Oak is about the only tree I would have tryed that on . Leaners are the worst to climb . All the new guys in the business would bring in a crane and put a huge price on it . Good on you for saving the homeowner a few thousand bucks .
Exactly! I wouldn’t dare try this with any other species. I told The homeowner the same thing. I said it may not look “pretty” but I will get it down hahah
disgusting to me that people with perfectly good eyes can't see what's happening, and are too insecure to come out and ask a question, but instead call people with guns and badges.
@@jc5948 spoken like a boot lick.. it isn't trespassing unless it is posted, or if the owners ask you to leave.. neither happened here. I have hedges that I get trimmed. landscaper will knock on the neighbors house to alert them that he will be cleaning up what falls on their side, but if they are not home, the cleanup gets done anyhow... that's NOT trespassing.
Surprised they didn't ask for ID and throw you to the ground. I've pulled larger trees with a heavier hinge over just using a rope winch. It'll barber chair sometimes but I'm on the other end of the rope. You're right about the smaller trees, they seem to have rubber in them or something.
Know your species! Some don’t hinge like oak hahaha I wailed on this tree with the puller hahah other species wouldn’t have held up! Not sure about alder! I trust you are more familiar with it!
Man you know your stuff very cool to watch a master at work i cut a few trees down in my day never had that good of control and never knew there was so much to know about what species and the specifics youre awesome
They likely have a ring camera that would have recorded the person at the door. When nobody answered, you might have explained what was going on to the closed door, so that they'd know and not phone the police. Criminals often knock first before breaking in.
Glad they didn't tresspass you immediately, in the middle of that fall. Though I'm sure these cops would have tried to negotiate a temporary stay till you completed the task, I've seen some bad stuff.
I really don’t think this merited any more that what already happened. The neighbors called cause they say movement in backyard. PD came out saw what was going on and no big deal really
You never know what the homeowner said to dispatch. They could have said there’s someone in my backyard or they could have said someone’s trying to break in the house you never know the type of call the PD get regardless of what was actually Going on. Some people assume I was there to break in and burn the place down lol other may have seen some form of tree work going on who knows
I have had to do the same with a maple that as two and a half feet in diameter, we used a two ton come along and a log chain ! Rope stretches too bad on huge trees !
I was actually pleased that the cops did not ask or demand ID. I hope the cops took note of the name on the truck and wrote a report, just to documrnt. This cop interaction needs to be shown in cop school as an example of how it nedds to happen. Again, pleased to see good cops when the visit could have easily went south.
The truth is that there are people who don't want you in their property even if you ask so don't just assume it will be OK I wouldn't go on someone else's property even if the person who I am doing the work for says it's OK because it's you that will be going to jail not any one else and if it were my land I would be very mad at my neighbor for giving you permission to go on my land who does he think he is
@@prestonlard7687 If I were the homeowner, I would not let him fall the tree on my land or allow him on my property. It's my right as a property owner to do as I please and there are other ways and directions to fall the tree.
Should of waited until you received permission. Everyone is so entitled. Homeowners' are responsible for anyone on their property including trespassers. Bring back decency and respect.😢
He’s still same shape. Responding to squeezing and physical input but they keeping him still heavily sedated. CAT scans are showing swelling going down in head. Still way far from the finish line but small good updates so far
If you plan ahead, you can obtain permission from the neighbor before the day of the work. They called the police because you were trespassing on their property. Good job felling with the pull line and wedge! Most guys are not as patient as you were with the tree, and that often leads to unnecessary risk.
@HomesteadJay then you postpone the job until you can get permission. I knocked on the door and nobody answered so I granted permission myself doesn't work.
@@HomesteadJay I thought the smiley face would show I was joking about it being staged. You being a working man (I'm retired), you probably don't have much time to watch RUclips videos of cops demanding ID from everyone they talk with. Getting ID from someone is like an addict trying to get his next fix for so many of them. You did do a great job felling that tree. I practice that a lot on my property. Right now, I have had a lot trees die this past year that have to come down now. I do have one oak that is very old but looks like half the arch in St. Louis.
Fibers. Certain trees will behave differently. Some wood will hinge better than others. Oak is very good hinge wood. This tree was an oak so it has very dense fibers. Something like poplar or ash for example have not so dense fibers and don’t hinge well
@HomesteadJay I know that I did not say you were or they were not awsome I'm just saying instead instead of doing the grownup adult thing and answering the door they have to be snitches I hate snitches/pigcop snitches. !
Very impressive response time from your PD... Here in the UK they would have arrived 3 days later!
Yeah your kinda alone out there in the UK when it comes to that
Most US Popo have a longer response time, especially if the situation is potentially deadly, then It's like 45 minutes to an hour & a half.
Two guys doing one of the most dangerous jobs there is, interrupted by a couple cops.
Yeah who knows what the homeowner called in

What makes trees lean over in the first place? Just interested.
@@andrewstratford4753 Sun, wind, genetics, minor damage as a sapling, another long gone sapling when the leaner was developing, a snow drift...
disgusting to me that people with perfectly good eyes can't see what's happening, and are too insecure to come out and ask a question, but instead call people with guns and badges.
Interesting isn’t it. Clearly walking around in tree chaps and helmets isn’t convincing enough
Police said they were not at home at the time. Hard to see what is actually going on with security cameras sometimes.
TRESPASSING IS STILL TRESPASSING....AIN'T IT

Trespassing is a crime right? I dont see any criminals.

Smaller trees are wild to try to pull over indeed!
Nice job! You gave me some ideas for a couple of Alder leaners! Thank you bro! 🌲☮✌🏻
Know your species! Some don’t hinge like oak hahaha I wailed on this tree with the puller hahah other species wouldn’t have held up! Not sure about alder! I trust you are more familiar with it!
Anywhere but on a house. Good job.
That was the idea. Opposite the lean is the best case for leaners
People are getting very touchy about property lines these days.
Very
People have always been touchy about property lines. That is why we have the old statement that good fences make great neighbors.
Oh lawrd what you done did now. Lol😂
🤣🤣🤣
The caller lied 🤬
Man you know your stuff very cool to watch a master at work i cut a few trees down in my day never had that good of control and never knew there was so much to know about what species and the specifics youre awesome
Yes there is a lot that goes into it! Need to be somewhat familiar with how each wood behaves
Nice work!!!

Thanks armchair QB
Good job!
They intentionally didnt answer the door so they could call the cops, while the whole time they knew what you were doing
Great job and done safely

They were calm, I was calm, clearly you can see what was going on. My truck was in the other driveway so yeah nothing malicious going on
They may be able to see but cant think ?
Who knows
and they didn't demand ID
They came back later to fill out a dispatch log call sheet. Nothing official. I wasn’t cited for anything or whatever
😂😂😂 true.
those cops holding gloves.. they were ready to go hands on and the other guy with hand on gun
Yeah we were anything close to that level of excitement dontcha worry!
Don't set up on someone elses property without written permission. Period.
Yes normally I ask prior to starting but no one was home and this tree was a “add on”
The truth is that there are people who don't want you in their property even if you ask so don't just assume it will be OK I wouldn't go on someone else's property even if the person who I am doing the work for says it's OK because it's you that will be going to jail not any one else and if it were my land I would be very mad at my neighbor for giving you permission to go on my land who does he think he is

Should of waited until you received permission. Everyone is so entitled. Homeowners' are responsible for anyone on their property including trespassers. Bring back decency and respect.😢
Invest in a 2 to 1 or 5 to 1 pulley system and self locking rope grab. Come alongs suck, but great job 👏
This is a continuous come along meaning it will pull
Rope continuously which is nice. It’s designed for tree work lol
But thank you! Deff need a pulley instead of a carabiner for redirect
@@HomesteadJay Similar to a Tractel cable "Grip Hoist"?
At least the Police were decent to you guys!

You are absolutely correct. Most law enforcement are good people and if your nice their nice
Exactly. I wasn’t doing anything illegal haha just needed an anchor point farther out haha which happened to be in their yard hahah
?????????
People who call and waste LEOs time like this are sofa king wee todd it!
Walking in the kill zone. Stay out of the V
👀❤️👮🚔👮🚔
That’s funny l
Haha hope all is well brother. How’s old faithful running?
Best to leave a message if you have to be on someone else's property. You get shot theses days.
Yes people are wild now a days
That echo saw is absolutely adorable. Did you get it from a box of cereal...😂😂😂
Would you like me to bring out my 395xp? This tree is 6” in diameter haha I don’t need a monster saw for it. Thanks though 😎
How many terrorist have been caught with if you see something tell someone?but how many PEOPLE BEEN MURDERED BY POLICE? MIND YOUR OWN BESNESS LADY
tooken?
Say what?
@@HomesteadJay said tooken- no such word
Grab a tool and earn your pay Bozo's!
Thanks for tuning in!
You don't tell the neighbors that you will be in their yard, you ask for permission to be there.
Should have obtained neighbor's permission to use his tree and property rather than just assuming it was ok to do so.
Yes normally
I do but needed to hook to a bigger tree and no one was home
@HomesteadJay then you postpone the job until you can get permission. I knocked on the door and nobody answered so I granted permission myself doesn't work.
None your business!

Definitely staged. You know this because the cops didn't insist on his ID. 🤣
Good job on felling that tree.
I assure you it was not staged
And they came back after they left to close out a incident report
@@HomesteadJay I thought the smiley face would indicate I was making a joke. We know how most cops like ID, they are like an addict needing a fix.

No issues here.
Lol your acting like this was a giant tree you are really over doing it for the customer you could tell he was not impressed at all
How? It needed to be pulled off the house. Doesn’t matter the size. Almost 45 degree lean over the fence. Needed a lot of pull
wow the police shoed up do you have insurance permit
We weren’t doing wrong haha just neighbors saw activity on their cameras and called it in lol yes I am insured and have appropriate licenses
Please forgive my ignorance. How and why does the species matter when felling a tree.
