That tree would bust up concrete for sure.

Green and healthy: it hinges pretty well for swinging limbs. Dead or dying: not so much, they can be brittle or punky. For swinging limbs away from targets I’d use a pull line or even a polesaw to push or pull in the right direction.

I bet a conifer of that girth might bust up something.

That looks a lot like an EAB kill. I don’t miss ash removals one bit.

What do think of the decision to fell across a street like that? In the middle of winter after a month and half of sub 0° temps, still a bad idea. That tree had some serious tonnage to it.

The more I watch that the more I have questions. More details would be nice.

Jaysus!

How it went today

Can anybody repost the last video? I can’t open it for some reason.

1/2” insurance is real cheap, hone up on your throw ball skills.

Don’t you know they were perfectly straight and healthy last year?

A European or African swallow?

I had a small maple split like that, and had a hickory log split after it was felled. So many amazing members in this thread.

lol

Species specific technique right there. River birch being the optimal species, elm would be another good one, spruce maybe. But then again ye old bomb pad is real easy to make for non impact turf jobs. Or cut it low enough so the log comes in flat. Then again the longer I’ve been in business...

How’s the visibility of the cut?

I had a job where the tree must go this way. 110’ 50” DBH cottonweed slight back weight over the transmission lines for an industrial park. Big c-sucker of a tree slightly swampy ground so it was full of water. The city didn’t want to cut it, utilities said it was outside their ROW( doubtful)...

I’ve got a 200’ 1” that I flake into a 30 gallon garbage can, stupid heavy!

You can make it here by 8:00.

5/8” or 3/4” amsteel II will pull everything. I think Stig had 1” amsteel II and pulled with a forwarder.
