Great vid. I like the nicely rigged and balanced TD cuts, they show your crane background.

At 8.35, why did you cut thru that thick part instead of a little higher?

I presume the crane couldn't reach the parts you took down my hand? Pita!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice.

Do you guys have to remove the debris from people's roofs when you are done?

But of course.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice job Brian

 

[treebilly]

Nice job. I did a declining Chinese elm last year that poured like that. Just like turning a faucet on. Loaded the truck and let it sit for a few hours while we did a couple other small removals and I swear it lost 1000 lbs of moisture in that time.
Was that a couple day job? Seems like they pull a ton of water from the ground after being cut hard and left overnight

One of the best yet Bri, awesome!

 

[Bixler]

Thanks Mistahbenn. Thanks everyone.

This latest vid was inspired by my dearest friend Merle Nelson. Thanks Merle!

Also, huge thanks to BOTS and the entire crew for working so hard all the time!

[BOTS]

That vid turned out great Bix, those pondos were big ones fo sho!!..fun day in the Sierra's

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Great stuff! And of course it reminds me why I need a bigger chipper. LOL

 

[Mick!]

I have to ration my video watching these days, but I'm glad I watched that.

Chipper looks the business.

Good work and video Brian

 

[Bixler]

Cool! Thank ya.

 

[woodslinger]

Cool vid, I love the montage / floating tree clips at the end

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Cool. Why did four of you lift that log?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Because they could!

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

I saw the winch after watching the 4 man lift.

 

[Merle Nelson]

Crane had tree top at that point?

 

[Bixler]

Sean, I wondered the same thing. Yep Merle, the top was still on the crane at that point. All I could figure is they did it for production/efficiency - and, maybe like MB says, cuz they could

Maybe it was faster than winching the tree onto the feed table, then having to re-set the winch to get it into the feed roller? I'm not sure. Good question Sean, thanks for watching.

 

[BOTS]

I was there...it was way faster to pick up top (plenty of groundies) than re-set rope/winch to winch in...the crane was moving fast that day...we-git-R-done...another piece on its way...send crane home as soon as you can$$...we killed it that day like a racing pit crew

 

[sawman]

 

[Bixler]

Ha!

Those clips were not sped up. Nope.
