DIY Tree Removal - Is The Risk Worth the Reward?

Awesome job for a treefella!

I think that there are 1 maby 2 bolts on the left side, and the engine swings out. Check with Dirt Perfect.

I was actually wondering if it was 3 o’clock at the point you announced it was 3 o’clock so thank you for that 😁🤣 Excellent as always Mike, best wishes to you and yours, from Britain 👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

Mike, just before cutting the main trunk down, I saw the view to the river and said, 'You know, that would be a nice place for a live web cam!" But, the tree had to come down!

There is a reason I wash up with tecnu when I'm done for the day and add it to my laundry for my forestry clothing. Too many times I've not seen poison ivy - but it saw me. Good work with everything Mike.

Your personality and incredible attitude hide the fact that you are quite the skilled craftsman in many, many areas. I bet there are a boatload of people who couldn’t just “wing it” like you do!!
Did I tell you that you’ve made it to my top 5 content creators?? Yup!!

Captain looking great! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

You took that Sycamore down like an almost Buckin' Billie. Nice job Mike.

I do believe since the boom on that articulates calling it a trebuchet is more accurate, besides if you had accidentally launched yourself into the atmosphere in an attempt to emulate Icarus screaming “trebuchet” as you are yeeted towards the heavens would sound way cooler than catapult. Glad you got it on the ground safely Captain!

"Maybe I do have too many projects ?" .............. Speaking of which....Did we ever finish the Chicken coop ??

Thanks Cap, I now have Vertigo, Forget about it. ❤

One sycamore carefully removed, after 1500 😮😂💪
Hinging the branches worked well for you, only a slight brush with a certain camera splat !!!
Those Hipa chains and carb are working well for you, maybe you should put a bright coloured sticker on the top of the battery, then you should know which way is up ! 🤓
I enjoyed the break neck speed ride in the cherrypicker, took me hours to redo my hair afterwards 🤣🤦‍♂️

Awesome job there taking down that tree safely Captain.
What happened to your face sheild and hearing protection and helmet combo rig a roony ?
Seems like working amongst those branches with the gas chainsaw it might have been a good idea to use it.
I know you have in the past.
Anyways, thanks for the afternoon after hurricane entertainment.

Hey Mike, Thanks HIPA for helping out THE Captain! The small log sections might be useful to a woodworker if your area has any...just thunking outloud! Love watching your progress! Be safe. Thumbs up! Jim

Why don't you talk some of your suckers?The viewers and to buy and your trailer

Great job cutting the tree great video thanks Mike

You can never have to marry projects. But you can have to little time and money. The parking lot is at least 3x larger than when you bought the gym. I'm glad you are able to save the building and bring it back to life. Another thing, you finding the oil filter leaking probably saved DP a lot of trouble in the future. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

I have no doubt that the DP crew has put more long distance miles on that man lift than any other owner. The fact that it keeps going after all that constant traveling proves it was a good investment.

Great job getting the tree cut down. It's a great shade tree, but the real-estate is necessary for the future building. And a potential tree through the roof of the headquarters building is voided.

It'll be great to see the new old dump truck moving beyond the DP yard and hauling the tree out.

I think that was the State tree you just cut down !!

😎

Thats what is great.... never know which rabbit hole we are going down.... lol

surely not too many projects! Lol your a beast, grabbing the biggest saw and head for the top, that is why you are Captain K

It looked like you knew how to cut that tree down. Grab some of that ivy and make life interesting for a while.

good work

C'mon Logger Wade...
100K subscribers please.... step up your game.

great video Mike and you barely hit us with the branches 😁, parking area is going to look amazing 👍👍👍👍👍

If I was close enough, I would take a lot of it for making bowl blanks for wood turning

Please wear your harness when running jlg, seen a few nasty things happen.

I kinda like the randomness of your many projects and your right. A guy can’t have too many projects. 😂

Kleeman Khronikles kontinue...good progress on the World Headquarters. Some times you just get "sycamore" trees around and you gotta cut them out of the way. (Did you see what I did there Bud?) It's really cool to see the continuing "run wut ya brung" theme on this channel...really good inspiration to young folks coming up who watch this channel. As always....great channel, great content.

🙂

You might want to contact your local wooed club, as a turner myself Sycamore is a great wood for beautiful bowls and other crafts.

What’s that big river in the background

Well planned and executed, hope the earplugs were installed. Thanks Hipa for the sponsorship!

That’s a BIG cottonwood tree!

You did a Bonzo job on taking that down! Great job and video!

Logger Wade Calling logger Wade😂😂

Capt why didn’t you un-pin the engine on the lift and swing it out? Make getting to the filter a lot easier.

Re: World Headquaters.
Would cutting out a portion of the gym area floor large enough for your larger equipment ? Then make the same area of the ground floor cement so you can drive the equipment into the now increased height area. This way the original foot print of the building won't change however the increased interior of the equipment area will be available.

Didn’t drop anything in to the pool, that’s a good thing.

Those trees are always blurry when driving by them. And you know, people in the car don’t like me taking a nap when driving.

That lift is a Jewell, As usual, a good 'Captain' job. Nothing like the right tools for the job.

When your wife calls and asks for Mr. Kleeman, THAT'S when you have too many projects.😂🤣🤙

If you'd cut a wedge in each of those pieces, then cut from the other side just like cutting a tree at the ground, they will fall over away and off the bar, and you won't have struggle so much pushing them over either. That's how every tree guy I've watched videos of about cutting trees down like you did this one do it, so it's not me just saying it. Only trying to be helpful to you and to anyone else who may be getting ready to do this.

What ever happened to the boat project?

Potato truck coming soon!!💪🤗🇺🇸

How convenient and/or confidential that DP picked up a couple of lifts!!

💪👍👌
