Now we are getting above my pay scale

Kyle, thanks for your concerns. I do know how to calculate critical picks however as previously stated tree work is a guessing game..

Kyle my crane is 22 years old. I know how to adjust the feedback from the pressure transducers that the lmi uses to calculate the load and have done so with my stump grinder that weighs 4400. However it seems the second you get it dialed in it changes. I feel it always over reads by a good bit...

Spent most of my life crashing bicycles and motor bikes of all forms.Driving cars too fast. Im familiar with the dance but really don't want to pay the piper with the crane. Scares the shit out of me thinking of some of the consequences of flipping the crane. I love my crane and want her to...

You know a funny thing about standing up leads like that, often times right at the end of the lift when the piece is vertical you can see zero load on the crane. Now think about that, we have put a notch in top of lead, fat notch obviously and undercut it and lifted so bent all of those hinge...

Lmi has a weight read out, not sure how accurate it is though.

Heres another pick off same job, where the ball was originally attached we were only good for 1100#, after we stood it up we were good for 2400. pick weighed in at 1700 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eYb0LMcPGwA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Those are the jobs I pray for Sean, those and storm work. Funny we haven't had a storm in the 3 years that Ive had a crane!! Those 3 poplars were 30"+ and I had $5K on them , done in a day with my 3 man crew + Woody my son for half a day feeding Brutus with the wheel loader

yup tulips

OK back by popular demand........ Funny thing about the Senas, remember when they used to be called the Ropetek Com systems and cost $310 per helmet. Thanks Sherrill. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-geh9sCUSoU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

MB I realized that what we were doing wasn't 100% by the rules Sean it is now private, how do I let you watch??

Sorry lads but just realized I shouldn't show that.

Had 3 30" 100' tall poplars to remove from behind a house. Furthest away one stump was at 80' radius , this lead went out way further. this was our solution..... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C_U4BnOru48" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

To my knowledge you just have to maintain a 10' distance from energized lines

My prices may have dropped a bit on big removals but we do the work 3 times faster now so make more. Price drop is a result of trying to keep enough volume to feed Brutus.&#55357;&#56833;

run of the mill crane work, removed this declining sycamore . Then neighbor asked if we could remove his, so we swung the jib and did it On the way home we picked 6 small maples next to an office building.....

Yup as the ball raised up it lifted the skookum off the spar, even harder to believe but true is I put it back up there with the ball too!!!!

Yup

Had an interesting challenge today. We had to take down a maple in the back yard and the tough part was clean up a 24" 100' tall white pine that had blown over and across a creek. Stump was about 100' from crane and creek was about 130, too far to reach conventionally. OK so as we all know you...

I am getting ready to roll to another crane job this morning, wheel loader will be operating on an awkward bank on the lawn by the driveway. Woody is asleep and will not be coming. I feel like I am pretty aware of potential dangers. We read up about kids working for family run businesses and as...
