Huge poplar being removed by Seattle Tree Preservation. Some vid from yesterday, day 4 of probably 5, five man crew, plus stump grinding! Wow! 2nd costliest removal I've ever heard of. #1 was a 35k tree in New Zealand years ago.
They rent my 13 hp ported 3120 now and then. I brought it over, and stuck around and played cameraman! Great crew. Too bad the crane broke. It'll be fixed Monday, but they have to move the wood a good 15 feet to get to a reasonable radius for their new old 23 ton National. Over the house with a 23 tonner? Yikes!!
The tree was about 150 feet tall, and 9'4" in diameter. Produced close to 100 yards of chips.... will might fill 3 40 yard dumpsters with wood once they get finished.. and a boat load of stump grindings....though, as can be seen in the vid, it's way rotten!
