Ya, and when you do something enough you know what's faster... skid steer is fast.. that's for sure... when I first got it Lowered a 30' maple limb, maybe 12-14" at the cut... lowering line was set up right over some small shrubs... Skid op came in and grabbed it before it hi the ground, pulled...

My first Speeline was a 110'+ tulip over a rose garden.... I'd strap up a big lead, think to myself.. "this weighs less than pick up truck"... and cut it... Luck of the Irish.. Another particularly memorable SL was in a very compromised tree.. the kind you'd either climb or rig from , but not...

very much a function of tree types, size and topography... My mentor hated speed lines, and rarely used them. I love a good speed line, but still rarely use one. Mostly just for moving materials in the rare cases where the tree is inaccessible... One of my favorites it to sling a big limb up...

Tree was certainly tall enough for a zipline, but no benefit to it. I parked the bucket far enough away to use the DZ under that left limb.. Cut and chucked a lot of it, then lowered a lot as fast as I could get the rope back, tie and cut... Maybe its just we're not set up for ZL as we do it so...

Not in this case Stig... There was no DZ under this piece. Once it was hung on the two lines, I untied the line going out to the limb on the left and re positioned it higher on the limb, to then pendulum smaller pieces from the hung top into the DZ, one at a time, maybe 5-6 cuts... Client had a...

Yes it is and it takes a lot of real questionable variables out of the equation... "If I do this... will I die?" is far less an issue than on rope.. On the other hand it's easy to get spoiled and out of shape.... the silver lining is that even though I was out of shape, I could still put it on...

nice PIC Reg!

what's a pole saw?? :D

That's not the question... one "HALF INCH" rope???

That's the idea.. I was out of the way so there would have been no danger in finishing the cut right awy. I wanted to get it on video though, so I cut till it just started to move, backed the bucket off to get wide enough and pullled out the phone. I;ve tried this a umber of times in the past...

Understandable, I was the one that set it up and sometimes its hard for me to see what's going in these pics...

The top going.. 26 seconds <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6csrjUssmaI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Here it is after the cut. check out the rope angle at he shackle,...

I thought this was a particularly interesting rigging configuration. I really don't like using a bull rope.. reserve the heavy lines for blocking down a big spar. Have taken a page out of Reg's book and begun using two lowering lines for heavier pieces... I was swinging everything from this...
