Im glad to see that u didnt just work while u were here in Florida but u also had some fun. Hope u had a good time while u guys were here. Florida definetly has alot of some weird trees and plants.
Waiting on the sennebogen content. I did 11 jobs this week, mix of residential, commercial, town work, and land clearing. Nothing can compare in versatility. Won’t replace a crane or a feller buncher but incredible what it can do
Looks like you guys are having fun, just watch out for Ficus sap, it is caustic (burns). Good rule of thumb for trees and plants, if it has white sap, treat with caution. Climb safe fellas :D
Deff inspired me to get south n see what the hypes all about, I landed in Venice and I'll probably never leave. These trees are out of this world, Good looking out always ahead of the curve brother!
Ficus tree probably began sitting on a branch of the host tree; those are its aerial roots, not the trunk. The original host may have rotted away already.
Knuckle booms look cool as hell to operate and are fast. The downside to them are you have to in the appropriate regions to be able to bill for that equipment. Here in northeast Wisconsin people would not pay that amount for a tree removal.
24:16 Ahh I thought the Allison Tree name was familiar, I have a picture of the truck parked like they owned the parking lot at a Dick’s sporting goods in Ft Lauderdale 🤣
Left to right on the control is from the turret ( roundtable ) out on almost every knuckle boom I’ve ever seen/operated. Not sure if that is an industry standard or not but once you have used one you can get used to other ones pretty quick!
i find full comp chain is alot smoother in hardwoods but i havnt really exsperimented with skip much but anytime i did it seemed be pretty rough in hardwoods
I take it that fireplaces, and patio firepits aren't a thing there, because that's some excellent firewood getting pulverized into plant fodder. A year from now if the oak would have been split and stacked in a woodshed to season, that'd bring some serious money I guess everywhere but southern Florida, are Florida in general. Most of your oaks go for top dollar if split and seasoned. Shame to see it just going to waste like that, even if it is turned into mulch, it's still a waste in my lowly opinion.
This is where a little botanical knowledge should be mixed with arbouristic tendencies! The sap of Ficus pertusa ( Strangler fig) won't do your eyes much good and I wouldn't be too keen on breathing in the spray off the chainsaw. On the business side of things - looking at the brand new kit on every job and the amount of bodies standing around - tree work in the U.S.A. must pay much better than here in the U.K. and you probably aren't pestered by thieves stealing stuff from your trucks while you're up a tree.
Ficus is not good firewood, neither is it suitable construction. They are just highly evolved species of trees able to germinate way up in the tops of other trees, and send roots down to the ground slowly. Upon the roots reaching the ground the ficus begins to grow, eventually encompassing and "strangling" the host tree. Ficus are absolutely majestic trees, around 850 different varieties and some reach phenomenal sizes. Most readily self graft and others produce massive curtains of aerial roots. Check out the Curtain Fig or any of the other giants. :)
If you didnt go pro it, film it, phone camera from different angles it by different people. Did it even happen! lol I'm joking but wow theres alot of filming on one job site.
You were to supposed to have a bunch of those thong wearing boat ‘furniture’ rental girls for the ocean blast…..all the speedboat owners rent them for show.
Guilty of Treeson is basically my favorite TV show.
Jacob literally went from knowing what a knuckle boom tree application from reonrounds to having the ability to control one!
Mitch is a master at what he does! I like watching him work!

I took the wife and kids to Florida with me :)
That's what you call living the dream right there

Loved this series! You should do more Travels with Randy.

Love your neat beard - it looks great!
Mitch is such a nice guy! ❤
I do tree work in northeast FL 5+ yrs and haven't came across a (ficus?) I NEED TO TRAVEL SOUTH!! those are neat looking trees!
I bet Randy wanted to stay. Thanks for another great video.

jacob you are having too much fun
Jacob, you need to buy a Knuckle Boom Crane for you and Randy to start your own business!
I do like shiny equipment 😎 really cool to see how much different types of machinery you can use for a job! Keep it up, buddy!

Walking around on a roof while looking up is a disaster waiting to happen
Cool stuff
I vote you keep bringing 8 pack with you on these adventures 🫡
Guessing tight pants are a direct replacement for hardhats?
This may be nice in urban settings . It never replaces the climber, pruner and faller. I hope!
Mate got one not long ago. Worked with it one day only. But good. Thanx
And habe fun with the air potato.
i find full comp chain is alot smoother in hardwoods but i havnt really exsperimented with skip much but anytime i did it seemed be pretty rough in hardwoods

Our Koalas definitely aren’t nimble 🇦🇺How many peacocks 🦚 died to make those shirts 😂
You can't have a fishing outtro without a fishing report!
Godfreys tree service in nw ga wants you to come out and work for a week or two
Seems like the saw might not be calibrated correctly, since it does not seem to cut completely through the limbs?
Man good thing that saw didn't start when passing it to randy off the roof like a seen everyone else doing lol
Not relevant to the video, or your channel but what is going on with John's custom saws? Just wondered if there was something wrong.
that out of the ground potato looked liked a yam
Or a sweet potato.
Nice work boys, play safe,Koala Bob
Any recommendations where to get double beveled flat files online? I can’t find them on sappy supply’s
Looks like a bunch of veins interwoven together
It's the same kind of ficus tree people buy for house plants...
Can’t believe Randy didn’t grab the controls when you were hoisted into the tree. 😅
too bad I didn't get to meet you.😔
What country is the grapple truck operator from? Sweet video
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Where is randys shirt from?? Tried hunting google but no luck

I can’t find the vid of it but what’s your American color scheme saw?
Pretty sure its a 261
What kind of pants do you wear
Be careful with the bromeliads. And tell Mitch great job
I would like to start to climb could you please tell me everything I will need to start to climb please?
First, get a good life insurance policy
I womder how that Fikus burns? I suspect that sap burns fast.
The saw motor in the claw seems a very powerful electric.
Does it do the hydralics too?
That's more than likely a hydraulic saw

First
Nice again Jacob. Tell Mitch that I said that his phone recording lady needs to stop standing so close to the equipment when it's operating.
