Good question, Marc-A. But the smaller trunk didn't weigh much, after I cut it off as far up as I could reach, off that ladder. However, I only had my regular groundie ( who is a rigging rookie), for a brief spell while we were doing the first double LD lift., plus one guy who'd never done tree...

We had a rare thunderstorm with north winds blow through a few weeks back. The first video is of a a failed double cottonwood. R It required setting the GRCS and Hobbs, each in different trees, in order to lift the tree off, then swing it clear of the house. With these great tools, the job was...
