!" is the largest I ever used and they were plenty big!

We called em jaggers

We say 'put a roll on it.' I like that kicker term, Imma start using it, thx Zane. I had no term for it before, just an explanation. It's a key technique

You worked at the kind of large outfit I'm referencing. Was it a kinda crazy rat race or was it more casual, given that once a crane is on site and set up, the resulting tree removal tends to be hugely easier and faster than doing it sans crane.

Gotta find peeps willing to pay money to have those happen

I'm probably just too small-time to fathom it all

Dan Mayer himself always said, when asked how can you afford these cranes doing treework, that the cranes make so much money so fast, he couldnt possibly afford not to have them. But still, when 'everyone' has a huge crane, does the metric change?

Yeah aite, bump. The OP date is 2010. Since then, the Mayer Effect has spread slowly but surely in the northeast area. There is one outfit in my hood, "Rayzors Edge" and actually quite a few in MA and NH- East Coast Tree service, Tree Masters, Marquis, Warwick Tree service, etc etc etc. All...

Perhaps secondarily. EAB is the primary cause of morbidity.

Another thing about this tree- it was one of those that looked like it had lean to 3 or 4 different directions depending on where you viewed it from ( which perhaps means it has more or less no lean). Any of youse ever use a plumb bob like them fallers out west? I keep meaning to try it...

The one at upper right. Its no big deal but it can make one wonder

Do you check out many of the felling cuts and wonder at the skill level of the faller? The face in the first pic is an example. I see it regularly at the firewood yard, but hey, they get it done.

I went for a sweet ride on saturday in beautiful spring weather, rode 11mi one way to the CT Tree Climbing Championship, it was in Bridgeport CT at Seaside park which is a rather large park right on the, um, you guessed it, seaside. Had fun watching a bunch of good climbers, chatted up some...
