both were cut and drop mate .
There was a fence underneath the juglans so i just pieced it out as carefully as i could.
I spent an extra 15 min setting lines in two other trees so i had two separate life lines setup as i couldn't tell from the ground how dead it was.
the pine was a mushy mess...
he had a walkie talkie to the foreman so they could communicate where to what etc. but most of the time he was 300 odd meters away i just hung around waiting for the chains ......... but 3.5 tonne at max reach , can't complain really.:/:
i reckon they were about 60 to 70 odd meters tall so thats 200 feet for you guys over there. i wanted to be able to talk with the driver but the only way was to get the walkie talkie up to him haha so hand gestures it was , it made for some really interesting work .
mastermind, what an improvement on the saws.
alright chainsaw nuts , heres a few pics from big G.
we used the cranes when they had a free spot so it was quite a frantic cut and load into the ateigo , we had trucks needing to get through our loading zone so i was running back to help kai
sorry...
Yeah mate it was riddled with gano unfortunately so had to fell. the pic doesn't do it justice , not the tallest but for a carpinus it had massive trunk and leaders
I've used a friends one with the same attachment and he uses a small accessory crab or metal connector in-between the grip and the quick release .
do you have issues with it sticking ever?
these are actually in Heidelberg, Germany.:)
It was a funny one mate as i was using a very old building crane with no scale so i had to be very careful with what we were picking off.
