In Australia we would regard you as an effective branch manager who never gets stumped cos you never get stumped you get to the root of the problem and seem to regard any task as a simple push over !
Just found your video's recently and like a lot of others got to give you credit for figuring out how to tackle a lot of problems by yourself . remind me a lot of myself in my youth. My expression was "if one man designed or built it, I can render it to any condition I want" Subconciously you must have heard me!. you seem to do it at will. And you seem to do it with some degree of safty in mind. not just hazardously . thanks for sharing!
If your back cut is horizontal, the cut is the shortest possible cross section of the tree. By sloping it, the area being cut is increased. Terry Hale has a great channel with thoughtful and detailed videos on the physics involved with tree cutting.
good video gave me some ideas on ways to bring down some big trees on my property line next year i plan to get a tractor in the spring now just trying to decide which tractor to get on my budget
Those techniques are not OSHA approved folks. It's just a matter of time before something bad happens. But he is a good problem solver, I'll give him that.
@@AndrewCamarata I'm sure you are a great prognosticator Andrew...great at everything else. I hope next time when something bad happens, you are in fact alive to do it differently the next time. I do love your videos Mr Camarata, the element of danger honestly, makes them more riveting and exciting. I just want you around to continue making such great videos, good luck to you sir!
Tough to believe you don't like the blue tractor. Had a Ford 4610 and Case 580L at a place I worked. Used the Case for most tree work. Road maintenance with the Ford w/ 5' box blade and 9' blade. Both worked great. Chained up 4610 was great pushing snow off roads. For me tractor work is FUN.
Is there a reason you don't wear cutting chaps to prevent leg injuries? Just wondering if you find them too restrictive or something. Seems like a chainsaw accident could shut you down for a while
With a couple of more pulleys you can multiply the forces on the tree while decreasing the force on the tractor with multiple additional anchors (trees).
every pulley slows your pull too, and the speed the tree moves can be a factor when felling, and who even knows if there is enough wire rope to triple the length and not sacrifice your safe distance, so the tree avoids landing on the tractor...
Hey Andrew, great job. You're a great problem solver. Keep on doing good job. And seems to me that you go able and beyond when you jobs. You should make the home owner s orange paint or orange flags trees to be cut, and so we will know too?? God bless you, man thanks for sharing..
Love what you doing especially when you push trees down in particular in my opinion you don’t have to play the background music it would do very well without that!
Andrew, I know you know what your doing but I hate seeing you work a machine that you have in gear with no one on it. We all like you too much to see anything happen to you.
Some modern tractors come equipped with a feature to operate the vehicle while standing behind it to assist in the task of hooking on 3-pt hitch attachments. Yep, stand behind, probably between the implement and the tractor, and intentionally cause the tractor to move in the name of "convenience." Better yet, a Massey-Ferguson 1754 has a button on the rear fender to activate the PTO (that spinning thing at the rear where the farmer's arm gets ripped off) without the farmer being in the seat, presumable for convenience, not just to pull a horrifying prank.
Very nice work. A lot of people don't know how to cut down a tree right, and end up flattening their houses and cars or worse. What did you do with the wood?
TractorData#com Ford shows a 22 hp Shibaura 1.3L 3-cyl diesel engine for the 1520 tractor. I can't believe what you can do with your tractor. Does it have a more powerful engine?
Probably not easy on my machine but I’m pulling trees this size with a zero turn mower. Kubota Z Can’t knock them down though. I really wish they made the zero turn more useful At least a plow for snow All it can do is tow and cut grass. Push the odd thing out of the way. Etc.
Hi...I do the same at a camp...but I leave a little higher stump so it hits the guard. I did it once with a low stump & got the tractor hung up..took 2 hours to get it off.
Does that tractor not have a safety shutoff switch when you leave the seat while it's in gear, or is it disabled? Being able to have the tractor push while you're cutting is one advantage of a manual transmission tractor over a hydrostatic, even if it is a bit unsafe if you're not vigilant.
I must be getting old. When I was younger I would do the same thing and jump back on. Now that I'm older I'm thinking OMG! Still now I can see how you smashed the grill on the tractor. If the tree splits that could take out your front end. I would have kept my Ford 1600 with nine speed transmission if it had FWD. They didn't have that option till 3 years latter when they came out with the different sizes of the Japanese Fords.
Here is everything needed to do that setup. Winch: amzn.to/2TdCsZv Jumper cables: amzn.to/2zb4NXE winch plate: amzn.to/2DGUwqk Tractor hitch: amzn.to/2DHhXzA
Yep, anybody’s guess on how much force the winch or excavator was putting on the trunks as he was cutting. If too much force, too soon, and the hinge is still too thick for hinge fibers to bend, the partially cut trunk will split open vertically instead. (I.e. research: “barberchair”)
How come you're not worried about walking that tractor over pulling those trees like that - you got jammed up several times. Maybe it's because those turf tires will spin first? With Ag tires for sure I would think you could walk the tractor right over. I always pull in reverse so if the load jams it's not possible to walk the tractor over on top of yourself.
I love it, unfortunately I cant use a chainsaw but 10-15 min in a day, unless a super light home owner one, & even then ill be hurting with 2 tanks of gas through it, I can do about 2-3 batteries on my electric Dewalt saw, my left arm will draw up close to my body, and I can barely move it with right arm, and will be severe pain for 2-3 days. I once did a lot of cutting from teenager until mid 30's when that started happening, I cut & sold firewood.
I sure wish I would have married a man like you Hands-On I love it figures it out on your own I love it you got a baby you are the man and I really mean you are the man be safe God bless
Dorian Payne that tractor is very good, if your looking for a tractor buy a Ford, New Holland, Yanmar, Kubota. Don't buy a John Deere or any of those cheap ones.
Bout what I expected 😂 not exactly rocket science. With the winch, tow strap tree hugger saver, some chain, and even just your car and a chainsaw or any chopping device. U can cut damn near anything in any direction
"Yeah, honey, let's move into the forest and cut down all the trees." You have a job to do, and you do it well, but I can't help but question the judgement of some people.
Did you see the the baby killed by a tree in north Carolina. We love the trees but we keep a safe distance from are dwellings . Same as bears or any other thing. Would you have everybody live in a city?
This Sucks! It's not the videos problem but in the first 2:27 minutes it kept buffering so bad that I couldn't get a complete run. Pool, what pool, house, what house, winch... The tree was up, then down (in both views). I'll try to watch some more but I doubt it will be any better. :-( I heard but didn't see any of the trees fall down.
Trees die and/or get blown down all the time. It's not like the timber companies who clearcut and then spray herbicides on millions of acres to keep anything from growing that might compete with the species of trees they plant...which are hybrids that don't reproduce.
In Australia we would regard you as an effective branch manager who never gets stumped cos you never get stumped you get to the root of the problem and seem to regard any task as a simple push over !
I love your humor.
All that while barking out orders to cutdown the tasks! 🤠
I like your ability to work things out on your own...
So many uses for a small little tractor with a loader. I use my Kubota for all kinds of things people normally dont associate a tractor with.
very true -- a loader is an implement that once you have one, you begin to think differently about how you might use it, and it attracts work.
As usual you use your commonsense and practical experience to get the job done right.. Good work mate 😊

There is a long trailer repair video uploading now.

Great job, looks like it landed right where you planned. Thanks for sharing
I had a 1989 Ford 1520, man I loved that machine. Did everything I ever asked it to do. Great videos Andrew, I really enjoy these.
Loving that Ford. Great work. Great vid! Deserves far more views.
I had all kinds of stuff to do today . So i decided to help Andrew and i just watched and called the shots.
Really Great job Andrew. You can tell this was a difficulty job from the get go.
He thrives on those difficult jobs.
I keep drooling over those trees as fuel for my outside wood boiler!
Ah, love the music choices... You have many talents, Sir.
good video gave me some ideas on ways to bring down some big trees on my property line next year i plan to get a tractor in the spring now just trying to decide which tractor to get on my budget
You always have a solution no matter what. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
Watch out for the bark on those trees remaining as you drag the downed trees by. Ouch!
One of those was cut down later so it didn't matter.
Andrew Camarata has just winched a tree, controlling those falling trees with a winch and a Ford 1520 tractor.
Those techniques are not OSHA approved folks. It's just a matter of time before something bad happens. But he is a good problem solver, I'll give him that.
Said H I can literally see what’s going to happen before it happens, when something bad happens I just do it differently.

Running a machine, a chainsaw, and a drone.....all at once
Nicely done. That place is much better without those trees near the house.

IDK. I did actually just get a set though. I might start using them.
you're little blue Ford tractor has made you some good money over the years, Andrew.
Jeezus, Andrew is a one man wrecking machine!!!😂
Nothing stops him,"adapt,improvise and overcome!"...🖒💪

Interesting. I like these videos.
Those trees ought to have known better than to mess with you Andrew. You the man!
Was there a follow up? You kind of left us hanging thinking that there would be more. Good video. Imagine they had you remove the stumps also.
Hey Andrew, great job. You're a great problem solver. Keep on doing good job. And seems to me that you go able and beyond when you jobs. You should make the home owner s orange paint or orange flags trees to be cut, and so we will know too?? God bless you, man thanks for sharing..
never seen anybody let the equipment drive themselves risky business but Andrew seems to have the routine perfected! Cheers Jimmywaynelake channel
Besides, if something did go wrong, think of the views that video would get ;o)
@@gatekeeper65 and you know it is being uploaded by the survivors...
AWESOME JOB
I keep thinking I've watched them all, then these older ones will pop up on my recommended screen. Not that I'm complaining mind!

Skills pay's the bill's
Others: This is a two person job
Andrew: Watch this...
Then how is the cable staying tight when the tree first starts to fall?
@@CobyRupert wireless winch remote?
Nice job with controlling the direction the tree fell.
Good work Andrew you look like a pro,......
Cool video Andrew. Out of curiosity did you take inspiration for this video from August Hunicke?
I appreciate your updates
Very nice work. A lot of people don't know how to cut down a tree right, and end up flattening their houses and cars or worse. What did you do with the wood?
Robert Coates it's piled there. Fire wood, I want to sell it.

Who's operating the drone ❓
WOW😍 What a beautiful stop that home is at👍✌️✝️😀
Is this how you bent your power steering actuator? I saw how you hit the stump.
Hi...I do the same at a camp...but I leave a little higher stump so it hits the guard. I did it once with a low stump & got the tractor hung up..took 2 hours to get it off.

No safety switch, it doesn't look like it ever had one, Its HST.
Pluto Thor ...my new holland workmaster had that. Disabled it...too much of a pain every time I stopped to pick a branch off the ground.

Hey Andrew, I do have a question about what kind of chainsaw that you use. What's the size of it too? Hit me back soon .
Thanks for sharing, man.
Pretty sure it’s a Stihl 036.
How big of a winch? Anymore pix of how you attached it to the draw bar?

good job thanks 4 video. be kind.
If you put to much stress on a tree that is being cut the tree can split and kick back which might be bad for your health.
Did you see an example of that? Looked to me like he was cautious
Yep, anybody’s guess on how much force the winch or excavator was putting on the trunks as he was cutting. If too much force, too soon, and the hinge is still too thick for hinge fibers to bend, the partially cut trunk will split open vertically instead. (I.e. research: “barberchair”)

For cutting down trees? How did you guys let rules like that happen? Do you not have guns or something?
Hahaha!!
Zbigniew ‘Merica,
it sounds like a miserable place to live. ever consider revolting, or just moving to another continent?

4:35 This clip should have a disclaimer on it "DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU ARE NOT ANDREW CAMARATA"
Only downside is the Stihl rather than a Husky!
Home owner's A/C bill just doubled.
Would've like to hear the tractor over that other noise.
I like the ghost tractor tree cutting
Sick Dubstep...
That is about as good as it gets.
Nice job
Andrew your nuts... I had a friend killed by a tractor while working alone.
If he was alone how do we know he wasn't killed by, say, space aliens.
sorry for your loss
how do you like a Ford tractor?
Dorian Payne that tractor is very good, if your looking for a tractor buy a Ford, New Holland, Yanmar, Kubota. Don't buy a John Deere or any of those cheap ones.
Andrew Camarata Thanks buddy, we are looking at buying a tractor. What maker do you prefer? The ford?
Andrew Camarata you're doing exactly the main thing we'd be doing with it by dragging and moving trees. and other basic homestead functions.
Dorian Payne ford, Kubota, new Holland are good. Stay away from garbage like John Deere/cheap stuff.
Andrew Camarata ok. was looking at yanmars and Kubota. will look at ford's too. heard ford was easy to work on also
Andrew need more videos please

why cut down the trees go move to where are no trees
Tell that to large housing developers.
Absolutely. Pack up his house and swimming pool and move to Arizona. Makes perfect sense
