Finished getting the one off the roof today. 3 evenings.
Dropped this little mesquite and firewooded it. I was happy with how much I was able to direct it to the side vs. the lean.
Yes, it’s a 50’ 10k lift with stabilizers/outriggers. We were mostly rigging to it vs. using the forks. Kept the pieces pretty small, one 4-6” limb at a time. It was invaluable, straight from the tree to the truck, although like I think I said before, I think it would have been faster and safer...
@Bermy , @gf beranek remember how we were thinking that one small limb needed lightened a little a while back? Ha!
