a big mess to contend with
Really close quarters, good job Chris
That was surgical Chris! beautifully done, A little extra sweat on the brow, but you pulled it off!
Wow, that place looks like a war zone with that big tree down, that would have trashed that house, if all they have to do is splice that powerline and run it back to the box, that`s not bad, not bad at all, well done sir.
Exceptional finesse!
1 tree - 2 excavators - 1 operator - TIMBER! Success!! Chris: "I need a Pepsi! Make that two!"
When you move the shed I kept saying “ keep going, keep moving “ and held my breath lol you made it and I was breathing again 😊
Another job well done Chris
Man the 330 is a beast and the 220 with the grapple makes that job look so easy peasy.Nice job bud
The next Workday on the Abandoned Farm. You root out a large Number Trees round the old Farmhouse. That a clearing to origin what this Wood Hous a beauty Charme give. The Barn give You a new Position. The Planing from the new Formation make the Work Interesting. Excellent Video however. 👌
Just think Chris that's a good example of why you should always call 811 before you dig . Good job on precautionary measures.
Yeah Chris Good Job Man.
Down here our electric lines are buried and they are covered in concrete and have a warning tape on top of that. The other option was to run conduit from the pole to the house.
I think you could have picked up the shed with the 330 and a hook on each side of the eve easy peezy 😊
Nice work.
Chris is pulling an Andrew Camerata right there, moving that shed!
Nice job my friend👍👍😎
Big ole tree makes a hell of a crash landing when it hits the ground Chris!
I worked for a telephone company and an excavator is an exceptional buried utility locator
