Tree felling vids

[RopeArmour]

Cold day for a hazard removal.
Very little movement due to the frozen wood/rot at that main fork.
I will be saving all my high hazard trees for winter if they can wait.

Here's some footage of a water oak I took down two years ago. Helmet cam card was full...got zero footage with it....

My daughter filmed with my Canon on tripod until its card got full or batteries died, I forget which. Anywho, here's some of what I got....

Rock it!

That was a sweet final cut, using the drill and all on the grcs.

Did you consider using a crane to nuke that tree?

 

[Mick!]

Where did all the stuff go? It all mysteriously disappeared when it hit the ground! Show us the iron!

 

[mistahbenn]

Yeh lovely last cut! Smooth as butter, makes me want a GRCS even more!

 

[treesmith]

Crane would have cost too much, Cory. I took that oak out for $600. No way I could have done that using a crane. Also took out a pecan, though it was rather simple in comparison.

There were three guys from the church there, one of whom lived two blocks away. He brought his Kubota with front end loader/forks and they pretty much kept it pulled out of the way for us. Really helped out not having the debris pile up.

The GRCS was a help, though we only winched three I think. Used the bollard for nearly all of it.

You gave them the brother-in-law price! Deal of the century. I would have charged at least twice that.

Bet you will get some good referral business from that.

Yes, he will get a rep for being cheap. I wouldn't want that rep.

 

[treesmith]

Ha! Folks here won't pay like they will elsewhere. Didn't take but 4.5-5 hours climb time.

Markets dictate a lot. What a tree is worth here and what its worth 100 miles south of here are two seriously different animals.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Some good roping going on there Scott. Nice job!

 

[FireFighterZero]

That looked like a fun tree to work in, I imagine. Thanks for the video. I wish I could go somewhere that has trees like that to learn about this job.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yeah, I like your guy running your rope. He seems real serious about doing a good job.

RICHARD!!!

 

[NHlocal]

Funny stuff.....

 

[CurSedVoyce]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was awesome!

Ford Built tough.. just not that tough

 

[Tucker943]

That's just a scratch on a Ford. Not even worth buffing out.

 

[pantheraba]

Hahaha..did not foresee the truck rolling away!! Richard!!!

 

[cory]

;that was one of the best ever, that had me howling. Unbelievable.

 

[old irish]

It is hard to believe that someone like, that could make such a good shot into the back of that old Ford.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

A very good one.
I didn't expect that the truck could be able to roll away with such a load (and hit).
Tough truck for sure.
