Pine tree job....guy almost got himself killed. It was in my neighborhood, and I kept seeing the dead trees and thinking about offering to remove. One day, one tree was half gone, then work stopped. I stopped in and the lady said her BF put himself in the hospital. He had nailed 2x4s to the tree...

At work we have been straightening/reinforcing the bottom crossmembers and rails of 40yd trash containers from people dropping too heavy of objects in them too much...on operators loading the containers improperly.

I was looking at this thread and the videos on my desktop...not all exactly as I remember from a year ago. Both the vids I previously posted were the same tree, different perspective. I never had the trailer up against the tree, I think that was another option I discarded. I did look back on my...

I follow you, and I know it could be calculated, but am not nerdy enough to calc it…I assume there are calculators on the ‘net. The hitch area is double strong because it is a tilt deck…I even thought about unlatching the tilt so it could absorb some, I don’t remember why I opted not to. I...

@Burnham you have a point…I should have included a disclaimer. Don’t try this at home, kids! A green log would surely fold a std car trailer into a taco and earn one a trip to my repair shop. Eek.

@SeanKroll I appreciate your attitude and wording.

You guys are killing me. I guess if I’m here to learn about tree felling I can take the time to teach you about trailers. This similar log hardly squatted my Dodge. It’s a desert, we’re talking bone dry. I can shove one end of those try pine logs around by hand. The little 4,000 lb rated...

@Marc-Antoine i forgot to mention Big Green was moving cuz one of my guys smoked the parking brake for me, so I have to leave it in gear which has some slop.

(Different tree, same yard)

I’ll defer to y’all on the finer points of tree work, but truck and trailer use and repair is where I make my living. Been doing it my whole life. Do you know what a pintle hitch is or what it’s rated for? That trailer has bounced through the desert and down unimproved roads with big diesel...

I thought only I had luck like that

Oh, and the limbs are reasonably sized to provide some resistance and stacked strategically like a log cabin with no notches so that they crush and cushion.

Nah. Dry pine is light, even if hard from baked pitch. The trailer is not your run of the mill car trailer. It’s an equipment trailer rated for 12,000 lbs, heavy steel. Been through a lot worse. But yeah a shark gill or big tall hinge and the winch in the truck would be perfect to ease one...

More respect for high climbers.

When I wanna save time I park the trailer under the tree, drop the limbs on it, and then:

In my case, 1/2” cable and 13,000lb 6x6…I make do with what I got :)

I’m a wannabe logger I guess. I like the challenge of making it go where I want from the ground without assistance. Course when it counts I do everything I can to make sure.

Only basic spurs n flipline demolition.

I have a place to experiment

I feel your pain. That’s why I’m getting away from pain in the keister yard trees and into big eucs in the country.
