You wasn't joking when you said she was big. Lord have mercy. Always enjoy watching your videos Chris. God Bless you and yours brother. Keep up the amazing work.
DUDEZILLA! The end of the video when you take out the other stump is what makes you stand out! It's the stuff like this that makes customers ALWAYS recommend you to others!!!!! The little things add up!!!!
Logs that big allows you to cut table top sized slabs 2 or 3 inches thick that are worth hundreds of dollars each, maybe even more if the grain patterns are amazing. You need a big ass sawmill though, lol. Anyway, was wondering if you'd rip out that other stump when I first seen it. And you did. You're a nice guy Chris.
Man that's a nice looking KW.We had a huge white oak that luckily got cut down before it could fall on the house.You can pretty much guarantee one thing depends how a tree falls on a house even after repairs it will never be same because of the impact to the foundation.
I hope Zach brought extra chains,saws,balls,and whatever it will take.i like the way you take on these small jobs with your cohorts.impressive as always😎😎👍👍
"I'll be nice and take this other stump out also while I'm here for the customer". Now how many times has anybody heard a contractor speak those words. Only Chris. That's what separates Chris, from the rest. Nice work as always brother👍👊💪
I love your channel. I retired 35 years a license general contractor. I loved doing this stuff. Great job. I bet you make slot of money. My problem was hiring good workers.
This looks like so much fun. I am watching this dreaming of driving tractors instead of working an IT job. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!
I remember a big cottonwood stump. The tree had been felled, with 3 ft. remaining. The customer wanted it cut as close to the ground as possible. My 36" inch bar reached the middle with maybe a 1/2 " to spare. I worked my way around the stump and met up exactly with my starting cut. The stump fell straight down and pinched the bar, with no remaining uncut wood. I was pretty experienced, but nobody is that good.
Zach’s saw got the job done and that’s all that matters, too many people got all the gear but no idea, as Chris shows with him having to put other people’s mistakes right.
How lucky was it that it fell in that direction. I had nearly all of the large trees in my yard taken down when lightning hit one in the front of my house and dropped a massive branch in the middle of the road in a storm. It took eight of us to clear it all, in the storm, thankfully my neighbors chainsaw was was much better, and sharper, than mine.
When Tirek destroyed the Ponyville library tree they dug up the root ball and hung it from Twilights castle ceiling. A task which looks even more impressive seeing the Volvo struggle :o)
Cotontop3 will see this video at some point and think about that Husqvarna 572 of his cutting that massive oak down to size. Nice job taking care of it, guys.
I have a firm belief once you get all the quirks out of the Orange Hitachi someone will be highly interested in buying it from you with a little more cash in hand. I see a trend, another Volvo will fall into the market and you are going to grab it, just you wait. It's good to see someone who takes initiative and rebuilds something that still has worth.
Damn !!! Judging by the water that filled the hole u dug for stump I'd guess that wet area was why it grew in leaps and bounds and probably also contributed to more surface roots rather than deeper tap roots to keep it locked in. U think ?
There aren't many noncommercial bandsaws that can handle that load. Bet that log in the pile would have some great figure in it. Where is Matt Cremona when you need him!
Most mills don’t want tree that came from residential areas . To much risk of sawing into steel . And in the mill I work in we couldn’t get it in the mill it’s so big .
I would have loved to see some slabs cut from that monster. The grain..pattern. I imagine they would have been stunning. And each slab could bring in that $$$....
Should've brought that 6' oak log to Matt Cremona.
His home made bandsaw mill would've cut some great slabs worth a lot of cash.
Created nice looking yard there. Nice looking job 👍☕️🍀
You wasn't joking when you said she was big. Lord have mercy. Always enjoy watching your videos Chris. God Bless you and yours brother. Keep up the amazing work.
That brush pile is going to be home to all kinds of critters!
DUDEZILLA! The end of the video when you take out the other stump is what makes you stand out! It's the stuff like this that makes customers ALWAYS recommend you to others!!!!! The little things add up!!!!
A lot of people do not realize it, but just running an excavator, dozier, bob cat, etc., can wear you out too! To them looks easy!
The log you pushed back into the woods would make some real interesting table tops too.

The slabs that trunk will make..... some lucky sawmill is going to have one heck of a satisfying day.
"I'll be nice and take this other stump out also while I'm here for the customer".
Now how many times has anybody heard a contractor speak those words.
Only Chris.
That's what separates Chris, from the rest.
Nice work as always brother👍👊💪
That's the truth. Only Chris would do that. He's a good person and a wonderful friend. Good job guys.
What part of the country is this?
Chris is in North Carolina
Perfect job for stress relief. Looks fun
Now that is a tree! Wowza Jack is going to be excited
That’s a beautiful Kenworth
I love your channel. I retired 35 years a license general contractor. I loved doing this stuff. Great job. I bet you make slot of money. My problem was hiring good workers.
Excellent job, nice clean up.
If it wasn't oak, some wood turners club would have liked the stump. Makes for nice grain in your pieces. Oak's a bit tough for most turners, though.
A winter of firewood, a house full of heirloom oak furniture, and maybe enough profit from slabs to pay for the clean up?
DIY wood crafters would love to get ahold of a 72" slice of wood. Make nice coffee tables, couch tables etc.
That's why Zack was over helping you grind up the logs/brush on your fence line, he needed some help with that tree.
it'd be funny as hell if you went back in a few years and found that the big stump had started to grow sucker saplings off it.
That 6BG1 turbo intercooled Isuzu is one sweet engine. I have worked on a lot of them.
Great job. Would love to see you go back in 6 months for a re-cap
Chris, Zach, You are a very good team together as well as with Charlie, good to have such friends. That's GOLD
Looked like after that stump gave you such a fit, you took out some frustration on those tree limbs. Haha.
This looks like so much fun. I am watching this dreaming of driving tractors instead of working an IT job. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!
Summer. Winter OUTSIDE weather dictates work.
first time I've EVER seen someone ACTUALLY know how to run a chainsaw !!!!!! EXCELLENT JOB ON BUCKING TREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wedges?
@@northmanlogging2769 nope
Nice job done there Chris, have a Happy Independence day America, Tom from England.

I wish I lived close to this place, I would love to have some of the medium branches for projects, cut them into slabs and boards and make stuff.
Darn that owner was lucky it fell the way it did. It would have turned his house to kindle.
At least his kids would have tree house then 😁
@@roadrash90 ĺĺlllll
2p000ppp
Sure glad I'm not the only one impressed with the Kenworth that got the excavator to the job. 👍
that looked like a gorgeous black walnut tree!!!!
The 4th of July Holiday just got a Whole LOT Better with Chris and the Big Volvo Machine. 👍👍👍
Lots of good wood for the saw mill or for the fireplace on a cold day.
Zach’s saw got the job done and that’s all that matters, too many people got all the gear but no idea, as Chris shows with him having to put other people’s mistakes right.
I have been seeing the work that you do and all of the work you do is outstanding, keep up the great work.
Excellent job and video.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

That was interesting! What a load of oak lumber that will make,..I hope.

That was a big tree. Great video today Chris 👍. Keep on making videos.
I see you still got that old boy with that beautiful kw hauling your equipment for you. Thats awesome
I think you made the Hitachi mad when you bought the Volvo.
Naw. Leave the two of them alone for an hour and you'll get a litter of Kubotas in the spring.
Damn !!! Judging by the water that filled the hole u dug for stump I'd guess that wet area was why it grew in leaps and bounds and probably also contributed to more surface roots rather than deeper tap roots to keep it locked in. U think ?
Wow, there goes a couple winters worth of firewood lol
That tree is worth a lot. That is one big tree. Six foot just wow.😳
Someone making those "rustic" tabletops would pay good money for that lump stuck in the woods - put it on Ebay: "collect from roadside..."
There aren't many noncommercial bandsaws that can handle that load. Bet that log in the pile would have some great figure in it. Where is Matt Cremona when you need him!
@@humbleheart7196 In NY!
👍 another great job done!
God bless
Stay safe
The part with all of the branches that you put in the woods would have made some good looking slabs if there was anybody doing that in the area.
I wondered why that didn't get taken somewhere.
Those parts were split by crash of the tree.
I can’t believe all that oak wasn’t used as firewood by someone, oak is the very best.
Big log good job helping your buddy!
I was hoping you were going to save more of that wood for lumber it sure will make for some good lumber for a house maybe
Nice wildlife home for critters
Nice work, Chris. Happy 4th buddy
If something gives you a “Fit”, Dig a Larger Hole and put the Person or Item in the Hole. 😬 👍
S S S
The weights of logs he's cut are interesting - would be a good contest.
Very enjoyable Chris , thanks .
I can’t count the amount of times I’ve needed you on my cleanup sites 😳🥺👍🏻🤣
According to a tree age calculator I have, that tree was +/- 320 years old if it was a white oak and about 280 years old if it was a red oak.
That stump would've been a cool table
that oak stump is worth a lot of money to someone making wood turnings like bowls.
bowls? Damn man thats a big bowl! My ex wife needs a bowl that size but nobody else needs one i wouldnt imagine
It would take the worlds biggest lathe to turn it! You could use hand tools and lancelot tools and turn it into a bathtub!
He needed one of Buckin Billy Rays old ported McCulloch power saws with a 4' blade!
Grew fast with all that ground water.
Person that cleared my SILs house lot made the driveway where they buried the stumps and branches. 20 years later and she has to park in the yard.
I just knew kubota vs pumpkin pie was coming. I know you didn’t like loosing Chris hahaha😃
A oak like that size fell in my property spanning over a creek 20 years ago and it is still there and still massive
Wowww One Huge Tree To Clean Up HITACHI baeutefull Like my friend 👍 💯✔️
I am always surprised by how soft a touch you have when picking up items.
Was expecting a nice bon fire knowing how much you like to burn. :) Nice job.
Awesome Job!!
Hope you and your family are having a blessed 4th of July weekend
if you keep both machines you could have them on 2 different jobs at the same time
dam can you imagine the oak boards out of that. what a tree.
That beautifully maintained '68 Kenworth. The video you did on it a month ago. Hard to believe it's got 7,000,000 miles on it.
Look at the beautiful wood
Nice job Chris 👍
this is fun! the sound of the excavator is soothing in a way.
Might better check under your Hitachi for hemorrhoids after all that heavy lifting. Lol
Good job Chris. Happy 4th!
Hope you had a safe and productive fourth.
So we learned you can put a round peg in a square hole!
Then make it disappear as if it was never there 😂😂
You handle your excavator like a surgeon with a scalpel. You are the best. Love your videos. Dr. Excavator. Let's dig.
I really do not think it will grow another tree🤣! But it looks like you've planted it correctly who knows miracles do happen.
Sure will make some nice lumber !
Yea definitely would have slabbed that trunk up would make for some nice table tops
Lessee,... plywood for the repairable grass,.. but none to protect the public road? Good call.
when you see Zack standing on the tree cutting the stump you realize how big the tree is
Biggest oak tree I've ever seen. Some would say what a bunch of firewood
Zack looks like a little kid on that tree, that thing is humongous CHRIS!
I bet there are some local wood turners who would love some of that oak?
Man look at that ground water. That house would have some good footings under it.
Enjoyed watching the video Chris 😊
There is enough board feet in that tree to build a house. I can't believe a local mill wouldn't want it.
I would hope a mill would want that. You could get some beautiful slabs out of that. Full sized table slabs.
Most mills don’t want tree that came from residential areas . To much risk of sawing into steel . And in the mill I work in we couldn’t get it in the mill it’s so big .
😀👍👍🍁
lot of the mills have saws for the average tree size to mass cut the forested timber, that log probably would require a special mill.
Now that's one Big Oak
I would have loved to see some slabs cut from that monster. The grain..pattern. I imagine they would have been stunning. And each slab could bring in that $$$....
Nice looking truck
..GOOD ONE, NICE JOB,...KEEP SAFE...
