In this episode we take on a huge cottonwood removal on a lakefront property. The tree was massive and located behind the house right next to the frozen lake, which meant there was no way to drop it traditionally. The only safe option was bringing in our 115-ton crane and making big picks over the house and setting the pieces in the street.
To make it happen, we set up the crane in the front yard with full counterweight and carefully reached over the house to remove the giant cottonwood piece by piece. It was a beautiful winter day on the lake, but you can still tell spring isn’t quite here yet with the ice still covering the water.
The job went smoothly, but it turned into a long day on site, and we didn’t wrap up until around 8:30 PM. After a long winter it felt great to be back at it and tackling big removals again. Definitely looking forward to spring and a busy tree season ahead.

Real professionals ✔👍 —–
You should show more ground crew work like how you processed the trunks and such.
Spencer does a very good job at riging. He definitely has got the eye.
So how many pounds did your burrito weigh in at. Looked like you had no trouble in making that pick an lift Reon 😂😂😂
Needed some romantic music and a slowmo shot when they repelled down together!
9:03 I hope you charge for the show
you guys are so freaking amazing!
Great job. 👍💪🥇 🪵🪓
Nice rigging lads…Well done…💪💪🍺👌👌
Nice work 💪 We did a similar cotton wood last week but we had better access with the crane.
Great work as always, huge tree dismantled efficiently like clockwork from the professionals
Oof. Long day.
Roen Crew – I just want you all to know that my husband and I LOVE your channel! We're new subscribers and haven't stopped watching since we found you. You bring so much joy to a couple of old people like us who's had a lifetime of hard work (back when you did things the hard way), We can relate to your long days and appreciate you documenting such amazing work. Ya'll make it look so easy. Much respect from the GA/AL border.
Great job. Didn't know cottonwood could be so massive. I know they're messy. Don't mind the cotton as much as the brittle wood breakage. Hangers are dangerous. I appreciated leaving in the edit, Spencer getting out of the way under the picks.
Out here in the PNW cottonwood grows among the evergreens. Hangers can get tangled and hidden. What you all do is not for the faint of heart. Respect.
Really cool setup and great rigging. If that was my tree, I’d have left the eight foot trunk for a chainsaw carving. 🤙
I loved seeing the old folks in the lawn chairs watching the job! It would be great if you could show a little bit about what you do with the wood and chips from your jobs. Do you process firewood or give/sell it to somebody for that? Do any of the logs go to local sawyers for lumber or slabs? And I think I remember seeing in one of your videos that you dump some wood chips for a local farmer to use.
Why not change boom configuration to give you more capacity?
I never understood the facination with things weighing in pounds except it sounds impressive in theory. Why not call it 25 tonnes?
Cottonwoods get sooo big at least around here. Each pick was a tree in itself. "Which I'm sure the audience said also" 😅 Spencer is pretty incredible at setting slings. Those picks come off sooo good ❤ and it's Crazy to be able to do that job in one day !!!! Super Awesome job guy's ❤❤ Thank you Reon for all the extra work letting us come along !!!
Good job guys, I enjoy watching the crane work from south Texas.
Hey guys. I also let you know how wonderful it is to see Spencer back. I would love to hear more about his vacation.❤❤❤. He is extremely talented with a chainsaw. Not many people can do what he does, when did he start cutting with the chainsaw, and who taught him?❤❤❤.
Hey Reon
If you 2 or 3 parted the line could the grove lift more weight ? why do other cranes do that
Thank you.
🌲🌲🌳🌲🌳 Spencer is BACK!
You ever count the rings on those big stumps? 😊
Yea! Spencer's back – nice size Cottonwood tree – come to my state and I'll show some REALLY BIG COTTONWOOD TREES 😂😂- nothing like an audience watching u work falling a Tree
