The most dangerous trimming of the tree branch with a John Deere backhoe in my life..

I’m not sure life insurance would cover you with that technique on full display

I worked for a life company for 30 years. We did not have a " being stupid" exclusion clause in any our term or whole life policies. An "accidental death" policy may not pay out, but it'd be an interesting court fight...

I bought an old bucket truck with a 40 ft boom to trim the trees around the yard and for anything that requires me to go up high. My original thought was that when I finished doing everything I wanted, I would just sell it again, but I keep finding things to do with it. I've had it for almost 6 years now.

Not even a hard hat for protection?

Like Forrest Gump said... "Stupid is as stupid does.' If I did that, I'd never have did a video of it or posted it on here. To me, it just exemplifies how ignorant you are.

Couldn’t agree more. Dangerous as hell!

I have a digger pine tree next to my house that is more than 100 years old.
It needs to trim the agley branches which look so ugly.
It is quite high, about 30ft or more.
So, I had to utilize my Ryobi pole saw, a Husqvarna 450 chainsaw and John Deere 410 backhoe.
It was very dangerous to cut the branches and would be the last cutting for that tree in my life.

Good job, one needs to be strong, confident, calculating and well balanced to do a job like that without getting hurt.

I know someone who's father was a farmer in PEI and he tried changing an outdoor barn light from the bucket of a tractor, shifted his weight suddenly on the irregular sides of the bucket, fell in the bucket and it caused the extended height and the shifted weight on the FEL to to the tractor over and he landed under the bucket being held down by the weight of the tractor, now on its side.
