Pulling Trees AGAINST their LEANS

step by step ...

[rayclark]

My mother is one of those little old ladies that you mentioned...running around working on the farm...she's coming up on 94 & still using her electric chain saw to help clean up fallen stuff:) She's watched quite a few of your videos with me & says that she's learned a lot from watching them.

I’m an electrician, I became drawn to trees after stumbling upon on of your vids. I’m now pursuing a career change into a occupation I actually enjoy. So thanks for that

[SkyStayHigh]

Most experienced educator, you explain so well

[joethehammervalentine]

Started my own tree service last year. Your channel has been incredibly helpful, and I thank you.

[DarkVegetaman]

Always love the videos. I work at a computer all day, but between you and BBR, I worked up the courage to cut down two trees (not big, maybe 16" DBH) and dropped them right where I wanted them. Love the channel.

Good video. I agree with you that you don’t have to over pull. I give up on having the wife helping to pull a tree so I rig the rope pretension make the cut then go to the tractor and finish the pull. Watching your videos I have learned a lot from you and your crew

When I see you cutting hinges while the tree is I recognize your “Driving steaks” and not the normal 100 to 200 trees I drop a year. I follow my Department rules but learn SO much from what you ‘Teach!1111 I absolutely enjoy your content and the education you give to everyone across every level of experience. Plus the Billy ray plug was cool. You both are top level professionals at different ends of the field.

I like the way both you and Buckin can come up with the same results but have your own twist to accomplish the job. Great job bud

Thank YOU! We come here to watch how we should it. Your words - keep me thinking safer work. I don't wish to make a mess. Cheers to you!

I've got a dying Ash tree leaning towards a fence that I need to drop the opposite way. This is a great video to give people like me ideas on how to do it safely.

My favorite kind of video you do...I have a small property and cut trees pretty often on my place your videos have made me better at putting trees exactly where I want them not just close enough thanks.

[matthewcook]

I'm commented before. I'm nothing to do with trees but you and your team are very inspirational in your professionalism. Absolute perfection is what I seek in my work. Top respect from the UK 🇬🇧. Give my regards to your team please

Billy Rays a great teacher and you too August. I’ve been cutting some big trees lately that used to be way out of my comfort zone

[jessel]

It always feels extra nice when things go right! Well done! Thanks for all your insight & thoughts. It's important to teach each other & share experience & wisdom. Thank you guys!!

[jonheron]

Great vid August! i appreciate the effort you put into educating us old electricians who play logger on the weekends!
Cheers,
Jon

I'm a new with 10 years as a ground guy. Now I'm running my own business. Your videos make me better. Wish I would have watched this first before today's job

[Tanner-williams]

Always enjoy watching these videos. There’s always something new to learn.

[Riverguide]

know that you have great respect for Jerry Beranek and his book “The Fundamentals of General Tree Work”. Thank you for bringing your quick insights on tree work to YouTube....in the personable, how-it’s-done style that makes your videos entertaining and informative.

[oakrunacres]

Love the knowledge, love the sarcasm. So many know-it-alls out there. Keep up the great work. Watching you guys is like watching your favourite sports team. We play the game but at a completely different level and only dream of being that good. 👍
