Crane-question, standing up single-sling picks on barberchair-prone species... Any issues?
A crane job I did about 5 years ago, I had a forest maple start to split me. Wasn't being stood up really, but split all the same.
Before cutting, I wrapped it with about 4- 6 turns of 1/2" rope that I had, for whatever reason. Maybe small diameter for a chain binder, dunno. Poor choice.
I bailed out on an SRT -choking canopy and he just broke the uncut bit free.
A small pick for his capacity. Just the top off of one of the smaller maple trees, out of 8, so the details blur.
