The IRON GIANT

Seems like Blair Glenn out in CA gets some interesting calls for tree work. Here's one where the tree really has a lot of hardware!

I especially like Blair's 1975 Stihl 090!

Oh man, I don't watch many tree work videos to the end but that was a train wreck of a job! Hard one to bid for sure.

 

[chris_girard]

Yeah, you got that right!

 

[Pelorus]

Enjoyed watching that.
That tree sure had an interesting and eventful life.

 

[Fiddler]

What a mess...

 

[Grendel]

wow

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wouldn't take the job, but if the price was right...

 

[pantheraba]

Crazy mess...."and only a broken arm."

 

[FireFighterZero]

That would seem like it might qualify as tree abuse.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nah...

I've put tons of stuff in trees, back in the day.

That's just how it was done back then.

 

[chris_girard]

Yeah, that was the way it was back then.

I've got a crane job on an old Maple to do today. Concrete in the butt. I'm the contract climber for the job so when it comes time to make the butt pick, I'll be using the prime contractor's 3120...not my Stihl.
