- We now have more evidence, pictures and a video clip of the hanging tractor that was caught up in a dangerous barber chair incident. I'm 99% sure it really happened! I also started cutting on another Big Old Red Oak that went down.

Hi Guys, my mouth is actually watering at the prospect of this project in front of you. Dave in Kent, UK.
Good morning Mike. Liked the work you are doing in the woods. Got a lot of wood to get cut before you get back to the original problem at the pond. You have your hands full for sure. Be careful. Thanks for sharing.
Something I keep forgetting to call out about your videos, the sound level is perfect almost %100 of the time. I watch other people's videos and have to turn my TV way up, then POW back to something normal and I feel like the speakers are going to blow. Thank you for that!
We love the big standing trees and also the great lumber to enjoy in projects. After 50 years of cutting I can sure see that tractor tractor picture being the real thing.
Mike great camera angle in the opening shot. The big oak across the trail with the RK in the background. Also very happy to hear no one was hurt on the Ford tractor mishap. Thanks for taking the time to make these great RUclips videos. I really enjoy watching them. Hi Hunter, I think it's a good weekend for you and dad to go to Burger King for a chicken sandwich. Enjoy.
Lol yep, me and Hunter will be making a trip to BK
Again your instincts serve you well my friend. Thank God he didn't get hurt. Trees barber chair on their own in nature. Seen it happen. God bless
I agree with Mike - looks like it really happened. I’m also proud of Mike for not being fake news! In 2 hours I’ll be on the mountain getting some tractor therapy taking care of some fallen oaks as well. Have a safe weekend!
Your property looks awesome, the first thing you do after work is enjoy work
That's awesome
Morning Mike. I'd say the tractor picture is what it is.
Also, if anyone needed a reminder that safety is job #1, that's a great example.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend 😁
Mike, one thing I am learning from you is "slow and steady = safe and easy". Thanks for another enjoyable educational video. And the big bonus is you get to be outdoors.
That's it!...You've motivated me to go outside and do something!! Love the video Mike. Keep em coming.
Hello Morgans! My wife and I had a big red oak blowdown on our property here in Western Kentucky. Still splitting and stacking getting ready for woodstock2019! Been watching for a while and really enjoy all the content y’all are producing. Our winter has been wet and nasty and we’re ready for spring. We maintain 14 acres with our L3301 and looking forward to getting a grapple. Thanks for all the videos!
P.S Mike I’m a blaster of 10 years and my wonderful wife is a heavy equipment operator for road construction.
That's a shame about that Oak tree. I guess that's the result of the exceptionally wet year we had last year. My guesstimate on the age of that tree is 175 years old. Thanks for sharing. You've been really firing the videos out lately! I love it!
That Big Oak made BIG MESS At the pond!!👍👊
Mike, your video is so clear. Looks like your using a green screen while you're talking. Whatever camera your using, keep it up 👍🏻 your content and quality really sets you part from the other channels.
I think it’s time for another, what’s this tree worth video again. Love the videos Mike. 👍
Great video and new info!!
There is a lot more saw mill stuff in that tree !!! They are not as big but they are fairly straight !! Good saw mill stuff !! Love what y'all do !! Thanks keep it up !!!
Holy cow Mike, the LIMBS on your tree are as big as any free I have personally cut down. I am still a novice at 64! Can't wait to see how you disassemble that monster!
Nice camera angle of that tree laying across the road Mike . Looked like you were in the forests of British Columbia with the branches hanging down from the top of the frame . Yes they are selling the tool rack and the trailer in Ontario now . Have seen them advertised on the Tractor Supply Store web site . Looks like the same trailer that your using . That's good because we see you using things and it gives the public good info on products if we are interested in buying something . Watching you use all of that equipment makes me think how hard the pioneers had it when they first settled the land . Real horse power and cutting every thing by hand . Tree stumps were used as fencing . Great video .
I’ll admit it, I thought it was photoshopped. I seen the video on Facebook a few days ago. I was wr wr wro wrong..
This whole video was one of your best Mike! Well edited, many product placements and great transitions and camera angles. I watched it with my mother and she also enjoyed it!
Keep on tractoring and God bless.
Thanks Jon!
Very possible, the Tractor weight keep it from getting messed up!!! Great job enjoyed that!!
My dad watches every post, He loves your videos.
Trees sometimes have a mind of their own. Never trust them. 😉. Stressing safety first (slow and steady) is a good reminder for all of us. Hi 👋 to the family. Have a great weekend.
wish I was near, id love alot of bowl blanks , cant find anyone around charleston wv nice videos!
Hi Mike, thanks for all the info
That tractor picture looks real to me. the only thing I don't understand is if it was already leaning in the direction he was cutting it why would he be pushing on it to begin with. Also you need to get a chain grinder, I haven't used a file in years, just take a couple of sharp chains with you to the woods. That red oak was some beautiful wood.
I think that picture looks real. Like you said anyone who has cut trees has had close calls. I've had my fair share of close calls and I've learned from every one of them.
I thought it was fake, but seeing the added pics makes more sense of how it happened...
Good morning to ya'll from Mechanicsville, VA
Morning Bob
Love that tool rack! Hey Mike if you ever want to make a logging trailer I have 6 mobile home tires on split rims that I think would work well. Obviously you won't need 6 but your welcome to them. Great video.
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 23 Dec 20.
Mike. You just love to say “barber chair”. Now you got to write it. Cool.
HI Mike, I am up in Binghamton, NY, so not to far away. I just bought my 2nd pressure washer to keep my tractors and UTV clean.
I noticed your tractors are always shiny. Well you and I both know that a day in the woods and everything is mud and filth. I wash my equipment constantly.
Point is you should do a video on how you keep the tractors clean. The pressure you use and how often you do it.
I find cleaning the tractor and UTV immediately is best as the mud has not turned into cement yet! I hate when the sidewalls are muddy so that is biggy.
Paul and Tracy from Hawaii. Still waiting for a barn to go up for all your toys.
Mike you need your self a nice 3pt hitch winch. I’ve got an old farmi winch that I bought new. Wouldn’t trade it for any amount of money.
Wow great video Mike Be careful and work safe.
Thanks Gary!
I too am self taught. Dawned on me after 25 years or so to seek out some quality info on technique. That's when I learned about wedges (both for falling and bucking). Lots more of course. Learned how bore cuts could be done safely and solve many problems. Learned a new cut that is particularly handy for large timber and may be handy on the big oak that is bridged from the root ball to the ground and cantilevered over the pond. I would normally start at the top and keep carving off weight until I reached the trunk. You could cut the saw logs and open the trail with this cut. It tells you tension/compression without binding the saw. Shallow top cut w/ shallow bottom cut in line but not enough to bind. Then a bore cut offset. The bore can't close, but creates 2 hinges. The kerf that closes shows compression. Try it out and see what you think.
Another fun video Mikey!!!
I think that the photo of the tractor in the tree is real and a prime example of using proper safety when cutting trees. I am glad that he is ok and wasnt hurt.
Hi Mike. Great video on grapple and tool carrier.. Would love too know about transmission in rk37 after watching 393 videos.
Hey mike, may be in another video could u give a small run down on how to run a shuttle operated tractor? Nice lumber!
👍🏻, talk about luck, it’s hard to believe that everything worked out to an extent that nothing was damaged. He should purchase a lottery ticket.
Thanks. I enjoy your videos, especially when you aviod repeating yourself.
Man, that's a lot of BTUs. That one tree would heat my house all winter. I thought you were going to slide that smaller log under that butt piece so it wouldn't be on the ground when you cut it off. I just can't believe how many ongoing projects you have on your property. You're a blessed guy.
HR Shaw That's exactly what I thought too! lol Great minds think alike? :)
Hey Mike, This is Rich from Milan, Indiana. The movie "Hoosiers" is about our 1954 team. I teach at the middle school here. Love your channel. Milan is in Southeastern Indiana about 45 miles west of Cincinnati. I have a Stihl MS 291, a wheel barrow, and a real old Briggs and Stranton log splitter. I have learned a lot from your videos and enjoy watching them. Thanks.
Not too far from you. Live in Hamilton, OH but our farm/hunting property just east of East Enterprise, IN. Not much work in the woods today, looks like rain will continue for awhile.
@@douglashingsbergen4304 Great hunting in Switzerland County from what I have heard. We definately have had a bunch of rain lately. We need a dry spell so we can get things done.
Mike be safe messing with that tree around the pond. You may need big red down there to pull the tops out. Have a great day and be safe
That barberchaired tree with the truck on it is totally possible. Since I saw that professional woodsman cut down that leaning tree of yours and it barberchaired on him. That was one scarry moment. I knew cutting down trees could be dangerous, but had no idea that things could happen so fast.
nice! Slow and steady wins the race.
There might be 4-5 cord in all those trees at the pond. Depending upon how far you cut the limbs. A lot of Firewood content upcoming! And I could see that tractor getting lifted into that tree.
Good morning Mike from Allen and Brenda from canada . Is a big tree 210 years old I think that tree is
She almost split instead of falling. What a loss nice oak. God bless
Master Mike-
Good video, but time to get a logging winch!
MIKE, it's nice to see that you didnt "go swimmin " in the pond or get your feet wet. I'm sure Mellisa will this summer when she has her pool?
(I got yer back Mellisa !!)
Its believable thanks for the two videos showing it!
I thought the hanging tractor was real from the get go for two reasons; first, you can’t make stuff like that up and second, if you live long enough everything will happen to you.
Wore my helmet & ear protection for a quick 1/2 hour of work in our woods. Seems like overkill, until a widow-maker branch about 15' long fell and conked me in the head. Not saying it would have killed me but I would have bled for sure. Was sure feeling smart about having a helmet on!
I’ve got a tree like that down near a stream where the root ball will fall down into the stream. Been putting off tackling the job but I need to get to it. There’s another large tree nearby and I’m thinking of using some straps to secure the rootball to that tee so it doesn’t fall down. Sometimes being out in the country can be like an engineering exercise!
I agree with you on the tractor in the tree
Hey Mike what are you going to do with all the wood from all those sawlogs?? Wood for your dream garage and work area for the sawmill???
Including what your going to cut for a saw log, how much firewood do you think is in that Oak?
It looks like there is enough evidence to prove the picture is real. The excavator being there kind of backs up the story too. Glad there weren’t any serious injuries.
Great detective work on the photo. Looks legit to me.
I'm just a jack of all trades also
I hold them logs up in sir cut them up so saw stays out if dirt you have the grabber I just use a chain and bucket
Enjoy your videos good job always willing to learn
Ole farm boy from Tennessee
When I see that tractor dangling from that barber chair, I see the dangerous power of a tree, especially when it splits like that.
Thumbs up
I know what you mean back in the 70s and early 80s before cell phones video games I was outside so much my parents forgot my name
Does RK make a hydraulic winch attachment for the rear of their machines. It would be very helpful in a lot of situations you're in. Great vid. Yes it was a real incident.
Yes, like I said in the other vidja, look at the shadows, they are very difficult to replicate just right on a photoshop edited photo so that alone told me 99% chance it was real, probably more like 99.99% because almost no one has that skill and if they do, they are NOT bothering to photoshop this type of photo.
That saw log is going to produce some beautiful lumber!
this week we were cutting a tree down, and it fell on a wood shed. sucked. not much damage but u never want a tree to go in a direction you dont want it to. what do u do again construction foreman? Grade, road, utility?
I was actually looking for the video of a guy that had his forks in the crook of a lone tree that was side cut and the tree fell to the right taking the Kubota with it. This was pretty impressive too though.
Sad that the red oak had split. Could have made some nice crouch slabs. I learn this from OTW vlog
Agree with ya 👍🤠
Nice red oak? I believe the tractor pic, spend a little time out in the woods cutting trees and you’ll learn the unexpected can happen.
About the tree tractor... one simple reason this happened,, the notch was way to narrow and when the tree bottomed out on the notch it barberchaired. Period. the tree was hardly leaning when notch closed as evident by the standing sliver, You're welcome!
I believe it really happened; Cherry tree, O George at it again huh!
100% agree
Look who got a quick connect!
Have to be careful of the stumps too. I've seen them roll back into place after the trunk is cut free.
I see you still have rounds there from a previous expedition, should have brought the dump trailer and took them home too. I agree about the hanging tractor, you just don't make up stuff like that, glad he and tractor are doing fine.
Seasoned Red Oak .Choice firewood. 👍
When are you getting your mill?!?!?! ;)
I had an ash tree do the same thing and the tree wasn't leaning. I notched the base and even before I started the back cut a huge gusts of wind caught the tree. Ash being so straight grain it split right up the center of the tree 30 feet. The bottom end that came up took out the power lines. This happened so fast there was no warning just a huge explosion of the trunk.
Wow! Yep it can happen quick
Lot of ash trees are dying or are dead.Just like you said Neil, they are a straight grain wood. From what I have heard from some guys that went through tree school, they are teaching them to throw a strap or two around the tree to help prevent barber chairing. Going to be a lot more pictures like this in the near future the way these ash trees are dying off.
Mike, if you could find a place on your tool rack for a vice it would make it easier to sharpen your saw. Without something to hold the saw we tend to rock the file especially with that Stihl two in one.
That's going to be a lot of work getting that tree out
March madness on you're turf Mike? Don't worry, you have the tools.
Back in our ‘day’ the Street Lights...were
the ‘call’ to head home, by bicycle, skateboard or roller Skates.
Hungry & Exhausted.
Contest suggestion: how many face cords of firewood will come from this oak tree?
I'm still waiting for the total from the big split. :)
@@Z-Bart And the number of pieces of wood in a cord! (unless I missed that answer)
Didn’t believe the photo at first but I do now. You should have enough wood now to run that splitter for an hour!
Maybe even two hours lol
i am sure that happened . did your fine lady get you on the first or was it onlt your daughter . great videos thank you
You're right Mike. Can't take anything for granted...I remember commenting here on PPE and somebody told me to "give it a rest". REALLY? Safety is 24/7-365. Today I was on my way to Ohio for my Uncle's funeral and I begin to make a pass at the 16 milepost (I76) on a scrap metal semi and he blows a tire. Well, that shotgun blast sends a piece of the side wall off my hood and into my windshield just above my head cracking the windshield like a spider's web. I'm going to have to ask the Good Lord what the name of the Angel is that's riding on my shoulder. Second accident in a month. Brand new JLU. Stay vigilant in everything you do!
so this is the zapruder tractor?
I don't care if that picture is real or not! Fact is, Mike is right. It very well could happen the way he described!
yep
hi mike and Melissa this is Ron Albrycht from ct, first of all Melissa you commented about chewing gum I think it is great(I get a laugh out of it is cute ) and you have a Beautiful smile, mike I have a question on your trails you had some area near the pond washed away and mud, was wondering if you ever put wood chips down that you chip from a chipper it is very good on any trail keeps the weeds and things from growing and the trail from getting muddy ,(good drainage) ALSO THE DEER WILL NOT HEAR YOU COMMING . I lost my 3 generation 100 acres in a divorce my wife was materialistic was not like your wife(Melissa) , she didn"t like doing the things you two do ,so after 34 years she served me BUT I STILL HAVE MY TRACTOR, I THINK YOU TWO ARE GREAT,(GREAT TEAM GOOD LUCK IN EVERYTHING YOU DO watch you every chance I get at night I work my tractor all the time helping friends it gives me peace digging roots drain pipe and a lot of things like you do HELPING friends is a good feeling, Oh by the way was going to ask you does plaining box work on putting down wood chips on trails was watching you do driveways with stone was thinking if it would do good on chips on trails or is it to lite or clog up By the way check out the WOODLAND MILLS CHIPPER ON LINE WC-68 CHIPPER goes on your power take off let me know what you THINK I have one GREAT
You would think the bucket would have been destroyed or ripped off of tractor.
Mike I'm sure you know to hitch your skid chain below the axle but it looks too high here.
Mike...Are we going to see the MS462 in action? I'm curious how many tanks it has on it. It's reported they really wake up after the rings get seated...say 10-15 tanks.
I'd strongly encourage your to get yourself a stump vise. It is amazing how much easier it is for non-fallers to sharpen a chain in the field if the bar is not moving around.
A friend in NY was letting a neighbor cut wood on his property. As far as I know the man is still in a coma from a barber chair. Showed me the tree and the result...hard leaner, lots of foliage also on the wrong side. Wanted me to tell him what went wrong and to finish taking the tree down. Should have bore cut it and I was not about to get myself involved in taking down a tree hanging 20' off the ground. Inexperience with a chainsaw around trees can injure, maim, and kill. I like how you preface all your chainsawing with the fact you are not a professional. Even the pros do not recommend doing what they do for two reasons. First is liability and second is every situation is different. Something may look the same but without years of experience and knowledge someone following directions won't know what to do when things aren't the same and the situation heads south in a heartbeat. There are times when we have recognize when we need to eat our pride and call n the pros!
Keep the good content flowing.
Put a piece of wire over the Spill way pipe. Expanded metal works good.
I'm sure it happened I have encountered some strange occurrences with trees and tractors I have had to bind a tree together that was split in several places with 2 chains and two binders then 2 more chains to my tractor it was pretty nerve wracking anyone with more then a wet noddlee for a brain knows how dangerous tree felling is.
