Yup...'nuf said.

That would be great, Jay. Thanks.

I tried to find a video of the thing in operation...I know we were shown some vhs tapes before the demo. But no joy so far.

That could well work, Willie. What about the lean in the yellow arrow tree...that any cause for concern? When we set up the double tie in in that thread I started earlier this week, we also put a tag line on the climber and assigned one man to be responsible for pulling him out of the possible...

Back in the late 80's we were doing some experimentation with pruning conifer plantations to promote clear wood production. There was a powered tree climbing pruner that was developed in Europe, I think, that we had demoed for us. It had some problems, but the concept was cool. I think they...

Pretty much kills that proposal, doesn't it :whine:.

Yes, fell from the ground...I should have made that more obvious, I guess. Brent...read my post, brother :D. I specified 200 feet of pull line and 75 more feet of running room...the tree is 160 feet tall. It'll stand up and commit in less that 75 feet for sure, less than half that I bet...

I thought I said to face it opposite the lean, Brent :P. Pay no attention to the "tweeks", beyond to figure them in to reading the overall head lean, then go with opposite your read of the lean. Sure, if climbing to the height I propose is out, then it's not viable. I know Willie indicated it...

OK, this solution is a little out there, and there's no way to know if it's even potentially viable from the pics... I managed one not too different some years back by felling it, pulling dead against the lean with a road grader. It was about the same size, about the same diameter, western...
