At the end, there's the wording, "Yet another bad bid!" so I guess he lost $s on this one. Only two question remain:

1. Did he lose a lot or a little? But a loss is still a loss.

2. Will he quote on something that awkward again; and if so, how much may he lose on that one?

Not really. Work out your normal costs then double it.

Add 25% then the costs of 6 new chains.

Then add the cost of a weekends drinking.

Add 15%.

Then pray you don't get the job!

Not really there's nothing under it to damage no lowering and easy to reduce the limbs first as he had a cherry picker the only problem I can see is finding somewhere to burn the bits of wood full of metal and even that's not really a problem. He just seemed to take more time in videoing it than getting the job done!

Interesting little video & job, I think this is one of those trees that its easy to do from your arm chair, but was probably a time consuming job in reality.
