The video doesn't give the full perspective of the size of this cotton wood. Biggest I've flopped in a couple years, about 5ft across the stump. Had to cut from both sides with a 32" bar on my ported Stihl 500i. I call this saw "Chippy" because it was lost and found buried in a chip pile for months when I snagged it. Crank case was full of water, it was ran over with chip truck several times, and completely trashed before I salvaged it. Now, it's a stone cold ripper!

Jack just crushed his FIRST climbed out removal start to finish—a tricky black cherry squeezed between fences and buildings. Nice work buddy!

75ft up, no ground crew, inches to spare. Spruce down safe, house & deck untouched. 🌲🪓🪢🏡✅

I don’t always get electrocuted… but when I do, it’s usually because a lineman thought “good enough” was close enough when taping connectors. And yes — I did on this one. ⚡️🌳

Another lake view! A nice place to work.

When your “workbench” is 70 feet up and the penalty for making a mistake is a city-wide blackout with a hefty fine. ⚡️🌳

Tried to make life easier for the ground crew by dropping this piece right into the trailer. Misjudged the rotation just a hair… and it dove in headfirst like a missile. 🎯🌲Luckily, I own the trailer lol

Oak trees aren’t supposed to unzip themselves from top to bottom… but this one did. ⚡️🌳

This was a tricky job. Should have had a crane here but there was no room for access. Luckily lots of trees here to rig from!

I like the views at the lake jobs!
