    on a horizontal limb, you make a level cut, then intersect with a vertical ish cut close to the trunk, basically cuts a limb off and leaves a "shelf" for it to sit on while the climber gets out of the way and the crane takes it away

    I do not think I'm "cutting edge" or anything You know how they say pictures are worth a thousand words? Being there in person is worth way more, the book only works for textbook scenarios, anything beyond that and the book will get you killed I've never been hurt doing stuff my way, but have...

    you must think I wonder why, I don't, you old guys just don't like the new generation doing the same work you do, unlike what you told your kids, its not uphill both ways unlike this argument you are trying to start as my mom would say: "suck it up buttercup"

    the video pretty much shows it, put the sling perpendicular to where you are going to cut so as to put the most force into rotating and snapping the cut, do a snap cut, leaving enough wood to hold just the amount the crane is "off by", say it needs 1000 pounds of tension but you guessed 1200...

    I do snap cuts for a few reasons, mainly the operator likes them, also I can get away from a piece before its comes off, if something were to go wrong it wouldnt matter if it was cut 100% off or a cut that I could break by hand, the crane knows no difference, the LMI reads the same, theres no...

    The snap cut doesn't shock load anything the way I do it, the owner of the crane company actually asks us to do it, it would shock load if you just ripped it off, but we cable down and back up and it breaks it nice and clean I'd be interested to see the equalizing sling, as of late I just do...
