That's about what you'd expect.

Nice idea IF the rope and chain lay right . But hey, it's a CHAIN, not a CHAINSAW. Some of us commenters are a PITA.

OF COURSE it landed on another tree. It never fails!😭 But still a great job.😊

"And you don't want to stand underneath the branch because..." I like how you felt the need to explain that.🤣

👍👍👍👍👍

His wife appreciates him, even though she thinks he’s a bit of a dork.

And a great lat workout.

No helmet or glasses for flying debris. No fences were taken down, no broken utilities lines, I guess you can call that a success 👍🏽 ain’t showing this to my kids 😅 can’t imagine a neighbor complaining about a hammer going through their window

Success. Good!

the great escape comes to mind easy does it

Brilliant ❤

Brillant.👍👍👍

Amature

One of the best DIY in UA-cam

Omg you just saved me lol. No one answers or shows up, and I have branches touching my roof and shading my yard so much grass won’t grow. I was planning to just climb the trees, but googled “how to cut tall tree branches”…why isn’t this taught at school??? I guess tomorrow is arm day 😅

Dude could play Ed Helms’ stunt double

Dude. Get pants with knees.

I’ve got so so SO many limbs that I need cut. I was told thousands. 3 that need to be laid down but many that just need trimming. I wish I could manage the trims and just pay for the full cuts. Sigh.

Absolute genius! So simple. Thanks!

It's a chain, not a blade.

I bet after he cyt three branches down..then turn around..honey I quit...lol

most important person of this video is making humming noise from the background. we want to see him/her.

You can minimize damage by making several cuts along the branch to make many smaller logs.

I love my ecobee. I just turn the ac on from my phone 5 minutes before I get home and the house is cool when I get there. I wired the wall thermostat but had to call the hvac company to finish the wiring in the air handler.

❤😂🎉. Lots of manual labor but it worked and saved you $280 or so. I'm going to try it. I have an extra chain saw blade and rope. Now I just wait for cooler temperatures in October maybe jan or Feb when the tree goes bare. Until then go to the gym to build up strength and stamina. I've had the two trees trimmed 3 times and they have not done what I asked them to do.

I’ve got to try this

1. poor sound quality, should've used a closer microphone. 2. you have to make sure the chain saw teeth are positioned properly, and that's not easy. 3. throwing a hammer over a high branch is not easy. So you could try but with a limited success. Not to mention, IO wonder how long it took you to saw through such a thick branch

I was waiting to hear “ three hours later” 🤣

So smart

Wish I could just throw a rope that high! 😂

Looks like in previous takes of the video the chain saw came off and hit this guy's jeans a couple times....brilliant editing!

I tried this and got it stuck on the tree first time and it is still there. You really need luck and skills to get it done with this

“Make sure nobody’s around“ so they don’t laugh at you! Great video and great idea but I bet you won’t be able to lift up a glass of milk with those tired arms.

Hilarious

How from 20' away, do you rotate or even see the teeth on the blade, and if the teeth are the furthest side from the center, how do you rock the blade, from a low corner to the high part of the tooth? Seriously, this looks like it would wear you out before you cut halfway thru, and that the branch weight should have started snapping downward, before you cut this far, and would not have come straight down, but would have swung back toward the tree and you, before hitting the ground. Looks good if it will work, but something still feels wrong.

Never would’ve thought of that, thank you.

It's even better with two people because you can spread apart, which means you concentrate the cutting on the top, which makes it less likely that the tree will pinch and bind the chain as it starts to sag and drop. If you have the handles close together you cut the top and the sides. As the branch starts to sag the cut low down on the sides will pinch the chain. It sucks having your chain stuck 30 feet up in a tree with a dangerously partially cut branch.

Not cool to not show the real time lapse. The actuality is that you must do this for at least 20 minutes with a branch as thick as he was removing. Thatd be nice to include in the description. Its better to hire a pro if youre not strong enough

“You don’t wanna stand underneath the branch because gravity will pull it down” 3:34 (then 2 seconds later, he’s directly underneath the branch)😮😅

I have been a landscaper and groundskeeper for over 25 years. I would never do this. I would call in a professional tree trimmer if the branch has a diameter over 20 cm and over 5 m above ground level. There are too many things that can go wrong. It is not worth the risks.

3:33 "and you don't want to stand underneath the branch...." 3:47 *stands underneath branch*

A friend of mine and myself made one of these out of a chainsaw blade and a wire and rope one time when there was a limb that he couldn't get out to as a climber and it was too close to a power line to take the whole thing at once.

I was wondering when the gloves were coming out.

How would you flip the blade over

I used this exact method over the weekend to cut down four high branches ... ranging from 4" to 6" in diameter. I worked, but I found it to be a bit risky. I was able to stand somewhat behind the tree to shield myself from the falling branches, but one of them still managed to graze my arm as it came down. Make sure your health insurance is paid up before attempting.

Genius

Chainsaw and a ladder 😂

Great learning video. Thanks!

That almost took out you're fence😮 good thing that little tree stopped the branch

It’s always the simple stuff that’s the best ideas.
